! Saturday last came upon the field as sanguine
| OF winning as that the SUN would go to its rest.
| But the Princeton team and coachsrs who saw
| the wearers OF tho crimson driven like sheep
| on Saturday, used their eyes to such good pur-
pose upon that occasion that before play had
been goin: on five minutes 1t was apparent to
even the inexperienced sport that the fol-
| lowers az Old Nassau had i'm proved wonder-
! fully, and that Yale knew no points that her
| adversary was not already cognIzant OF and
| could not check mate.

through Murphy and Beard that most Of
princeton's gains were made and when their
weakness was apparent, every effort was bent
