NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Once more Yale
has defeated Princeton. Once 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, I'M
looked-for maneuvers and fine individual
work the game of '99 will stand pre-emi
mont.
Nothing more heroic than the work of
Laurie Bliss and of Captain King of Prince
ton has been seen ON the football field in
years. Bliss neck was wrenohed three
times and his lame knee injured on four
different occasions, but with Spartan cour-
age 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 his work throughout amid the
applause and admiration of friends and foes
alike.
The score at the end of the game stood
10 to O.
Princeton worked bravely and scientif-
ically throughout and would certainly
have scored had it not been for the poor
play of Hall. On two occasions he spoiled
Princeton's chances, once by foul interior
ence and again through tumble when the
tigers had the ball within ten yards of
Yale's goal. Had Hall done his work we'll
Yale would not have had the pleasure of
sending Princeton home with goose egg.
The only thing to spoil the days sport was
the wind. 1t was little too strong for
football, but when the immense crowd of
thirty thousand people on Manhattan field
saw Princeton win the toss, give the ball
to Yale and choose the favorable side of
the field they were satisfied it made mat
ters more even. Betting was five to one in
favor of Yale before the teams appeared,
but after the toss the odds fell to three to
one, and strange to say there were but few
Princeton takers at that.
AS early as o'clock the trains of the
Sixth and Ninth avenue elevated roads,
the only public conveyance to the grounds,
were filed 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 filled
with bowling mob of college boys. When
the gates were opened the scene looked
like q miniature Donnybrook fair. Short
ly afternoon the numbers on the grounds
had swelled to an enormous crowd,
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
entered with the boys into the enthusiasm
of the moment. Five of the boxes in the
cottage in the east end of the field were
filed at noon. They all displayed Yale
colors. Among the box-holders were the
following; George G. Treadweli, Franklin
body Wetmore, ex-governor of Rhode
leland, Mrs. Wetmore, MIR. George r.
Fearing, Mr.. and Mrs. John Jacob Aastor,
William Moorehead, ex-Y ale captain;
Senator Wolcott of Colorado, Mr.. Wade
and Mr.. Day.
Many football veterans were noted. The
following had tally-ho coaches: Colonel
Becker, New York Athletic club; John
Wallace, New York stock exchange; Irving
Brokaw, Ivy club, of Princeton.
There was nearly q panic in the grand
stand before the game began. Somebody
dropped lighted match which fred some
paper. There was lively blaze which
caused some excitement 1t was quickly
extinguished by water, procured from a
neighboring restaurant. At 2 o'clock
prompt the Yale men came on tie field
and were shortly followed by the Prince
ton men. They Immediately started prac-
ticing passing and falling on the ball.
