FOOTBALL.
Yale IL All Rlght-Cornell Defeated 70
TO O-Poor Showing by Harvard.
Every season, whether it is football, base
ball, or anything pertaining to athletics. the
hue and cry is raised at Yale that Its repre-
sentatives are doing poorly and will have no
show to win when the contests between the
colleges take place. 1t has been proven time
and again that this was done only for effect.
The football season ia here, and we hear the
same cry about the football team. It has
been said that the team would not even come
in second, and that Princeton and Harvard
would both beat her out in the race for the
championship.
There is every reason to believe that this
is the case now, and that the Yale team, in
stead of being weak IS the report has been
sent out from the college Gays, is as strong az
ever, and when the championship season
opens will make Harvard and Princeton take
back seat as usual.
At Ithaca, on Saturday, Yale took her re-
venge for Cornell's recent scoring against
her, and piled up seventy to Cornells moth
ing. 1t was great day for Ithaca and vi
cinity, for everyone was eager to see the men
wearing the weinspiring "Y," whose Prov
ess excites wonder everywhere. Over 900
spectators were upon the campus long before
the game was called, and it was an impatient
throng. applauding good plays on either
side.
The game was exceedingly rough, Yale
playing her hardest, for practice, they said.
Cornell alone suffered from this hard play,
three men being disabled. The Yale men
used their fists frequently, and Mcbride
slugged unreasonably. The men in blue
played very rapid game, strong in every
point except passing, apd they completely
overpowered Cornell's rush line. Their
guarding was beautiful, McClung missed four
goals, but the punting was strong. Cornell
made gallant fight, but could not stand up
Yale. NOR could they hold the "gridiron"
rush. Capt. Upton of the Cornell team,
kicked at every decision of the referee, and
was Kissed several times.
Excitement at Princeton.
PRINCETON, Nov. 10.-Great excitement
has been occasionally here by the announce
ment that a circular has been received from
Harvard's football captain protesting against
fifteen OF Princeton's football players, incud-
ing Cook, who has not been seen on the ath-
letic ground this season. The entire team Is
objected to, each man on various grounds.
It seems that Harvard desires to compel
Princeton to withdraw from the Inter-Colle-
giate association, so that Harvard may be
able to get second place in the league race.
As q result of this ridiculous protest the foot
ball management held q meeting last even
ing, at the conclusion of which Captain Poe
gave letter to press correspondents.
it he states that at the meeting of the Gradu-
and uucereloneousIy thrust through. and every
attempt OF Pfinceton's representative to express
his opinion was met with the grossest insult and
house, and resolutions were passed. Let 1t be un-
derstood, however, that Princeton not opposed

did object to them at the time Of their passage,
to change the constitution In the middle Of the
championship season, whereby team might be

nation Of teams to totally disable a dangerous ad-

buttons that were passed. Princeton withdrew from
the meeting After due consideration she decided
not to attempt to play WaEenhurst because of SEN
timent Of her own alumni and further. she decided
as she did not recognize the constituonality Of the
resolutions that were passed November 4, not to
protest any man on an opposing team. The last de-
