games of football. 1t did cause a post
oorement of the game at Bergen Point
between the Princeton Scrubs and the
New Jersey A. c. teams. The Prince
ton eleven visited the grounds and the
game went off by mutual consent.
The Stevens Institute eleven tackled
tho strong team of the Crescent A. c.
at Eastern Park Brooklyn. The ground
was as slippery as a sheet of ice, and
clever playing was difficult. Many FUN
bles were made. and in this respect the
Stevens boys excelled. The ball was as
hard for them to handle as o CREASED
pig. The Crescent team were far better
in the mud than their opponents, and
won easily. The Stevens team were con-
fdent. as they quit even witt the Cres-
ce-ts last year, and V a better team
this season. The Crescents have been
playing in fine shape, and this season
held Yale down to ten points They
played a dashing game that showed
good coaching. The team is fortunate
in having secured Sanford, the ex-Yale
player. Sanford was everywhere, bring
inc to every back running with the ball
the superb interference tactics that he
learned at Yale. Baldwin and Hotch-
kiss attended to business with their
usual persisteney, and. as a result. the
stevens players found the Crescents''
centre i~mpregnable. The work of
Wright, Curry and Walker, all new
men. created a favorable impression.
Curry distinguished himself by making a
pretty 30-yard run. Stevens had numer-
GUS chances. but lost the ball on fun
bles. In the last half they substituted

YALE-PRINCEToN GAME.
The selection of the date and place for
tAo annual Yale-Princeton gam still re-
mains unsettled. According to private
Information received Yesterday. CAPTAIN
T-enchard has consulted the Graduate
Advisory Committee of Princeton with
fhe result that he will hold out for
Thanksgiving Day and Manhattan Field
Il Princeton should consent to Yale's
request, that the game be played on De-
cember s. it would be too great q con-
ccssion for a champion team to make,
ed he is supported in this at the col
lege. If. however, the matter is COM
promised so that the game be played on
December J., Princeton feels that the
loss of Thanksgiving Day to the Tigers
should be made up by playing the game
at Manhattan Field. If the garne should
go anywhere else on December 1, the
receipts would be smaller than if it
took place in Harlem, and. as it is,
thc-o will be a great falling off in the
amount of money taken in If the battle
does not occur on Thanksgiving Day.
In other words, Trenchard says:-"If
wa agree to give up Thanksgiving Day,
Yele must consent to play us at Man
haitian Field"
The position taken by Captain Hinkey
OF the Yale team with reference to
playing the P~rinceton-Ya1e game, is not
wholly an idea of his own. For several
years the faculty have admonished the
students against acts of lawlessness in
New York City.
IT is q time-honored custom at Yale
fe- the faculty not to interfere with the
management of the athletic organiza-
tons as long as college work is not in
terfered with. The Thanksgiving Day
game in New York. however, has long
had the disapproval, of the faculty and
corporation of the university, who lay
worked quietly. among the athletic lead
o-s with a. view of stopping the riotous
scenes following the game in New York
without coming out fatty and stopping
It. It is a fact that the faculty desire
a return of the old scheme of playing
games in this city, and at Princeton
and Harvard on alternate years.
