NEW HAVEN, CONN, November D.--
Yale. 6; Princeton, 0. The score tells
briefly the story OF the greatest athletic
football game Yale ever saw. The VIC
tory for the Blue was as fair as 1t was
complete, and as brilliant as 1t was
surprising. Except in kicking. Yale's
stalwart men ouGplayed the Tigers In
every department of the game. Baird,
OF Princeton, outpunted Mcbride in al
most every exchange OF kicks, but in no
other respect did the Jerseymen demon
strate a superiority.
Certainly, more than two thirds of the
1900 spectators that gathered about the
area this afternoon expected to see Yale
defeated. The Princeton men were sure
Of it. and the most hopeful Yale en-
thusiasts dared only to express a con-
fidence that the Blue would acquit itself
creditably, and hold the Princeton score
down.
1t was believed that the eleven OF
Old Nassau would present line as
formidable to Yale as granite wall,
while the heavyweights in the Princeton
centre were counted on to brush the
Yale forwards aside at will. when Often
sive play demanded II. 1t was expected
that the swift runners behind the
Tigers line would circle Yales ends,
and plough their way through the
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
4x.1 -
phets could see only Princeton VIC
tory. But the football generals had
reckoned without their host. The game
Of a week ago apparently was but ex-
cellent training for the ELS. They have
been improving every day since, and
that uncertainty which makes the sport
attractive was demonstrated when the
eleven young athletes wearing the proud
Blue, inexperienced In great battles,
lighter in weight, and lacking their con-
fidence, met their opponents at every
point, and humbled them in the dust.
TIGERS DISABLED.
The injuries Of the Princeton men
doubtless had much to do with their
defeat. II they had been in perfect
condition, the teams would probably
have played to a standstiil. The abb
In the first half was much felt. Had he
been In the battle In its early stages. the
result might have been different.
Some changes in policy might have
gained ground for Princeton. but the all
around superiority of Yale could not
have been overcome easily. The tackles
on the Yale team we're also slightly
superior to Princeton's. while the ends
were far and away ahead Of the Tigers.
Hall and Hazen went down on all the
kicking like lightning, while Cochran,
Lathrop, and Craig were painfully slow,
and to this was, no doubt. due the long
runs of DeSaulles. Baird played well
while he lasted, and ran the team with
a good idea of the plays, but DeSaulles
was nearly his equal, and far superior
to Burke.
Back of the lines Dudley was the
shining star. while Benjamin and Ban
nard were about on par, for neither
seemed at his best Again, as long as he
lasted, Baird gained a greater distance
on punts than Mcbride, but the latter
outkicked Wheeler.
