  ORANGE AND BLACK WIN OUT Princeton Tigers Defeat Cons Of Old Ely Six to Nothing. TOUCHDOWN ON A MISERABLE TUMBLE Right End roc Sets the Immense Crowd Frantic by His Great Dash Of N~incty-Fivc Yards to the Good. PRINCETON. N. j.. Nov. 12.-The Prince ton Tigers defeated the Sons OF Old Ell on P-orr’v feld his afternoon by the score Of 6 to 0. While 1t was one OF the most bittoi,y contested games ever witnessed on a foot ball field, 1t was at the same line one of the most unsatisfactory. not alone to che Yale team and their supporters. but also to the wearers Of the orange and black and those who cheered them on to victory. The solitary touchdown was made on a miserable tumble by Right Halfback Benjamin when the ball was within fifteen yards Of Princeton’s goal. The ball had been car ried down the field by the Yale team by steady plunges into the Princeton line, varied by an occasional end run, until 1t lay between Princeton’s twenty and twenty-five yard line. The teams lined UP and Desaulles signaled for Benjamin to go through left tackle, a position in Princeton’s line which was awfully weak. The ball was passed and Benjamin dived into the mass OF human flesh. a second later the ball was seen to roll clear Of the bunch Of players and advance a rev feet toward Princeton’s goal line.

The same can he said Of 20 days contest. Yale would carry the ball down the field toward the Tigers goal, only to lose it on an exasperating tumble. The game was not what could be called brilliant. scientific foot ball. AT times both teams played a mastery game, 3rt at other times many Of the players seemed to have forgotten the first rudiments OF the game and some Of their plays would have Put to shame the foot ball team OF a preparatory school. Yale’s Fierce Play. Before Benjamin’s disastrous tumble, Yale’s play had been fierce. After the touch down the men grew more desperate. IN every man there was that bulldog deter mination and grit that have won many a hard fought game for the wearers OF the dark blue. Time and again they would rush ths ball down the ield toward the Tigers goal, only to lose it on a tumble. On one occasion they carried the ball, by plunges into the line, seventy-fve yards, finally losing it on a tumble within twenty yards Of the Princeton goal. Princeton was content to play on the def~ensive until within about fifteen Minutes before the game was called and 1t looked as though they had been instructed in this point by their coaches. Their entire effor at line-bucking during the frs: half and for twenty minutes of the second half net ted them all told about fifty yards, while their opponents had carried the ball foul times this distance. There was not, however, that variety Of attack and good runs behind beautiful in reference which are appreciated so much by the unadulerated foot ball crank. Yale’i play in the main was directed against Princeton’s left tackle. the one weak spo in the Tigers line.

The further he ran the greater was his lead. until in less than 1t takes to write it, he had planted the ball squarely between the posts of the much coveted goal of Yale. When Poe started on his 95-yard run up the field, the scene which followed beggars description. All the stands that surround the field were one surging, yelling mass of hui | manity in an instant.

The reports that had been sent out from New Haven to the effect that the Yale team was in a badly crippled condition had but little effect on the bet ting in today’s game. The orange and black had been UP against Yale’s ‘‘cripples, and their spending money had gone toward pay ing for the tuition of some Yale stu dent.

When the teams lined up the attend ance was about $4,000. with the adherents of Princeton naturally in the ma jority. There was no lack of Yale men and women, however, and they lifted up their voices in encouragement OF their favorites whenever opportunity offered. The Princeton shouters wers banked in a solid mass in the east stand, opposite the Yale contingent. and they KEEP up an untiring shout for three hours. varied only occasionally by a college song.

Notwithstanding these drawbacks, Yale repeatedly secured firm grip on the Tigers tail, and several times the sons of Elihu We’re on the verge of tying the knot, but at every critical moment the festive tiger would free him. self by making an extra kick, and at the same time fastening his claws so securely in the blue jerseys that it took Yale long time to get a good chance to try the tail-twisting act once more. 1t was chiefly a battle of forwards. as there were very few long runs, ana the Princeton giants and the sturdy Yale Nnesmen fought it out valiantly in dzor-die finish. rRNtEroN.
