New Haven, Conn.,, November 16.-- | Special )-Fighting to the last ounce of her weight the Princeton Tigers were beaten by the Yale Bulldogs in the an l nual football. game this afternoon by a score ofA2 to 10.
 From what looked like sure defeat in the first half, the Yale players came forth for the second like lot of wild 1 men. They wanted to fight. They waded 4.ght in. caught the Tigers by the neck, belteo them around the field, right and left. walloped them over the 'chalked lines and marched down. the turf until thev law in battered heaps beyond the Princeon goal posts.
 If was q wonderful game, full of rip and zip. dash and ginger, and never will the 9O,OOO spectators forget the head long plunges of Coy, the rapid hre gunning of Dillon, the tackling of Wis ter and Jones and the superb all around work of Tibbott and Mccormick
 Princeton played rings around Yale dur ing the first half. They threw the Blues into the air and kept them there until the whistle blew. They were so fast and tricky that Yale could not keep up with them. In the second half conditions were reversed. Yale's beef began to tell. The Bulldog unlocked a few tricks and had Princeton guessing until the game ended in the Tigers defeat.
 The day was ideal for football-clear and beautiful and just cool enough to flush the cheeks and make purple the noses of portly old alumni.
 Vale the Favorite.
 Just previous to the game the betting was 2 to 1 on Yale. Princeton won the toss and Captain Mccormick set his men with their backs to the southerly sun. As the teams kned up for the kick off, the crowd grew comparatively quiet.
 With the ball in the center of the field, Harlan took a short run and threw his whole soul into kick that sent the ball spinning away over the Yale mems heads There was a scurrying and converging toward the pigskin and a Yale jacket hit the ground with two of the Tigers atop and more Yale men on the second story
 Back came the ball to midfeld, pro- pelled by the efficient toe of Coy with the light skirmishers after it. Here in the center of the gridiron the carnage grew apace. From the heart of the scrimmage headguards were torn from their fastenings and thrown into the air by the force of the shock. Princeton defense did not seem to cohere properly at first and Bigelow's bull neck butted into the center for four chalkmalks. That one smash seemed to shake the Tigers together.
 Crash of Forces.
 While Yale's supporters were yet bel lowing joyously the ball went to Prince ton, the lines swung together and then came big Mccormick with the ball clasped to his breast and almost every man on the Yale team after him. Coy plunged for him, missed and came a cropper
 Bomar almost had him. He snapped at the Princeton mans foot and Me- Cormick almost fell. Bride and Gov were the only men between him and the Yale goal and the uproar of the startled Tigers supporters spurred him on. Bride pitched for the flying Tiger. threw him off his balance, and then before he could recover, fell upon him like a wolf on jack rabbit and Me- Cormick went down. He had covered 35 yards but the Princeton side blos- somed into series of yellow flags and flowers. The cheers had scarcely sub sided when Yale met with her heaviest
