tion of bunting. It was the best game of this sort since '99 when Bull astonished the spectators with his great bunting. The kicks of Romans, which were really the features of Princeton's playing, always counted, and time and again, when Yale had rushed the ball down near Princeton's goal, forced the Yale men to go back and do it all over again. Hinckey, Mccormick and McClung played great ball, but San ford was weak at center, and time and again Princeton made gains because of him. Off-side plays were made by Prince ton continually. The scheme was to tackle the Yale man before he could get started and make long even at the penalty of the referee giving Yale five yards. Princeton chooses the west end of the field on the toss and led off with the V which advanced them five yards when they came in contact with Hefelfnger and suddenly stopped. On three downs, Ho- | mans punted. Yale got the ball and hand ed it to McClung, who made fifteen yards. Bliss ran off the side for ten yards and was called back by the referee. Heffelfnger bucked the center for three yards and then no gains were made so that on the third down Bliss punted the bal, and Romans re- turned it, but with loss of ten yards. And So the ball was kicked back and forth and both sides were in suspense. The Princeton men, however, did not forget their mouths. Yale was quiet and hardly distinguishable from her flags and banners. "Billy'' Rhodes watched the most of the game from within the ropes in Respondent manner, but before it was out he got up and walked sorrowfully away. The half closed 80 much differ ently from what it was expected, and Yale was glum. Neither side scored Vim cent and Warren played at the ends like veterans. Riggs played rough game, but otherwise he was not remarkable. Poe and King played faultlessly as half backs.
 When the teams lined up at 3:15 the sym pathizers of the people of this city felt that something must be done Stagg had conferred with Corbin, and that ought to settle it.
 THE SECOND HALF.
 The men faced each other in a pouring rain. Yale had taken a great pace and Princeton seemed relaxing. The regula- tion V was formed and Yale gained five yards. Yale then rushed the ball steadily towards Princeton's goal. This was the opportunity of the Yale sympathizers who were sitting out in a pelting rain and the cheering resumed it's usual tone and volume. The ball was within a few yards of Princeton's line and Yale was making no gain. Three touch-downs and yet not over the line. For the fourth down Mc- Cormick pushes the ball over and that part of the earth returns to it's original chaos McClung failed to kick goal. Time eleven minutes; score 40.
 The teams line up at the twenty-five yard line. McClung makes a long run to within three yards of the line, his ''fdus Winter makes a touch down. McClung kicks again wide of the goal. Time 5 minutes; score, 80. Again the Yale sym pathizers went back to their primitive state.
 Romans started the ball with punt away to one side, seeming to have lost his nerve. The ball was rushed to Princeton's twenty-five yard line. Mccormick kicked a goal from the field at distance of thirty yards. This was the star play of the game. Score 13-O.
 The ball was taken in the middle of the field and Princeton took brace. Homans began to kick as of old. The ball was car ried down near Yale's goal when Bliss was
 
 field, making touchdown, from which McClung kicked goal More returning to primitive conditions. In few min utes the game was called. Score:
 9ale. ......................... 19 Princeton. .........................
 Soon afterward the excited thousands made mad rush through the rain for trains. A lady fainted, but there was no other mishap. Yale entered the game 8 favorite at 9 to l. At the end of the first half Princeton men offered as good as 6 to 1 that their team would win. Since 1873 there have been number of games un- finished for lack of time, but with the ex- ception of last year, when Yale won 32 to 0, the score made to-day was the largest made since 1873 in any of the Thanksgiv- ing games.
