Yale coach Jordan Olivar started this wrangling by complaining that Princeton had deliberately run up the score, in defeating his team, 50-14, last weekend. Dick Colman, the Princeton coach, therupon produced some elaborate statistics to show how little the first Tiger team had played in the contest, and graciously asserted that "we could have put in our freshman 'B-squad' and still torn them apart."

Yale's defense permitted the Tigers two more touchdowns than the Yardlings, while its offense scored 37 points...
