met yesterday afternoon on the croker
Grounds, Hoboken. The play was ex-
ceedingly rough and almost ended in a
small riot. The Stevens boys can excel
in football. but when it comes to slug
ging the Athletes can hold their own.
Corbett and Hutchinson of Stevens in
jeeted pugilism into the game, ana Cor
bett. who does not fight quite as well as
his namesake, received a severe pummei-
ling Just at the finish by young Roderick,
and he had the Institute mar in Queer
street. The others interfered and the
fighting propensities of both cams were
aroused. Fortunately peacemakers
jumped in and prevented a collision just
as the teams were about to rush at each
other. The Athletes had a weak team,
as several of the regulars supposed the
heavy rain of the morning would leave
the ground in such a condition that the
teams could not play. Then two of the
Athletic III best players, Barclay and
DevIin, were injured and compelled to
retire. The first half was of twenty
minutes duration, and Stevens scored Is
points. Cummings made two touch
downs and Hamilton made one. The
Athletes were unable to score. On ac-
count of the crippled condition OF the
Athletic Clubs team it was agreed that
the second half should be limited TO ten
minutes, No points were made and a
large portion of the time was given to
the Singing bouts between Corbett and
Roderick.

the team of Rutgers College. The latter
made a beautiful defense in the first half
of twenty minutes and repeatedly broke
Princeton's interference, but failed to
score. Voorhis at half back fumbled so
frequently that he was speedily taken
out and Mccormick was substituted, and
put up a clever game. Wheeler played
we'll throughout. In the second half,
also OF twenty minutes, Rutgers went

CANNOT AGREE ON THE DATE.
Captain Trenchard and Manager Mum
of the Princeton team, n Captain Hin
key and Manager Cable of the Yale
eleven, met at the Murray Hill Hotel
ing a date and grounds for the football
game between the two colleges, but
were unable to come to a satisfactory
agreement Captain Hinkey announced
that under no circumstance would Yale
agree to play the Tigers on Thanksgiv-
ing Day. Experience, he said, had taught
the New Haven men that it would be un-
wise to play so strong an eleven as
Princeton SO soon after the game with
Harvard. Five days, he claimed, was
entirely too short a period for the men
to have in which to timber up for the
game with the Tigers. He insinuated
that Yale's defeat at the hands of the
Princeton men was due to the lack of
reparation for the game.
Captain Trenchard said that his men
ould positively refuse to play on De-
he objections OF the faculty. The latter
claimed that if the game was decided on
December it would interfere material
minded Hinkey that Yale had played
Harvard in former years under precisely
the same conditions as last season,
and said he was at a loss to account for
TO agree to a compromise and play the
game on December l." concluded Trench
ard, there will be no game" =
Three grounds are talked about for the
game. Yale favors Eastern Park, Prince
ton names Manhattan Field, while AM
brose Park is the neutral ground sug-
'gested.

Manager Masterson of the New Jersey
A. C. football department has expert
mented enough with his football team
and he has to a certain extent given all
those who hav been ambitious to play
on the team a chance to show just what
they are worth. In fact, those on the
inside know perfectly well that in all
the games SO far played, which have been
practice games, he has been trying new
candidates. The regular team is now
decided upon, and will make its first
appearance Saturday, when it meets
Princeton Varsity Subs on the Jersey
oval. Great preparations are being made
and certainly a large crowd is expected.

grounds, and the Central r. r. of N. J..

G. station. The game with Princeton on
Saturday will be called at 4 P. M.
