New York, Nov 27.-Poor Princeton
The "tigers' " admirers are very sore at
her defeat yesterday by the score of 10
TO 0 in the great championship game
with Yale, but force a dsconsolate
smile now and then, and fesbly murmur:
"Look out for us next year. Yale
deserved her triumph, won it fairly aud
wears it modestly. Her team was per
feet in action, her interference treat
to enjoy, her tackling forceful and
effective.
Football has become a remarkable in
stitution in this town. That it is a |
great attraction for at least one day in |
the year may be believed when it is OBJ |
served that elderly and stuid mon and |
women sat on damp and rough boards |
from 10 clock in the morning till 2 |
o'clock in the afternoon in order to see
the beginning Of the game.
The gates We're not open till 10
o'clock, but by that time great crowds
OF persons had gathered about the diff !
ferent entrances. By II o'clock a great
crowd had gathered in the grounds and
eve moment it was augmented by
fresh arrivals. BY noon all the free
seats were occupied and the grand tanI |
had become fairly we'll filled. A half !
hour later 70 eyau TO rain but the peo-
pie kept coming just as fast as ever. By
1870 every available space about the field
was occupied.
The sight in the stand was pretty in
extreme. ON every hand were the
waving colors of different colleges and
these, added to the brilliant costumes Of
the women, made a bright and aniamt
ing picture.
There were fully 1000 persons pres
ent when tho Yale team, at o'clock |
filed out Of the club house and came
onto the field. They were followed im-
mediately by the black and orange
etriped young men of Princeton. A
wild deluge Of shouting and blowing of
horns and waving Of flags occurred a
minute later when the two teams lined
up in the middle of the gridiron.
Then AS each man bent forward with
his hands on his knees and gazed hard at
his opposite, the noise suddenly stopped,
and every one of those more than 81
600 wild men and women was as still as
statue, and every one of those eyes
was focused on one little spot where
the ball was. The game was about to
begin. The teams lined as follows;

Then the game began. Princeton won
the toss and tried the ancient ''V'' trick
with slim success. Nale's center seemed
invunerabIe. Helfelhuger, Sanford and
Morrison we're a trio Of giants tnat
could not be moved. Then Princeton
changed tactics She depended upon
Houans' great puuting ability, and
time and again when the boys from
Nassau were in the very jaws Of defeat
his brilliant work would put the team
out of danger and relegata the battle to
Nale's field
1t was something new to Yale. She
might shatter the center of Princeton,
and daring McClung and the agile Bliss
might make their famous end rushes
with success. but every time the danger
seemed most imminent HOmans
was on hand. The rushers too backed
him superbly, and i'm this was displaye
the only real team work of Princeton.
When he punted they were right with
the ball. making recovery Of ground by
the blue legged boys impossible.
For half an hour the battle wage I'd

were silent Her substitutes on the

gest kind Of a condition Their theory
of what Princeton was to do was sadly
at fault, Fifteen minutes only re

as far from scoring as ever. McCluna
was becoming desperate. He lined his
men up and they set TO work with grim
determination.
They apparently went In to wipe NJ

from Princeton. They ran brilliantly,
employed all the art Of masters Of the
game, fought and struggled AS they
never before were called upon to do
Back. they would drive the striped
stocking athletes, back to the very

hand, and with phenomenal kick
would send tile ball to center again.
Faster and faster they hew-too fast
