BERKELEY OVAL, MonRIs DOCK, n. Y, Nov.
2S.-Berkeley Oval never before witnessed such
q sight aS was presented this afternoon half All
hour before the commencement of the great
Yale and Princeton Thanksgiving football
game. More than 20, 900 people were gathered
within the big inclosurG aud the crowds lined
the teld on every ride.
Upon the south gide were the grand stands
which provided accommodations for not more
than .. 600 people, Fully 10, 900 were packed
cofely upon the little side hill that rises like All
amphithcatrc at the west side of the grounds.
The coaches and carriages Of the students and
their friends were drawn uD on the north side,
filling o srAcc Of nearly six hundred feet.
On all sides were bright flags and banners Of
vare gated co!ors. The cole egians had congre-
gated in force at tho Forth side Of the field,
wher tho coaches we're. and kept up a continual
yelling. cheering and footing Of tin horns.
The field WAS in about as bad condition As it
possibly could b..
The mud was two inches thick in every place
and as slippery az Creased floor.
NGar the west end of the field right in front
OF the goal posts, was a small lake where the
water was standing three inches deep.
Another pool was at the east centre Of the
field and tile ground was all cut mp by the game
which had been lay od in the morning.
Workmen were busy for an hour before the
gam. began in bringing wheelbarrow loads of
sawdust and spreading il over the worst places.
1t did not improve it much, but it made it less
slippery FOR the time being.
THE TEAMS APPEAR.
The two teams came II the field at .. 10. The
whole multitude let ont its lungs in the most
vigorous fashion.
The yelling was kept up for fully five minutes
without break while the players had an op
DOrtuuity to do n little DruCtising
The only accommodations provided for the
newspaper men were two long planks spread
upon the mud at the north side of the field.
The police arrangements at the grounds were
under the charge OF Inspector Conip. who was
assisted by Capt Washburne. They had i5O
policemen under them. Az the crowd was
most orderly one they had little TO do but watch
the game.
HARVARD WELL. REPREsESTED.
There were hundreds OF Harvard men present
and it was observed that they all choered for
Yale.
DESPERATE RUSH.
The game opened with 4 desperate rush by
Cowan, which gained several yards for Prince
ton. and the yells which greeted it showed that
the yellow and black had goodly host OF sup
portnrs present
1t was Princetons ball for several minutes
after the opening and the yellow legs made
ROOU use ol lts IOEClue VIC hkHlluB wen up INTO
YGles territory.
Then there WAS a rush back and Yale got
! the ball. ScrimmaRe after scrimma ge followed
| until the players were smeared with dirt
rolling about in the muddy slime that it was al
most impossible for the average spectator to tell
| bue-stockinGed Yale man from his striped
| rival from New Jersey.
| Gill. WurtemberR, Cowan and JaneWAy
seemed to be everywhere and now and then tht
snaky little Ames, the pride OF Princeton,
would rush in aud try a kick al the ball.
EETuRs KICKS.
| kick by Mcbride sent il to Ames, who re.
turned it like a flash.
II fell within ten feet of Yalos goal line and
the friends of Princeton went wild with Joy,
We've got Yale beaten, they yelled,
SOMEWHAT Previous
| They were little too previous. however, foi
there was a foot somewhere, aud the ball went
back 10 tue centre OF rhc field again.
Up TO this point. however, there had beer
very little kicking, and the efforts of both tcam'
! =, emed 10 be to make what ground they coult
| by rushing.
TOWARDS PRINCETON.
After the first fifteen minutes the ball wa,
forced into Princrtons territory, slthough uo
very far. Then it was that the Yale crowd go

opportuuity
Cheer after cheer greeted the successful oppo
