 Football Game Ever Played i'm this
 COuntry-ThS Harvard Faculty Back
 Down-The Praise Service at BalteII
 Chapel.
 About five thousand people gathered at the Polo grounds in New York Saturday after noon to sse the football game between the Yale and Princeton teams. Five hundred undergraduates went down from New Haven aud about the same number represented Princeton. Beside these the crowd was about evenly divided between the supporters of the blue and the orange and black. On the grand
 stand were many ladies who were mostly ad- mirers of Yale, wearing her colors and joining in the rRh rah rahs which greeted the fine plays. As the teams came on the field it was noticeable that the New Haveners were heavier than their opponents and as the game went on they proved that weight could be combined with skill. They wore the tradi- tionl canvas jackets, which it is said have not been washed in four years and in this re- speet contrasted not very favorably with the Princeton team. Terry kicked of the ball for Yale and Knapp got possession of it. A
 fine run by Twombly carried it to the twen- ty-fve yard line and Richards tried for goa1 from the field, but failed. Almost immedi- Rtsly after tumble on the part of Princeton gave the bali to Peters, who made the touch down from which Richards kicked zeal within eight minutes from the kick of, amid the widest enthusiasm of the spectators. Yale l seemed to have the complete advantage and her supporters were jubilant, but this was the only point scored in the game. The
 bail was kicked of to Terry, who muffed it,
 and immediately the play was transferred to Yaie's half of the field Here it remained
 Moffat kicking for it three times and each time barely failing. By dint of skillful
 rushing and short runs the Yale team grad ually worked it away. and when time was called it was within Princeton'g ten yard line. The Yale team had been ordered by the captain not to play a rough game, and
 their playing was noticeably fair, not man being warned for fungentlemsnly play,'' whlie Princeton on the other hand were F'brutal'' to such an extent that they were several times hisged by their own supporters. Harlan, the giant Of their team, being angry at Twombly for preventing his unfair play, hit him heavy blow under the eye, cutting the cheek and causing the eye to swell so as to prevent it's use for several days. In the second half the ball was on Princetons side of the field most of the time, but Yale was unable to gain a pOlut. Ill A1cAlnB MOuat, or TrlncSGon, ex- celled all others on the field and his men
 broke through remarkably well, but
 in running, rushing, tackling and lodging
 Yale was vastly superior Knowing this
 Yale played game of short runs
 and rushe and did not often try to kick.
 Peters and Farwell won applause for fine
 running and tackling, Richards for long and
 accurate bunting. Twombly, however, was
 the best player in the field and undoubtedly
 won the game for Yale. He seemed to bs a
 mark for the Princeton men, who knocked him down and fell on him several times with
 out 8 shadow of excuse. He pluckily kept
 on playing and several times saved the ball at critical moments. When the game ended the
 score stood one goal or six points to noth- ing in favor of Yale. The cheering which followed lasted fully five minutes
 The Harvard faculty have backed down and consented to allow their team to play Yale on Thanksgiving day, provided the ref eree may be allowed to disqualify man
 without warning. Yale has accepted the
 terms and the game will come of. Mr. Peace,
 captain of last years Princeton team, will be the referee.
 Every seat in Battell chapel vas filled last evening within ten minutes after the opeaing l of the doors and many persons were obliged 1 to stand during the entire service. The } Thanksgiving praise service was one of the
