    STRONG ATHLETIC CLUB TEAMS. They Show Up Well With the Prince ton and Yale Elevens. The most notable feature of the present foot ball season is the strength shown by the athletic clubs. Neither the Princeton nor the Orange Athletic Club were able to score in the foot ball game at Orange, N j., Saturday. Princeton did not have out her best team, but the players strug- Cled hard against the strong Orange team. Notwithstanding tumble two, young Poe did great work al quarter, and his gain of twenty-five yards in the second half on clever little double pass was the feature OF the game. Rhodes and Hearne did some great tackling, and here, too, Poe got in some fine work. Neither Yale nor Boston Athletic Associtation were able to score at New Haven Saturday. Yale was outclassed by an average of twenty pounds in the line, but stopped the flying interference well. Her interference on the offensive, however, was badly broken up For Yale Chadwick. Jerrens and Benjamin put up star game. and Anthony, Curtis and Bert Waters did the hest work for Boston. Yale gained more ground than Boston Athletic Association, and should have scored, the game ending with the ball on Boston’s vineyard line. Cornell went down before the heavier and stronger Harvard eleven Saturday by a score of % to o.
