WEST PorNr. Oct l7.-An enthusiastic crowd
Of about 5000 persons gathered on the plain
this afternoon to witness the football game be-
tween Princeton and the West Point cadets.
Rain began to fall steadily about O'Clock, and
continued throughout the game but did not
dampen the ardor OF the players or the specta-
tors. Tho Princeton men. thirty-6vs strong,
arrived at the Point about 1880 o'clock,
and spent tho morning watching the cav
airy drill on the plain and visiting the build
ines OF tho Academy. At o'clock they dined
at the training table In Grant Hall with tho
Weat Point team. About 3 O'Clock Capt. Coch-
ran led his men on the field. where they INDUCED
in is minutes practice. Promptly at $3.50
o'clock tho Lieut.. Smelling. referee, tossed a
coin and Connnr wUn the choice, taking the ball
and the south goal. There was practically no
wind blowing so neither team had an advantage
OF goals.
After tho ball had been put into play Romeyn
kicked to Prlnceton's ten-yRrd line. The ball
was caught by Baird, who was downed by VIII
linms before he had gained Ave yards On the
first lineup Baird punted to Romeyn. who
fumblcd. but fell on the ball. West Points
next play was kick, but Helntzenan al
lowed Cochran to get by him. and thus
interfersd with Romeyn to such an ex-
tent that his punt was short and
low. II was now Princcton's ball on West
Points forty-flve yard line, and by means of
steady gains, principally by revolving play on
West Points right, the ball was gradually
pushed down to the latter's twenty-yard line.
Here the cadets took brace. held the tigers in
check. and secured the ball on four downs
Romeyn then punted we'll down the field to
RosenEarten. who fumbled. but Church fell on
tho ball. Reiter then started to run around the
