The air was blue with Yale men dropping on the ball, and thus Yale scored her second touchdown. Princeton gained a few yards on her V trick, and at this point Carter was ruled off for foul tackling. Brooks took his place and did very good work. His white jacket was easily distinguished from the mud and water-soaked, others-for about two minutes Yale still forced the fighting...
