 Features of tho Game--A Game Struggle.
 Football games seem to be drawing good weather this year, despite the prevailing rule in former years, and yesterday dawned clear and bright to the great delight of freshmen and oth- CTS interested in their game with Princeton. The Yale freshman team Is a strong one and had not been beaten this year, so a good Yale game was promised for yesterday. This promise was kept and Yale enthusiasts had the pleasure of seeing the youngster de- lenders of old Ellis honor walk ever their orange and black rivals in truly ice wagon style.
 When the game was called at 245 the bleachers were all filled, while the crowd around the ropes was of unusual magnitude for a home game. There We're also many carriages, one carriage party being that of Captain Thorne, who seemed to take as much interest in the freshmen's work as he has in the 'varsity's scrimmages. He was probably sizing them up for positions on the varsity of 96. He was on the field considerable and gave the fresh men advice at critical points in the game.
 One thing In his appearance struck those who knew as peculiar and that was that he was smoking a pipe, an article tabooed to him until after last Saturdays game, as smoking is not allowed while In training.
 Yale was not so lucky yesterday, as usual. in winning the toss, which went to Princeton, but 'tlhis was of little consequence, as not much advantage could be gained from choice of position since there was neither sun nor wind to interfere with any plays Princeton chose the south end of the field and on the kick-off punted down to Yale's 30-yard line where Wright caught and by artful lodging carried the ball back to the 45-yard line, Then began a struggle. For few minutes the tus- sle was in Yale's territory, but this
 was only for short time, as by tre- mendous showing and working Prince | tOIl S llSulL Gl!u 1dIp IOTCeQ VIle Ddll back over the center in Princeton's yard. Then Princeton tried working ends and made a few assaults on Con- nor, Yale's right end, but here every thing was solid as a wall and the tac- tics were transferred to Greenway at right end. Here for a short time Princeton made gains, but Benjamin
 began to get stubborn and skilfully re- pulsed the onslaughts, so that from that time on Princeton had yet a chance wherever she could find an un- guarded point. Fiercely the teams struggled back and forth nearly all the time i'm Princeton's territory until fin- ally when Yale had the ball and was | striving might and main to drive it across the goal line the players went into heap over a down. Suddenly
 from the mass of moving legs and arms a figure shot forth and before the play
 CTS realized hardly what was being done Harvey YaIle's left half back, had touched down. Then Yale cheers and shouts from the ''bourgos" rent the air in ia perfect saIvo of applause The capsheaf was put in by Hine kicking
 the goal and making the score GO in favor of Yale freshies. After the line up things went "anyone's bal' for 8 time, when Yale began slowly to gain and steadily got nearer Prin1et ems goal Greenway was at last showed
 over the line for a touchdown, from which iHine kicked pretty goal Score 12-0 In favor of Yale. The teams lined up again and Yale had got well into the game for another touchdown when
 time was called with the ball on Prince toms 25-yard line.
 In the second half the Nassau boys plainly showed that they were in to win if Herculean efforts could success fully compete with Yale strength, pluck and bull dog determination to do or die. By tremendous play Prince
 ton made gain after gain, not much at a time to be sure, but sure neverthe- less. Yale contested with given valor every inch of the ground, but nothing could withstand the desperate cn- slaught of their opponents. Yale was forced back to the very goal posts and onlool1ers could hardly tell whether
 the ball was over touch 0r not SUI Yale stood off the almost certain touch- down until bya gainof only a few inches Princeton crowded Band over the line and Cobb kicked the goal. The crowd spplauded in chivalrous manner. The game now became one of deter imitation on either side, but Ellis sons must have had g. little the more deter imitation, for they made the men from Nassau give way and by continued slight gains gradually worked the ball down to Princeton's 5-yadd line and Benjamin touched down off at one side of the goal posts. The goal was an extremely difficult one to kick and that Hine missed it was not to be wondered at. There was only about five minutes longer before time was called up and neither team appeared to be trying to do more after the last lineup than to pass away the few remaining minutes. Neither side scored again and the final score remained 16-6 in favor of Yale The play of Mcfarland for Yale was fine and the openings he made in the Princeton line were large enough for the prOverbial ice wagon. Yale's play was in nearly every respect su- perior to that of Princeton. The lat ter team did not play a steady game, but in the first of the second half made spasmOdic spurts, Yale's bunting and running was especially good.
