He scored three touchdowns, the last with 16 seconds left. The Tigers had to duplicate Yale's great win of 1953 in the final seconds, for the crumbling, fumbling Eli's had surged back to deadlock the issue at 14-14 with less than four minutes remaining. Dick Emery set the stage for the third desperation pass that caught Yale's right secondaries in tne dark.

The pass was caught by Don MacElwee, a sophomore end, on the Yale five. He stumbled and Jim Lopez fell on him on the two. Princeton lined up swiftly. The ball went back to Flippin and, with an All-American leap, he soared over the goal line. PRINCETON Page Forty-eight and toe sent the Rams to their fifth defeat of the dwindling Autumn.
