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

bucked Princeton's centre in desperate
shape and four times failed to gain an
inch, the ball going to Princeton. Now
II was Princeton's turn. Ward was put
through for six yards, Morse goes
through the centre for ton yards more.
Yale's center was rapidly weakening
and the men on the line seemed to be
unable to Withstand the rushes OF the
Princeton backs aided by the fine inter-
ference. King succeeded in plunging
through Yale's center for ten yards.
Morse gained three yards, Ward two.
and finally with great rush Ward
plunged over the goal. King kicked out
and Blake caught it on the Yale's 10
yard line. King kicked goal and the
score was Princeton 6, Yale nothing.
For the balance OF the first half there
was desperate playing. Princeton re-
peatedly smashed through Yale'a CEN
ter, while Yale on the contrary failed to
max any great gains with the exception
of pretty run made by Armstrong
through Princeton's lett.
THE SECOND HALF.
Yale seemed to have lost all the snap
which had characterized her playing in
games heretofore and Hinkey and But
terworth seemed to be the only men
who seemed to be playing. OF course
Hinkey had been badly hurtand Thorne
! was also in pretty hard shape. Time on
the first half was called at 3:36. Score:
Princeton 6, Yale nothing.
In the opening OF the second hall
Yale started again to use her old trick
OF buUking the centre, but with the ex-
ception OF the first gain made by But
terworth their play was unsuccessful.
Princeton's centre seemed like q stone
wall. Seven successive times Yale tried
to push either Butterworth, Thorne or
Armstrong through, but each time they
were downed without making any con.
siderable gain. Then Princeton tried
it, but Yaie seemed to be waking up
and resisted the attack. Blake was
then forced to punt. After Butter
worth had tried unsuccessfully to come
through Princeton's center, Ballet
broke Princeton's left and took the ball
right 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.
Gray was sent around for ten more;
Princeton got five more for Yale inter-
ference. Three times Yale tried Prince
toms centre, but without effect.
Blake punted and Butterworth caught
it, but was downed Immediately by
Brown. Butterworth punted for twenty
five yards and King fumbled, but for
Yale interference Princeton would have
got the ball.
KINGS CLEVER WORK.
King made one of the cleVorest ma
nouvres of the day. Ballet had put the
ball in play few seconds before the
half backs were ready. King, taking
the ball, found nobody to receive 1t,
and hugging it close started around
Yale's left end. He succeeded in max
ing % yards, escaping all the tacklers
until he reached Butterworth, who
downed him. With a flying interfer-
ence Princeton carried the ball up to
YaIe's fiye-yard line. They loat the
ball to Yale and Butterworth punted.
The ball went fully 40 yards, one OF the
longest punts of the day. Princeton
secured it and with a solid wedge in ono
play forced it back Is yards.
King. Morse and Ward then made
very clever play. King passed the
ball toward Criss who scored 1t to
Morse. The Yale players had started
for the right, they and Morse in the
meantime coming together like a cy-
clone. There was hardly anybody in
his way and with the aid OF Kings fine
interference he succeeded in making 30
Yards. At this juucture of the game
Thorne was forced to retire and Hart
took his place.
Yale seemed to be thoroughly sur.
prised 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 stand yelled themselves
hoarse.
When time was called the ball was on
Yale's fifteen-yard line. The score:
Princeton G, Yale 0. Touchdowns:
Ward, for Princeton, l. Goals: King,
for Princeton, l. Time of game, 2 hours
and % minutes.
The attendance was about $4,000.
1t is interesting to note in this par
ticular that since 1888 Yale has won
eleven championship games, Princeton
four and Harvard one. Since 1883, out
Of total OF 122 games played, Yale has
won III, having lost one to Harvard
| and three to Princeton.
