YALE AN EASY WINNER.
Princeton Beaten by Score of
TWenty-four to Nothing.

Twenty-four to Nothing.
A Game Played in the Rain and on a
Field of Mud--The Tigers Clearly OUT
classed from First to Last.
NEW YORK, Dec. lin spite of the rain
and the cold Manhattan Field was as
crowded yesterday as it usually is on
Thanksgiving Day at the football game
between Yale and Princeton, and fully
$1,000 people within and without the
grounds saw the Princetons colors dragged
i'll the mud and snow for score of "a to o.
For u few minutes the players tumbled
around in the water and mud, and then
Yale won the toss and gave the ball to
Princeton for the kickoff. From the time
tine first touchdown was made by Yale, II
matter of three minutes of actual play
after the game had begun. Princeton
seemed to lose heart. The goal was not
made as quickly as was the first goal
against Harvard but it was worked in
about the same way. Yale found that her
team was more than match for Princeton
on the first try. Princeton found that it
was worse than useless to leave Cochran in
the game, and 50 Barnard was called out
totake his place.
Princetons backs were her weak portion.
for although little Poe played fairly good
aggressive game, he fumDled the ball
twice, and i'll the other half Rosengarten
acted as if the ball was II chunk of ice.
There was little team play, and the line
wavered whenever it was struck by the
powerful backs of Yale. Princeton's
CENTRE which had been Dragged about
prior to the game, proved to be no match
for the solid line that Yale presented. and
McCrea and SULLIVAN made openings in it
whenever they wanted to. Princeton may
have been demoral2ed by the poor playing
of Its own captain, Trenchard, for in tack
ling ne several times lost ground. On the
contrary, Captain Hinckey of Yale, WAS
everywhere, and his catches OF punts and
the way he broke into Princeton's line
We're remarkable.
Blltterworth did some good kicking and
| punlinS, but not so good as had been ex-
Pected, while he made one bad tumble.
The Princeton backs got up the field i'll
good shape when their side kicked, and in
that respect showed themselves the equal
of the Yale backs. The frequent fumDles
were undoubtedly due to the slippery wet
| ball. In the second half the ball was on
| Princeton's ten.yard line, and it looked
like another touchdown in IL few minutes.
Bannard had TO punt while against the
back fence, aud WAS tackled, buG succeeded
i'll getting the ball out OF danger. 1t was
| splendid eifOrS and deserved the cheers it
| got.
Princeton twice attempted double pass,
| but the ball was fulnbled on the pass and
| one scrimmage and was laid out on the
| ground IN u blanket, and Inspector Conln
| walked over to the place TO ascertain if it
were serious. Murphy got up after awhile,
| however, but he was unable to continue i'll
| the game. and Chadwick took his place
| The fumblinS was considerable OH both
| sides in the second half, but Poe was the
chief offender. Butterworth showed no
| signs of the damage done at Springfield
and the rest of the team were in the best
Of condition when the game ended. They
tried number ofNtgicks. which they have
either learned since the game of week
igo, or which they had been unable to
bring into play against Harvard.
The whole game was played without the
slightest cause for complaint, and no
| rolghness was seen. The accidents which
happened were due TO the slippery field,
and good feeling prevailed during the
game. The players lined up as follows;
