Princeton men were willing to bet 10 previous to the game that fennsyiFah’a would not score. and anybody who ilad h’h.eu that tho Quakers had any chance OF W’nn’hs would have been looked on as lacking “eh’ai equilibrium.

The Princetons tried every device in the hope OF finding weak spot in the Pennsylyania make up. but failed. They tried to gain ground by bucking the centre. but the her culean rush line Of the Pennsylvanians pushed tho Prime etonians back as though they wore children.

  YALE NOTES. Close Football Games-University Of Pennsylvania Beats Princeton-The Close Football Games-University Of Pennsylvania Beats Princeton-The outlook. The ’95 eleven played against the Nor walk Tennis club on Saturday at Norwalk and defeated them by a score of “a to o in two twenty minute halves. Yale played too strong game for the Norwalks, who showed lack of practice. The Yale ’96 football team was defeated Saturday afternoon by tho Phillips An dover academy at Andover by a score of $40. The work of the Yale freshmen was characterized chiefly by fumbling, although good tackles were made by Thompson. Yale and Wesleyan played champion ship game at Yale field Saturday after noon. The score was 74–⁠0. Yale had everything her own way. Wesleyan put up very poor game, while Yale played | without break. | In the last three years Yale has scored 1868 points to her opponents SS. A great many prophecies have been made since the Prinoeton-University OF Pennsylvania game as to the probable out | come of the game between Yale and Uni versity of Pennsylvania next Saturday Princeton was weak in the backs, where the University of Pennsylvania was strong At present Yale’s prospects are the brightest. Her team has not once beer scored against, while Harvard has beer scored against twice for total of twenty four points and Princeton has been de feated, and that in a championship gam, by team which was considered in ever, way her inferior. The team which is to represent Yale i practically decided, barring accidents. 1 is as follows: Hinkey, Greenway, ends Wallis, Winter, tackles; Hickox, Sanford guards; Stillman, center; Mccormick. quar- ter-back; L. Bliss, Graves, half back; But terworth, full back. The substitutes ar Norton, Cochrane, Coke, ends; Armstrong tackle; ONeil, MoCres, guard; Adee, quarter; G. Bliss, Hamlin, halves; Richards full. Of these men Hinkey, Wallis, Win ter, Mccormick and L. Bliss arc ranke with the best in the country. OF Green way, the phenomenal Andover end of les year, great things are expected. The Ger ) ter is fairi the guards only were consid cred. Sanford and Hicko1 are both men G remarkable strength. Stillman, however , is the doubtful factor. On Saturday b , played game that surprised even his bet friends. If he continues in the same strai throug bout the season Yale will have n fears in that direction. Mccormick POI ) | sesses wonderful amount of tact in tt ! | management of the team while on til } field, and although he fills the place { . | quarterback perfectly his dashes at tt | center will be missed. t Graves made record for himself Trinity last year and it is hoped that / , will maintain his record while at Yal Butterworth is beautiful punter and ca i | also kick goals very accurately. He is trife light but can make gains through IL f center in spite of this fact. OF the sui atitutes little can be said, except that whe + Yale man is injured the team will not : materially weakened.
