New YoRK. Dec. lin spite Of the
rain and cold, today. Manhattan field
was crowded % it usually is when there
is = football game between Yale and
Princeton, and $4,000 people within and
without the grounds saw the Prince
toms colors dragged In the mud and
snow for . score OF "a to O. It was q
miserable day, cold and raw. Princeton
was outplayed from the beginning to
the end, and rarely was the bali in
Yale's territory, and then only for q
few secouds, whom it was either rushed
out of danger or was 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
~ though the Harvard game had been q
month away instead OF only week
their improvement was remarkable and
especially in the case OF Butterworth,
for no bucked the line with sll his old-
time vigor. and his punting was az good
90 at any time in his career. in spite Of
the fact that the ball was slippery and
hard to hold. Little fumbling was seen
on the Yale side and the men were gen.
orally sure catchers. On the other hand.
Princeton did not seem to be able to do
anything with the ball when they had
is. Time and time again Butterworth's q
punts we're missed by Poe, and once his
tumble resulted in Q touch down.
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.
SOAKED SPECTATORS.
Az there were only about Ii. 600 seats
for double that number who wsnted to
see the game. the scramble for good
standing room WAS great. In half an
hour after the gates had been thrown
open the best standing room had ali
been taken and ths later comers had to
take their places on the outside of .
fringe of humanity which lined the
whole field. At ! O'Clock rain began
to come down in such torrents that in
the uncovered eeats it was impossible
to sit down except in q pool OF water,
and looking at tho stand from left field
il looked like great macs OF mush-
rooms. Every body who could hoisted
an umbrelIa. and 80 Is inches of room
had been allotted each occupant Of q
seat it was manifsstly impossible for
all to put up umbrellas.
Down the field there was q sextuple
fringe Of umbrellas. Upon tho bluffs
overlooking the ground was mass OF
umbrellas. and on the big viaduct, " hich
is great place to view . game from q
distance, were great many moro um-
brellas. Under such circumstances it
wac not surprising that the enthusiasm
which was ready to be- sprung on every
play WAS dampcned, and the cheers and
shouts would by no means equal those
OF former years.
Soon after the opening a Princeton
decked tally-ho rolled into the grounds.
Soon after came two others, but they
were covered with the blue of Yale.
Then Q little later followed two more
Yale coaches and another Princeton
tower on wheels. They lined up at the
rear of tho so special private boxes on
the north side OF tho field. These pri-
vate boxes. which occupied the choicest
position Tor viewing the game. being
within 15 feet Of the gridiron, were en-
tirely uncovered and without protection
from the storm.
At one end OF the field and almost
under the elevated railway station,
grsndstand A, divided into five sections
of reserved seats. was without shelter.
The same was true OF the stand on the
west end Of the field, skirting the south.
east corner OF the field, and sweeping
along the southern side were the per-
manent grandstands with orchestra
chairs and good. solid roofs. Those who
held tickets to these seats wore smiles
despite the weather, and were the only
ones who could. A heavy fringe OF
men, four or five deep, hung upon the
fence and the press and ooachers quar-
ters. Around the west end of the
grounds swept the rocks OF Carmans-
vile Heights. and on these rocks seats
had been placed as might be. for rental
at so cents each. Around the gridiron,
and just within It's boundary fence,
policemen under command of Inspector
Conlin were stationed at every 10 feet of
space. They early became drsRgled,
and at the beginning Of tho game were
fairly soaked with rain.
The Yale team arrived at about / 80
p. m. and went to dress in the club
house, while Princeton arrived soon
after and went to the polo grounds re-
firing rooms. The teams came on the
field amid roars at 2:03.
