NEW YORK. Nov. H.-'Princeton!
''Prlnceton-" Princeton and with q
mighty shout, that grew in volume and
rolled like the flotsam and jetsam on
the edge Of the incoming tide, the thou-
sands who lined the fence around Man

thousands on the stands. and from thence
through the murky atmosphere, the bat

who lined the viaduct overlooking all

a rush on both sides, a confused mass
Of arms and lees. The referee blew his
whistle. and the mass slowly disinte-
grated. Bass had fallen on the bol. and
