TIGERS WON FROM YALE
A Bitterly Contested Game on
Brokaw Field.
BRILLIANT RUN BY POE
A Yelling Mass OF Humanity Chesred
the Princeton Right End-Excite-
ment Ran High-The Score
Was 9 to o.

Princeton, N. j., Nov. 1.-THE
Princeton Tigers defeated the sons of
Old Eli on Brokaw field this afternoon
by the score OF 6 to o. While IL was
one Of the most bitterly contested
field, II was at the same time one of
the most unsatisfactory not alone to
the Yale team and their supporters,
but also to the wearers of the orange
and black and those who cheered them
on to victory. The solitary touchdown
was made on a miserable tumble by
Right Halfback Benjamin, when the
ball was within Is yards OF Princeton's
goal. The ball had been carried down
the field by the Yale team by steady
plunges into the Princeton line, varied
by an occasional end run, until 1t lay
between Princeton's 20 and 25 yard
lines.
The teams lined up and Desaulles
signalled for Benjamin to go through
left tackle. a position in Princeton's
line which was awfully weak. The
ball was passed and Benjamin dived
into the mass of humanity. A second
later the ball was seen to roll clear
of the bunch of players and advance
few feet towards Princeton's goal
line. Quick as a flash Poe, the Tigers
right end, had gathered up the ball
and was sprinting down the neld with
Chamberlain. Stillman and Benjamin
in hot pursuit. The further he ran the
greater was he in the lead until, in
less time than 1t takes to write 1t he
had planted the ball squarely between
the posts of the much-coveted goal of
Yale. When Poe started on his 90
yard run up the field the scene which
followed beggared description. The
entire stands which surrounded the
field were one surging, yelling mass of
humanity In an instant. Old men and
women threw dignity aside for the
time being and Joined with the young
er but none the less enthusiastic foot
ball cranks in their cheers for Poe and
Princeton.
1t was several minutes before the
game could proceed, on account of the
jubilant Tigers supporters crowding
onto the field. Later in the game,
when the excitement ran high, specta-
tors who had seats in the grandstand
left their places and surged on the
side lines. the management making no

game was almost a repetition of the
game at Cambridge on last Thursday
between the University of rennsylva-
MIA and Harvard. In the latter game
the wearers Of the red and blue gained
almost three times as much distance
on bucking as did their opponents,
while Harvard scored on a tumble.
The same can be said of to-day's con-
test. Yale would carry the ball down
he rd he
to lose II on an exasperating tumble.
On one occasion Yale carried the ball
by plunges into the line Is yards, final
ly losing II on a tumble within 20
yards OF the Princeton goal.
Princeton was content to play on the
defensive until within about Is min
utes before the game was called, and
IL looked as though they had been in
structed in this point by their coaches.
Their entire effort at line bucking dur
ing the first half and for 20 minutes
OF the second half netted them all told
about so yards, while. their opponents
had carried the ball four times this
distance. Yale's play in the main was
directed against Princeton's left tackle.
the one weak spot in the Tigers line.
The reports that had been sent out
from New York to the effect that the
Yale team was in a badly crippled con-
dition had but little effect on the bet
ting on to-day's game. The orange
and black had been up against Yale's
"cripples' and their spending money
had gone towards paying for the tut
tion of some Yale student. Before the
game there were several bets made at
even money. but a majority Of the
money was placed at to in favor
OF Yale. For the Princeton team the
bright particular stars We're Palmer,
Poe, Edwards. Ayres and Hildebrand.
while Townsend. Brown. Ely and Coy
did the best work for Yale.
When the teams lined up the attend
ance was about $1,000. with the ad-
herents of Princeton naturally in the
majority. There was no lack of Yale
men and women, however, and they
lifted up their voices in encouragement
of their favorites whenever opportu-
were banked in a solid mass in the
east stand opposite the Yale contin-
gent. and they kept up an untiring
shout for three hours. varied only oc-
casionally by a college song. The line
