 NEW YORK, Nov. 29.-The deciding
 game for the intercollegiate football
 championship was played by Prince ton
 and Yale at Berkeley Oval and was won by Princeton. There were 10000 on 1 the grounds, and the greatest excite
 ment prevailed throughout the con test. On all sides were bright flags a nd ban
 ners of variegated colors. The colle-
 gians had congregated in force and kept
 up continual yelling and footing of
 horns.
 The men on coaches had the best of ] 1t. They lined up in long row with
 the Princeton coaches toward the east
 end. The class of 'SS had the prettiest
 coach. rich with orange and black, with
 Ernest Carpenter, the captain of the
 glee club; Peters, the class poet, and
 Jim Hancock, the quarter back of the 'SS team on it. The Ivy Club, which is
 Princeton's swell society, was we'll rep resented.
 Tho Yale men were also we'll equip ped with coaches. Colonel Hanford had ! a coach of his own covered with girls; Colonel Beecher had q drag draped in
 blue, and Billy Bull. the great fullback, Walker Camp, Ray Tompkins and ali 1 tally-hos.
 Professors Osborne and MarQuand, of
 Princeton, showed their interest in the ..3m me by driving up in big siXhorse
 coach laden with ladies. Philadelphia
 sent large contingent of Pennsylva-
 mia sympathizers with many girls and young matrons. The other colleges were all represented. Lehigh sent fifty
 mon who cheered for Princeton, and hundreds of Columbia boys encouraged the Jerseyites by singing song enti-
 tied: "Ames kicked Tratford kicked;
 Ames got the best of it.
 Cheered by the Crowds. Amid a perfect hurricane of cheers
 and bugle blasts the Yale team came upon the field and scarcely had they got into practice when another
 tempest of cheers rent tho air and
 Princeton's proud boys gamboled upon
 the field. There were hundreds of Harvard men present, and it was ob- served that they all cheered for Yale. Brooks of Harvard was the umpire and Saxe of the present Harvard team referee.
 
 The game from It's inception was one of interest. Brilliant plays followed each other in rapid succession and the crowd vented it's admiration in ear splitting yell and shouts.
 The fine plays were not confined to a few mon, as on other occasions it has been the case. Every player did good work, and the few that were disquali- lied for foul work. 1t is fair to assume, forgot themselves il the heat and ex- citement of the game. Those who were unfortunate enough to be taken off the field were Rhodes, of Yale, and Jones, who played center rush for Princeton, in place of George, who injured his ankle in the early part of the game. Princeton won the toss, and had tho ball at the start, beginning the game with the ''V" trick. In the first half Ames made several sensational runs, at one time covering half the length of the field, and requiring the entire Yale team to down him. Cowan, Mcbride, Gill and Heffelfnger also played bril- liantly. The half closed, neither side having scored.
 The Second Half At the commencement of the second half Yale had tho ball and Gill gained
 ten yards with the wedge. Hanson snapped the ball and Nc Bride made thirty-yard punt. Ames caught it and
 was tackled by Stagg and Hartwell. McClung then got a chance at the ball and went at the end for ten yards with three Princeton men on his back. Then followed the hottest kind of playing for fifteen minutes, when Warren sue | ceeded in making touchdown for Princeton, from which Ames kicked
 goal. The score now stood six points to
 nothing for Princeton.
 Both teams when they lined up again
 played with new life. Mcbride t;ied for the goal from the field but failed It seemed as though tho game was all over but the shouting. Still the Yalc 1 mon played desperately, and at one time had the ball we'll into Princetons S territory, but Captain Poe and his mon
 were fighting as they never fought be- fore, and playing all around the New Haven boys. Finally the ball was l rushed to Yale's end of the field and Cowan scored a touchdown just before
 time was called. The final score was Princeton 10, Yale 0.
