New York, Nov. 2s-One OF the great
est football games ever played on any
field took place to-day between the
elevens OF Yale and Princeton. Fully
q, 900 people witnessed the contest and
the enthusiasm Increased from the time
the ball was first kicked off until time
was called at rhe end of the second
half, when the score stood 20 to 10 in
Yale's favor. AS early as 10 o'clock
the crowd began to assemble about the
gates of the great athletic place at
One Hundred and Fffty-fifth street and
Eighth avenue and steadily Increased
I'm proportion until the portals were
thrown open at 1880 o'clock when there
was a mighty rush on the part of the
waiting enthusiasts for the best posi-
tions on the field. BY the time the
game was started not a vacant seat
remained In any of the grand stands
and hardly standing room. 1t was
D. m. when the Princeton team. headed
by their disabled. but plucky captain.
entered the enclosure. Then the crowd
broke loose and such a roar of applause
as greeted the players has seldom been
equalled. The Sons of Ell came into
the arena directly after the Prince
ton players and they. too, received an
ovation. Captain Thorne won the toss
and chose the eastern goal. giving his
rival the ball. Captain Lee placed the
ball at the center OF the gridiron for
the kick-off and the leather sailed away
over the heads OF the Yale players.
The star player in to-day's struggle
was the hght4haired captain OF the
Yale team, and he covered hdmself with
glory. The manner In which he bucked
the tiger line was phenomenal. as were
his long runs around the ends. Time
and again-h received the pigskln from
Baird's punts and advanced the ball
for long gains and once he started from
the Princeton 65-yard line and CARRIED
the ball to a atouchdownthrough the en-
tire Princeton contingent. with prach-
cally no interference. Finicke was also
a ground gamer for Yale and played a
good game at the quarterback position.
When Bass broke through the Prince
ton line and secured the heather on a
tumble by Lea. he made the most brill
liant and effective play of the game.
for he was able to run away from the
pursuers and made a touchdown. after
covering 90 yards. Langdon Lea, the
captain Of the tiger team, put up a
plucky fight during the first half. but
was largely handicapped by his weak
shoulder, and was forced 20 give his
place to Thompson soon after the sec
ond half opened. Rosengarten made a
pretty run OF 20 yards after having re-
ceived the ball from a punt and Arm

the Yale line. The game was remark

one being tried by the tigers who tried.

avail. and made several short gains on
fall kicks. but aside from that the play
ing was straightforward. old-fashioned
football.
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 It had been predicted.
