  TIE TIGERS LOSE. They Were Never in It With the Pennsylvanians. A GREAT GAME OF FOOTBALL Interesting Exciting and Furl- ously Contested, But the Pennsylvanians Won. \ GREAT GAME OF FOOTBALL state fair grounds at Trenton were the scene today of one of the greatest football battles that has ever been fought on Ameri can soil, in which the champion tigers of Princeton, after fierce struggle, suc- cumbed to the stocky eleven of the Univer-f sity of Pennsylvania, with a2tinal score of 12 to 0. The day was perfect one for football, the air being just sdarp and cool enough to inspire the players without chilling the spectators. Light clouds, too, :. covered the glaze of the sun, so that the 2000 who crowded the stands at 2 o’clock were all in the best of humor, anticipatingl alsuperb exhibition of their favorite sport. In this they were not disappointed. The field had been put in excellent shape. It was clean game, but it was one of the fiercest games in the history of the sport, and frequent delays were occasioned for the reconsideration of injured men. Princeton soon saw she was outclaS5ed by her Quaker opponents and her men were reckless of themselves. The Prince ton backs were greatly inferior to the Penusylvanians and even the tigers’ much lauded line, with the single exception of right guard and tackle, were fairly out chased. It was just 2:25 o’clock when Referee Bliss called the teams together. Princeton won the toss and chose the southern goal, with a brisk breeze to their backs. Penn sylvania, there e., had the ball. Brooke kicked off, but the ball went out of bounds and was brought back for another trial. This time the Quaker full back sent it sail ing to within 1U0 yards of Princeton’s goal. Lea fumbled 1t, but recovered quickly and carried it to the twenty yard line. The tigers back then tried to skirt the ends of the nnsylvanians, but were foiled and Cochran had to kick. It was a good punt and Brooke caught it on Pennsylvania’s thirty yard line. Osgood tried Trenchard’s end, but Ward got him out again. Brooke then kicked high to Poe on Prnceton’s forty five. yard line. Wharton’s knee was hurt in tackling Poe, but the plucky guard took his place in two minutes, and though it bothered him badly all through the game he showed remarkable pluck and would not retire. Princeton this time tried her mass plays on the tackle. Morse was sent through Woodruff for two yards and Wheeler through WahenSr-st for three more. That was every inch they could get through, and the ball was then lost on downs. Osgood then ploughed through between Lea aud ‘Iay Tor like steam engine and gained five yards. mass play on Lea followed, but this was well met and made no gain. The famous Woodruff interference mass play was then sent battering into Smith. Lem saw the formation first though, and by getting over in front of it stopped it beautifully. On TrenchaId’s end it gained five yards The ball was now on Princeton’s 2O-yard line. The Quaker’s then tried the trick which worked so we’ll for them last year. Brooke kicked to the side and then charg- ing forward put the ball on the side and Rofengarten got it. He carried it five yards before he was downed by Poe. The ball was but twelve yards from Princeton 8 goal and the red and blue banners began to wave furiousIy and Pennsylvania throats split with cheering. Not daring to risk their running backs again, the Princeton quarter passed the ball to Cochran. He punted into Pennsylvania territory, but only to have it quickly returned to Brooke. Cochran kicked again. The ball was Penn sylvania’s in the middleof the feld. Knipe skirted Smith s end for ten yards, when he was finely tackled by Lea. Knipe fumbled returned the compliment, though, and Brooke dropped on the ball. By “a fine se- ries of mass plays and kick by Brooke 1t was then advanced to Princeton’s thirty yard line, and then ensued one of the most exciting parts of the game. Princeton tried trick kick. Cochran tried by kicking high to get ahead of it, thus putting 1t on one side, but the Quaker backs interrupted his little game by fine charge upon him and got the ball. Knipe skirted Trenchard’s end for three yards. A fine series of mass plays on ecu ter and tackles and few good end runs by Oscood brought the ball to Princeton’s eight yard line. A momentum mass play, ingeniously formed so as not to conflict with the new rules, surprised Princeton’s line, and the ball was downed only two yards from her goal line. The Pennsyl- vanians were wild. Their players formed for the same play again. There was sud- denly breathless stiffness, while every down, and therefore the last chance. Quarter back Williams gave the signal and Brooke went into the line like a cannon ball. The veterans stood like wall for a moment, then wavered and fell back. Ev- cry one thought the ball was over, but it was found to be six inches from the line and the Princetonians breathed easier Princeton would not venture a line plunge and so Cochran kicked. The ball hit the ground on Princeton’s forty yard Smith dived after it like hare and fell on it before Osgood could recover. Cochran then kicked into Pennsylvania territory. Brooke caught the fifty yard line. It was soon back again on Prince ton ground, being sent to the thirty yard line by fine punt of Brooke’s. The only time in the game Princeton succeeded in making good gain around the Quaker end was now. It was made by double pass. Poe passed to Morse, who quickly returned it to him and, interfering for him, got around Rosengarten for twenty yards. In the turning part of this halfthe ball was swayed by small gains by each team in turn from Princeton,s twenty five to forty yard lines. It was at her thirty five yard line when time was called. Score 0 to 0. Time, 35 minutes. Princeton supporters were hoping for great things from the tigers in the second half, for they had tried no tricks at all in the first. They were mistaken, however, for the tricks were on Penusylvania’s side and the tigers steadily went to pieces, giv- ing their opponents as much ground by their own fum bles and poor kicks as the Quakers made by brilliant playing. The Princeton team started in fiercely. The boCka daahad into fba lina lika a fnndS

  CLIPPED The TIGERS CLAWS University of PENNSYLVANIA Obtained a Great Victory Over Princeton. SCORE MAS TWELVE TONOTHING wearers Of the Red and Blue Outplayed the Orange and Black Boys in Their Annual Football Contest-Princeton Never Had Chance to Beat the Quaker Team. TRENTON. \. J., Nov. 10.-The stalwartssous OF old Penn to-day clipped the claws Of the Princeton Tigers by the score OF y to 0. 1t was glorious triumph for the red and blue, and places Pennsylvania in the very front rank Of The football world. Where the sturdy athletes Of ancient Yale had failed and given up championship honors, Pennsylvania at lacked. Crashing through and breaking asunder that hitherto invincible line they carried the bah forward aad onward over the touchdown line ana plated the red and blue flag behind the goal post Torn and trampled, its silkeu folds smeared with the sand Of old Jersey. and the blood OF the men who maniully tried to win reaown for it. lies the orange and black. The Tigers. who three hours before bounded on the grIdiron .ull Of confidence and hope, now fled sadly of the field. many o. them so weak ana crippled they had 10 be borne in the arms Of loving comrades. Hurled from the very pinnacle Of fame the champions of the foot ball field are champions no longer. Another star has arisen ia the football armament. When the final touchdown had been made, the final goal kicked. and the last hall ended. the big crowd went wild. The huge yellow chrysaIthemums and the the mist before tue sun. IN their place hum dreds Of blue and red umbrellas, blue and red hHndkerchiefs blue and red ribbons. and blue eyes and red lips burst into view like magic. Rising TO Its feet, as one man and woman. the vast thr0ng whooped and yelled till the big statehOnse far away in Trenton fairly puiyered Men hugged each other and danced for Joy, women fairly wept with delight. and the eleven men who won the battle we’re objects. alike Of the masculine 8dmiranon and feminine admiration. Finally tbs enthusiasm became practically boundless. and like great food bursting its bounds. the crowd surSed cut into the gridiron and hoist ing the Quaker kickers up on their shoulders, sarried them in triumph from the grounds, then they hastened 10 Philadelphia to paint he town red and make the air blue. TWAS GRAND BATTLE. It was grand battle, stubbornly fought; but try as they did the Tigers at no time after Referee Laurie Bliss blew his whistle for the rall OF play had they chance OF victory.

In fact. the Penn every point. and it wound be manifestiy IN fair to credit the victory to any single man. OsgoOd. Brooke, Colbert Wharton and Kuipe were all intrusted with advancing the ball. and all justified the confidence placed in them. Williams, the plucky little quarterback, handled himself like veteran and scored the first touchdown for the Red and Blue. The ball had been passed back 10 Cochran for a kick on Princetons 5 tweuty-yard line. but the Tiger full-back punted the ball into the ranks Of his own men and Williams, with Light Hing agility. dashed forward, tucked the precious leather under his left arm. dashed down the field: through the Tigers ranks aud dropped 1t behind the goal post. Brooke. with one swing OF his sure right foot. placed the bail squarely between the posts and over the bar. scoring six points for Pennsylvania. This was in the second half and about ten minutes after play had been called. = No scoring was done in the first half. al though the Quakers took the ball within six Inches OF Punceton.s goal line This hap pened about the middle OF the first half. and the Quakers had carried it, thereby crashing through Princeton’s tackles and occasionally swinging Colbert around the end behind strong interference The ball was lost on four downs. within six inches Of the line, through what was probably an error Of judgment. hnipe sicnalled Colbert 10 60 through tackle TIE Tigers massed at this point and barely managed 10 down the Penns lvania fuilback. il looked as il they were anticipating center play. and had Colbert been swung around the end. play on which they nearly always gain, he would. undoubtedly, have gotten II over as he had little more than yard 10 90. Throughout this half, as well as IN the next. the ball was almost constantly in Princeton territory. Never were the Tigers nearer than Penn sylvania’s 25-yard line, and then only on kicks which Brooke immediately returned, gaining from ten 10 twenty yards on every exchange OF punts with Cochran. TIGERS wERE NEVER IN IT. The Princeton full-back’ s work was nisersbic. Three times did be kick into the line, one OF which cost the Tigers a touchdown. as above noted.
