  $4,000 WATCH YALE DEFEAT PRINCETON Blue, Winning 100, Favored to Trim Harvard and Take Big Three Title. PRINCETON, n. j., November 10 The Bulldog clipped the Tigers claws and blasted his dream of Big Three championship this afternoon in Pal mer Stadium. Before a colorful crowd Of close to $4,000 and under drab skies, from which a bitterly cold wind whipped through the big stadium, Yale unleashed a mighty machine that smashed its way to victory by a score of 10 to 0. and toppled Princeton from the heights of greatness it had scaled only a week ago by crushing Harvard.
