Flags and stream- RS of the favOriLe cOlOrS were waved with enthusiasm, shouts and cheers went up from the lips of college stu Tents and friends and the victors them selves sounded the yell of their defeated ldversaripS, as the call of time proclaimed victory of % to 0. The uncertainty of Yale’s supremacy over the Pennsylvania boys was dis oeled at the beginning of the game. There had been a flavor of uncertainty n il since the defeat Of the Princetons by the Keystones on the Saturday pre- 1ious. The games played up to this line in the championship series have .rsuted differently than had been eX- Dectpd. Yale had only scored 6 points against what had been supposed to be very weak team, the WesleyanS; Prince ton showed their vast superiority by lowning the Wesleyans IS to 0, and then the bold tigers themselves suffered iefeat at the hands of the University Of Pennsylvania.

  COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYERS, Yale and Pennsylvania Try for the Championship. The Quakers Defeated by Score of 28 to O. The Olympic Club Team Defeated by tho University of California. A Coming Event on Local Grounds. By the Associated Press. BY the Associated Press. New YORK, Nov. 12.-Thousands Of people gathered in Manhattan field this afternoon to witness the football match between the University of Pennsylvania and Yale college. Yale won handily by q score Of 2S too. The men lined up at 2:3O, and Yale won the toss. Yale scored the first touchdown, but Pennsylvania presented a barrier which could not be passed, and, after four desperate attempts, Yale gave it up. Vail passed the ball to Thayer, Pennsylvania full back. who kicked with all his might, hut the pig skin collided with the goal-post, and Yales right secured possession of it. Bliss dashed almost to the goal-line with the ball, but was forced to touchdown, and a moment later Butterworth, Yale g full-back, secured a goal, making the score 6 to 0 in Yale’s favor. Finding that the rushing was unattended with success the Pennsylvania team tried kicking, but Butterworth made marvellous catches. After scrimmaging Bliss, Yale’s half-back, made a long run to Pennsylvania tive-yard line, but did not secore touch down. A second effort, however, was more sue cessful, and the second goal was kicked. The Pennsylvanians showed signs OF encouragement and their play weakened perceptibly. After an unsuccessful at tempt to secure goal in the last few minutes before the end of the first hall game Bliss secured tine ball and made Q touch down, from which the goal was kicked. During the intermission between the fret and second halves of the game the Pennsylvanians revived, and when the game reopened they played with greater vigor than ever. In opening, Lawrence Bliss of the Yale team, Captain Schof and Knite of the opposing team, were crippled and compelled to retire. Des perate but unsuccessful efforts to score we’re made by Pennsylvania just before the end of the game. Butterworth kicked the ball to the middle field and settled the hopes of the Quakers. Yale scored goal at the last moment of the game.
