eoo,.tou Geld. Probably never before in
,,o history of football has such a game
hon Witnessed. For briirancy of play,
,,,looked-for maneuvers and fine indi-
vidual work the game Of '92 viii stand
pre-cmrent.
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
draeged from the field. Graves took his
place Plucky little King was injured six
times but stuck TO his work throughout
amid the applause and admiratiOns Of
friends and foe alike. The score at the
end of the game stood L to 0.
Princeton worked bravely and scien-
tincally throughout, and would certainly
have scored had it not been for the poor
play of Han. on two occasions he spoiled
Irincctons chances. once by foul inter-
ference and again by tumble when the
Tigers had the ball within ten yards OF
Nalcs goal. Had Hall done his work well
Yale would not have had the pleasure Of
sending Princeton home with goose egg.
The only thing TO spoil to-day's sport
vas the wind. IL was a little too strong
for football. but when the immense
crowd of 90 900 people I'm Manhattan field
saw Princeton win the toss. give the ball
TO Yale and choose the favorable side Of
the field they were satisfied, and il made
matters mere even. Betting was to 1
in favor Of Yale tefore the teams ap-
reared. but after the toss the odds fell
TO 10 J. and strange TO say, there were
but few Princeton takers at that.
AS early as s o'clock this morning the
trains of the Sixth and Ninth avenue
railroads We're filled with people bound
for the game. The gates were not opened
until IL o'clock, but for an hour before,
the streets in the vicinity Of the grounds
were filled with a bowling mob of college
boys. The dark blue Of Yale the light
blue OF Columbia the crimson Of Har-
ward, the orange and black of Princeton,
and the cOrnelian and white of Cornell
all were there, and those who welded the
flags loudly demanded admittance. In
side the enclosure busy scene was being
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 il looked like a miniature
DOnnybrook fair. Hats. canes. coats and
flags TO say nothing of buttons and chry-
santhemums. were broken and torn, but
the boys did not mind it at all. They
were used TO it.
All they wanted was to get in, and they
got I'm, but not until they had been sub
Jected 10 the by no means gentle caress
of a dozen blue coats, who handel the
mob with cOnsummate skill. In squads
Of tens and tWenties the crowd emptied

about the playing field. Inside of half
an hour the front places We're 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 feet. keeping time with
footing horns, and shouting themselves |
hoarse over the arrival of each tallyho. |
or the tallyho's six containing Yale en-
thusiasts We're first 10 arrive. Only one |
lone Princeton coach put in at the gate /
before noon, and the Tigers gave il a
rOusing reception.

of the field. directly IN front OF stand !

riages found places I'm front Of the grand
stand on the south side Os the field. The
police arrangements were of the best.
Inspector Conlin had 100 blue coats on the
field, and under the direction Of Captain
Killilea and Sergeants Thompson and
Kersinger they were well distributed and
maintained good order The reserves in
several precincts were held i'm readiness
for any call. The playing field was guard
"a by fifteen polio men. who met with the |
experience Of those so situated last year.
They were frequently told at the differ
ent periods OF the game to take off 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 10 enormous SIZE
and but few vacant seats were 10 be seen
on the free stands.
The grand-stand contained many par
ties, and the gayly- -bedecked members Of
the fair sex entered with the bows into
the enthusiasm of the moment. Five OF
the boxes I'm the cottage in the east end
OF the field were filled at noon They all

to arrive with orange draperies had a
large black "P" on each side Strange to
say, but little enthusiasm was created by
It's advent A big blue umbrella caused
much excitement. 1t was carried by a
stalwart man, who with two of his fell
ow-students. made a circuit Of the field.
The noise that greeted this travelling !

holders were the following. George c.
