COULD NOT OVERCOME HER RIVALS SWIFT
RUNNING AND LONG KIcKING-THE SCORE
WAS 10 TO o-THE CHAMPION
SHIP SETTLED
1t was currently reported at the Polo Grounds
yesterday afternoon about O'clock that DR..
Timothy Dwight president Of Yale, put ON an en-
tire suit of blue wrote another chapter for his
latest work on Mascotism,n figured up the in
crease of students at Yale next year consequent
on lales great victory over the Princeton football
team and then autographed TO Captain Corbin, of
the Yale team, follows: "Omnia Princetonia
Givisa est in tres parties. Novus lber de mas
cotSme. Pax vobiscum" Literary translated
this means: Princeton is all broken up. l shall
write another book on mascotism. There is nothing
.he matter with our football team of Sss."
Certainly there is nothing the matter with the
Tale football team. Certainly there is nothing the
natter With Yale athletes. and certainly Yale's
mascot and her sensible faculty are all right"
The eleven tough, hardy, spry, brany, cool
roung men who beat Princeton yesterday at foot
ball did it in a way that covers them with glory,
reflects credit their glorious old college and also
proved that the eleven manly athletes from the
right, tight, sandy" college in New-Jersey were
beaten simply because Yale played a better game.
Years may come and so, but each year, judging
from past results, Will find Yale with better
team than Hard work won the game for
Yale by score of 10 TO 0; that is the secret of
Nale's success aided by the sensible course of her
faculty. Hard work did much for Princeton, but
superior generalship on the part of Yale, supple
mented by Bulls magnificent drives and drop
kicks. did much to win the day. Bull made two
drop-lcks from the field in each three
quarters OF the game.
NO LACK OF EXCITEMENT.
II was however, an exciting game. The ball
went from one end of the field to the other for
thirty-fve minutes before Yale scored and II was
the same in the last tbree-quarterS before Yale
made her final points Once Cowan crossed
Yale's line, but it was decided that foul had
been made previous to his play and the point
did not count. Again and again Princeton
cQualled Yale in forcing the ball to her opponents
line, but Bull was there; Bull kicked and Bull
saved the game, and ultimately made the winning
points for his side. There no luck it
science. There was plenty of pluck to- but even
if the Princeton men were all sandists@ they
must admit that they were outeeneralled Their
little unfair playing, a gratifying decrease
of sluggng,7 and it might be called the most
scientific game seen here for years -Four pros
pective ministers played the Prime ton team
and three on the Yale team Counting on a pre-
ponderance in theology however, seems 10 have

gatonalists rather put their clerical brethren in
the soup" Bull is not going to be a minister,
but it is safe to say that if he ever runs for
President with his friend Deacon WIZ Corbin,
every Yale man will see Bull through. for the way
he put Yale through PrincetOn's lines If Har-
ward should meet Yale. the result Will not he al
tered and Yale will be champion Of the Inter
collegiate Football Association OF 1883.
The day dawned rather unpromisingly, but
Q o'clock drew near the sun smiled cheerfully,
and then lodging behind clouds
as if he had got black eye
at football, and did not want TO cast any refec-
tons on the great game But it was light enough
for all to see the game: all that wanted
a little warmth. for there were thousands of IL
GER men and pretty girls who shivered in the
chill November air But that came later in the
day. From noon until the hour of the game a
long line of coaches, taIlyhOs, drags, vehicles of
all kinds streams Of students, graduates, old and
young, laymen, and RATS" of pretty girls, rolled
up Ffth-ave. in their convevances, or streamed
up the by-ways, or damned the elevated railroad
cars, all going TO the game.
AN ENORMOUS CROWD PRESENT.
Yale and Princeton coaches started from the
hotels, covered with blue, orange and black,
packed with excited young men, who waved big
banners, footed horns and woke up the town with
their Rah rah! rahl Yale" or 1lurrah! hur-
ran hurrah Princeton! Tiger! Siss boom ah.7
and the broad avenue was a panorama Of gayly
revolving colors and a pandemonium of sounds
as the procession rolled Houses were deco
rated, and pretty faces smiled along the way.
But the Polo Grounds themselves were a Mecca
for enthusiasm, crowds coOrs, cheers and pretty
girls. and all were there at o'clock From
10000 10 H. 600 people were in the grounds.
Even the space for reporters was crowded. so
many amateur journalists certainly never i'll

western sides Of the field were bllow Of coaches,
whose occupants sent up spray Of cOlors as went

The grand-stand was packed, and so many pretty
