Princeton out-punted Mcbride in almost
| every exchange Of kicks, but in no 9TH
er respect did the Jersey men demon
sIrate a superiority.
Certainly more than two-thirds of the
$4,000 spectators that gathered ABOUT
the arena this afternoon expected TO
see Yale defeated. II was believed that
the eleven OF Old Nassau would present
line as formidable to Yale as a gran
ite wall, while the heavyweights in the
Princeton center were counted on to
brush the Yale forwards aside at VIII
when the offensive play demanded IT.
1t was expected that the swift runners
behind the Tigers would circle Yales'
Ysle's ends and pillow through her
tackles repeatedly while Yale's light
backs were not looked upon as likely to
pass Cochran and Craig. Man for man
and pound for pound, the elevens had
been compared on paper and the pro-
phets could see only Princeton victory.
But the football generals had reckon
ed without their host. The game of
week ago apparently was but excellent
train for the ELS.
The injuries Of the Princeton men
DOUBTLESS had much to do with their de-
feat If they had been in perfect con-
dition the teams would probably have
played each other to a standstill. The
absence Of Kelley from the Jersey ranks
in the first half was also felt.
The pilgrimage to the grounds be-
gan early. When the contestants ap-
peared on the field the high tiers Of
seats that framed the field were filled
with expectant and anxious people. In
the east stand We're gathered most of
the Yale ''rooters' and there was hard
ly dash of any color but blue visible
there. Across the field, IN the west,
Princeton's cohorts were congregated,
and the alternating stripe Of yellow and
the contrasting black We're more brill
liant than the blue on the opposite side.
In the center section of this stand al
most opposite ever spectator carried
Princeton flag, and as they waved. now
in time with the incessant song Of the
Jersey boys, and then quickly, madly.
as a b rilliant play started the cheers,
they made the eqe sparkle, and the
pulse quicken.
In thenorth and south stands blue
predominated.
The gridiron was in wonderfully good
condition. The turf, which had been
protected from the snow and rain by a
covering of straw, was firm and hard,
and gave the players good footing.
The two elevens We're a few minutes
late in making their appearance upon
the ground, but when they trotted
through the gates into the arena pande-
monium reigned.
The members OF the TWO elevens tu7n-
bled about the gridiron for a few min
utes Then the coin was tossed, Prince
ton won and chose the north goal, With
the wind at their backs, the whistle was
blown and ti1es truggle was on.
The tackles On the Yale team We're
slightly superior to Princeton, while
the ends were TAR and away ahead Of
the Tigers. Hall and Hazen went down
on all the kicking like lightning, while
Cochran. Lathr0p and Craig were pain

suit of catching cold. which will soon
derange the nervous system, because OF
the intimate connection between the
nervous system ana the capillary blood
vessels. Therefore, Ii is a fact never
20 be forgotten, that no one can have
catarrh long without being in danger
OF becoming nervous (even nervous
prostration) nor can any one have weak
nerves any length OF time without be-
ing in danger of acquiring chronic ca
tarrh, as the direct result of weakness
of the vasa-motJr system OF nerves.
The weak nerves may be the cause and
the catarrh the effect, or vice versa
the catarrh may oe the cause and the
weak nerves the effect. Let US ask our
selves again, then. what have weak
nerves TO do with catarrh? Our reply
would be: Weak nerves have very
much to do with chronic catarrll. They
may be the cause or the effect; but
they are very sure TO be one or the
other
Does this answer your question sat-
isfactorily?"
Entirely So" the reporter replied. II
am sure you have made the subject 50
plain that any one could understand it.
Now l would like to have you tell me
what your internal treatment for
chronic catarrh is at tine Surgical Ho-
tel
The Doctor replied: "Oh. 1 suppose
it is already well known that We use
Pe-ru-na as our principal if not sole in
ternal treatment for chronic catarrn.
We have come to think that little else
but Pe-ru-na is needed in any case of
chronic catarrh, unless some organic
change mas become involved in the dis
eased process"
The reporter asked: But what is this
remedy Pe-ru-na, Doctor? Is il a
panacea for all the ills Of life. or
what?''
The Doctor replied: II would prefer
to have DR.. Foster of our medical staff
answer that question for you. 1t is
more directly in the line with his depart
ment.'
The questions was repeated 10 DR..
Foster, who answered: NO, sir; Pc
Iu-na is not cure-al. Nothing of the
sort is claimed for it; indeed there is No
such medicine. Pe-ru-na cures cstarrh
wherever located in the body by the
specific action on the vasa-motor sys-
TEN of nerves. These nerve. control
every blood-vessel of rile body. Tegulat-
ing exactly the amount Of blood which is
