The Game Won By Hard Rushes
Against Yale's Center-P Princeton s
Center Impenetrable - The Game
Opened By a Pretty Run For 20
Yards By a Princeton Half Back.
The Game Witnessed By $4,000
Spectators.
New York, Nov. 3O-The day was a
perfect one for foot ball, and the field
was so arranged that neither wind nor sun
favored either team. Much, therefore,
was expected in the line of brilliant play
ing on both sides. In this the crowd was
not disappointed Never was such q game
of foot ball played in the history Of the
sport, for dash of movement, exquisite in
reference, masterful Judgment and
dogged persistence Yale was beaten at
her own game to-day Much of the in
terference that was so effectively used
against her WAS first used by her, and
has this year been adopted and improved
upon by Princeton. Yale is no longer the
master of team play on the foot ball field,
for she was outclassed in this art by her
opponents to-day.
PRINCETON'S STONE WALL.
Though the Jersey backs showed re
markable agility in daShing through
openings and in wOrmiug their way along
under the very nose of the tackles fully
three yards frequently. the credit of
PrlncetOn's brilliant play must not all go
to them, for the work of the rcsistless
five, though unseen by the crowd, made
such breaches in their opponents ranks
that it only needed a quick dash by the
backs and five yards was gained and
showed clearly that the Princeton center
cannot be matched in the field to-day
Though Yale's backs hit the line well,
their gains were small, for Princeton was
impenetrable.
BUTTERWORTH'S BUCKING.
Butterworth was the only man who
could advance aay appreCiable gain. He
was worked hard ana his bucking, added
to his puntiug, easilyput him IT the very
top. His puntS on the whole was not as
brilliant as was expected A few were
phenomenal but many others were weak
and showed the effects of excitement.
The result was that Blake punted for
more cards on the whole than he, Blake
was easily outclassed in bucking the line,
however, and was not given the ball for a
single run around the ends. Blake won
fame to-day by his coolness. Wheeler
outclassed Hickok at guard. and Is there
fore now the recognized king of the field
in his position. King, Ward and Morse
also proved their right TO place in the
front rank as backs.
THE BOYS WHO DID THE YELLING.
In the south side grand stands there
were two sections devoted to the under
graduates of the contending colleges.
Yale filled her section, of course. and
N,1
tered about in the different stands, but
numerous as they were the friends of the
tigers outnumbered them. Princeton
was the popular favorite, but not over
whelmingly so. The Columbia boys, who
were numerous, were cheering for Prince
ton, and as they were not only numerous
but noisy and ubiquitous, they made a
big showing of partisanship for the black
and yellow.
VIEWED FROM THE HIGHTs.
Upon the steep bluffs which mark the
beginning of Washington lights to the
west of the field, there were between
10000 and $4,000 spectators. These We're
not admitted free. The owners of
hundred dollars in fencing it
in and charged so cents admission.
This thrifty enterprise netted him about
s., 900. The iron viaduCt which runs
along 155th street from Washington
heights to the Harlem river was black
with people. Altogether it is a reason
able estimate to say that $4,000 people
viewed the game.
THE TEAMS LATE IN ARRIVING.
Those fifty thousand were all very i'm
patient when O'Clock came and no team
appeared. This was because the special
car which the elevated road was to have
m nj la a Z ir,th cTr
delayed. The impatience begot a tension
which finally stopped all the noise, and
just before the teams appeared the vast
fields and the overlooking nights and
viaduct had become strangely quiet when
one thought of the excitement pent MP
there The excitement and pent-up
forces were turned loose in the usual
way when a wildly agitated young man
Clinging to the top Of an electric light
startled the stiffness with a shrek,
They are coming" They came. Then
for five minutes there was a wild tumulU
of horns and rattles, punctured by the
far-conveying blast of a trumpet sound,
which gave martial call
THE ELEyENs on TIE FIELD.
The twenty-five shock-headed young
stCrs ran out on the gridiron and began
cavorting on the grounds. as porpoises in
the sea, and the cheers were deafenng
The coachcrs, doctors and attendants
spread themselves out on blankets along
the north side-lines: the captains were
called up by the umpire for a serious
word of warning against rough play, and
at last play was called at 2;15 o'clock.
