OF which was not decided until the referees
whistle had blown for the last time. Yale's foot
ball heroes trotted of the field here this after
noon victorious the Tigers by a score OF
II to D Twice in the course of that long and
breathless struggle had a Yale player dashed
over Princeton's line with the pigskin cIasped
in his arms. and twice had the toe Of a Yale
boot sent the ball between Princeton's goalposts
for a goal from touchdown Prineeton's only
score was due to a phenomenal goal from the
field scored by the giant guard. De Witt who
was easily the star of the Princeton eleven and
is the best kicker seen on any American eleven
in many years.
The game was witnessed by twenty thou
sand spectators. the great majority OF whom
were partisans of the most enthusiastic and
demonstrattve sort, and who came to cheer
for Yale OF for Princeton win or lose; and
certainly, If the game proper was hard fought.
the cheering contest one of the most in
spiriting ever heard Over the heads Of the
struggling players the two armies Of their
friends hurled their battIe-cries all the after
noon They cheered for those in distress as II
they would crack their lungs doing il. and OF
course they cheered when their favorites were
achieving feats of prowess. Consequently they
cheered most of the time, and when they were
not cheering they were singing battle songs
| composed by various undergraduates and alum
nal poets Of credit and renown.
Early in the morning the fernent began at
Princeton that always marks the day OF ths
Yale game. A good many Princeton alumni
make point OF getting back to college the
night before the Yale game and last night was
by no means an exception, so that Princeton Inn
was the scene Of merrymakings and football
gossip and representation until an early hour
this morning Out Of town delegations began
to pour in by the first trains this morning and
from o'clock on every train was crowded to
its limit The Pennsylvania Railroad had made
extraordinary arrangements for accommodating
the rush. and the fine. mild weather taxed these
arrangements to their utmost. Twelve special
trains went out OF Jersey City in the course OF
the forenoon and nearly as many from PhiIa-
delphia. Thousands of the visitors who arrived
early spent an hour or two in looking about the
old university town and inspecting the buildings
on the campus.
MULTITUDE AT THE FIELD

reason for hurry. and il was therefore not until

! The game itself was won by clean, straight
forward football, and the best team won. The
total scarcely shows the exact measure Of YaIe's
superiority As had been hoped by Yale and
feared by Princeton. the heavy rush line OF the
New-Haven eleven was too much for the
strength of Princeton's forwards, and when

through the line. Yale's most effective pIay was

to stop. because 1t was something new 10 Prince

Yale had a variation of 1t. The comuosition OF
the tandem was seldom twice alike The play
the same. but the men composing the thur-
derbolt differed almost every time. Consequent
ly Princeton's forwards never knew lust whom
to try hardest TO stop. Sometimes the first man
of the tandem had the ball and sometimes the
second. and sometimes the third. and the only
way to make sure that the play was stopped
was TO stop every Identical man involved in the
play. When Princeton began TO get after this
play little better Yale varied il with a re-
volving tandem which also good for many
yards. All told. the Yale teams game was the
result of careful study and most efficient coach

plays with consummate skill
