YALE DOWNS THE TIGERS
THE NEW HAVEN BOYS SCORE lo
AND PRINCETON o.


No One Seriously Eurt.
New York. Nov. 24.-Onoe 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 maneuvers, and 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 Princeton
has been seen on the foot bail 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 and only gave up in the latter
part OF IL o second half, when he had TO be
literally dragged from the field. Graves
took his place. Piucky littls King was in
jured six times. but stuck to his work
throughout, amid the applause and admira-
tion Of friends aud foe alike. The score at
the eud OF the game stood IL to O,
Princeton worked bravsly aud scientific
ally throughout, and would certainly have
scored had II lot been for poor play OF
Hall. On two occasions he spoiled Prince
tons chances, once by foul interference
and again through a tumble when the tiQ.
ers 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.
A LITTLE TOO WINDY.
The only thing to spoil to-day's sport was
the wind. II was little too strong for foot
ball, but when the immense crowd of 3d.

choose the favorable side OF the field they
were satisfied and IL made matters more
even. The betting was 5 TO in favor of
Yale before the teams appeared, but after
the toss the odds fell TO 8 to /, aud, strange
TO say. there were but few Princeton takers
at that.
As early as 8 O'Clock this morning the
trains OF the Sixth and Ninth avenue l.
roads were filled with people bound for the
game. The gates were not opened until ii
O'Clock, but for an hour before the streets
in the vicinity OF the grounds were filled
with howling mob Of college boys. The
dark blue Of Yale, the light blue Of Colum-
bis, the crimson of Harvard, the orange
and black Of Princeton and the carnellan
and white Of Cornell, all were there,
and those who welded the flags
loudly demanded admittancs. Inside the
inelosure busy scene was being enacted.
The field had been ali prepared days before
but the last finishing touches were being
put on before the admission OF the crowd.
When tho gates were opened, what rush
there was at the sa mission gate. 1t looked
like miniature Donnybrook fair. Hats
canes, coats and flags, TO say nothing of
buttons and chrysant themums, were broken
and torn, but the boys did not mind IL at
all. They were used 10 it. All they wanted
was TO get In, but not until they had been
subject TO the by no means gentle caress Of
a dozen blue coats, who handled the mass
of humanity with consummats skill in
squadsRof tens and tweaties.
RUSHING INTO THE GROUNDS.
The crowd emptied itself into the grounds
and made straightway for the best positions
along the fences about the playing field
Inside OF halt an hour the front places were
filled and an hour later the boys stood four
deep. keeping themselves warm by frequent
nips at suspicious looking bottles and by the
stamping Of their feet, keeping time with
footing horns and shouting themselves
hoarse over the arrival Of each tally-ho. or
the tally-hos six containing Yale enthusi-
asts we're the first TO arrive. Only one lone
Princeton coach put in at the gate before
noon. and the Tigers gave 1t a rousing re-
ception. The coaches lined up on the north
side Of the field, directly Ia front of

raised twenty-five feet above the ground
Private carriages found places in front Of
the grand stand on the south side of the
field.
The police arrangements were of the best.
Inspector Conlin and 100 blue coats were on
the field and under the direction OF Capt.
killlea and Sergts. Thompson and Ker-
singer they were well distri buted and main
tanned good order. The reserves In several
precincts were held in readiness for any call
The playing field was guarded by fifteen
policemen, who met with the experiences OF
those so situated last year. They were
frequently told, at different periods
of the game, TO take of their hats, ''sIt

rule take special delight in showing their
contempt for blue coats Shortly after noon
the crowd on the grounds had swelled to
enormous size, and but few vacant seats
were to be seen ON the free stands The
grand stand contained many parties and
gayly bedecked members of the fair sex
entered with the boys into the enthusiasm
OF the moment Five Of the boxes in the
cottage In the east end OF the field were filed
at noon. They all displayed Yale colors.
PRINCBToE's SECOND COACH.
The second Princeton's coach to arrive
with orange drapery had large black ''F"
on each side. Strange to say bat little en-
thusissm was created BY It's advent.
