PRINCETON, November 2S.-Very few
students attended recItations to-day and
any that were held were very short on
that account. About 100 returned on the
owl last night, and if they had not joyous
time, they had a jolly one. This evening
about one-third of all have returned. All
look upon yesterdays game, and its re-
suits, as a kind of huge joke Instead of
crying over their defeat, they laugh at it
and admire the Yale players, especially
McClung. Never before has de eat been
met in the same spirit and because the de-
feat was complete. Had the game been a
very close one, and lost by accident, the
grief would have been much greater.

The students acknowledge that their
team is entirely overmatched. All agree
that Yale would have won easily from
Harvard mad she played anything like as
perfect game as she did yesterday Among
the students Poe is spoken of as the great
est and best captain and player Princeton
ever had. 'He tackled like demon; like
q fieud," are the words on every tongue.
And now he is regarded more as hero and
loved more by the college than when he led
his men to victory last year. He had no
opportunity TO use any OF his tricks and
could not play his backs to ary purpose
owing to the weakness of the rush line.
Already the question of the next captain
has come up, and who it will be no one
knows. Poe, it is thought, will take post
graduate course. possibly in public law, and
if he would allow it there is nothing more
certain than that the voice of the college
would

English oilliardists are speculating whether
any expert will beat the marvellous record runs
made by w. ]. Peall in his victory over c. Daw-
son in their $4,000 point ''spot" match at tho
Royal Aquarium recently. Peall conceded Daw-
son 1900 points to begin with, and knocked his
chances to flinders with astonishing ease. The
thing that makes the Englishnen marvel was
break of S.SOI points, on which Pesll kept his
cue going for hours and 40 minutes oD a

has scored at a swifter rate, once winning a
l,OO0-po1nt match in 81 minutes.
