wedge, but played a trick by throwing
the ball to Butterworth instead of Rush
ing it, the full-back then punting forty
yards. Blake caught the bell and started
to bring 1t 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 was resumed.
For Princeton King lost two yards
trying to go around Yale's end and
Blake was forced to punt. Butterworth
caught the ball on Yale's thirty-fifth
yard line and made magnificent dash
to return It, He was tackled four times
and each time shook off the Princeton
men amid great applause, landing the
ball thirty-five yards back. On the next
play he went through Princeton's right
end for ten yards more; then Princeton
settled down and in four downs Iale
failed to gain five yards and lost the ball
Blake then punted and Thorne captured
the ball, but was downed before he
could start back
Twice Yale tried the wedge, but failed
Butterworth was compelled to punt. By
a poor punt by Blake on an off-side
play Yale gained two yards.
still More Desperate.
BY this time Yale was getting desper-
ate. The men knew that they had found
their match, If not their superior, in the
tigers. Four times they bucked Prince
toms center in desperate shape, and four
times failed to gain an inch, the ball
going to Princeton. Now ii was Prince
toms turn. Ward was put through for
six yards. Morse goes through the CEN
ter for ten yards more. Yale's center
was rapidly weakening and the men on
the line seemed to be unable to with
stand the rushes of the Princeton backs
aided by the fine interference. The ad-
herents of the tigers were wild with ex-
element and King, the plucky little
quarterback of the Princeton, added
fuel to the excitement while plunging
through Yale's center for ten yards
Morse gained three yards, Ward two
and finally with a great rush Ward has
plunged over the goal line for a touch
down. King kicked out and Blake
cought 1t on Yale's ffteen-yard line
King kicked goal and the score was:
Princeton, 6: Yale. 0.
For the balance of the first half there
was desperate playing. Princeton re-
peatedly smashed through Yale's center
while Yale, on the contrary, failed TO
make any great gains with the excep-
ton Of a pretty run made by Armstrong
through Princeton's left Yale seemed
TO have lost all the snap which had
characterized her playing I'm games here
tofore and Hinkey and Butterworth
seemed to be the only men playing any,
thing like the game which IL was sup
posed individual players would put up
OF course Hinkey had been badly hurt
and Thorne was also I'm pretty hard
shape.
Time on the first half was called at
1896. Score: Princeton, 6; Yale, o.
The Second Half.
In the opening Of the second half Yale
started again to use her old trick Of
bucking the center, but with the excep-
ton of the first gain made
by Butterworth the play was
unsuccessful. Princetons center
seemed like a stone wall. Seven
successive times Yale tried TO push either
Butterworth Thorne or Armstrong
through, but each time they were
downed without making any considera-
bic gain. Them Princeton tried 1t, but
Yale seemed 10 be waking up and re-
forced TO punt After Butterworth had
tried unsuccessfully TO come through
Princeton's center Ballet broke through
Princetons left and took the ball out Of
Butterworth's hands Ward was then
pushed through for ten yards: Gray was
sent around for ten more; Princeton got
five more for Yale's interference; Ward
was again showed through for two
yards and Morse for three more before
Yale got the ball. Three times Yale
tried Princeton's center but with no eff
feet and Butterworth was forced to
punt. King caught ii and tried TO
bring IL back but lost four yards. Ward
punted for twenty-five yards and In the
next play Butterworth returned the
punt. IL was Princeton's ball then and
Ward was put through the center for
five yards. Blake punted and Butter
worth caught 1t, but was downed imme-
diately by Brown. Butterworth punted

Kings Clever Play.
King made one OF the cleverest
maneuvers of the day Ballet had put
the ball In the play a few seconds be-
fore they were ready. King. taking the
ball, found nobody to receive it, and,
hugging II close to his bosom, started
around Yale's left-end. He succeeded
and made twenty-five yards, escaping
all the tacklers, until he reached But
terworth, who downed him. With a
flying interference Princeton carried the
ball upk to Yale's five-yard line. They
lost the ball to Yale and Butterworth
punted. The ball went fully forty yards,
one OF the longest punts of the day.
Princeton secured it and with a solid
wedge I'm one play forced IL back fifteen

made a very clever play. King passed
the ball to Ward to criss-cross to Morse.
The Yale players who started for the
right and Morse in the meantime were
coming like a cyclone. There was hard
ly anyone I'm his way and with the aid
of Kings feint interference he sue
ceeded in making thirty-five yards. At
this juncture of the game Thorne was
forced to retire and Hart took his place
Yale seemed to be thoroughly surprised
at the plays of their opponents and
weakened considerably. Four or five
times Princeton bucked the center and
three successive plays carried the ball
up to Yale's five-yard line. The crowd
on the stands yelled themselves hoarse.
When time was called the ball was on
Yales fifteen-yard line
The score: Princeton, g. Yale, 0.
