The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-12-01
From the very start

OF the game IL was puIpNDIe eNeH W
those totally uninterested in the mys-
teries of the game, that the Yale team
was clearly outclassed, as it was Ger
tainly outplayed by the modest young
giants who, with never an idle boast in
their trail, went into the battle with
look in their eyes that meant victory.
It was noble exhibition Of physical
prowess. The exhibition on Manhat-
trn field was q beautiful thing to see
and TO remember for many reasons.
The day was perfect, absolutely and un-
oualifedly perfect. As early as IL
o'clock the professional tribes began to
pour in. They came In bodies OF from
fifteen to o hundred. They seemed glad
to be alive. Their voices were attnned
to the ordered music Of the marching
order. They sang and they danced.
The tallyho's began TO arrive long be-
fore noon. All OF them were miracu-
lously filed with miraculous crowds.
When the players bounded out on the
fsld before the play was called. they
rolled around, fell down hard on the
ground and wrestled about with each
other, not because they seemed to rel
ish that sort Of thing, but because they
wanted to timber up their joints and
get the blood to fash through their
veins.
Princeton won the toss, and the wind
not being OF sufficient momentum 10 et.
tectually aid the players, chose the ball,
The tigers started off with d flying
wedge, Ward going through Yale's CEN
tre for twenty yards.
On the next line up, Morse took the
ball through Yale's right and for three
yards, but lost it on tumble. Butter
worth then kicked for goal thirty yarda,
Princeton securing it. Ward was sent
through Taylor for three yards, but
Morse, ontwo tries, Ward on one, failed
to gain the necessary five yards and
Yale took the ball. Then it was that
Yale tried to force Butterworth through
Princeton's right end. So firm did
they find the line that Butterworth only
made one yard. Then they tried the
same thing with Lea and he made three
yards, but on the next line up Hlckok
stepped over the line and Princeton
took the ball on an off-side play. Blake
punted down to Yale's fve-yard line,
and then Morse set the vast audience in
n tumult Of excitement by spreading
around Yale's right between Greenway
and Beard and lodging Armstrong,
making II yards. Yale was getting
desperate now, and after q little con-
sultation decided to try the flying
wedge used by Harvard. They sue
ceeded in putting Hinkey through tor o
yards.
HlHKEY KNOCKED sENsELEss.
Morse and Ward gained six yards.
Princeton lost the ball on an off-side
play. Yale then tried the flying wedge
but played trick by throwing the ball
to Butterworth instead OF rushing it,
tho full back then punting 40 yards.
Blake caught the ball and started to
bring it back. He was running head
down when he struck Hinkey with ter
rible force, throwing the Yale captain
senseless on his back. He was patched
up in the required five minutes, how
ever, and play resumed. For Princeton
King lost two yards trying to 90 around
Yale's end and Blake was forced to punt.
ButterWorth made magnificent dash
to return the ball. He was tackled four
times and each time shook the Prince
ton men amid great applause, landing
the ball IS yards back. On the next
play he went through Prlnceton's right
ond for 10 yards more; then Princeton
settled down, and in four downs Yale
failed to gain yards and lost the ball.
Blake then punted and Thorne cap
tured the ball, but was downed before
no could start back. Twice they tried
the wedge but failed. Butterworth was
compelled to punt. By poor punt oi
Blake on an of-Hide play Yale gained IL
yards,
By this time Yale was getting desper-
ate. The men know that they had
found their match, II not their super
