New YORK, November 2S.-Twenty-
i've thousand people witnessed the foot
ball game on the grounds OF the Berkeley
1val this afternoon, between Yale and
Princeton. OF these, 10. 900 cheered the
very brilliant plays made by Princeton,
while the others supported Yale. 1t was
with feelings OF bitter disappointment
that the latter, who were in the majority
by nearly 5000, saw their favorite beaten
by Princeton by ten points to nothing Ia
the final and most eventful football
game of the year. So great was the
crowd that fully 5000 were
turned away who were unable TO
secure admission. Those who gained
admittence wallowed knee deep in the
mud. The heavy rain Of the previous
day had left it's impress on the grounds
and made them unpleasant for the spec
tators. Mud was no detsiment, however,
for enthusiasm and excitement had
reached the boiling point. Thousands
OF horns were tooted throughout the
game, and all kinds Of unhsrmonious in
etruments capable OF producing noise
were utilized. Hundreds Of vehicles
were brought into the grounds at the
cost of So to IS each, and many Of the
occupants Of these never Witnessed the
least part of the game, so great was the
throng. Girls and women were numer-
Gus, and cbeered Justify at their
male companions. The blue flags
OF Yale were fsunted on every
opportunity or pretext, and in the point
Of numbers they downed the yellow.
The Harvard students were on the
ground in full force, and almost all of
them yelled for Yale and wore blue. The
day had dawned brightly and the
weather was everything th..t could be
desired. At 2 90 o'clock the Yale team
came OH the field and were created with
deafening vclley of shouts and the
footing of tin horns. They Immediately
| began to roll themselves in the mud and
hug the ball. The Princeton boys fol-
lowed their example two minutes LATER
and after the preliminary practice, the
teams took up their positions.

tackling.

and ended with neither side having

that George and McClupg were injured,
and Gill, of Yals, was also badly hurt,
having his right ankle sprsined, but he
reoumed play after a short rest.
The second half OF the game began
with terrific struggle, and the contest
throughout was more better than in the
first. Yale made desperate efforts to
penetrate the Princeton line, with but
poor success. After Princeton had scored
six, both sides lined up again and played
harder than ever.
YALE WAS DESPERATE.
