New York, November 80. = Thirty
thousand people visited Manhattan field
today, and saw Princeton beat Yale at
football. Some 10000 people saw the
game from points outside the grounds.
The Princetons began the game with a
flying wedge, and gained Is yards. Yale
! then got the ball. but soon lost it. Yale
regained the ball, and Butterworth
kicked it to Princeton's 42-yard line. Af-
ter gaining and losing the ball several
times, Morse, of Princeton, took it, and
before he was downed had covered 35
yards. The first down was on Yale's 10
yard line. The wearers of the blue then
took brace and gained five yards on a
terworth punted 25 yards. Morse was
given the ball and covered II yards be-
fore he was downed. Then Yale tried a
trick which would allow her to get the
ball on side play. and have clear field
for touchdown. The punt though only
covered 25 yards, and Keeping, of Prince
ton, made beautiful catch. The bail
was now Princeton's on the 45-yard line.
King took it, and after a long transverse
run, was downed with only four yards
gained, and it was Yale's ball on fum-
BILE. Here Butterworth made the longest
run Yale made in the game. He covered
80 yards, and went down. Yale had to
kick, and so Princeton got the ball. Five
yards were given the tigers for interfer-
ence. The ball was at Princeton's 90
yard line, nearest to her goal, but Prince
ton, by a fine series of rushes, carried
the ball half the length of the field with
out losing it. Princeton Intellectually
tried the flying wedge. In Yale's haste
to break il, before her guards got off the
side. Princeton, by the rule, was entltled
to five yards. This would have taken
the ball over the line. A compromise
was made, and Princeton held the ball
with grant of two yards, leaving her
one-half a yard to gain. This Ward
gained on the next play through the cen
tire, and a touchdown crowned the most
brilliant series OF plays the Princeton
team ever exhibited. King, of Prince
ton, kicked off and then dropped nice
goal from the 2O-yard line. Score, Prince
ton, 6; Yale, O; time, 55 minutes. The
remaining ten minutes of the first half
were spent in short gains by both teams,
Yale somewhat in the lead.
The second half was opened with a
vim by Yale. She gained Is yards on the
first play, and the flying wedge was add
ing small but steady gains, when she
lost the ball on a tumble. The Princeton
backs cleared five yards and fumbled the
ball. A series of rushing plays followed,
King got the ball and ran 40 yards be-
fore he was pushed out of bounds by a
Yale man. Another Princeton man got
the ball on Yale's 15-yard line, but the
defence prevented a touchdown. Yale
got the ball on downs, and Butterworfh
kicked from the Yale goal to Princeton's
50-yard line, where it was captured by
Princeton, who brought it to Yale's Is
yard line. A drop kick failed, and the
ball rolled over Yale's goal line Is yards
to one side, and Yale took it on her 20
yard line. Yale had made but little ad-
yantare when the time closed.
