great football day of the year. The game
at the Manhattan field this afternoon be-
tween Princeton and Yale was as phe-
nomenal in intensity and brilliancy Of
struggle as it was surprising in result.
Yale was defeated to 0. Many moons
will shed their iuster before the Yale men
will recover their composure after this
supplying shock, their complete lack of
preparation for which made this bolt
from heretofore almost unclouded skies
seem like some wrathful visitation for
which they are at q loss to account. From
the very start of the game it was palpa-
bic that Yale was outclassed and out
played by the modest young giants, who
went into the battle with victory in their
eyes.
The teams met in the presence of $4,000
spectators inside the fence and 10000
looking down from the high grounds in
the neighborhood and other points of
vantage to witness the contest for Amer
cas- football supremacy.
The day opened with a temperature
like April, but with wet, soggy clouds
overhanging the sky. AS the hours
passed, however, the sun broke through
the retreating hosts Of Jupiter Pluvius
and the promise was for good weather
when the teams should get together.
The belated ticket purchasers had to
pay dearly Tor their dilatoriness in secur-
ing the first requisite to an entrance to
the grounds; SO was readily paid and $50
and even $50 was given up for one OF these
pieces of pasteboard.
The betting was very decidedly in
Yales favor. Sporting men freely offered
two TO one and five TO three on the blue
against the black and yellow. Bets of
/ 200 TO 500 on Yale were numerous, with
any quantity of smaller ones at % to
ID. Experts say there is no such odds
between the teams. Princeton has been
practicing a number OF tricks, and rather
expected they would spring some sur
prises. 1t was noticeable that Princeton
men seemed fresher and livelier than
Yale's, two of whose men, Butterworth
and Thorne, wore the marks of last
weeks contest with Harvard, and were
lame beside.
At p. NJ. both teams bundled up and
left for the grounds.
Before the time for the game to COM
mence the weather became perfect, the
sun shining in a cloudless sky. The air
was crisp and invigorating, and the col
lege men, out IN force, made the welkin
ring with college yells and the mournful
footing Of tin horns. The crowd cheered

twenty yards. Yale got the bail on a
fumb BILE, but was dOwned without a gain.

it was Princeton's ball, on which there
was gain of five yards. 1t was then

line. Several players had already been
hurt. After see-sawing back and forth,

CAMBRIDGE Mass, Nov. 30.-The

ALI Harvard is wildly hilarious, and
growing more so as The evening ages
Harvard Drawn Jriumphed to-day,
dragged down from it's lofty pedestal the
pride of Pennsylvania mopped it about
in Cambridge clay and then sat upon it,
Harvard's boys defeated the team of the
University OF Pennsylvania by score of
70 to 4. A pleasanter fall day never
shone over New England. Fifteen thou
sand people lined the amphitheater upon
Jarvis field and enjoyed it to the utmost.
Pennsylvania had the ball at the OPEN
ing and made ten yards with the running
V. Harvard rallied, and by rushes and
mass plays forced the bail down to Penn
sylvania's eight-yard line; then to five
yards, then to two yards. The Pennsyl-
vanians. playing desperately, managed to
force Harvard back by series OF brilliant
individual plays. Then the tide turned
and the bali was forced back to Pennsyl-
vania's ten-yard line. Then the struggle
was desperate, but Harvard gained yard
by yard inch by inch, with three downs
on Pennsylvania yard line. The ball
was finally pushed over for a touchdown
and goal kicked. The score was 6 to 0
in favor OF Harvard.
Harvard WOE the game, rs to 4.

SAN Francisco. Nov. 30.-Stanford s,
of a desperately fought football game this
all day, but ten thousand people sat in
the stands and on the bleachers and
bawled for their favorites. The grounds
had been soaked by five days rain, and
patches of mud and puddles OF water
were numerous. ScIentIhc play was out
of the question, and the players slipped
and fell and fumbled IN their efforts TO
get over the ground.
Although the game was not called until
2 O'Clock the crowd started out to the
field before II o'clock, and when the
game started nearly every seat was filled.
stanford was the 1avorlte III the betting
at 10 l. but the conditions were against
them, and, as predicted, the berkeley
men proved to be the better mud larks."
Neither side attempted any tricks, and
the game was simply struggle and push
with an occasional attempt at run
around the ends.
During the first half the Stanfords
played in hard luck. A brisk wind was
