 NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Oncs more Yale has defeated Princeton. One 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 football has such @ game been witnessed.
 For brilliancy of play, unlocked for maneuvres aud f1pe individual work, the game of '92 will stand pre- eminent. Nothing more heroic than the work of Laurie Bliss and of Capt. King of Prince ton has been seen on the football field in years.
 Bliss neck was wrenched three times and his lame knee injured on four differ ent occasions, but 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 to the game through out, amid the applause and admiration of friend and foe alike.
 The score at the end of the game stood 12 to nothing. Princeton worked bravely and scientifically throughout, and would certainly have scored had it not been for the poor playing of Hall.
 On two occasions he spoiled Princeton z chance3-once through foul interference and again through a tumble when the Tigers had the ball within 10 yards of Yales goal. Had Hall done his work we'll Yale would not have had the pleas ure of sending Princeton home with a goose egg.
 The only thing to spoil the sport was the wind. It was little too strong for football but when the immense crowd of 80, 900 people in Manhattan Field saw Princeton win the toss, give the ball to Yale and choose the fRvorite side of the field, they were satisfied, as it made mat ters moro even.
 Betting was 5 to 1 in favor of Yale before the teams appeared, but after the toss the odds fell to $ to 1, and, strange to say, there were but few Princeton takers at that.
 The gates to the grounds were not opened until II o'clock, but for an hour before that time the streets in the vicinity of the grounds were filled with bowling mob of college boys who made life miserable for store keepers in the vicinity by their noise.
 The dark blue of Yalo, the light blue of Columbia, the crimson of Harvard the orange and black of Princeton and the carnelian and white of Cornell all were there and those who wielded the flags loudly demanded admittance. h. side tho enclosure a busy scene was be- ing enacted.
 The field had been all prepared days before, but the last finishing touches were being put on before the admission of the crowd.
 When the gates were opened, what a rush there was. At the admission gate it looked like miniature Donnybro fair. Hats canes, coats and flags, to say nothing of buttons and chrisanthemums were broken and torn, but the boys did not mind at all. They were used to it.; all they wanted was to get in and in they got, but not until they had been subjected to the by-no-means gentle caress of a dozen blue coats who handled the mob with oonsummate skill, in squads of tens and Jwenties.
 The crowd emptied itself into the grounds and made straightway for the best positions along the fences about the | playing field. Inside of half an hour the | front places at the fences were filled, and an hour later the boys stood four -deep, keeping themselves warm by frequent nips at suspicious looking bottles and l keeping time with footing horns and | shouting themselves hoarse over the ar rival of each tally-ho.
 Shortly before the game was called the crowds on the grounds had swsllsd to an enormous size, there was not one vacant | seat and standing room was not to be | had. The grand stand contained many | parties, and gaily decked members of the | fair sex entered with the boys into the enthusiasm of the moment. | A big blue umbrella caused plenty oi | excitement. Mt was carried by stalwart Yale man who, with % fellow students made a circuit of the field.
 The noise that greeted this travelling crowd was deafening
 Fully 20, 900 people were prese mt wher the game was called. The weather kept growing colder, and to keep warm it was necessary to keep moving. The wind in' creased and swept the field in gusts tha carried everything before it.
 The Princeton team, which was stop ping at the Murray Hill Hotel, left the hotel very quietly for the field few min utes before noon. The players kep strictly to their rooms all the morning and made their departure for the soent of conflict without any fuss or noise Their arrival on the grounds was tn occasion for n wild demonstration. Hat. and canes were hurled into the air anG for time pandemonium reigned.
 The Yale team left the Fifth Avenu
 tel at about the same time and arrived
 the grounds few minutes after thei ,.vals. As the carriages containing th' Yale boys entered the grounds 8 scen' equaling if not exceeding in nois that accorded the Princetons was en acted.
 , At2 o'clock the Yale men appeared There was a grand shout all over the are of the grounds and a roar went up iron 1000 throats. The cheering was pro longed, until the Princeton men followe few minutes later. The cheering WE renewed at the appearance of the Tiger and volley. after volley of yells was re turned by the opposing collegiates.
 The teams lined up as follows: l Y51Is pnsiffOnS p1~incefo1a
