YALES IN GREAT FORM.
Crowd Of $4,000 Go Wild Over
the Work Of Butte rWorth
and HinGey.
PLAYED IN DRI ZZLING RAIN.
Police Warnings Evidenced
in the Small Number Of
Casualties.

NEW YORK, Dec. lin spite of the
rain and cold today Manhattan field was
crowded. as it usually is on Thanks
giving day at the football game between
ale and Princeton, and fully $4,000
within and without the grounds saw
PrincetOn'S cOlOrs dragged in the mud
and snow for score of 24 to 0. 1t was
a miserable day, cold and raw. Prince
ton was outplayed from the beginning
to the end. Rarely was the ball in Yale
territory, and then only for a few Sec
OndS. when it was either rushed out of
danger or punted far down the field by
ButterWOrth. The rest of seven days
had done wonders for the Yale men,
and they went into the game as though
the Harvard game had been a month
away instead OF only a week. The i'm
proVement was remarkable, especially
i'll the case of Butterworth, for he
bucked the line with all his old-time
vlgor, and his punting was as good as
at any time in his career, in spite of the
fact that the ball was slippery and hard
TO hold. Little fumOling was seen on
the Yale side, and the men were gen>
orally sure catches. On the other hand,
Princeton did not seem able to do any
thing with the ball when they had 1t.
Time and time again Butterworth'S
punts were missed by Poe, and only his
fumbies resulted in touchdown.
Not the Old-Time Princetons
The team which lined up against Yale
was not for an instant to be compared
With that OF year ago. and Yale did
better. This tells the whole story. AS
there were only about $1,000 seats for
double the number who wanted to see
the game, the scramble for good stand
ing room was great. In half an hour
after the gates had been thro wn open
the best standing room had been taken,
and late comers had TO take their places
in the outside OF fringe of hu manity
which lined the whole field. The seats,
too. were filling up rapidly, and those
who had been SO fort unate as to secnre
places OH two covered stands were con-
graduating themselves at o'clock, for
the rain then began to come dow IN
real earnest. In the uncovered stands
it was impossible to sit down except
Ill pOOlo VI Wdt6I. duU lOOhlDR up 10 the
stands from the field it looked like q
great mass of mushrooms. Everybody
who could had hoisted umbrellas, and
as eighteen inches of room had been
given to each occupant of a seat, it was
manifestly impossible for all to put up
umbrellas.
Down on the field there was a SEX
tuple fringe of umbrellas; up Oh the
bluffs overlooking the grounds was
mass of umbrellas, and on the big via
duct, which is good place to view
game from distance, were more un-
brellas. Under such circumstances 1t
was not surprising that the enthusiasm
which was all ready to be sprung Oh
every play was dampened, and the
cheers and shouts by no means equal to
former years.
The Yale team arrived about l 80 p.
m. and went to dress in the club house.
while Princeton arrived soon after and
went to the polo grounds retiring quar-
ters. The teams came on the field amid
good solid roars at 2:O3. it was Just 2:O8
when the men faced each other for the
decisive contest of the year I'D this
