  PRINCETON IS OUTPLAYED Yale Wins the Game at New York by Bet. ter Work ALI Around. CAPTAIN TH0RNe THE BRIGHT STAR His IndividunI Work Contribute, More Than Any other One Fcnture to the Victory Earned by His Team. place today between the elevens Of Yale and Princeton. Fully $4,000 people witnessed the contest. and the enthusiasm increased from the time the ball was first kicked of until time was called at the end of the sec ond half, when the score stood 20 to 10 in Yale’s favor. Notwithstanding Farmer Dunns unpropitous forecast the day dawned bright and clear and was such a one as to delight the heart Of man who had ever seen a contest on the gridlron. AS early as 10 o’clock the crowds began to assemble about the gates Of the great athletic meet ing place at One Hundred and Fifty-ffth street and Eighth avenue. and steadily In creased in proportion until the portals were thrown open at 1890. when there was a mighty rush on the part of the waiting enthusiasts for the best positions on the field BY the time the game was started not va cant seat remained In any of the grand stands and hardly any standing room 1t was exactly 2 o’clock when the Princeton team headed by its disabled but plucky cap tain, entered the enclosure. Then the crowds broke loose, and such a roar of ap pause as greeted the players has seldom been equalled. The sons of Eli came into the arena Immediately after the Princeton players and they, too, received an ovation. The preliminary practice was short and spirtied for both sides, and at 2:10 o’clock coin was fipped, which determined which captain could have the choice Of ball or goal. Cap tain Thorne won the toss and chose the east era goal, giving his rival the ball. Captain Lea placed the ball at the center of the gridiron for the kickoff, and the leather sailed away over the heads OF the Yale players. THORNE TAKES THE GLORY. The star player in today’s struggle was the llght-haired captain of the Yale team, and he covered himself with glory. The manner In which he bucked the Tiger line was phepomenal, as were his long runs around the ends. Time and again he recovered the pig skin from Baird’s punts and advanced the ball for long gains, and once he started from the Princeton sixty-fve-yard line and carried the ball to touchdown through the entire Princeton contingent, with practically no in reference. Fincke was also a good ground gainer for Yale and played a steady game at tho quarter back position Notwithstanding his lightness he often succeeded in advancing the ball with several of the Tiger players hanging upon him. When Bass broke through the Princeton line and secured the leather on q tumble by Lea he made the most brilliant and effective play Of the game, for he was able to run away from his pursuers and made touchdown after covering fifty yards. Chad wick did some remarkable blocking, as did Rogers and Jerrems also. Langdon Lea, the captain Of the Tiger team, put up plucky fight during the first half, but was largely handicapped by his weak shoulder and was forced to give place to Thompson soon after the second half opened. Rosengarten made a pretty run of twenty yards after he received the ball from punt and Armstrong did some good work in bucking the Yale line SUBS SAVED THE TIGERS. When Armstrong was forced to retire and Kelly took his place the spectators were treated to beautiful series OF plays by that comparatfvely inexperienced player, for it was largely through his efforts that Prince ton was able to score the touchdown which was made by Baird. Rosengarten had been disqualified for slugging Louis Hinckey and Barnard was put on the field to take his place. This player ably supported Kelly and must receive part of the credit which Prince ton received for the brace they took in rush ing the ball from the Yale thirty-five-yard line to the touchdown. Thompson’s substitute did the best tackling of the game, for he got down the field on every kick. and often tackled the receiver of the ball before he had moved. The game was remarkably free from trick plays The Tigers did try a double pass or two, with little avail, and made several short gains on fake kicks, but aside from this the playing was straightforward. old-fashioned foot ball, with a deal of kicking on the part OF both teams. Baird made numerous well placed pupts for Princeton, and Thorne and Jerrems lifted the ball for Yale with never railing accuracy. Once during the game Thorne attempted to kick goal from the field, never repeated. The strength of Princeton’s line was considerably weakened by the changes which were made to allow Captain Lea to play left end while the Yale line was stronger than at any other time during the present season. The game was won by the superiority Of the Yale backs over those Of their rivals. and while the Yale victory was much larger than had been predicted. 1t was won by the very fairest playing. The game was considerably delayed by frequent trivial injuries. but the contest was remarkably free from the ugly features which characterized much of the playing Of last year. Not a Yale man left the field from beginning to finish, and no serious injuries were received by tho Prince ton men who were forced to retire. YALE WON ALL THE WAY. Yale won the toss and gave Princeton the ball. Captain Thorne chose the eastern goal. There was hot work from the start, Lea kicked off to Dewitt, who was tackled on Yales thirty-yard line. Rosengarten kicked n long line to Finclse who was downed at the center OF the field. Jerrems returned the punt, but the ball went out Of bounds and went as a first down to Princeton. Dewitt gained three yards around the left end and Jerrems carried the ball through the line for one yard. Rhodes was hurt in the rush and Captain Lea drew his team aside and talked to them In fatherly fashion while Rhodes to Captain Lea. who fumbled 1t. Bass grabbed II and ran from Prlnceton’s fifty-yard limo and planted the leather directly between the goal posts. Captain Thorne kicked the goal. Score: Yale, q; Princeton, O. Lea kicked of. After a scrimmage time was called to give the doctors opportunity to plaster up Thorne’s head. Thorne was badly hurt, but his pluck brought him round very quickly, and when play was resumed he tried to buck the center. He did not succeed and the ball went to Princeton. Thorne got the ball and forced through Prlnceton’s line and scored a second touchdown and kicked the goal. Score: Yale, ~: Princeton. 0. From this time TO the end OF the game Princeton struggled gamely but hopelessly. There were many spirited plays, Princeton doing full share OF them LEA LEFT THE GAME. There was no change In either team on the lineup for the second half.> Captain Lea was injured In the second haif and was compelled to leave the field, thompson taking his place. The playing mad been on fale’s ground up to this time. When Captain Lea left the field Yale seemed TO play with more vim and soon got the ball. On punt Captain Thorns got the ball on Yale’s hfty-yard line and by most brilliant run carried the sphere to Prince toms ifteen-yard line. where he was downed. Yale’s ball on Princston’s fye-yavd line Jerems made the touchdown. Rosengart was ruled out for slugging Hnckey. Ban non took Rosengarten’s place, Thorne failed TO kick goal.

  THE YALE-PRINCEToN GAME.

A momentary hush prevailed as Captain Lea placed the ball at the centre of the gridiron for the kick off, and as the leather sailed away over the heads of the Yale players it became the point on which all eyes were forced. The great star player in to-day’s struggle was the light haired Captain of the Yale team, and he covered HIM self with glory and won for himself a | name which will be repeated with awe by future generations of football cranks. The manner in which he bucked the tiger line was phenomenal, as was his long runs around the end. Time and again he received the pig skin from Baird’s punts and advanced the ball for long gains, and once he started from the Princeton shirty-fve yard line and carried the ball to a touch down through the entire Prince ton contingent, with practically no inreference, Finche was also q good ground gamer for Yale and pIayed a steady game at the quarter back positon. Notwithstanding his lightness he often succeeded in advancing the ball with several tiger players hang ing upon him. Bass broke throgl the petition line and secured the leather on tumble by Lea and made one of the most brilliant and effective PLAYS Of the game, for he WAS able to run asyav from his pursHers and made Il touch down after covering fifty yards. Chad wick did some remarkable blocking as did Rogers and Jerrems also. Dewitt was not used to the full extent of his ability to-day but he did good work for the sons of Eli when he was tried and gained many a, good yard for his side. Langdon Lea, the captain of the Tiger team. put up plIcky fight at left end during the first half. but was largely handicapped by his weak shoulder and was forced to give place TO Thompson soon after the second half opened. Rosengarten made a pretty run of twenty wards after haging received the ball from d gnlnt and Armstrong did some good work in bucking the Yale line. When Armstrong was forced to retire and Kelly took his place. the spec tators were treated 10 beautiful series Of plays by ahat comparatively inexperienced player, for it was large ly due to his efforts that Princeton was able to score the touchdown which was made by Baird.
