New York. Nov. 3-One Of the greatest
football games ever played on any field
took place today between the elevsns Of
Yale and Princeton. Fully $3.50 people
witnesses the contest and the enthusiasm
increased from the time the hall was first
kicked on mill time was called al the end
OF the second half. when the score stood
- 10 ]. n Yale's favor. Yale Won the
toss and chose the eastern goal. giving
Princeton the bali. The star player in To-
days struggle was TIsorne. captain OF the
Yale team, and he covered himself with
CORY The manner IN which he bucked
the Tigers line Was phenomenal. as were
his long runs around the end. Time and
time again he received the ptgskin from
Baird's punts and advances the ball for
long gains, and once he started from the
Princeton ss-yard tine and carried the hall
10 a touchdown through the entire Prince
ton contingent. with practically 10 inter
ference. Finicke was also a ground gsines
for Yale, and played a good game AZ the
quarterback position. Notw ithstandrNg his
EghtneSs, he often succeeded In advancing
the bail With several OF the Tiger players
hanging upon him. When Bass broke
through the Princeton line and secured the
leather on a tumble by Lea, he made the
most brilliant and effective play u the
game. for ne was able 70 make a touchdown
after covering fifty yards Chadwick did
some remarkable work, as did Rogers and
Jerome.
Langtion Lee. the captain Of the Tigers.
put up a plucky fight during the first
half. but was largely handicapped by his
weak shoulder. and was forced 10 give
place 10 Thompson soon after the second
half opened. ~Rosengarten made a pretty
run of twenty yards after having received
the ball from a punt. and Armstrong did
some good work IN busking the Yale line.
When Armstrong was forced TO retire and
Kelly took his place the spectators were
treated TO a beautiful series OF plays by
that comparatively inexperienced player.
for II was largely through his efforts that
Princeton was able TO score the touch
down which was made by Baird. Rosen-
garten had been disqualified for smuggling
Louis Hinkey. and Barnard was put on
tire held to tai his pace. This player
ably supported Kelly. and must receive
part Of the credit which Princeton re-
caved for the brace they took in rushing
the ball from the Yale 35-yard line to the
touchdown. Thompson's substitute did the
best tackling Of the game. for he got
down the field on every kick. and often
tackled the ball before he had moved.
The game was remarkably free from trick
pays. The Tigers did try a double pass
or two. with little avail, and made several
short gains on fall kicks. but aside from
this the playing was straightforward, old
fashioned football, with a deal Of kicking
on the part of both teams. Baird made
numerous w~ell-played punts for Prince
ton. and Thorne and Jerrems lifted the
ball for Yale with never-failing accuracy.
once during the game Thorne attempted
10 kick a goal from the field. but his at
tempt failed, and the effort was never re-
peated- The strength of Princetons line
was considerably weakened by the changes
which were made TO allow Capt. Lea TO
play left end. while the Yale lines were
str1n eraP than At any other time during
the present season. The game was won
by the superiority Of the Yale backs over
those OF their rivals. and while the Yale
victory was much larger than II had been
predicted, & was won by the very fairest
playing. The game was considerably de-
layed by frequent trivial injuries, but the
contest was remarkably free from the ugly
features which characterized mucn of the
playing last year. Not a Yale man left
the field from beginning 10 md, and no
serious injuries were received by the
Princeton men who were forced TO retire.
Yale won the toss. and gave Princeton
the ball. Capt. Thorne chose the eastern
goal. There was hot work from the start.
Lea kicked off to De Witt, who was
tackled on Yale's 3o-yard line. Rosengar-
ten kicked a long liner 10 Finicke. who
was downed at the center of the field.
Jerrems returned the punt but the ball
went out OF bounds. and went as a first
down 10 Princeton. De Witt gained three
wards around the left end. and Jerrems
carried the ball through the line for one
ward. Rhodes was hurt in the rush. and
Capt. Lea drew his team aside and talked
10 them In a fatheTly fashion while
Rhodes was being resuScitated. The ball
was passed to Capt. Lea. who fumbled IL.
Bass grabbed IL and ran Princeton's 50
yard line and planted II directly between
the goal posts. Capt. ThOrne kicked the
goal. Score: Yale s. Princeton 0. Lea
kicked off again after a sCrimmage, and
time was called 70 give the doctors an op-
portunity TO plaster up Thorne. who was
badly hurt. but his pluck brought him
around very quickly, and when play was
resumed he tried TO buck the enter. He
did not succeed. and the bali went 10
Princeton. Thorne got the bah and forced
II through PriBceton's line and scored the
second touchdown Of the game ard kicked
the goal. Score: Vale T.. Princeton o.
From this time TO the emo Of the game
