NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Once more Yale
has defeated Princeton. Once more 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 foot ball has such game
been witnessed. For brilliancy OF play
unlocked for manoeuvres and fine indi-
vidual work, the game of '92 will stand
pre-eminent.
Nothing more heroic than the work OF
Laurie Bliss and of Captain King OF
Princeton has been seen on the foot ball
field in years. Bliss neck was wrenched
three times and his lame knee injured on
four different occasions, but with Spartan
courage he continued in the game end
only gave up in the latter part OF the sec
ond 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 his work through hout,
amid the applause and admiration OF
friend apd foe alike.
The score at the end of the game stood
II to o. Princeton worked bravely and
scientifically throughout and would GER
tainly have scored had IL not been for the
poor play of Hall. On two occasions he

through tumble when the Tigers had
the ball within ten yards of Yale's goal.
Had Hall done his work well Yale would
not have had the pleasure OF sending
PRINCETON home with goose-egg.
The only thing to spoil the sport was
the wind. II was little too strong for
foot ball, but when the immense crowd OF
$4,000 people on Manhattan field saw
Princeton win the toss, give the ball TO
Yale and choose the favorable side OF the
field, they were satisfied as IL smade mat
ters more even. Betting was 8 to / in
favor of Yale before the teams appeared,
but after the toss the odds fell 3 TO 1, and,
strange to say, there were but few Prince
ton takers at that.
As early as 8 o'clock in the morning the
trains of the Sixth and Ninth avenue 81"
roads, the only public conveyance to the
grounds were filled with people bound
for the game. The gates were not opened
until IL o'clock, but for an hour before,
the streets in the vicinity OF the ground
were filed with a bowling mob OF college
boys. When the gates were opened the
scene looked like
A Miniature Donny Brook Fair.
Shortly after noon the members on the
grounds had swelled to an enormous
crowd, and but few vacant seats were to
be seen on the free seats. The grand stand
contained many parties, and gaily
bedecked members of the fair sex entered
with the boys into the enthusiasm OF the
moment. Five OF the boxes in the cot
tege in the west end of the field were
filled at noon. They all displayed Yale
colors.
Among the box holders were the follow
ing: George G. Treadwell, Franklin Muir
tina, William M. Taylor, George Peabody
Wetmore, ex-governor OF Rhode Island;
ANW NJ. p 1Nfr
Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob Astor, William
Moorhead, ex-Yale captain; Senator VOL
colt, Mr. Wade and Mr.. Day. Many vet
erans of the foot ball field were notice
able. The following had tally no coaches:

John Wallace New York Stock Exchange;
Irving Brokaw, Ivy Club OF Princeton.
