New Haven, Conn. Nov. 16.--Yale de-
feated Princeton in the annual foot
ball contest at Yale Field this after
noon by a score of II to 0. 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 absence of unfair tactics.
Probably no game has ever been play
ed on the Yale Field where there was
less of roughing, slugging and off-side
play. During the game, lasting nearly
two hours, including the intermission
and the time taken out by delays re-
sulting from injuries. but two penal
ties were imposed, the rival teams be-
ing equally guilty. In the first half
Princeton was the offender and Yale
was awarded ten yards OF distance. In
the second half Yale anxiety cost her
some distance and honors were even.
On two. occasions. players were warned
by the umpire for tactics unnecessar-
lily rough, but on these occasions, as
in the instances of off-side play, the
dishonors were even, and Princeton
and Yale were alike guilty once each.
There was nothing of the spectacu
lar in the contest. The game was won
by Yale as a result of the simplest kind
of old-fashioned football rendered ef-
fective by entire consistency in team
play, and a physical condition which
enabled the Sons of Eli to last through
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. f+>
When the score was u to 0 against
| them, the Princetonians disclosed that
never-say-die spirit which has so often
won great victories in the past and
gave a superb exhibition of last ditch
fighting.

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 Prince
ton men forced the play into Yale's ter
ritory and for the last fifteen minutes
of the game Yale was on the defensive.
Holes were torn in the hitherto In
vincible line of Yale and amazing dis
tances were gained by the New Jer-
sey men. Their brace had come too
late, however, and time was called for
