New Haven, Conn, Nov. 16.-Yale de-
feated Princeton in the annual football
contest at Yale field this afternoon by

the experts who witnessed the game, rep
resents accurately the superiority of the
Sons of Eli over the Tigers of Old Mas

including the intermission and the time
taken out by delays resulting from in
juries, but two penalties were imposed,
the rival teams being equally guilty. In
the first half Princeton was the offender
and Yale was awarded ten wards of dis
