Show 1 MM UPSETS IN I EASTERN GRIDS MI ow York ov 1- Ya'e's spcc- liftl tacular rally and defeat of tho best K'S football machine turned out by Prince- S'W on n ycar3 furnished the greatest Vn upset In form that has marked east- Trfflj ern gridiron classics in many seasons. i? At e same time, the massacre of V$m Colgate by Syracuse, "whilo the Cor- r fil ne cloven'only saved itself from de- jros fea-t at the hands of Washington and KM Lee by a great rally in the closing jljftM half of the contest, and tho downfall i!pf Brwn before Harvard, furnished ijtta more surprises In the week end j U games. I (lil The Tigers invaded New Haven . Hjjjl with a splendidly coached eleven, jjlJ which all through tho season obtained 1 fill a remarkable amount of power and ac- sgjj tion out of a squad composed of only i $$i fair material. Yale, on the other J hand, had a band of players, who, I man for man, were equal to any J&' among the bigger institutions, but the ftS Elis lacked everything that went to- I f ward the making of a perfect grid- f t j iron unit. . f $ It is true that Princeton did not SI show the same amount of strength JI and speed that has marked some of 1 1 her earlier battles and that Yale bene- j A fitted -by what breaks there were in j 1 ' tho game, but the fact remains that 1 tho Elis uncovered a remarkable im- X provement after less than two weeks w of coaching under Shevlin, and swept ) 1 ' the Tigors off their feet. In perfect- lie ness of hoth offensive and defense, Individual and team play, Princeton towered over tho rough and ready tactics tac-tics of the Blue. Tho interference, tackling, punting and speed of the Orange and Black hrigado stood out in marked contiast to tho crude of-rorts of-rorts of the Yalo cloven. Several errors er-rors In generalship, coupled with fatal fumbling at critical moments moro than offset this advantage, however, and made it possible for tho Blue to turn the clever kicking of Guernsey and the alertness of Way and other players In following tho ball, to a winning advantage. |
