Princeton. N J.. November 12.-Yale to- day administered the second defeat of the season to Princeton by the score of 12 to Q. It was the first time in the his- tory of the two institutions that foot ball championship was not at stake; it was the first time that Yale and Prince ton had been beaten by minor elevens be- fore meeting in their annual contest. The navy had defeated Princeton and the army Yale
 Princeton planes the clements for to- days defeat The intermittent down. pours of Friday had made the gridron sofe and slimy and Princeton was the chief sufferer. The Princeton backs, re- pused to be the fastest in the country. could gain no headway on the slippery field. and their forwards, much lighter than Yale's were unable to brace them selves for the fierce attacks of the New Haven boys.
 Princeton Penalized Often.
 On the first score Princeton's over anxiety was her undoing. Three times early in the opening half Princeton was penalized for off-side and once for hold ing, distance of thirty yards. In the same half Yale suffered only once for. a penalty. and at the time the ball was so far in Princetons territory that the five yards availed little.
 The game was devoid of spectacular plays. Yale used straight plays aimed at center or tackle; only twice did she es- say a quarterback run.
 Each mar on the Princeton eleven en- deavored to do his share but Princeton's gains and her defense were due in great measure to the Individual playing of ] three men. Cooney, Foulke and Miller. l The former was used as a battering ram on the Yale line, and seldom failed to l gain his distance, and the two latter, as the second ne of defense, were brilliant. l Hogan, Bloomer, Leavenworth and Ows- ] ley were uJed to rip up Princeton's line, and were universally successful. Shevln who it was said could not possibly last l through gruelling contest, showed no signs of fatigue. While Yale out-played Princeton In the opening half, the latter clearly had their opponent in defensive work in the closing half. During the last l S5 minutes of play, the ball was almost continuously in Yale's territory, except l Wien I1Oyl WOulu hlCk,
 Vale Weak at Tackling.
 There was one noticably weak point in 1 Yale's play, and this was poor tackling in the open. Time and again her ends would miss Tenny, and on two different occasions he eluded three men, only to 1 fall on the treacherous turf as he was l turning the end Yale was also weak in the kicking game. Miller for Princeton out-distnncing them from 10 to 15 yards on neariy every exchange.
 Yale's goal was never really in danger. Twice Princeton had the oall on Yale's 35-yard line but each time was held.
 During the first half Leayenworth worked a pretty trick on Princeton, and tore off B yards before he was thrown by a beautiful tackle by Ritter on Princeton's l 32-yard line. Then began the battling which meant success for Yale. With first Bloomer and then Hogan back of the line, Yale carried the ball twenty yards Hoyt went through center for 8 yards, Bloomer 1 In the same place for 6, and the wall was eight yards from Princetons goal. Hogan dashed through right guard for three i yards and again into center for two. With l the ball three yards from Princeton's s goal, Bloomer was called back. He car red the ball over for a touchdown and kicked goal.
 Near Prlnceton's Goal.
 Near the close of the first half the ball was brought to within twenty-five yards of Princeton's goal. Hoyt went through center for three yards, and Leavenworth around right end for three and eight, but fumbled, and Princeton got the ball on her nve-yard line. Tenny broke through and blocked a kick. Leavenworth fell on the end of the ball back of the Princeton goal for a touchdown. There was such a scramble for the ball that a section of 1 fence was torn down. Hoyt kicked the goal.

 | This was the last score of the game. l In the second half Princeton really l outplayed Yale. The latent strength aroused by desperation asserted itself. and 1 the Tigers ripped the Yale line to pieces 1 for a few minutes Hoyt finally kicked t 1enny on Princeton's twenty-five yard | line. The Tiger quarterback carried the i ball to midfield before being downed. 1 Stannard made two yards. and Yale was off-side: giving Princeton an additional five Princeton tried to rush the ball, but Yale held and got 1t on downs. Hoyt kicked 1t out of danger, and then began another attack on the Yale line. Another effort was made to advance the ball | three yards on a third down. It failed i and with the failure went Princeton E l hope of scoring. Hoyt kicked the bal l ollf of danger and thereafter the play
