carly as the third inning the cold shivers began
"a crawl up and down the spNnes Of the Yale
lockers.
THE BRILLIANT HILLEBRAND
princeton won because her nine played harder
sharper and more aggressive game all around. The
Night particular star Hiebrand who pitched
a magnificent game. Hlllebrand is a brawny
youth He plays football, and has developed
muscles that apparently never tire. They did not
tire for moment yesterday, but the Yale men
grew weary and weak when they tried to face
his cannon-ball delivery. Hillebrand was not con-
tent with winning the most luxuriant laurels in
the box He gained glory also at the bat. making
three safe hits and bringing in whole lot Of runs
No wonder there was fierce struggle after the
game among the adoring Princeton undergrad

were desperately cordial in their reception 10 Mr.
Robertson. and in the sixth inning which was the
second in which they had hack at him, they
rapped out four singles and home run. That broke
Yale's heart and settled the game beyond hope Of
the most sanguine Yale mind Captain De Saues
tried to rally his men, but they could not do
thing with Hnlebrand and four was the top score
that they could reach.
A COLLEGE CROWD PRESENT.
The attendance at the game was first rate. when
n is considered that II almost wholly unadver-
tsed and that many old Yale and Princeton grads
were unaware that the final baseball struggle was
AZ hand The covered stands were well filled. and
there was a brilliant array Of coloring The orange
OF old Nassau was dominant everywhere. and com
pletely overshadowed the rather sombre blue OF
Yale The Princeton rooters. about fifteen hundred
strong punched themselves back OF and 10 the
right Of the plate and in that part of the stand
matters were kept going at lively rate. The en-
tire repertory OF Princeton chorus and song was
sung religiousy and with fervor that was beau
tiful 10 behold. The songs were not always com
plmentary TO Yale. but they invariably set forth
the advantages 10 be derived from being Prince
ION man. and under the circumstances this was
eminenty proper.
None Of the features that mark the usual college
game were absent; there were the innumerable
small boys at the gates, with their arms full Of
dingy blue and yellow flags resurrected from
dusty past; there the score-card promoter,
trying TO sell q few names printed piece of
paper for % cents and there the popular
peanut man. who did a thriving trade-for the
wicked Princeton sophomores. who were freshmen
last week. consumed peanuts reckessly and riot
