Raleigh, n. c., November 16.-The
University of North Carolina foot ball
team met the team of the Agricultural
and Mechanical college here this after
noon. There were three substitutes on
the university team, which put up
snappy game of ball and entirely out
classed the Agricultural and Mechanl-
cal team. This is the last game OF the
University of North Carolina before IL
plays the University of Virginia at Nor
folk next Saturday for the champion
ship of the south. The game today was
won by the University by a score of 80
to O. with twelve minutes in the second
half to spare.
New Haven, Conn, November 16--
Yale defeated Princeton in the annual
foot ball contest on Yale field this af-
ternoon by a score of II to o. The score.
according to the experts who witnessed
the game, represents accurately the
superiority of the sons of Eli over the
Tigers OF Old Nassau. Aside from the
general excellence of the Yale team the
feature of the play was to be found in
the entire absence of unfair tactics.
Probably no game has ever been play
ed on the Yale field where there was
less of roughing, sIugging and of foul
play. During the play, lasting nearly
two hours, including the intermission
and the time taken out by delays result
ing from injuries, but two penalties
were imposed. the rival teams being
equally guilty.
In the first half Princeton was the
offender and Yale was awarded ten
yards Of distance. and honOrs were
even. On two occasions players were
warned by the umpire for tactics unne-
as in the instance of off side play, the
dishonors were even and Princeton and
Yale were alike guilty once each.
There was nothing of the spectacular
in the contest. The game was won by
Yale as a result of the simplest kind
of old fashioned foot ball. rendered eff
fective by entire consistency in team
play and a physical condition which en-
abled the Sons of Eli to last through
a gruelling contest. Princeton. on the
other hand, displayed a tendency to go
to pieces at times and throughout the
game her men required frequent nurs-
ing.
When the score was IL to 0, against
them the Princetonians disclosed that
never-say-di which so often has
won great victories in the past. and
gave superb exhibitions of last ditch
fighting,
UnQuestionably beaten. and with
seven-elevenths of the team substitutes
the heroes of Old Nassau went at it and
fairly lifted the Yale men from their
feet. Then it was for the first time in
the second half that the Princeton men
forced the play into Yale's territory
and for the last fifteen minutes of the
game Yale was decidedly on the defen-
sive. Barndoor holes were torn in the
hitherto invincible Yale line. and amaz-
ing distances were gained by the New
Jersey men. Their brace had come toe
late, however. and time was called fol
the end of the game.

prise and bewilder the Columbia player:
