How the Game Was Won and Lost.
Princeton won the toss and chose the west
side of the field. Svmmes held the ball for
moment, then, touching it down suddenly,
passed it back to Flint and the V advanced.
Five wards were gained when Heffelfnger
Jumped and alighted in the midst of the
phalanx. There was general scattering of
Princeton men, and the ball was stopped as
suddenly as il had started, with a fye-yard
gain.
Yale soon had the ball and it was passed
to McClung, who responded nobly with a
15-vard gain Bliss then took the leather
for another 15 wards. Yale got five yards
for off-side plav on the part of Princeton.
Yale bucked the center in a mass play for
three yards
In short time the leather was on Prince
tons ten-vard line, and the crowd went
frantic. Homans punted for 40 yards, aud
on the first down Yale got five yards for off
side PLAYING. McClung tried the right end
snd lost five wards. Mccormick gained ten
wards through the center, and was imme-
diatelv followed bv McClung, who made
FIVE wards around the left end. Wallis
made three wards through the center. The
ball was then given to Princeton for of-side
plav and Homans punted for 40 yards.
Heffelfnger then got the ball for a short
pass and was dragged through eight yards
He tried again and made two yards.
Hinckev made about three yards through
Princeton's center.
One Mans Ankle Slightly Strained.
Princeton cot five yards because Hart
we'll threw Homans after he made fair
catch. King lost five wards. Homans then
got the bail and punted for 40 yards, but
Mccormick caught it and ran back ten
yards, Mccormick was sent through the
center and made ten yards. Bliss punted
ont of bounds on Princeton's 25-yard line.
Flint made five yards through the right
end tackle, and Poe went through the same
rlace again and made seven yards. Ho-
mans nuuted beautifully for 80 yards and
the hall was on Yale's 45-yard line Yale
then got five yards for of-side play. Nc
Chung ran around the end and gained ten
yards.
Kings ankle was strained in the melee,
hut he resumed playing after a short inter-
mission. NTcClung then got the ball on
mass and made 10 wards. Barbour fumbled
the ball in the next play, and lost yards.
Mccormick made 10 yards through the cen
ter on the next play. Bliss then punted
ior 50 wards Princeton failed to gair on
the next down, and Homans made beauti-
1ul punt for 40 wards, which was caught by
Bliss. McClung was forced TO run back on
the next plav, and lost wards.
PLAY now became rather rough, and Um-
rire Coffin had to warn the men to be cure
fuI Then occurred the finest tackle OF the
game McClung got the bali on short
nass and started on one of his long runs
around Princeton's right end. He would
have had a clear field, but King broke
through, and grabbing him by the seat OF
the breeches, pulled him 10 earth. Inc
Two rolled over and over, and the crowd,
even the Yale men, went wild. Bliss then
made the finest run up to this point of the
game. The gain was 20 yards around the
right end.
The sharpest Kind of Playing Ever Seen.
The plaving thus far had been the sharp
est ever seen on a football field The ball
had remained almost entirely in the center
of the field McClung made ten yards
around the left end and bucked the center
for four wards on the next play. Meteor
mick then advanced the ball another four
wards through the center. McClung then
maze alOAUeI uNt NttlN Ssh'h Di'-c W
lowed for ten wards around the lett end.
Mccormick made five yard gain, and then
NIcClunC made pretty run across the field
for 4 five ward gain. Bliss made q meyer
ten wards around the left. and then Prince
ton got the ball for off-side play. On the
first mass Flint fumbled and Yale fell on
the ball on Princeton's so yard line.

cleared ten wards, bringing the ball danger
+he TerSevmen'S GOAL Riiss
thea took the ball and sneaked around the
right for five yards, but the ball was given
10 Princeton for off-side play. Homans
hunted: the ball was in the center, and
irinrs were even. Bliss kicked and made
40 wards. and Homans made = fair catch.
Princeton formed wedge, Poe holding the
hall Five yards were gained before Hart
well tackled.
Time was called with the ball on Prince
tons coward line Neither side had scored.
and Princeton was jubllant. 1t opened
well. for Yale had counted on scoring in the
first half
The team lined for the second half in a
pouring rain. Yale had the ball, and after
few words of warning from Billy Bull, her
great full-back, started in to do or die.
Just One Solid Mass of Blue.
As usual they started with ''N," and
made seven wards. Yale was playing with
great force, and the ball was soon within 40
wards of Princeton's goal. The stands
waved one solid mass of blue. The ball was
now or Princeton ten-yard line, and when
Winter gained four yards more it looked
very like a touchdown. The crowd was
nearly frantic, and it was, without doubt
The most exciting stage of the game. Win
ter took the. ball again, and when he was
tackled the ball was in the extreme right
corner of the field within three yards of the
goal line. 1t was carried in 10 yards.
EVERYTHING depended on the next play
and the crowd for once was still. McCIung
backed the center, and the ball was then
only one ward from the line. Then the
whole Yale team massed around McCor-
mick. and he was showed over, scoring a
touchdown by about two feet. McClunc
failed TO kick the goal This made the score:
Yale. 4. Princeton, 0.
The ball was taken out to the 25-yard line
and Princeton formed a wedge with the
leather in Flint's possession. McClung then
took the ball from the 30-yard line and ran
within yard of the Princeton line. Winter
was showed over for the second touchdown
at the extreme left corner The score was
now TO 0. McClung again failed to kick
the goal The tide was all in favor Of the
Yale men now, and their singing was heard
ali over the field. The next minute Nc
Cormick kicked a pretty goal from the
field right in the middle of the poles. The
score was: Yale, 13; Princeton, o.
The ball was taken to the center of the
field, and Princeton began desperate rally,
