In the first place, Yale was not con ceded much of a chance to win. Princeton was supposed to have much the stronger team. Most of the ex perts said so, in just so many words. Yale's varsity squad of football players had a hospital list longer than a college cheer. The line up it was presenting this afternoon in the ! annual gridiron muss with old Nassau 1 was said to be one of those hastily scrambled up affairs messy sort of football arrangement, as one gath ered from the talk, that Tad Jones, the Yale coach, had tossed together overnight. Princeton was the favorite in the betting. So Yale won. The condi tions recited are almost ideal for Yale winning against Princeton. The ! same thing happened last year, and j in other years. People always forget Yale's birth right when they get to doing ad vance thinking on this particular 1 0 game, which is the privilege of lick ing Princeton. It, must be a birthright, for Yale is always doing it. Yale and Prince ton have played forty-two games up today and Yale has won twenty-two. Princeton has taken ten and nine were tied. There is certainly some-' thing in that birthright theory. The! At Tulsa Kendall, 46; Haskell, 0. At Brown wood Texas Christian, Daniel Baker, 0. At Athens, Ga. Georgia Tech 21, Georgia University 0.

'iwo divisions have commandeered all the. attention of the boxing community since the in auguration of the Fall campaign two months ago. . These are the middle weight and light heavyweight classes. Never before in the history of the game has there been . such a surfeit of formidable combatants in any two divisions of pugilism. As a result of this state of affairs, interest has been diminishing a space in the five other classes bantam, peather, light, wel ter and heavy. The old regime of middleweights is rapidly dying out. Les Darcy, and Australian prototype of Bob Fitzsim- mons, accounted tor the elimination of the four real veterans of tbe mid dleweight clan. His decisive victories over Eddie McGoorty, George Chip, Jimmy Clabby and Duck Crousex put those gentlemen out of the considera tion for championship honors. " main to dispute the championship claims of Al McCoy, the self-styled champion, and Les Darcy, who is champion by acclamation in Australia, are Bob Moha, Mike Gibbons, and a newcomer to the division, Jimmy O'Hagen. Of, the last named, more anon. Moha, who is not averse to bat tling such Goliaths arm as Joe Cox, who weighs 210 pounds on the hoof, scales in around the 165-poiind mark, The Georgetown boys did. much as they pleased with the Aggies, scoring at will. - Not until the fourths period, when the Georgetown team was composed almost wholly of substitutes, were the Aggies able ; to -score a touehdown. Towards the ; : end . of . the game the Tar Heels worked the ball to the Georgetown 15-yard line and, by per sistent, terrific and determined line plunging, shoved Halfback Lee over for a touchdown. .

Harry LeGore, who was about the only able-bodied regular of ' any considerable experience left to Yale by the wallopings of football fate, is the first man to cross Princeton's goal line this year. Captain "Cupid" Black, leader of the Yale squad, was all mussed up at the close of the ; game His satorial arrangements were all disarranged.

Somehow the flustered condition of Captain Cupid seemed to typify the spirit of the whole Yale team. It was not expected to win, so it just up and won. The Yale cheering section was nat urally in quite a ferment toward the close, but the '.cheer leaders coun selled restraint. "You are not to touch any of the players after the game," they bawled through their megaphones, where fore Captain Black Jim Braden, Harry LeGore and the rest of the lads escaped intact. The cheering section took it out in snake dancing around the field, aided and abetted by large segments of the army of 35,000 which mustered in at aimer Stadium today. Jim Bra den's goal from field was the first punch Yale got over, a.nd it came in a surprising manner. The Princeton players all stood still and watched Yale kick off in the second half ap parently without making the slight est effort to get under the ball, as it came whirling downward. It : was just as if a group of outfielders stood still and let a fly ball land safe. What was in the minds of those Princeton lads at that moment is to this hour unknown, but the thoughts of one Mosely of the Yale squad are generally-public. . " Mosely came tearing up into the midst of the assembled and waiting Princeton players, grabbed the ball and lugged it to an advantageous po sition for Jim Braden, the pinch kicker, to kick it over the Princeton goal. v A fumble by Princeton lead to y ale's touchdown. It will be seen that Yale's birthright was in grand working order. The Princeton team . seemed to be playing without any great amount of dash. Yale had a: lot 'of that. 5 Through the first half the teams fought on even terms, so even that It was not much of a spectacle from the' standpoint of the people in the : stands. That boot'of Braden's seem ed to affect the Tigers for a moment like a kick below the belt, although they never quit fighting, and? never quit trying.

GEORGIA TECHS STILL AMONG THE LEADERS. it anything vital, depends on the out come. Gibbons is well under the 158 pound notch, which qualifies him for championship matches in that divis ion. Both Moha and Gibbons have prov ed their worth, but it remains for O'Hagen, a 19-year-old boy, to estab lish his claim to recognition as a champ'onship' contender. If willing ness and fearlessness, combined with ability, mean championship qualifica tions, thou O'Hagen must be given due consideration. O'Hagen, who is a native of Albany, bases his claim for recognition on his work in the last few months. In a brief space of time he defeated Mike Glover, Marty Cross, M. O. Sweeny, Silent Martin, Frank Carbone and "Kid" Alberts. Then O'Hagen's man ager set about a match with "Cham pion" Al McCoy. It was. proposed that the bout go fifteen rounds to a decision at Providence, R. I. McCoy, who has seldom (By Frank G. Menke.)

That was when Bond carried the ball on two plays from weir down in Har vard territory to Brown's 24-yard line. But this effort was not sustained. Harvard fought all the way, but Brown deserved every effort she scorr ed. Harvard was up against the real thing. Pollard, alone, made all three touch downs possible, although he only made two of the tallies himself. He treated the Harvard team with less respect than he did Yale a year ago. He was here, there and everywhere and to him goes the greatest credit in Brown's first triumph over Harvard. There were few penalties and few fumbles and they did not come at critical times. Brown students had a snake dance on the field after the game and were so enthusiastic that only the timely arrival of brass buttons kept them from carrying the goal posts back to Providence with them. , best little footballers they've uncover receivedled out in the West for years and more than $1000 a fight even after ; years.
