SATISFACTORY RESULT.
The result Of the game must be highly salts
factory to the members and supporters Of both
teams. To Princeton because it showed their
eleven to be q particularly strong one at this
period Of the season. Their team work was
above the average, their play quick and decis-
i've, and their men strong and capable players.
They have q line which, with one two ex-
ceptons, Is q solid one. The most apparent
fault was fumbling and q tendency to drop tho
ball when tackled. To Columbia, for though
they were sadly handicappedby almost an entire
hack OF system and team work, each man played
hard, steady game. Continuous practice and
conscientious training will put them in form u
meet almost any adversary. Because the center
was weak Wilson IL not to be blamed. as he
never before filed the position and he had OPP
po:ite him one Of the best centers in America.
Shields played strong game, which will i'm
prove. It was the fault Of the line and not his
that his kicks were so often blocked. Bur-
roughs and Lewis played exceptionally we'll,

THE PRINCETON PLAYERS.

As individuals Princeton is very strong. King
is not only fitted by exceptional qualities for his
position as captain, but is phenomenal half
back. Romans fame as one always to be relied
on needs no comment. He is strong, accurate
ner. Bartels ia little too GLOW To oct around
the end, but as q line bucker is very successful.
Irenchard Is an old reliable, and so is Holly.
Macauley did not show very strong points and
Taylor appeared little weak. Hall and Wheeler
are strong guards besides their abilities to gain
ground when given the ball. Balliett is hard to
beat at center. Though Poe is hardly the
equal Of his brother as quarter
back, he plays q very good game in that po-
sition, passing with accuracy and interfering
well for his backs. Princeton's chances for the
championship would seem very bright.
Last night the Princeton team occupied boxes
Mt the National Theater. This morning they
left for Annapolis, where they play the Naval
Cadets this afternoon.

Wheeler trotted back TO his position. The play
began again with clever run by Holly Of if
teen yards around the end, where Welsh by q
eharp tackle stopped his further advance. The
ball was then about thirty yards from the goal
line. 1t was passed to King, who ran slowly
behind his interferers until be saw his opening
Like flash he was away Skirt,ng the end he

with ON open field to the goal line. His pretty
run was heartily applauded. Romans kicked
goal from punt out. Score, IL to 0.
WORKING THE WEDGE.
Again the wedge was worked for a ten yard
gain, but Columbia could 60 no further Four
downs give the leather to the Tigers" and
they were Immediately of for the goal line
Short, quick rushes by Holly, Bartels and King

of-side play melted five more yards and then
big Hall, ducking his head, went through the
center and over the line for the third touch
down. Romans kicked difficult goal. Score,
10 to o.
From the center Church gained ten yards
before the whistle blew When further progress
was stopped Shields lifted long punt which
bounded over Homans' head. Poe on the
alert He nabbed the spheriod. tucked il away
under his arm and was of. He ran fast and

ball. Darby tried q run. but King broke through
and dovped him some distance back of his
starting place. Shields received his signal for q
kick, which Princeton blocked by breaking

| given to Princeton, however. as q claim Of off,
side play was allowed by the umpire. Again
| Shields kicked to Homans. The latter started
| on q long run, which advanced the play thirty
yards further down the field. Before the ball
could again be put in play time for the first half
| was called.
THE INTERMIsSION.
| During the intermission many Of the specta-
tors swarmed on the field to personally inspect
the plucky, steady men who will battle for
Princeton and the championship against Yale.
They watched with especial amusement the
''freshening" process McMaster treated his
pets" to. Each man had the dust and dirt
| spongcd from his eyes and hair. His bruises
were attended to, and the grooming q race
horse has between heats Is not more careful
than the treatment bestowed on these players.
At the same time the Princeton men held an
| informal reception. Old college acquaintance
were renewed with hearty handshske. King
| came in for the major share from his many nd-
mirers In this city. Balliett, the center, and
Randolph, substitute end and tackle, both Of
whom are old Lehigh players, were welcomed
by the Lehigh men at the game. Poe was the
center Of group of Baltimoreans.
THE SECOND HALF.
The intermission quickly up. The crowd
returned to their seats, while the players again
took the field. BY o slanting wedge Poe gained
fifteen yards. King added ten more. Romans

King had his arms and hands in leather pro-
tectors and. In fact, almost every man had
visible evidence of the fact that the gain of q
few feet in game was more to be considered
than tho loss of an eyebrow or ear or to get
broken nose. One young lady In the grand
stand made to believe that the town Of
Princeton was without a barber who could cut
hair until one Of her escorts enlightened her by
explaining that those long. shaggy locks which
adorned the head of every player were allowed
TO grow to protect the head from hard knocks
and blows.
THE PRELIMINARY PRACTICE.
The preliminary practice was source OF q
great deal Of amusement to the spectators who
