A scene % in2iscri liable confusion
aud y&nio followed TIE crash, which
VAS heard In al parts Of the groahds
The occupants were mostly men great
majority ef them students from Yale
ana Princeton. There mere slso many
women in the crowd All lay IN a con-
fused and struggling mass upon The
ground, many CT them beiag coupiete-
ly under the wrecksge Of plsnks and
joists of which the rieksty structure was
bailt Many tainted from the injuries
which they received.
IN ar instant there was agenerAl rush
for that part % the feld. and q score or
more OF biue-oestsd policemen were soon
engaged In pslling the nsimsd and
wounded from the wreck Others lent
their assistance and within ten minutes
the whole place had been cleared.
At first there we're fears that some
might have been killed. but these
proved 10 be unfoanded. A great many
persons, however, were very severely
hurt and broken limbs and bruised
heads and bodies were numerous
Many OF the wounded people were
carried of the grounds. placed in
hacks and taken away before their
names could be learned. In this way q
great many cases were not reported 70
the police. The big dressing room
under the grand stand was rugged up as
a hospital. aud the surgeons Of three
were soon At work.
Among thoss who were treated on the
grC unds and sfterward taken away were:

A dozen or more boys, names not
learned, who stood upon the top row
of tho bleachers. were badly bruised
and cut The only ladies hurt were two
Brooklyn women, one Of whom had her
foot crushed and the other had her leg
bruised. They were FIRST brought
TO the managers oEce near the
main entrance, and were sfterwsrd
taken frcm the ground by friends
Some Of those buried beneath
the wrecksge and taken out uncon-
scious afterward recovered and de-
clined TO be treated -ney went to the
field again and found other places 10
view the game. The lowest estimate
puts the nGm ber Of injured al fifty,
while others place II at sixty or more.
The stand was evidently in a most
unsafe condition, for the broken tim
bers showed that many of them were
rotten, while the whole structure was a
flimsy affair When it began to FIJI up
with spectators the boards were heard
10 crack and strain, and many who
made search for seats gave il
up as dangerous Job. Several
persons stationed themselves near the
entrance Of the stand before the accident
occurred and warned people not TO 20
up, as IL was unsafe. Every one claimed
that a very superficial examination OF
the structure weuld have shown that il
was utterly insufficient TO support the
crowd which would occupy it.
The game resulted in a victory for
Yale By a scere 81 80 20 O.
