 The First HalG
 Before the spectators had finished greeting the teams the ball was put in play. Men were talking to each other, commenting upon the appearance of the players, ladies were still pursuing the conversation begun half an honr before, when suddenly a shout from the thous- ands on and around the field was heard.
 Something had happened. But whatl Only i minute and 67 seconds had elapsed, and surely nothing startling had occurred. But it had. Yale had scored @ touch down, and Butterworth was pre- pairing to touch a goal. As
 It was an event that astounded the crowd, But when it was learned what had happened-that Yale, by a clever trick, had started off in the face of the wind with a score-the applause was deafening.
 Two trials had been made and the ball advanced IS yards into Princeton's terri tority. Mccormick motioned to Laurie DllSA Auu Ill AnOUnor luSOdnb al0 cap tain had snapped the ball to Laurie, and that man, with the ball safe in his arms, started at a breakueck speed for goal. He ran around the right end and before the Princeton players could recover from their surprise, Bliss was burying the ball and Butterworth was getting ready to kick. Gresnway had guarded the end we'll and "Pop" Bliss, Butterworth, and Hinkey had assisted to good effect.

During the rest of this half Yale acted on the defen- sive but kept the ball we'll into Prince tons territory. The half ended with no further scoring, the ball being left on Princeton's 80 yard line, Poe having just caught a clever punt of Butterworth's.
 The Second Half.
 During the ten minutes rest between the halfs Heffiefnger, Rhodes, Harvey, Corbin, Beeoher, McClung. and Gill, famous for their work for Yale in the football field, took occasion to tell all their friends that Yale was going to put up big surprise in the second half What the surprlse was nobody ever knew, as Princeton was on her mettle and forced the play from the start.
 After ten minutes play Yale got the ball into Prinoeton's territory, and ten minutes later Stillman scored 8 touch down for Yale, not through any brilliant play, but simply because he happened to be within ten yards of goal in time to l follow up punted ball.
 Stillman was widely cheered by the Yale men, however, for his good judg- msnt. Butterworth kicked the goal, and Yale had 12 points to her credit, while & dismal cipher marked the efforts of Princeton.
 After the touchdown Princeton took | the ball from centre and kept 1t in Yale's ground for nearly 80 minutes. Three times they had the ball within ten yards | of goal, but on each occasion they failed | to score. On the last trial Yale got the l ball and 1t was rapidly pushed to the centre and into Princeton's territory. Then matters grew hot. It looked as | though Yale might score again at any time. Four times did 'Pop" Bliss run, but thrice he gained naught and once but three yards. Butterworth forced the ball | but to no effect Princeton's interference | was superb and the ball, when time was | called, remained on Princeton's 15 yard | line.
 It was a good victory for Yale, as l Princeton put up one of the best fights in the history of the game. The crowds of spectators brokk in upon the players at | the close of the game and for ten min utes Mccormick and the rest of the Y ale boys had to submit to a vigorous hand shaking.
 | hi half an hour after the game the grounds were deserted and the various street car lines and "L" roads were packed to their utmost capacity with tn @ people hurrying to get home or to some dinner or theatre, The weather was bit terly cold, but no one complained. The sight was worth the suffering
