PRINCETON SUBSTITUTES EASILY DEFEATED WILLIAMS

Yale Suffered Third Defeat of Season at Hands of Colgate.--Brown Victorious.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

That Princeton is saving its best strategy to use against Harvard was plainly shown in the former's game against Williams on Saturday. Without the services of five of its most valuable men the Tiger eleven by means of simple, straight football battered out a 27 to 0 victory over the lighter team from the Berkshires. Williams, though outweighed and outclassed, nevertheless, withstood staunchly the Tigers' attack in the first half and held the victors to a single touchdown. In the second half, however, Princeton's persistent hammering told upon the Purple eleven and three more touchdowns were piled up. Shea and Law both played well for Princeton, but Moore, who went in in the second half, was the real star of the game. The latter made consistent gains through the opponents' line and on one occasion drove through a broken field forty yards for a touchdown.

Captain Glick and Tibbott, the Tigers' regular back-field, Highley and Brown ends, and McLean, the star tackle, were missing from Saturday's line-up, all except Tibbott being spectators at the Harvard-Penn. State game. Considering this loss, the substitute Princeton eleven displayed some excellent football. They wee satisfied with a rushing game and tried and four passes.

Laplant, at end, for the visitors furnished several thrills and succeeded on one occasion in carrying the ball to Princeton's five-yard line as a result of a forward pass. Here, however, the Williams team was held helpless.

Colgate's Trick Plays Successful.

Yale's downfall before Colgate was due chiefly to its failure to diagnose a few very effective trick-plays. Until the last period the Yale defense on straight plays was sufficiently strong but was outwitted to such an extent on a diverse attack that two touchdowns were made against it on plays starting nearly at the centre of the field.

On the offense, although Scovil made numerous gains through the line, the Yale team lacked a sustained attack and a score was impossible. Penalties and fumbles were numerous in this game, Yale's chief difficulty being a propensity to get off-side. Statistics show that Yale gained by rushing 55 yards in the first half, against 80 yards by their opponents; and 34 yards in the second half as against 195 by the victors.

Brown Overwhelmed Vermont.

Brown defeated Vermont 46 to 0 in a game which showed no brilliant playing. Vermont was decidedly inferior and the Brunonians were not called upon to exert themselves. Pollard, at halfback, Andrews, and Purdy were the stars. The game was won chiefly on straight football though a few successful lateral passes were executed.
