MLSHArrAs FIELD, N. Y. November 2S.-
The blue floats over the metropolis and
the orange and black is trailing low. Yale
beat Princeton in the great athletic event
Of the year for the football championship
by 10 to 0. Thirty-seven thousand people,
who paid sbout $4,000 admission, wit
messed the contest. and every one got his
moneys worth. It was a magnifcentgame,
and Yale's invincible team had TO do the
hardest plAying of which il was capable.
In the FIRST forty.6ve minutes play
neither side could score, and when the
first half ended with blanks for each side
the Princeton supporters oheered Wildly;
but it was short-lived. for in the second
half Yale went in desperately and won by
sheer weight and force, her older men
standing the racket better that Prince
toms greener hands.
rnE SCENE MOST ANIMATED.
The scene was such as only can be wit
messed at hotly-fought college contest;
lue-and-oranee and black flags hoated
everywhere, and men and women wore the
college colors, while some had almost ep-
tire costumes OF hues resembling the UNI
yersity colors. A number OF tallyhos,
loaded with horn-toOters, drove into the
grounds, and with il all IL was the liyeliest
and most animated spectacle OF
the year. while the blare and noise which
greeted every good play was enough TO
rattle windows blocks away. College cries
and songs were as omnipresent as IRE
pressible. The University OF Pennsyiya-
MIA, Wesleyan University, Trinity, and a
few Harvard men cheered for Yale, while
Rutger's. Swarthmore's, and several Penn
sylyania colleges answered them on the
side OF old Nassau. The grounds were
wet and soggy, and rain fell occasionally.
but the crowd never budged. Brooks, OF
Harvard. was referee, and Coffin, OF Wes-
leyen, umpire.
THE OPTNING.
Play opened with Princeton having the
ball and tor fOrty-fve minutes the sphere
was up and down the field, though IN
Prlnceton's territory most frequently.
McClung, Yale's captain and one OF her
backs, made some fine, daring rushes, but
hard tackles bY the Princeton men, es.
pecially Vincent, q new man who played
magnifcently, cut short some OF these;
Bliss and Mccormick also made good1
runs. But between these runs would
como failures, on which Princeton would
gain the ball Flint and Poe did the run
nlng for Princeton, bat old Nassau's Teli-
ance in hard stfaigbts was Full-Back
Homans. lie knew his business, and each
time made fine punts that sent the BAL
twenty-five TO fifty yards down the held,
from which Yale would have TO work II
back. Big Hefelfnger tried rushing tor
Yale. but Riggs held him in. Mccormick
punted for Yale, but was not Homans
equal, and moreover fumbled several times
and got no opportunity 70 kick on otner
occasions. In this way the first half went
goose-eCgs to each side.
PRINCETON ovRBcoNFIDEgr.
Princeton was overconfdent when the
second half began and Yale desperate.
The latter formed with big Hefethnger IN
front, and with mighty rushes pierced
Princetons centre steadily, and with on
slaughts on the rush line made O touch
down, scoring four, the goal being missed.
After the ball again got IN play at Prince
TOMS twenty-fve-yard line McClung made
q run past Princeton's right end to the
three-yard line, and quickly another
touchdown is forced. Homans Is again
punting, but the wet field and ball pre-
vents his doing good work.
SURPRISE.
One of the surprises of the game comes
next when the ball is snapped back 70 Me-
Cormick by Yale and ne. from the thirty
ward line, adds 5 to the score, making 1t Is
bv kieking goal from field. Princeton
made fine rally, but the bail finally went
To Yale. It was passed back to Bliss and
he made the star play Of the game. Hef-
felfnger ran by his side and by tine in-
reference and his tremendous strength
kept Flint, Poe, Homans, and King from
the running half back, who went seventy
Yards and scored touchdown, from
which McClung kicked goa, the game
ending ~ to y.
