Princeton Sustains Another Defeafand a Costly One.

Costly One. The Waterbury High school football eleven is practicing daily in prepara- tion for their game with Meriden at Yale field on Saturday. The local boys, though anticipating a hard and close ly fought game, are confident of win ming. Meriden will depend considera- ply upon, a kicking game. They have several good Sprinters and their ends are fast in getting down the field. Wa terbury will depend more upon line bucking and end plays. Meriden al ready shows signs of weakness for she has protested the playing of E. and NJ. Byrnes and Thompson. A large crowd from both cities will at tend the game in New Haven.
 Geneva, N. r., Nov 7.-The football record of 104 points was broken on Hobart field yesterday afternoon, when the Geneva High school defeated the Weedsport High school by the score of 109 to o.
 Providence, Nov 7.-Brown defeated Tufts yesterday to 5. The first half was a contest for blood, and every inch of ground was well earned. Brown clearly outplayed her opponents in the first half of the game. In the second half Tufts rallied and went through the big line in fine football style. Had the battle ended with the first half the game would have been a clean victory for Brown.
 Cambridge, Nov 7-MacMasters, Harvard's veteran trainer and a man who has been identified with one or another of the big college teams for the last ten years, considers Captain Daly of the Crimson eleven the best quarterback in the country and one of the best that ever wore football togs. MacMasters has trained many great players and he does not hesitate to say that for his weight Daly is the best man who has gone through his hands. Even the mighty Dibblee is not except ed. MacMaSters thinks Dibblee was a wonderful player, but what he had in beef and brawn. he says, Daly had to make up in grit, speed and knowl- edge of the game.
 New Haven. Nov 7.-Yale's second eleven jared the varsity yesterday af- ternoon by scoring against the regu- lars their first touchdown of the sea- son during an afternoon practice. Der ry Hale. varsity fullback, tried to punt at the varsity six-yard line, but Bloomer, the scrubs tackle, blocked the kick and the ball rolled around the goal line. Johnny Hart, left end for the scrubs, fell on the leather, and rolled over the line with the ball. Cap tain Brown was so badly cut up at the failure of the regulars to prevent the second team from blocking Hale's punt that he ordered the play back to the same spot. anG he scrubs duplicated the feat, to the chagrin of the regu- lars.
 Philadelphia, N. 1.-The Pennsyl- vania team has not yet reassembled after the Harvard hurricane. The Gardiner boys have not returned, while McCracken came back only Monday night, and Potter yesterday morning. Neither was in the lineup. Potter be- cause he needed the rest and McCrack- en because of two sore knees which will keep him in the hospital until Thursday. The only one of the war sity men lined up against the scrub yesterday was McCloskey. Coach Woodruff was at quarter, and as a re- looked more like game between two class teams than like varsity prac- tice.
 New York, Nov Ion a field banked around with 10000 wildly cheering, football-mad enthusiasts, Columbia yesterday defeated Princeton. Never have the hills under which lies Man haitian field been so densely packed. It was not fringe that skirted the huge bridge overhanging the stands, but a solid mass of humanity, thou sands upon thousands on the roadway above and down the Speedway, and densely crowding the open places, and within the grounds 15,O0O passed. And all these saw the Tiger again go down to defeat. fighting bravely but valnly against the superior strength of the Blue and White.
 When darkness came on the battle was still being waged, by moonlight and under the lights that dotted the yiaduct. The score was to in Col umbia's favor when the game ended but notwithstanding this Columbia showed better form and cleaner work than Princeton. She was more az gressive, both during the early part of the game and toward the end. She held her own at all stages, and in many ways showed decided superior ity. .. ..,,- :s-. j.. ,.,- s-
