Points to Nothing.

NEW YORK, Noy. 2S.-Ten thousand peO-
pie yelled themselves hoarse when the
Princeton foot ball club scored their first
touchdown in their great game with the
Yales, on the grounds of the Berkley oval
today, and they cheered again when this
touchdown resulted in goal, and when
the Princetons. before the game closed,
secured another touchdown these people
simply went wild with enthusiasm. There
were also about fifteen thousand people on
the field who did not applaud these incl
dents. They were the supporters Of Yale.
and they were in the majority by nearly
FIVE thousand. 1t was with a feel
ing of bitter disappointment that
they saw their favorite team beaten by
Princeton by ten points to nothing in the
final ana most eventful foot ball game of
the year.
AT least 5000 persons applied for admis-
sion to the grounds between IL and 1890
o'clock, and many of them had to be turn
ed away.
AS the men faced each other they ap-
peared TO be pretty evenly matched.
Princeton had the strongest rush line, but
before the game was very old they lost
one Of their best men, George. who
had his knee cap broken, and the
tendons of his ankle broken. Rhodes. OF
Yale was ruled off for foul teckling.
These injuries were received during the
first half of the game, when the play was
very fierce.
Both sides played in excellent form, and
the blunders and errors were very few. 1t
wsS nip and tuck ali the way through, and
when time was called neither side had Sc
cured point. Princeton eXcelled in the
rush, while Yale was superior at the tackle
and kick.
The first of the second half Of the play
ing was about even, though Princeton
showed upin better form after the strug-
gle of the first half After that Princeton
outplayed the Yale men at every point.
Yale seemed nervous, and at one time
when the ball was ia her territory three
fumbles proved very disastrous. Princeton
WAS playing magnificently steady and
strong game. Finally the ball got into
Yale's territory; two Yale men fumbled it,
Ames kicked it over the line; another Yale
man fumbled it. Warren and Donnelly fell
on it, giving Princeton four points. A
goal was kicked by Ames. making two
more, six in all to Yale's nothing
Both teams then turned up again with
new life. Mcbride tried for goal from the
field, but failed. 1t seemed as though the
game was all over, but the shouting Yale
were desperate The ball was well down
gan to move out upon the raid. The ball
was then rushed up in Princeton's terri
tory; Ames sent it back to the Yale end;
it was then sent back TO the center again;
it went out of bounds. and Yale got it:
Princeton WAS fighting as she never fought
before. The ball was rushed to Yale's end
of the field. Cowan scored touchdown.
Time was then called. The final score
WAS: Yale 0, Princeton 10.
THE NEWS AT PRINCETON.
PRINCETON, N. j., Nov. 2S.-Today has
been the quietest since the opening OF the
college. Few students remained here and
those that did spent day of restlessness
They were anxious only for time to fly and
bring them news of victory. They were
relieved of their anxiety early tonight
when the final score was received, and they
at once proceeded to celebrate the victory
in due and ancient form. The work of
collecting combustible material for
building fire, which usually de-
wolves upon the freshmen, was
joined by sophomores, juniors. SEN
Tors and whatever Other students may
have remained in the town. Around the
blazing fire on the campus all gathered,
and when the sounds were heard of the
bell ringing in the tower Of old Nashua
hall, more enthusiastic cheers were sent
up than have been heard here since the
football victory Of 1886.
