GAME WITH PRINCETON
The faithful who follow the fortunes Of the sturdy
fellows in the football battles focked TO Manhattan
Field in goodly numbers yesterday 20 see the game
between the Yale University and Orange Athletic
Club Lively interest was felt in the str,g-
gle. for II was the last that the brawny sons
OF Old Ell would play before they would meet
Princeton In the battle for the intercollegiate cham
pionship Then the followers Of Yale did no, be-
lieve that their team had as yet shown their real
strength this year. and they argued that the game
would come nearer doing that than any other con-
ses; had done this season
Oranges splendid battles earlier in the fall and
her more recent drawn game with Princeton served
10 sharpen the football appetite and a right royal
battle was expected Then. as Orange had prac.
tlcally abandoned all hope Of meeting the Crescents
in their game for the Amateur Union football champ
onshlp in order 10 meet Yale yesterday the support
crs OF the stripes argued that the from New
Jersey would be sure 10 give good account OF
themselves.
The attendance would have been most encourag-
ing II all the people who the game had been
inside the grounds. 1t is doubtful II half Of that
crowd went through the formality Of purchasing
tickets, for the crowds the vaduct and the
slopes OF Coogans Hill larger than ever, and
must have numbered fully three thousand. while the
number OF people in the grounds probably five
those "deadhead" places OF vantage they had ap-
parently forgotten the promises made.
The game was good one TO look at in spite of
the fact that the college boys rather easily by
the score OF 26 to o. Whether Yale exerted her full
strength at that is doubtful. though the victory
certainly much easier than Yale
pected. The Orange followers prepared 10
wager goodly sums that their team would score
but they could find takers While the Yale en-
thusiasts did not like that form of wager. they

roll up 20 points against Orange. This equally
dis;asteful 70 Orange. and result there ives
practically betting.
ORANGE NEVER DANGEROUS
Orange really not dangerous at any point
OF the battle. and her offensive work lam
entably weak for team containing much weight

minutes. but after that Yale had everything her
own way On the game Of yesterday that row with
Sc Crescents is probably a fortunate thing for
orange for on that form she would have no chance
against the men who burrow in the mud at Eastern
Park
FEEL highly delighted with the all-round play by
Captain Thorne and his pucky army of toughened
athletes Yae's real power is In her packs and in
her offensive style Of play. Behind the line she

show they are pretty TO make ground when the

was FIRST class and his passing was good through

backs.
An adrnirer OF Yale said after the game that he
considered that Yale fully 80 per cent stronger
than Princeton in offensive work, and he thought
that was what would tell when the two teams
come together next Saturday He admitted that
Yale was none too strong the line but argued that

The game they stood around with broad looks OF
satisfaction on their faces-n professional baseball
II would have been called grin
We have no reason to fear anything that Yale
has done so far" said the ex-manaser OF the
Princeton team. but then Yale does not always
show all O. her tricks and Captain Thorne may
have something up his sleeve
That look OF confidence disappeared from the
faces Of the Princeton the battle grew
warmer and many CT Princetons strongest sup
norters admitted efter the game that Yale had
rlaved in better form than they had expected
Men who week ago were willing 10 wager oods
that Princeton would defeat Yale are likely 10 veer
around a little and ask for even money. Chadwicks
work was superb and Yales strong man probably
never before showed to better advantage None OF
tho men were badly hurt. and Yale ought TO put
her team on the field on Saturday in as good con-
dition as her friends could wish
