The College Boys Have Their Innings
Yale Defeats PrIncetoa and kansas
Downs Missouri.
New YORK, Nov. 25.-Once more Yale
has defeated Princeton. Once more the
tigers have failed to score, end again
the blue flag waves triumphant over
the football field
bly, never before in the history
of football has such game been wit
messed For brilliancy of play, un-
looked for maneuvers and fine indi-
vidual work the game of '92 will stand
pre-eminent- Nothing more heroic
than the work of Laurie Bliss, of Yale,
and Capt King, of Princeton, has been
seen on the football field in years.
So the two teams fought in a death
lock down to the last minute of the
| battle, then with the battle on Prince
toms twenty yard line little Mccormick
gave his last signal Back flashed the
ball from the hamlil1e hands of Still
man and into the arms Of Mccormick.
Then on a swift, catlike pass it went to
Butterworth, who dived headlong for
the line. In an instant the ground was
athunder with the furious thump of
flying heels and the air flashed with
the quick, desperate heave of yellow
against blue. Then there came the
harsh impact of canvas jackets, the
grind of muscular limbs and down
went the whole mob. Two yards more
to win, sang out the referee, and every
man sprang like lightning to his place.
Shoulder to shoulder they stood. Be
fore Mccormick could give the signal
above the tremendous roar of voices
rose the birdlilke whistle of the referee
and the battle was over. Yale had won
by a score of IL to O.
KANSAS DEFEATS MISSOURI.
KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Nov. 25.-Fully
5000 spectators were present at the
football contest yesterday afternoon at
Exposition park, and witnessed the
grandest struggle for football honors
that was ever seen in the west
They saw the orange and black OF
Missouri defeated by the crimson of
Kansas in a scientific clean-cut contest,
a little rough perhaps, but just rough
enough to make the game intensely in
teresting.
The game was called precisely at 8
o'clock by Referee E. Cornell, a gradu-
ate of Harvard university, and Hale
Holden, a Williams man, took his posi-
ton as umpire The Missouri eleven
won the toss up, and took the ball, and
Kansas choose the south goal.
Kansas made gains aggregating TWEEN
ty yards, when, in scrimmage, Piatt,
of the Kansas team, became involved in
a controversy with the quarter back OF
the Missouri team, Anderson, which
was soon ended by a Missourian step
ping between the two belligerent
contestants and preventing further
trouble. Missouri was given the ball
and, after short struggle, which was
greatly hindered by the anxious group
of spectators who had crowded over in
to the field and invaded the territory
which was marked out for the strug-
Cling elevens, the men refused to go on
with the game unless the field was
cleared. This was done and when, in
five minutes, time on the first half was
called, the ball was in possession
of the 'sJay Hawks although in Mis-
souri, territory. The score stood 6 to
in favor of Kansas.
The tussle continued until time was
finally called and the Kansas university
team was declared winner by score OF
10 to 4.
