After the first few minutes Of play it was plain
that Yale had the superior game, and Thereafter
the Princeton rooters had only one interval when
hope rose high in their bosoms. That was in the
last ten minutes of play when Princeton's team
was composed largely Of substitutes and Yale
was tired. In those few minutes Yale was de-
cidedly outplayed. The Tigers played oesper-
ately and with dash and snap that they
showed at no other time. The forwards ripped
the Blue line up with ease, and the backs rusheo
through the big holes made for them for gcin
after gain. The Princeton shouters went mao
with delight and cheered until they could cheer
more.
TIGERS LAST CHANCE.
Then came a most disastrous tumble, that
lost the BAH to Yale, and with that tumble went
the Tigers last chance to score, for DE Sauiles
at once punted and the ball back in Prince
ton territory. Even then the wearers OF the
Orange and the Black did not despair. but went
at the Yale line hammer and tongs again. and
had the pieskin at the centre of the field when
the referees whistle told them that it all in

The Princeton team arrived in two special
cars from New-York at / o'clock, and, having
douned their uniforms the train, were driven
at once 10 Yale Field. On the field the Prince
ton delegation, which was fully two thousand
strong, had taken up its position as usual on
the western stand, the bearers Of the blue being
located as is their custom, directly across the
grfdiron There was only little sporadic cheer
ing from both sides before the appearance of the
two teams who came in after the surgi-
cal supplies but when the Tigers trotted out
from the northeast corner at Ola O'Clock the
west stand became a riot Of orange hags and
handkerchiefs, while six young men mounted
the raj that bars the gridiron from the stand
