Princeton's Much Wanted Defense

From Rough Play and sIugEing.
New York, Nov. 23.-Yale defeated
Princeton to-day for the 18th time during
the TWO decades OF foot ball history be
tween the two universities. When time
was called at the end Of two 35-minute
halves the big score board on the north
side of Manhattan field Indicated that Yale
had won by 20 points to her opponents TO-.
it was one of the greatest matches ever
played between the two rivals, and until
tho ball had been in play for sometime IL
was q question OF great uncertainty which
team would come or victorious. But II
much wanted defense was not
standing the battering the Yale
backs were giving it. on the
other hand her backs proved somewhat
better than had been expected, and es-
pecially in the matter of kicking, when
neither side could be said to have much
the advantage. The game, however, can
not be considered a kicking game in COM
parisOn with previous games of the year.

The day of the twentieth annual foot
pail game between the colleges dawned
clear and bright outstanding the
prediction of the weather bureau, that the
weather might be bad.
Scarcely a cloud obscured the sky dur
ing the morning, but as the time for the
game drew near a thin haze drifted over
the battle ground so that neither side
had the disadvantage of facing the sun.
Dame nature also favored the warriors
in the matter of wind, there being scarce
~ enough breeze TO have any effect on
the bail.
The excitement over the contest com
menced early Friday night. The college
cCntingents began to arrive early, and
all day and far into the night one could
scarcely see across Broadway without
seeing a crowd of foot ball men eagerly
discussing the chances of the two teams.
Until a late hour at night, the lobbies
and barrOOmS of the leading hotels were
filed with the college men. Consider
able money was wagered at odds of to
4, with few at to /. One bet of $1,000
TO $500 was laid by Yale men last night
at the Waldorf, and the entire amount
was soCn covered by Princeton.
AT o'clock there was scarcely a seat
on the grand stands which was not &C.
cupled, while a surgng mass of some
G,0UO souls surrounded the gridiron on both
sides. At this time, the viaduct had been
crowded to it's fullest capacity for some
time. The place known as Deadhead Hill,
to the east of the field was at a premium
to-day admittance TO this quarter being
valued al 30 cents per head. And there
were at least 1900 or more who awaited
themselves of its privileges. Altogether
fully 5000 or 10000 people Witnessed the
struggle.
The conduct of the players was on the
whole of most gentemanly character
and worthy Of the stand that the two
colleges take in behalf of pure athletics.
What smuggling there was or whatever in
jury any player received was due to ac-
cident rather than intent. The fact thar
