was UDbounded.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.-Once more Yale
has defeated Princeton. Once more the
"Tigers" failed to score, and again the
blue flag waves triumphantly over the
football field. Probably never before in
the history Of football has such a game
been witnessed. For brilliancy Of play,
unlocked for maneuvers, and for in
dividual work the game Of 9s will stand
pre-eminent. Nothing more heroic than
the work of Laurie Bliss and of Captain
King, of Princeton, has been seen on the
football 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 the second half, when he
had to be literally dragged from the
field. Plucky little King was injured
hx times, but stuck to his work through
out, amid the applause and admiration
Of friends and foes alike.
The score at the end of the game stood
scientifically throughout and would GER
tainly have scored had it not been for the
poor play Of Hall On two occasions he
spoiled Priucetons chances. Once by
foul interference and again through
tumble when the Tigers had the ball
ball within ten yards of Yale's goal. Had
Hall done his work well Yale would not
bave had the pleasure of sending Prince
ton home with a goose egg,
The Rush for the Game.
The only thing to spoil the days sport
was the wind. 1t was little too strong
Sor football but when the immense
crowd Of 10000 people in Manhattan
Aeld saw Princet on win the toss, give the
ball to Yale and choose the favorable
side of the field they were satisfied, and
II made matters more even. Betting
was Eve to one in favor of Yale, and
khere were but few Princeton takers at
Una t. AS early as o'clock in the morn
ing the trains on the Sixth and Ninth
tvenue 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 filed with a bowling
bob Of college boys. The dark blue Of
Yale, the light blue of Columbia, the
crimson Of Harvard the orange and
black Of Princeton and the carnelian and
white Of Corpell all were there, and
those who welded the flags loudly de-
Manded admittance. Inside the in
closure busy scene was being enacted.
The field had been prepared days efore,
but the last finishing touches were being
pmt on before the admission of the crowd,
When the gates were opened, what q
cash there wasl At the admission gate
Il looked like miniature Donnybrook
fair. Hats, canes, coats and flags to say
Aothingo Of buttonsand chrysanthemums,
were broken and torn, but the boys did
not mind it at all, They were used t.
1t. All they wanted was to get in, but
rot until thoy had been subjected to the
iby no means gentle caress of dozen
bluecoaSs, who handled the mob with
Eonsummate skill. In squads of tens
and twentieB 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
were filed, and an hour later the boys
stood four deep, keeping themselves
YARN by frequent nips at suspicious
looking bottles and by the stamping of
feet, keeping time with footing horns
end shouting themselves hoarse over the
errival of each tallyho. Of the tallyhos
those containing Yale's enthusiastics
were first to arrive. PTinceton's coach
put in the gate before noon, and the
crowd gaye il a rousing reception The
coaches lined up on the north side of the
6eld directly in front of stand "B," the
Seats of which were raised twenty-five
feet above the ground. Private carriages
found places in front of the grand stand,
on the south side of the field.
Perfect Police Arrangements.
J. Tho police arrangements were of the
best. There were 100 bluecoats on the
held, and the reserves in several pre-
ancts were held in readiness for any
qall The playing field was guarded by
fifteen policemen, who met with the ex-
perience of those so situated last year.
They were frequently told, at different
periods of the game, to take of their
hats. "sit down" LAY down or bury
themselves" by impatient college boys,
who, as a rule, take special delight in
showing their contempt for the blue
coats.
Shortly after noon the crowd on the
= grounds had swelled to an enormous
ize, 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 en-
tered with the boys into the enthusiasm
Of the moment. Five Of the boxes in
the cottage in the east end of the field
were filled OF noon. They all displayed
Yale colors.
The second coach to arrive with orange
draperieS had largo black "P" on each
ide. Strange to say, but little en-
thusiasm was created by its advent. A
Big blue umbrella caused plenty of ex
element. 1t was carried by a stalwart
Yale man who, with two of his fellow
students, made q circuit of the field.
The noise that greeted this travelling
crowd was deafeuing.
There was nearly panic in the grand
stand before the game began. Some
body dropped lighted match, which
fred some paper. There was lively
blaze, which caused some excitement. 1t
was extinguished by water procured
from neighboring restaurant.
Yale Surprises the Natives.

ately started practicing, passing and
falling on the ball Two minutes later
