Berins with nm Accident.
A broken wrist and one-sided score put ar
end to the llr,;t game OF tho intercollegiate
Football Associations cham ionship series OF
Manhattan Field yesterday afternoon. wher
only 80 minutes OF the second half had beer
occupied. The opposing teams were the
| Princeton and Wesleyan olcvens. the score
| was 10 to o In Princetons favor. and the p!ayol
whose wrist was snapped was Howard. who
payed at left tackle on tho Wesleyan team
There was n crowd Of about 5000 persons on
tho grounds. the majority being lined ur
| alongside the ropes stretched around the field
OF play. Only few occupied the grand stand,
and these were largely parties In which there

Tho accident to Howard happened in a
| scrimmage. Flint, the Princeton half back.

under his body. and the snap OF tho ulnn. one

was no confusion. and II Wesleyan had had
any chance to win tho gamo would have gone
on but she was greatly overmatched.
To trace the ball in such an uneven contest,
and explain each play. would be embarrassing.
Tho Wesleyan mon were plucky lot. but put

would have recognized the team which met
tho Crescent Athletic Clubs eleven few
weeks ago. The Princeton game has improved
wonderfully. but it Is still crude. and some
hard work will have to DO done to make
tho team strong enough to hold up
its end against Yale on Thanksgiving
Day. Princeton seems better equipped for
a Kicking game than Yale at present.
