Princeton Beats Yale Badly.

New YORK, Nov 2S-About twenty-ti five
thousand persons witnessed the football
games on the grounds of Berkely this alter
noon between Princeton and Yale. OF
these. lO,OOO cheered the very brilliant play
made by Princeton, while the others sup
ported Yale 1t was with feeling of bitter
disappointment that the latter, who were
in the majority by nearly five thousand,
saw their faverites beaten by Princeton by
ten points TO nothing in the final and most
eventful football game OF the year. 80
great was the crowd that July 0,OOO per
| sons were turned away who were unable
secure admission. Those who gained en-
trance wallowed knee deep in mud. The
heavy rain of the previous day had left its
| impress on the grounds and made them I'M
pleasant for spectators. The mud was no
| detrimeut, however, for the enthusiasm
and excitement had reached the boiling
point. A thousand horns We're footed
throughout the game; hundreds OF vehicles
were brought into the grounds at cost OF
So to s. each, and many OF the
occupants of these never witnessed
the least part of the game, so great was
the throng Girls and wO men were numer-
Gus and cheered as Justify as their male
companions and the blue flags IN the ale
crowd were Haunted at every opportunity
and in point of numbers they doWned
the yellow. Harvard students were on the
ground in full force and almost all OF them
yelled for Yale.
The day had dawned brightly and the
weather was everything that could be
desired. AT 2:30 o'clock the Yale
team came on the field and was greeted
with a deafening volley of shouts and tin
horns footing. They Immediately began to
roll themselves in the mud with the ball.
| The Princeton boys followed their exam
pie Two minutes later, and after bit OF
| preliminary practice, the teams took up
| their positions for football. Princeton had
the strongest rush. but before the
game was old, their best man,
| George, had his knee cap broken
and the tendons of his ankle broken.
His injury was quite serious and an ambu-
lance was called and he was taken to the
Murray Hill hotel. McClung was so badly
| hurt that he had to leave the field. Rhodes,
of Yale, was ruled off for foul play. Ames,
Princeton's fallback, carried off the laurels
for smart play. The first half of the game
was a desperate struggle, with fortunes
fuctuating, and ended with neither side
having scored anything. 1t was in this
half of the game that George and McClung
were injured, and Gill, of Yale, was also
badly hurt, having his right ankle sprained,
but he resumed play after short rest.
The second half began with terrific
struggle and the contest throughout was
more bitter than in the first half. Yale
made desperate efforts to penetrate Prince
toms line, but with poor success. After
Princeton had scored six, both sides livened
up again and played harder than ever.
Yale was desperate The bail was
well down Yale's field at 4:3O, when
the crowd began to move out on
to the field. The ball was then rushed
in Princetons field. Ames sent it back to
Yale's end. 1t was then sent back to cen
tire again. 1t went out of bounds and Yale
got it. Princeton was fighting as she
never fought before. The ball rushed to
Yale's end of the field and Cowan scored a
touch down. Time was at this time called
| Yale O. Princeton %.
