DEFEAT OF PRINCETON.
Columbia Does the Trick i'm a Fine
Game by Six to Five.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Before nearly
5000 people the Columbia football eleven
to-day defeated Princeton by a score Of
6 to 5 on Columbia field. 1t one of the
fiercest games seen here, and from the
kickoff was full of fine team work and
good individual plays. The interference of
both teams was good. Roper, Princeton,
furnished the sensation of the game. In a
scrimmage he got the ball from Berrien, on
a tumble and made a run of forty-five
yards for touchdown, planting the ball
squarely behind the goal posts. In the
try at goal however, Roper, who held the
ball for Mills, touched it down prematurely
and the Columbia men rushed on and stop
ped the place kick, thus depriving Prince
ton of the possibility of a goal, though
this technicality seldom has been taken
advantage of.
Great crowds Of people packed the grand
stands the viaduct which covered the field
and the hills to the west. The supporters
of each team had their ranks reinforced
with numerous large megaphones and CO.
lumbia kept a band playing popular airs
all through the game. Princeton, although

CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-Prohibition National
Chairman Oliver W. Stewart said tonight:
1.-The outcome of the election is no sur
prise nor is it a disappointment. The cleo
ton of Mckinley will tend TO focalize the
sentiment Of the people on the saloon ques-
ton. He Is committed TO the canteen policy
and the liquor interests in our foreign
possessions. and his election will have the
effect Of bringing the liquor question to
an issue. The Prohibitionists look on the
Democratic party i'm recent years as a sort
of sham which stood in the way of re-
form. We feel in better shape now TO press
the fight against liquor than II Bryan had
been the successful candidate. If Bryan
