Trenton, n. j., Nov. 1O.-The Inter State
fair grounds at Trenton were the scene to-
day of one of the greatest foot ball bat
ties that has ever been fought on Ameri-
can soil, in which the champion tigers of
/ Princeton, after a fierce struggle, sue
cumbed to the stocky eleven of the Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania, with a final score
| of u to 0. The day was a perfect one for
foot ball, the air being just sharp and cool
| enough to inspire the players without
! chilling the spectators. Light clouds COW
! cred the glare of the sun. so that the %, 900
/ people who crowded the stands at 2 o clock
were all in the best of humor, anticipat-
/ ing a superb exhibition of their favorite
sport. In this they were not disappointed.
/ The field had been put in excellent shape.
1t was clean game, but one of the
| fercest games in the history of the sport,
/ and frequent delays were occasioned for
the rcsuscitating of an injured man
/ Princeton soon saw she was out-cIassed
by her Quaker opponents and her men
were reckless of themselves. The Prince
ton backs were greatly inferior to those
of the Pennsylvania eleven, and even the
Tigers much-lauded line, with the sim
gle exception of right guard and tackle,
were fairly out-classed.
It was just 2:25 o'clock when Referee
Bliss called the teams together. Prince
ton won the toss and chose the southern
goal with abrisk breeze to their backs,
Pennsylvania therefore had the ball
! Brooke kicked off, but the ball went out of
bounds and was brought back for another
trial. This time the Quaker fun back sent
it sailing to within ten yards of Prince
toms goal. Lea fumbled it, but recovered
quickly and carried it to the twenty yard
line. The tiger backs then tried to skirt
the ends of first one and then the other
but without gain, and Cochran had to kick.
It was a good punt and Brooke caught it
on Pennsylvania's thirty-f1ve yard line.
Osgood tried Trenchard's end, but Ward
got him without gain. Brooke then kicked
high to Poe on Princeton's forty-five yard
line. Wharton's knee was hurt in tack
ling Poe, but the plucky guard took his
place again in two minutes, and, though it
| bothered him badly all through the game,
he showed remarkable pluck and would
| not retire
Princeton this time tried her mass plays
on the tackles. Morse was sent through
| Woodruff for two yards and Wheeler
| through Wagonhurst for three more.
| That was every inch they could set
! through, and the bail was then lost on
downs. Osgood then ploughed through
between Lea and Taylor like a steam en-
sine and gained five yards. A mass play
| on Lea followed, but this was well met
and made no gain. The famous Woodruff
. interference mass play was then sent bat
tering into Smith. Lea saw the formation
first, though, and by getting over in front
of it stopped it beautifully.
On Trenchard's end it gained five yards
/ The ball was now on Princeton's 20-yard
line. The Quakers then tried the trick
which worked so well for them last year.
Brooke kicked to the side, and then
| charging forward, put the ball on side
and Rosengarten got it. He had carried
it five yards before he was downed by
| Poe. The ball was put twelve yards from
| Princeton's goal, and the red and blue
| banners began to wave furiously and
pennsylvania lHTOilS SplI with Cne6r-
| ing. Not daring to risk their running
backs against the Princeton quarter
passed the ball to Cochran. He punted
into Pennsylvania territory, but only 20
| have it quickly returned to Brooke. Coch-
ran kisked again.
The ball was Pennsylvania in the mid
die of the field. Knipe skirted Smiths
end for ten yards, when he was finely
/ tackled by Lea. Knipe fumbled and
Princeton got the ball She quickly re-
turned the compliment, though, and
Brooke dropped on the ball. By a fine Sc
ries of mass plays and a kick by Brooke
It was then advanced to Princeton's
thirty-yard line and then ensued one of
the most exciting parts of the game.
Princeton tried a hard kick. Cochran
| tried by kicking high to get ahead of it,
thus putting 1t on side, but the Quaker
backs interrupted his little game by a
| fine charge upon him, and Brooke got the
ball Knipe skirted Trenchard's end for
three yards. A fine series of mass plays
on center and tackles, and a few good
! end runs by Osgood brought the ball to
Princeton's eight yard line, A momen-
tum mass play formed so as not to con-
fict with the new rules surprised Prince
TONS line and the ball was downed only
two yards from her goal line.
The Pennsylvanians were wild. Their
players formed for the same play again
| There was suddenly a breathless stiffness
was the third down, and the last chance
Quarterback Williams gave the signals
and Brooke went into the line like can
non ball The veterans stood like wall
for a moment, then wavered and fell back
| Every one thought the ball was over, but
it was found to be six inches from the line
and the Princetonians breathed easier.
Princeton would not venture a line
plunge, and so Cochran kicked. The ball
hit the ground on Princeton's 4O-yard
line, and rolled between Osgood's legs
Smith dove after It like a hare and fell on
II before Osgood could recover
Cochran then kicked into Pennsylva-
MAS territory, but Brooke caught IT on
the 50-yard line. IL was soon back again
on the Princeton ground being sent 70 the
80-yard lire by a fine punt OF Brooke's
/ For the only time I'm the game Princeton
here succeeded IN making n good gain
around the Quaker end. IL was made by
a double pass. Poe passed 10 Morse, who
quickly returned it % him and interfering
for him, got around Rosengarten for
/ twenty yards.
