The Game Saturday for the College
Foot Ball Championship.


The orange and black lowered above the
crimson at Cambridge on Saturday, when the
steady foot ball team from Princeton over
turned the kckers of Harvard by score of Al
to Is. Harvard made plucky fight and in the
first half had things pretty much their own
way, but in the second half the bulldog tenac-
ity and hard training of the Jersey boys began
to tell and they rolled up a score which was
surprise even to their friends.

Ten thousand spectators cheered themselves
hoarse as the two elevens trotted on the field.

advantage, if any, being with Princeton.
DETAILS OF THE GAME.
The New Jersey lads won the toss and started
the game with the old V trick. A few Yards
were gained but three successive downs
quickly gave the ball to Harvard. Crosby,
Haryards little quarter back, secured it on the
bound and after a splendid run made the first
touchdown in four minutes. The goal was
not allowed on account of off side play. Three
minutes later by good rushing and lodging
Claiming carried the ball over Haryard's line
and the score was four-all Princeton's end
and Furness, u much lighter man, took his
was nip and tuck. Trafford kicked
a goal from the field for Harvard. Princeton
managed by short rushes to gain another
touchdown and goal and Harvard through
splendid work by Trafford and Lee, secured six
points more by means of a touchdown and
goal. At the latter end of the half another
Princeton rusher, Riggs, was ordered from the
field and Jones took his place. The half ended
with the score Is to 10 in favor of the Crimson.
Things looked very rosy for the Cambridge
boys. Princeton had lost two of their best
rushers, and the betting changed from to
on Princeton to to Oh Harvard
THE SECOND HALF.
At the very beginning Of the second half,
however it was seen that Harvard had shot
her bolt Her rush line had weakened, while
Princeton's was getting stronger and stronger
Ames and Charming went through Harvard's
line as they pleased and the short persistent
PUSHES of President Patton's pets carried the
ball time after time across the Harvard line.
Touch-downs in their half were made for
Princeton by Ames, Cowan, Poe and Cash.
Harvard was unable to get the ball outside of
their territory and the game ended amid per-
feet pandemonium Of 'rahs The final score was
Al to Is in Princeton's favor and her stay-at-
home sons made the old town of Princeton
lurid with their celebration in the evening.
The final game for the college championship
takes place between Princeton and Yale on
day at the Berkeley oval in New
York.
