played it's last game OF the season on the
Riperview grounds on Saturday after
noon, and a. more creditable finish OF
the seasons work could not have been
desired. The opppsing eleven was tho
Haverford College team which had made
such a good record through the season
with heavier teams than the one which
represented Delaware College, and it
was the general opinion that the Della
ware boys would not be in it with the
Pennslyvanians. However. such was not
the case. Delaware was in ii from start
to finish. and had it not boon for two
OF three unfortunate fumbies 10 the
first half, 1t is doubtful whether tho
visitors would have scored. In fact it
Ia hardly likely that they would. The
fumbles were eScusable, as the ball was
extremely slippery and hard to handle.
The playing of tho two teams, which
was first class, was pretty even, and
had the weather conditions boon pro.
pitious, fine game would have been
the result. Even as it was, the contest
was we'll worth looking at, and the few
people who braved the elements were
delighted. The Delaware College team,
which is rather light, has been con-
siderabiy handicapped during the
season, and for that reason has not
made very good showing, but il the
boys can start out next fall in tho
manner in which they closed the season
OF 1896, they can cope with any of the
minor college teams. The lineup in
Saturdays game was as follows:

| THE BIG COLLEGE GAMES.
| New York, N. Y, Now 90. The
great Princeton Yale football game
attracted about %, 600 people TO Man
haitian field yesterday afternoon, and.
Notwithstanding the fact that the CON
test was exciting from start to finish,
the Princeton boys won by score OF
"a TO 6. The representatives of old Eli
need not be ashamed of their defeat.
| The pluck that kept them up to the
line against team obviously too heavy
for them, and that neryed them to dis
pute the ground foot by foot with Their
conquerors, was the grand quality that
makes men heroes. The brilliant play
that gave Yale a touchdown and goa
within few minutes after play wal
called, was but the prelude to thu
logged persistence with which the,
hurled themselves against the solit
wall OF Princeton for the rest of tn,
game. The teams lined up as follows
