dogs and tigers The quick flashes o'
Princeton's yellow; the fierce CLEANS cl
Yale's blue; the grip of sharp tackllne
claws; the CLINT Of the set teeth, and
over all the hoarse laundering of an
army OF maniacs. This was the scene
at the great annual football game, the
contestants being Yale's eleven against
that OF Princeton. After a fierce battle
Yale won by score OF IL to 0.
The largest and most enthusiastic
crowd that was ever seen on ball field
was in attendance. The weather was
perfect-clear and cold. Early in the
day coaches, gaily decorated with col
lege colors, dlled With hilarious studen ts
and young ladies', were headed for the
grounds. By noon the lower part OF the
city was deserted, and the upper
thronged by gay crowds rushing toward
the goal OF the day.
At2p. m. the leagues came on the
field, and after preliminary practice
tossed for positions. Princeton won and
took the west goal, the wind strongly in
her favor. Yale had the ball. The
teams then lined up and the fun COM
menced at 2:05.
Yale went to work without delay and
inside of four minutes secured touch
down from which a goal was kicked.
The Yale followers, we're wild with ex-
element. Score--Yale, &; Princeton, 0.
Princeton now got the ball and by a
wedge and punt put 1t to 'Yale's To-
yard line. Yale rallied and despite the
desperate defensive tactics by Princeton,
regained 20 yards. They lost the bali
and it landed on Yale's 25.yard line.
Yale waA then on the defensive, but
Princeton played bucking game, and
put the ball on Yale's 15-yard line again.
Two attempts by Princeton, at goal
from the field, failed, and Yale landed
the ball on her 20 yard line. Yale
formed wedge and forced the ball to
Princeton's center; Princeton rallied
and worked the ball to Yale's 30-yard
line. Yale made hard fight, and the
ball was again in the center. The
Princetons now rushed, and the line was
broken the ball again went to Prince
ton territory. Up to the 15-yard line it
went; then the tide was stemmed. and
it went back to the center, in Yale's
hands, but was forced up to Princeton's
20 yard line. Princeton then forced the
ball back to center, but Yale got it, and,
after worrying back and forth. succeeded
in reaching Princeton's 40.yard line.
Two or three men had been hurt up
to this time, but they continued to play.
Princeton tried and carried the sphere
into the Yale's territory and finally
reached the 40 yard line, but could not
hold the advantage and Princeton had
the ball on the center line. Princeton
finally reached Yale's 10yard line. but
Yale rallied and forced the opponents
back to Princeton's 30-yard line, when
time was called for the first half, with.
out further score than Yale's touch
down and goal.
Princeton's fine play caused general
surprise; it was especially strong in
tackling and blocking. Yale was much
of the time on the defensive and their
fumbling was very noticeable, attributed
to cold.
The second half opened with Prince
toms bail, and 1t was soon forced to
Yale's 80 yard line, but Yale rallied,
and soon the ball was in Princeton ter
ritory. Laurie Bliss of Yale made q
fine run of 25 yards, but was savagely'
attacked and went down with a bad y
sprained knee. He continued playing,
however. It was now Yale's ball on
Princeton's 25-yard line, but Princeton
forced it back to the 35 yard line and
finally over the center into Yale's terri
tory. Yale forced it back gradually.
when Bliss caught the ball and gained
16 yards. Butterworth carried it
16 more, while Wallis, Yale's right
tackle, carried 1t five yards further.
Princeton took the bsll on the 40-yard
line and forced it to Yale's 80 yard line.
Here they tusseled for some time, until
Homans made a disastrous kick. The
ball struck Stillman and bounded across
the white line of the Princeton goal.
Princeton's quarter back missed it, and
Stillman made q touch down and glory
enough for the rest of his life. Butter
worth kicked an easy goal just % min
utes after the half was called. score
Yale, 12; Princeton, o.
During the remainder of the half
nothing was scored. although the
Princetons fought like tigers. They
forced the ball in the Yales' territory
and made them act violently on the de-
iensive. Trenchard, Princeton'a right.
was slightly hurt but did not give up.
The tables were turned and Princeton
Was compelled to ,confine its efforts to
keeping Yale from scoring again. and
succeeded. When time was called the
ball was left at Princeton's 10-yard line.
Yale ned won. With q swift tidal
wave of 10000 people rolling in upon
them, the bruised and battered tigers
