HINKEY KNOCKED, SENSELESs.
Yale was getting desperate now and, after
a little consultation. decided to try the
flying wedge used by Harvard. They sue
ceeded in putting Hinkey through for five
yards. Morse and Ward gained six yards.
Princeton lost the ball ON an ofside play.
Yale then tried the flying wedge, but played

worth, instead of rushing it, the full back
then punting forty yards. Blake caught
the ball and started to bring it back. He
was running head down when he struck
Hinkey with terrible force, throwing the
Yale captain senSeless on his back. He was
patched up in the required five minutes,
however, and play was resumed. For
Princeton, King lost two yards trying to go
around Yale's end and Blake was forced
to punt. Butterworth caught the ball on
Yale's thirty-five yard line and made a
magnificent dash to return ii. He was
tackled four times and each time shook off
the Princeton men, amid great applause,
finally landing the ball thirty-five yards
back. On the next play he went through
Prfnceton's right end for ten yards more,
then Princeton settled down. On four
downs Yale failed to gain five yards and
lost the ball. Blake then punted and Thorne
captured the ball. but was downed before
wedge but failed. B~utterworth was COM
PEELED to punt. BY a poor punt by Blake
on an offside play Yale gained two yards.
Yale was now getting more desperate. The
men knew that they had found their match,
If not their superior in the Tigers. Four
times they bucked Princeton's center in
desperate shape, and four times failed 10
gain an inch, the ball going To Princeton.
Now it was Princeton's turn. Ward was
put through for six yards. Morse went
through the center for ten yards more.
YaIe's center was rapidly weakening and
the men on the line seemed TO be unable to
withstand the rushes of the Princeton
backs aided by the fine interference. The
| adherents of the Tigers were wild with ex-
element, and King, the plucky little quar-
ter back of the Princetons. added fuel to
the excitement while plunging through
| Yale's center for ten yards. Morse gained
three yards, Ward two, and finally, with
a great rush. Ward has plsnged over the
goal line for a touchdown. King kicked
and Blake caught the bail on Yale's fifteen
yard line. King kicked a goal and the
score was: Princeton, 6; Yale 0.
For the remainder of the first half there
was desperate playing. Princeton repeat
edly smashed through Yale's center, while
Yale. on the contrary. failed to make any
run made by Armstrong through Prince
| toms left. Yale seemed to have lost all
ing in games heretofore, and Hinkey and
Butterworth seemed TO be the only men
playing anything like the game which it
was supposed individual players would put
up. OF course Hinkey had been badly hurt
and Thorne was also in pretty hard shape.
Time on the first half was called at 1886.

THE SECOND HALF.
In the opening of the second half Yale
started again to use her old trick of buck
ing the center, but with the exception Of
the first gain made by Butterworth, the
play was unsuccessful. Princeton's center
seemed like a stone wall. Seven success
sive times Yale tried TO push either But
terworth. Thorne or Armstrong through,
but each time they were downed without
making any considerable gain. Then
Princeton tried it, but Yale Seemed to be
waking up and resisted the attack. Blake
was then forced to punt. After Butter
worth had tried unsuccessfully to come
through Princeton's center, Ballet broke
through Princeton's left and took the ball
out of B~utterwOrth's hands, Ward was
then pushed through for ten yards; Gray
was sent around for ten more; Princeton
got five more for Yale's interference. Ward
was again showed through for Two yards
and Morse for three more before Yale got
the ball.
Three times Yale tried Princeton's center
but with no effect and ButterwOrth was
forced to punt. King caught it and tried
to bring it back, but lost four yards. Ward
| punted for twenty-five yards, and in the
next play Butterworth returned the punt.
