NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-0ncs more Yale
has defeated Princeton. One mors the
Tigers have failed to score and again the
blue flag waves triumphant over the foot
ball field. Probably never before in the
history of football has such o game been
witnessed.
For brillancy Of play, unlocked FOR
manoeuvres aud fine individual work,
the game of '92 will stand prs-eminent.
Nothing more heroic than the work of
Laurie Bliss and of Capt. King of Prince
ton has been seen on the football field in
years.
Bliss neck was wrenched three times
and his lame knee injured on four differ
ent occasions, but with Spartan courage
he continued in the game and only gave
up in the latter part Of the second half,
when he had to be literally dragged from
the field. Graves took his place.
Plucky little King was injured six
times, but stuck to the game through
! out, amid the applause and admiration
of friend and foe alike.
The score at the end of the game stood
! 12 to nothing. Princeton worked
bravely and scientifically throughout,
and would certainly have scored had it
1 not been for the poor playing of Hall.
| On two occasions he spoiled PrinceUon's 8
chancsS-once through foul interference,
and again through tumble when the
| Tigers had the ball within 10 yards of
Yales goal Had Hall done his work
well Yale would not have had the pleas
urs of sending Princeton home with a
goose sgg.
The only thing to spoil the sport was
the wind 1t was little too strong for
| football, but when the immense crowd of
30, 900 people in Manhattan Field saw
Princeton win the toss give the ball to
Yale and choose the favorite side of the
held, they we're satisfied, as it made mat
ters more even.
Betting WAS to / in favor of Yale
before the teams appeared, but after the
toss the odds fell to 3 to |, and, strange
to say, there were but few Princeton
takers at that.
The gates to the grounds were not
opened until IL o'clock, but for an
hour before that time the streets in
the vicinity of the grounds were filed
with a bowling mob of college boys who
made life miserable for store keepers in
the vicinity by their noise.
The dark blue of Yale, the light blue
of Columb bia, the crimson of Harvard,
the orange and black of Princeton and
the carnelian and white of Cornell all
were there and those who welded the
flags loudly demanded admittRnce. In
side the enclosure busy scene was be-
ing enacted.
The field had been all prepared days
before, but the last finishing touches
were being put on before the admission
of the crowd.
When the gates were opened, what a
rush there was. At the admission gate
it looked like a miniature Donny brook
fair. Hats canes, coats and flags, to say
nothing of buttons and chrisanthemums
were broken and torn, but the boys did
not mind at all. They were used to it,;
all they wanted was to get in and in they
got, but not until they had been subjected
to the by-no-means gentle csress of a
dozen blue coats who haudled the mob
with consummaUe skill, in squads of tens
and twenties.
The crowd emptied itself into the
grounds and made straightway for the
best positions along the fences about the
playing field. Inside Of half an hour the
front places at the fences were filed, aud
an hour later the boys stood four-deeD,
keeping themselves warm by frequent
nips at suspicious looking bottles and
keeping time with footing horns and
shouting themselves hoarse over the ar
rival Of each tally-no.
Shortly before the game was called the
crowds on the grounds had swelled 10 an
enormous size, there was not one vacant
seat, and standing room was not to be
had. The grand stand contained many
parties, aud gaily decked members of the
fair sex entered with the boys into the
enthusiasm of the moment,
A big blue umbrella caused plenty of
excitement. 1t was carried by a stalwart
Yale man who, with 25 fellow students,
made II circuit of The field.
The noise that greeted this travelling
crowd was deafeninR.
Fully 20, 600 people were presen when
the game was called. The weather kept
growing colder, and to keep warm IL was
necessary 20 keep moving. The wind in
creased and swept the field in gusts that
carried everything before it.
The Princeton team, which was stop
ping at the Murray Hill Hotel, left the
hotel very quietly for the field few min
utes before noon. The players kept
striotly to their rooms all the morning
and made their departure for the scene
Of conflict without any fuss or noise
Their arrival on the grounds was the
occasion for wild demonstration. Hats
and canes were hurled into the air and
for time pandemohium reigned.
The Yale team left the Fifth Avenue
Hotel at about the same time and arrived
st the grounds few minutes after theil
rivals. AS the carriages containing the
Yale boys entered the grounds scene
equaling If not exceeding in noise
that accorded the Prinoetons was en-
acted.
AT 2 o'clock the Yale men appeared.
There WAS a grand shout all over the area
Of the grounds and "a roar went up from
$4,000 throats. The cheering was pro
longed, until the Princeton men followed
few minutes later. The cheering wa
