Never was such game OF foot-pail

masterful judgment. and dogged persist

today. Much Of the interference used so
effectively against her was first used by
her. and has this year been adopted ana
improved upon by Princeton. Yale IS no
longer the master of team play on the
football field. for she was outclassed IN
this art by her opponents to-day

Princeton Was Imperitable.
Though Yales backs hit the lines well
their gains were small. for Princeton was
impenetrable. Butler was the only man
Hho could advance any appreciable gain.

the very top. His punts on the whole
were not as brilliant as was expected
though. A few were phenomenal but
many others were weak and showed the
effects Of excitement. The result was that
Blake punted for more yards on the
whole than Butler. Blake was easily out
c.aSsed In bucking the line. however, and
was not given the ball for "a single
run around the ends. Blake won fame
today by his coolness. Wheeler outclass-
cd Hickok at guard and is therefore now
the recognized king Of the field position.

IN the south side the grand stands were
two sections devoted 20 the undergradu-

was a liberal Yale overflow scattered
about in the different stands, but numer-

Fifty Thousand People Present.
Upon the steep cliffs which mark the
beginning Of Washington Heights to the
west Of the field there were between
1000 and 1900 spectators. They were

had spent a few hundred dollars i'm
