PHILADELPH1A, Pa, Nov. S.-The champion
ship football season was opened in this CITY to-
day by game between teams representing
Princeton and University of Pennsylvania, the
former winning by score of to after very
exciting game Over six thousand people were
present, and they saw the closest game ever
played on the University grounds. The
teams struggled nearly forty minutes
without scoring, and just two minutes
before time was called for the first half a touch
down by Riggs and goal kicked by Poe netted
Princeton six points. University started in at
once to try and overcome this lead, and by des-
perate play got the ball within few feet of the
line, and would have easily scored a touch
down when the referee, Mr.. Woodruff, of Yale,
called time, and their opportunity for posi-
bly, equaling Princeton's score was thus spoiled
The second half was remarkable for the
number of injuries received Heselman, of
the University, had an arm broken and Sypher
took his place. During hot ''slugging natch''
Capt. Poe was struck on the nose, that organ
being broken, and he was obliged to retire
from the field with badly injured face. Sew
eral other players were hurt. Neither side
scored in the last half, and the game ended
with the score to 0 in favor of Princeton.

season OF the year and our clubs are up in arms
fighting over the game. Georgetown College
seems to have about the best team here Just
at present. with the Columbia Athletics right
at their heels, while the Kendals, of the Deaf
and Dumb University, are also good On
tuesday Georgetown and Kendall will play at
Capitol Park the first game for the cham
pionship of the District. The famous team of
Yale College may play here the last part of the
present month.
On Thursday next the Georgetown eleven
will visit the High School of Virginia to play
the team of that school. There have been few
changes in the Georgetown team lately which
Capt O'Donnell thinks will strengthen the
playing ability materially. Fleming will here
after play full back, Isaac Dyer and Henchey
place on the team Kaufman, on account of
injuries, will retire.
The second eleven OF Georgetown embraces
some splendid foot-ballists, and they are already
giving good accounts of themselves They de-
teated the High School of Virginia on Tuesday
and are anxious to try conclusions with any
team In the District outside of the Kendalls or
