The Tigers opened up a spread formation, but a for ward pass failed to gain and Mahan In tercepted an on-slde kick. Exchanges of punt after short gains by Harvard's backs worked the ball Into Princeton territory, the Tigers having the ball on their own twenty-five yard line when half time was called. In the first half the Princeton players seemed completely bewildered by the con cealed ball attacks which the Harvard backs repeatedly used at the outset of their charges.

Mahan's fair catch was Interfered with and Princeton drew the first penalty of the game fif teen yards. This gave Mahan another chance to drop kick, but he missed by a narrow margin. More kicking followed neither team being able to gain consist ently by rushing. Harvard got to going again as the period neared Its end, Brad lee finding one hole In center through which he ran to. the twenty-five yard mark.
