Never Before Has Such q
Game Of Football Been
Witnessed.

Scoring.

New YORK, Nov. 24.-Once more
Yale has defeated Princeton. once
more the Tigers have failed to score,
ang again the blue flag waves triumph
ant over the football field.
Probably never before in the history
of football has such game been wit
messed For brilliancy of play, un-
looked-f0r maneuvers and fine indlVld-
lal work the game of '92 will stand
1re-emfnent. Nothing more heroic
than the work Of Laurie Bliss and OF
Capt. King. of Princeton, has been seen
on the football field in years. Bliss
neck was WreEched three times and his
lame knee injured on four different oc-
casions. bat 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 10 bis work throughout
amid the admiration and applause OF
friends and foes alike.
The score at the END of the game stood
y tC0. Princeton worked braVely and
scientifically throughout, anu
WON d Certainly Have Scored
had ii not been for the poor play of Hall.
On two occasions he spoiled PrincetOn's
chances-once by foul interference
and again through tumble when the
Tigers had the ball within ten yards of
Yale's goal. Had Hall done his work
well, Yale would not nave had the
pleasure of sending Princeton home
with goose egg.
The only thing to spoil today's sport
was the wind. 1t was little too strong
for football. but when the immense
crowd of 10000 people in Manhattan
field saw Princeton win the toss, give
the ball to Yale and choose the favor
able side of the field, they were salts
fed. and it made matters more even.
Betting was to l Ill favor of Yale be-
fore the teams appeared, but after the
toss the odds fell to 3 to l, and, strange
10 say, there were but few Princeton
takers at that.
AS early as s o'clock this morning the
trains of the Sixth and Ninth avenue
~ roads were filled with people bound
opened until II O'clock, but for an hour
the streets in the vicinity of the grounds
were filled with bowling mob of col
lege boys. The dark blue Of Yale, the
light blue of Columbia, the crimson OF
Harvard. the orange and black of
Princeton. and the carnatiOn and white
Of Cornell,
All Were There,
and those who welded the flags loudly
demanded admttance. Inside the i'll
closure busy scene was being enacted.
The field had been prepared days be
fore, but the last finishing touches were
being put on before the admission of the
crowd. When the gates were opened
what 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 chrysan-
themums, were broken and torn, but the
boys did not mind it at all. They were
used to it, All they wanted was to get
in, and they got in, but not until they
had been subjected to the by 10
means gentle careSS of a GOZen blue
coats, who handled the mob with COLI
6ummate skill.
In squads of tens and twenties the
crowd emptied itself into the grounds
and made StraigntWay for the best posi-
tlOnS along the fences about the playing
field. Inside OF half an hour the front
places were filled, and an hour later the
boys stood four deep. keeping them
selves warm 10y frequent nips at suSpi-
ciOuS-looking bottles and by the stamp
ing of feet, keeping time with footing
horns and shouting themselves hOarSe
over the arrival OF each tally-hO.
The Vale Enthusiasts
were the first to arrive. Only one lone
Princeton coach pulled in the gate be-
fore noon. and the Tigers gave it a rous
ing reception. The coaches lined up on
The north side of the field, directly in
front of Stand B, the seals of which
were raised twenty-five feet above the
ground. Private carriages filled the
places in front of the grand stand in the
south side of the field.
The police arrangements we're of the
best. A force OF 100 bluecoatS were OH
the field, and, under the direction of
Capt. kilean and SergeantS Thompson
and Kerslnger, they were we'll distrib-
uted, and maintained so0d order. The
reserves in several pre- cincts were held
IN readiness for any CALL The playing
field was guarded by fifteen police
men, who met with the experience of
those so situated last year. They were
frequently told at different stages of the
game to take Off their hats ''lay
down." ''Sit DOWN. or 'bury them
selves" by impatient college boys, who,
as rule, take special delight in show
ing their contempt Tor bluecoats.
Shortly after noon the crowd on the
grounds had swelled to an enormous
size, and but few vacant seats were to
be seen on the free list. The grand
stand contained many parties, and gaily
bedecked
Members of the Fair Sex
entered with the boys into the enthu-
Siasm of the moment. Five OF the boxes
in the cottage III the east of the field
were filled at noon. They all displayed
Yale cOlOrS. The second coach to ar
rive with orange draperies had large
black ''P" on each side. Strange to say,
but little enthusiasm was created by its
advent. A large blue umbl ella caused
plenty of excitement. 1t was carried by
stalwart Yale man, who, with two of
his fellow students, made circuit of
the field. The noise that greeted this
travelling crowd was deafening.
There was nearly panic in the grand
stand before the game began. Some
body dropped lighted match which
fired some papers. There was a lively
blaze, which caused some excitement
1t was eXtinguished by water procured
from neighboring restaurant.
The players early arrived on the
ground shortly before 2 o'clock-and
before the spectators had fnis he'd

Men were talking TO each other, COM
menting upon the appearance of the
men, ladies were still pursuing the con-

when suddenly shout from the thou

heard. Something had happened. But

seconds had elapsed, and snralv moth
