RINCETON. N. J.. - Nov. 18.
' Another hero was added to tbe long
list of Princeton's gridiron stars
when Kenneth Smith the Tiger's
right end dropped kicked a field
goal in ho third period of tbe game
against Yale here this afternoon
and won the annual later-varsity
classic for the Orange and Black.
3 to 0.
' Smith's name will go down in
Princeton's pigskin - history with
those of the famous roes John
Dewitt Sam White and others who
with sterling gridiron deeds have
cored winning points for their
alma mater.
All season Princeton coaches have
been drilling Smith ill the art of drop-
kicking as soma years ago Harvanl
developed Charley Brickley. Today
their task brought ample reward. Tin-
Newark lad scarcely out of his teens
tonding cn Vale's 15-yard line calmly
lifted the ball over the goal bar and
tills feat not particularly impressive
nt the lime spelled victory in 1 use
letters late in the twilight when the
rival teams left the field without fur-
ther scoring.
Long Story Mad Short.
. The story of the play which ;ave
I ' Princeton another victory in the se-
ries which reached the forty-sixth
': game today can-be told in a few
words.
Following an exchange of punts
Princeton received the ball near rald-
. . field. On the first lineup the Tigers
" crossed the Bull Dogs with a forward
p pass thrown by Cleaves and caught by
Treat for an 11-yard gain. On the
F v next lineup Cleaves sprinted and side-
stepped his way through Yale's left
wins Between tackle and for a "seven-
yard gain; Beattle substituting for
i Left Halfback Crum. dashed rtrounrt
Yale's right nd to the Eli's l.i-vard
line. Culdwell (rained four yards on n
triple pass and here Princeton's of-
fense was checked. Yale's powerlul
line refused to yield another inch. t1
after two attempts to pass Smltn's
signal for a drop kick was called.
'Standi!-;; within easy distance his
objective and the Princeton line hold-
ing the savage Yale chargers like n
stonewall he calmly dropped the bail
to the ground and booted It on the
rebound neatly and completely over
the bir for a flM coal which ulti--mately
won the game.
The feat In Itself was nothing ex-
traordinary from a football stynilpo'f T.
It rounded out and completed how
ever me of the most remark ihle hh-
nns In the hivtory of the Tlgua' grid-
iron elevens. It added a triun-.ph ove "
Ynle Princeton's oldest and dearest
rival as the climax to a fall of football
play In which both the University of
Chicago and Harvard bowed In defeat
.before Nassau's great combination.
Teams Evenly Matched.
Considered as a whole the teams
nnpenred more or less evenly mntchei.
nd each seemed to lack the finishing
punch to put over scores when oppor-
tunities and excellent plavs had
brought the bull well within the tcm-
Ing rone. Tbe game opened win one

structions and taking precautions

liome of Charles Dann Gibson to rest
before attending a performance this
afternoon at the Metropolitan opera
house to test the accoustlcs of the au
ditorium in which he will address his
first American audience next Tuesday
night.
In his teply to acting Mayor Hulbert
M. Clemenceau paid tribute to Amer-
ica's part in the world war saying:
"We have had a terrific fight the
greatest war that ever was In the
world. Men fell by hundreds of thou-
sands In that war and we waited very
long sometimes and we looked around
to see If some help would not come.
"Help did come and It came mag-
nificently. I must say in the shape of
the American soldier. I can speak of
it as having seen on the fields and 1
have seen it too on the farm. Very
often I met at the peasants home a
big. huge American with two childxen
on his knees telling stories to them
and trying to understand the questions
that the old men and women should
ask about America.
Saw Americans Fight.
"I have seen them the Americans
In the fight and I have seen them In
the field when the Americans under
the command of General Pershing took
hold marvelously at St. Mlhlel i
leasing a great many people. When I
arrived the next day. what did I see?
All -the American motors In the old
dty full of French women and chil-
dren and flowers. These poor oeoela
who hsdftiot been allowed to get out'of
tneiroens for three years were rescued
oy tne Americans.
And I saw the .crowd cry. and
laughing and crying. I think I saw
once In a while an American soldier
get a kiss from some woman. It was
the next day after the battle took
place when all of the city had been
emptied oy the Americans. It was
Joy not to be forgotten.
I saw sometimes the worst. I
nave seen Americans in the mud
trenches for days and days without
being relieved and looking very sorry
but the moment I came and brought
them the crosses of-war they had so
magniticiently gained they were all
smiles. They did not cry and I could
see the twinkle In their eyes. One
day in the highway I met a troop of
soldiers going home and they made me
feel sad when they spoke of the old
country.
"They said: "Won't you come to
-merica some dsy?" I said: 'No. I
am too old; I can not think of going
mere I said: -you make me make
speeches and It tires mv lunis.
have very few of them left poor mis-
erable things.' They said: 'You dn
come. -I won't go.' I said and for
years nmi years I said T won't go.'
Received Bad News.
one morning I was In mv private
house bordering on ti'e sea on the
other side of the water when I re
reived bad news from America. I
heard bad names. We were called Im
perialists and militarists. I think that
Is horrid and I thought I had better go
and tell them how tl.lngs happened to
pass and to show them that their Judg-
ment was not correct.
"One day a British newspaper ar-
rived. It contained criticisms from
Americans of very high standing call-
ing America bad names. At that mo-
ment I decided I had better go to
America. That Is the reason why I
am here.
"Nobody can ascribe sny personal
nims to my act in visiting this coun-
try. My life Is over - .... It
necessary. Iiec.iuso In the world at this
time there la a crisis that has not been
titled yet. How it will end nobodv
knows. If you take the wtong fide-
well then the war counts r nothing
and we msy have tr- go to war again.
If It turns out right and the right
thing Is done it the right time then it
will be one of the greatest steps for
the civilisation of mankind.
"That Is the question I have come to
put to America. I will ask them for
great freedom of thought and great
freedom of speech. I must be allowed
