New York, December High jinks
was the order of the hour here last night
when Princeton students, graduates and
friends celebrated victory, and the ad-
mrers of the beaten blue celebrated de-
feat with equal vim. The New York
Times of this morning says:
If the fathers of college boys at Prince
ton and Yale had dreams last night. per-
haps the angel who traces and weaves
dream figures and scenes made for them
something of immediate paternal inter-
est, If he did not he missed chance of
a lifetime-even on angels lifetime-for
in the Tenderloin precinct were scenes
portending ill for paternal pocket
books.
Up and down, hither and thither, pa
raded the scions of noble houses. They
were on avenues and cross streets, on
corners and in squares. They were in
theatres and music halls. Lean, lanky
long-haired, buried as tochalky faces in,
the shadows of college colors and chrys-
anthemums. and physically lost in heel
touching coats, they paraded through
Capt. O'Connors precinct. The lobbies
and bars of the big hotels were invaded
by them.
Some of them got boisterous, proba-
bly, forgetful of the order Of Superinten-
dent Ryrnes directing prompt squelch-
ing Of youthful disorderliness.
After the game was over, the hotels
were the first places sought by the young
gentlemen who were bound to make
their fathers money pay for the bowling
in Rome. Soon after 7 o'clock passage
through the corridors of the Hoffman
House and Fifth Avenue Hotel could be
had only by favorite football player.
The general public moved at its peril.
There were hundreds of Princeton men
waving their orange and black triumph
antly. There were dozens of Yale men
waving the beaten blue and rapidly try
ing to bathe it in the Lethe, for which
father was to pay.
Now and then there came mild collis-
ion, a miniature rush, between the men
of the colleges.
A Yale crowd, defiant in defeat rushed
little band of orange and black be-
decked youths in swallowing coats and
concealing chrysanthemums, through
the doors of the Fifth Avenue.
''Oh, they're not Princeton men;
they're dry goods clerks,'' yelled an Or
ange-decked youth who wore chrysan-
thenum hair and trailing locks.
Some of the Princeton boys found yell
low lamp shades and used them in
most ridiculous fashion. They wore
them in their hats, and several of them
wore them into the West Thirteth street
station.
Cheers and yells grew frequent as time
flew on and the supplies of stimulants-
for which papa paid-a part of a liberal
ly, indeed, did the revelrys andi disorder
at the Hoffman House proceed that the
whole thirsty crowd had to be turned
out into Broadway at 1870.
They went out bowling and yelling.
Princeton flags, scarfs, hats, and rib
boned canes came into collision with the
still defiant blue of Yale and ''dry goods
clerks" mechanics" and ''laborers'' of
various kinds lost their valor which early
in the day had made them college sup
porters, and disappeared.
In Roster & Bial' S music hall pande-
monium began in mild way soon after
the performance opened. Every seat in
the house was sold, and from the boxes
waved flags of Princeton and Yale.
As every performer came on the stage
wild howls resounded, and Oscar Ham
merstein trembled in his shoes away be-
hind the scenes.
These yells were given to no particu-
lar person until the Healys came out
with a compromise between Yale and
Princeton colors. Then there was
shout on one side, answered by rivaling
howl on the other. But when Capitola
Forrest began her high kicking there
was deafening chorus.
In the Jefferson Market Police Court
this morning Papa" will pay again the
fine of his sons. He will find among
them many sad-eyed boys. whose looks
will somewhat belle their statements
last night in the police station that they
were truck drivers, and others of
low degree.
Princeton students were ordered by
the Faculty to register at Old Nassau be-
fore midnight. Some of them did.
Those who did not will lose. a half
years marks.
