 New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. lS.-fale de- feated Princeton in the annual football contest at Yale field this afternoon by the score of l2 to 0. The score, accord ing to the experts who witnessed the game, represents accurately the supe- riority of the Sons of Ell 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 entre absence of unfair tactics. Probably no game has ever been played on the Yale field where there was less roughing, slugging and off side play. During the game, lasting nearly two hours. fnclud- ing the intermlssion and the time taken out by delays resulting from injuries, but two penalties were imposed, the avai teams being equally guilty. In the first half Princeton was the offender ana Yale was awarded ten yards distance. In the second half Yale's anxiety cost her the same distance and honors were even. On two occasions players were warned by the umpire for tactics unnec- essarily rough but on these occasions. as in the instances of off side play, Prince ton 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 oid-fashIoned football rendered effective by entire consistency in team play and a physical condition which enabled the Sons of Eli to last" through a gruelling contest Princeton, on the other hand, displayed tendencysto go to pieces at times and throughout the game her men required frequent nursing. Yale played throughout the seventy minutes of ac- tuai time with single change when Captain Ktniftz of the 'TaFsity boat crew took the place of Goss at left tackle. Princeton found 1t necessary to call upon seven substitutes and the introduction of this half dozen fresh men enabled her to make superb finish of the con test which had been altogether uphill. Yale's goal line was never endangered. Indeed, the Princeton players never reached a point nearer Yales goal than the thirty-yard line. Yale scored one touchdown in each half and each of these scores were converted cleverly into goal by Olcott
 Yale's touchdowns came as a result of a superbly developed system of line plunging in which the famous tackles back formations in all their variations netted the greatest gains. Yale's backs, assisted by as sprightly a set of forwards as could be asked for found holes in the Princeton line which enabled them to make consistent gains when once they found their pace and touchdowns were inevitable with the magnificent team work displayed by Yale when the l occasion demanded it. Yale's first touch- | down was made after about fifteen min ntes of play. tumble by Princeton at the center field gave Yale her chance | and seizing the ball on Princetons twen- | ty-yard line the Yale men in ten plays 1 forced the ball over for the first score. 1 The rest of the first half witnessed many exchanges of kicks, and in this department of the game little Desaulles, the Yale quarterback surprised his ad- mirers by holding his own fairly well with Dewitt. Yale required about twen- ty minutes of play in the second half to score the second and last touchdown oi | the game This score, like its predeces- sor, came as a result of straight foot l ball. made possible by great strength and superior team play. Honors were evenly divided as to kicking. Desaulles holding his own amazingly well with De Witt In the handling of kicks, Princeton excelled perhaps a trifie. In the matter of scrimmages, however, Yale's play was impressively cleaner Princeton time and again losing the ball i on deplorabIe tumbles. Throughout the game the play was largely in Princeton's 1 territory.
 1 From the kickoff at the start of the game, Yale did not let up until tho first | touchdown had been made. Then she resorted to the kicking game and the 1 scrimmages were confined to the middle of the field. So, too, in the second half the New Haven boys clung to the ball amazingly and confined the play to the Tigers territory until another six points had been added to the Yale score. When the score was 12 to 0 against them, the Princetonians disclosed that never say die" spirit which so often has won great victories in the past and gave superb exhibition of last ditch fighting.
 Unquestionably beaten, and with seven elevenths of the men on the team sub stitutes, the heroes of Old Nassau went at it and fairly lifted the Yale men from ] their feet. Then 1t was for the first time in the second half that the Princeton men forced the play into Yale's territory and the last fifteen minutes of the game ! Yale was decidedly on the defense. Barn door holes were torn in the hitherto in- vincible Yale line and amazing distances were gained by the New Jersey men. | Their brace had come too late, however. and time was called for the end of the game.
 No player was seriously injured and there seemed to be no disposition on the part of Princeton men to question Yale's aIl-around superiority.
