Famous For Drop Kick. tSprgsal to The Couiant.) Haven, Nov. 8. Dr. Bull was properly called the father of Inter-collegiate football kicking in all its forms.

As an under graduate he was the first person to win Important football games by the use of the drop-kick. His first exploit of this kind occurred in wien he lifted two field goals which won the Yale-Princeton game, the most important match of the season on the Polo Grounds, Thanksgiving afternoon. This was the only scoring or the game. Bull graduated from Yale with the Sheffield School class of 1888, and immediately was called upon to coach successive backfield stars in the art of perfect place, drop and distanc kiakmg. All ot Yale's toe specialists have- been th products of Bull's coaching, begin ning with Lee MeClung, who directly succeeded him and continuing through Vance.

WILLIAMS, PRINCETON SUB, PLAYSTO GLORY Quarterback From Stamford Leads Slashing Attack That Stuns and Demoralizes Fisher's Team. Cambridge. Nov. 8 (By The Associated Press.) Princeton camo back to one of the greatest moment of gridiron glory she has ever known today and under a crimson sky sent Harvard down to the most crushing defeat in the forty-seven years tif rivalry between these two ancient foes. Out of the depths of mediocrity and disappointment tin Tigers ejeven figliling, Irresistible Jungicmen rose to height of astonishing brilliancy to overwhelm Harvard by a scire of 34 to 0 In one of the most sensational upset football annuls have ever recorded.

Jnht 1 1 mil tn Bunked around the side of (he Harvard Stadium a vast crowd of had come in expectation of a Hnrvard victory, for the Crimen ruled a decided pre-game favorite, but Instead It was thrown into a freray by a comeback as spectacular as It wss startling and effective, instead of seeing the vaunted power of Harvard' attack moving through a Tiger array that had shown littln early season promlne, the throng saw the Crimson, after a brief stand for one period, ifunned, then demoralise! and beaten back by an Orange an 1 Black avalanche. ATter the first period, when Harvard's stubborn defense twlc thrust barak Tiger drives, the Crimson had nothing capabla of checking this fierce antagonist who lashfd cut wllh stunning power on nil sides and with the swiftness of lightning. Touchdowns In the second and third periods and two In the fourtli. Intermingled with field goal in the second and fourth periods, representrd the toll ot the damage don by tho Tlgeri. llrfcat tlepomrs Itout.

It became a rout the shadows crept over the giant amphitheater, a continual sweep of streaking orange and black Jersey over the chilk Ilnea. And when the final whistle blew Princeton's cohorts, already whipped to a frenxied pitch, swept down on thn gridiron In a wild outburst of enthusiasm. Around the field the wildly excited mob surged, marching behind a buffeted Princeton band, nnd all but uprooted the Crlnnon goal post that during tha afternoon had seemcj nn Irresistible mnunet to Tiger ball carriers. Over the dtretch Of years since Harvard and Princeton began their rivalry In 1877 no victory has been recorded a deceive as that Of today. Only twice before has a score rivaling today's Tlerer total been run up, and on each of these occasions, whey Princeton also was triumphant th margin of victory was not so great.

In 1884 Princeton won 31 to 5, wlill" five years later tho Tigers scored 41 to 15. Princeton now has a margin of fifteen victories to nine for Harvard, while three ties have figured in the twenty-seven clashes be-' tween tlietn. From Oliaenrlty to Fame, Out of obscurity a new Tiger here came Into the fray this afternoon dominate a triumph that has few gridiron parallels. This vital spsrk In the Princeton dynamo waj Ted Williams. 21-year-old quarterback, Stamford, a product of Mer-5 cershurg Academy.

Coming Into the fray early In tho second period, when Conch Bill ttopcr switched to his lightweight backfield, Williams was a flashing figure in the victorious Tier drive that marked the remainder of the game. Scorlnsr two touchdowns himself, Williams was the outstanding star of a slashing offensive. Ho had sblc support In the briillnnt broken field runs (it Jnke SliuK the ramming line drives of Caldwell and Weekes and the knlf-like thrusts of Dignnn and nilllgan behind a line that consistent ly outchsrired the Crimson forwards. Tigers scrm inspired. It wns a great moment for Williams when he left the game toward the close after piloting his team to an Invincible lead, A year ago this youngster, playing his first game sgalnst Harvard, came close to turn ing the tide of Tiger defeat when, Injected a few minutes before the final whistle, be tore off a 80-yard run.

That day, however, his opportun ity came too late and Harvard won, but this Bfternoor) he camn Into his own. Handed the Inspired drlvlmr power that seemed to, come to life In the Tigers after a long period of. dormancy, Williams got the most out of It In a manner that stamped him as one of Princeton's greatest gridiron generals. Princeton had everything today. Outclassing Harvard in every depart ment of play, the Tiger showed no resemblance to the Indifferent squad over which Notre Dame ran roughshod two weeks ago.

In fact, seem ed that Princeton took a leaf from the Notre Dame book of strategy and did to Harvard what the Boosters had done to them. Their attack Dassllngv Where the Tigers had shown no of fensive effectiveness before they were Irresistible today, a plunging, dynamic force. Where little defense had been epotty it became Impregnable. Where they had shown little versatility they uncovered a drizzling assortment of plays, and tha fighting spirit which had stood alone as the team's main characteristic was lost the smooth perfection of their play. Harvard had nothing to cop with this unlocked for power.

The Crimson, perhaps, was overconfident, for it nnd been plmost unanimous favorlt to win, bui it had not defense nor fe IARFAR0 34 TO BE CUT FROM COST OF Operating Expenses in Fiscal Year Beginning July 1 Possibly to Fall Below 3 Billions. ESTIMATES PREPARED BY BUDGET BUREAU Gen. Lord Soon to Discuss With Coolidge Anticipated Appropriation of $2,980,000,000. i Washington, Nov. The coat of running- the federal government in the fiscal year beginning next July 1 may fall below three billion doi-ars half billion dollars less than the estimated expenditures for the current fiscal year, On the basis of estimates prepared 5y the budget bureau and on which its conferences with the spending departments of the government practically have been completed, the anticipated appropriation for the year beginning next July 1 stood tonight at 2,980,000,009, exclusive of the post office department, the receipts of which are expected to balance the expenses.

Budget Changes to be Small. Officials of the budget still have work to do on the budget of 13H6. which will be submitted6 by the President to the forthcoming short session of Congress. But they have gone so thoroughly Into every estimate, great and small, submitted to them by the several branches of the government that they feel any changes to be made hereafter will be in the nature of thousands rather than In millions of dollars. Brigadier General H.

M. Lord, director of the budget, will go over the figures and tabulations with President Coolidge some time next week and after that, it Is expected, the government cost estimates will be ready for the public printer as the next stage In transmission to the President snd' to Congress. Present Income nasi KxpeoOd. On the basis of the figures as they stood tonight the ordinary expenditures are expected to fall below 000.000, exclusive of those by the post office department. This eon-templates retention of the present basis of income, and few in the government anticipate that Congress will have to do anything on tax reduction, since President Coolidge has indicated he will not call the new Congress, just elected, into an extraordinary session.
