The Game.

New York, Nov. 30.-This was the
great football day of the year. On
Manhattan field, the Yale and Prince
thousands of spectators inside the
fence and 10000 looking down from the
high grounds about, and other points
of vantage, to contest for America s
football supremacy.
The day opened with a temperature
like April, but with wet, soggy clouds
overhanging the sky. AS the hours
passed, however, the sun broke
through the retreating hosts of
Jupiter Pluvius, and the promise was
for good weather, when the teams
should get together.
Belated ticket purchasers had to pay
dearly for their dilatoriness. In pro-
viding this first requisite to entrance
to the grounds, $40 was readily paid,
and $40 and even $50 given up for one
of these pieces of pasteboard.
The betting was very decidedly in
Yale's favor. Sporting men freely of
fered So to 81 and S. to SO on the Blue
against the Black and Yellow. Bets of
$1,000 to $500 on Yale were numerous,
with any quantity of smaller ones at
SIS to SIS. Experts said there were no
such odds between the teams.
Princeton had been practicing a num-
Der of tricks and it was rather ex-
pected they would spring some sur
prises.
1t was noticeable the Princeton men
seemed fresher and livelier than the
Yales two Of whose men, Butterworth
and Thorne, bore marks of last weeks
contest with Harvard and were lame
besides.
At p. m. both teams packed up and
left for the grounds.
Before time for the game to COM
mence, the weather became perfect.
The sun was shining in a cloudless sky;
the air was crisp and invigorating.
The college men, out in force, made
the welkin ring with college yells, and
the mournful footing of tin horns
The crowd cheered the teams as they
came on the ground.
Princeton won the toss took the ball,
and opened with a flying wedge, gain
ing twenty yards. Yale got the ball
on a tumble, but was downed without
a gain. Butterworth punted thirty
yards Then it was Princeton's ball,
on which they gained five yards. On
Yale's ball, she gained five yards three
times in succession; the ball is on
Yale's fifteen-yard line; Yale through
the centre for five yards; Butterworth
punts thirty yards. Hinkey, captain
OF Yale was hurt, and left the field,
but returned. Then Princeton gained
five yards and the black punted thirty
yards more; Butterworth punted thirty
yards; ball on Princetons twenty-yard

near the centre of the field; Blake

five yards, and for an off-side play
gained five more, then by a series of
small gains put the ball on Yale's
twenty-yard line; Princeton playing a
great game, put the ball on
Yale's ten-yard line; then on the
five-yard by a flying wedge. The ex-
element was intense. Other small
Princeton gains followed by desperate
play, in spite of all Yales efforts, and,
at 315 Ward was forced over the line
and a touch down scored for Princeton
and the goal kicked. Score-6 to
in favor of Princeton
Yale's ball was in the centre; they
