gaily trimmed with either the blue of Yale or the orange and black of Princeton. They were crowded with students who waved flags, cheered and sang college songs, both before the game as well as during it's progress. Some sixty hacks and private carriages were also on the ground, and many of them con- tained ladies. Some ten thousand specta- tors would probably have been present if the weather had been more favorable.
 The Yale team were the favorites and had the strongest team. They outplayed their opponents at every point, but the grounds and the ball were so slippery that scientific game could not be played.
 The Yale team were the first to put in an appearance, and they were greeted with loud and prolonged cheers. The Princeton team immediately followed, and they also were warmly received

 Immediately after s'time'' was called Cap tain Watson challenged Princeton to play for an hour longer. This was refused. Prince ton was then challenged to play at any time or place, and this was also declined.
 The president of the Yale University foot ball team publishes the following challenge |:
 The Yale Univereity Football Team hereby chal- lenges the Princeton University Football Team to play match game the Polo Grounds to-day or to- morrow morning; or on the first pleasant and con York the time and place. within these limitations, to be chosen by Princeton.
 Princeton won the toss and chose the west goal with the wind in her favor, while Yale had both the wind and the snow in their faces. Play began at half-past 2, and Camp kicked off for Yale. The ball was quickly returned by a Princeton man. Camp soon got the ball and sent it back: it was returned again and the Yale men were pressed so hard that they made safety touchdown. Camp kicked the ball out, but within five minutes Yale made another touchdown for safety The ball then advanced towards Princeton s goal kick from Princeton sent 1t back in- to Camps hands. He made brilliant run, amid the cheering of the Yale men, pushing the Princeton men right and left when they tried to stop him. He was finally collared, but succeeded in passing the ball to Badger. He made a short run and got the ball to the center of the field. The players now had hot scrimmage at this point on the grounds. The ball was finally kicked out on to Princeton's ground. The Yale men followed 1t up we'll and Princeton was forced to make touchdown. Some hard work was now done before Princeton's goal, and Princeton again had to make safety touchdown The ball was kicked off, but Watson sent it back. The Yale men worked for all they were worth. Harlan finally seized the ball and Princeton made third safety. Harlan now kicked off, some hard fighting en- sued and again the ball went so near to Prince tons goal that a fourth safety was made by the orange and black team. Now affairs changed and Yale was threatened with ser1- ous trouble Watson made another touch down for Yale, and few minutes after she was pressed to repeat the deed. Watson got the ball and kicked it up the field, it was caught by Mckee and Princeton was entitled to ''place kick'' The attempt for the goal failed, and soon after the inning closed with the ball on Yale's territory. The second half of the game was called about 3:30. Yale now played for all she was worth and kept the ball near Princeton's goal during most of the inning Princeton saved herself from de- feat by making repeated safety touchdow ms and by slow playing. As the time was ex- piring the excitement became intense and there was continual cheering. Crime" was finally called. Yale had outplayed Prince ton, but the game was draw" The grounds were quickly vacated by the half frozen spectators. In the evening the two teams dined together at Delmonico's.
