  Blue OF YALE WAVES ON HIGH Old Ellis Gridiron Gladiators Humble the Fighting Tigers From Princeton FINAL SCORE 12 TO 0 Hogan, BlOOmer, Leavenworth and Owsley Plunge Through Line for Gains PRINCETON, N. J.. Nov. IA Everything is blue in old Nassau tonight. Yale to-day administered the second defeat of the season to the orange and black, IL to 0, in the pres ence of 5000 people. The game does not deserve a niche in the hall Of football fame, but there are one or two individuals who stand out prom inentIy among their fellows. Prince ton will forever blame the elements for to-day’s defeat. The tntermittent downpOurs of Friday had made the gridiron soft and Shiny and the wearers of the orange and black were the chief sufferers. Three times early in the opening half were the representatives Of old Nassau penalized for off-side play and once for holding distance Of thirty yards, a great advantage for a fierce line bucking aggregation like the Yale eleven. In the same half Yale sUffered oply once for a penalty and at the time the ball was so far in Prince tons territory that the five yards availed practically nothing. The game was absolutely devoid Of spectacular plays. Each man on the Princeton eleven endeavOred to do his share, but Princetons gains and her defense were due in great measure to the in dividual playing of three men-CoOney, Foulk and Miller. The former was used as a battering ram on the Yale line and seldom failed to gain his distance. and the two latter as the second line of defense were brilliant. Hogan, BlOOmer, Leavenworth and Owsley were used to rip up Prince tons line and were universally sue cessfully. Shevlin showed no signs OF fatigue. While Yale Outplayed Prince ton in the opening half the latter clearly had their opponents on the defensive in the closing half. During the last thirty-five minutes of play the ball was almost continuously in Yale’s territory except when Hoyt would kick. Yale’s goal was never really in danger. MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 12.-On the strength Of having defeated Wisconsin by a score Of % to 0 on NorthrOp field to-day Minnesota rOoters were tonight claiming the Western football cham pionship for 1904. The game played by Wisconsin to-day was a disappointment to its supporters. Minnesota started in with a rush and played their opponents off their feet, sending Kramer over the line for the nrst touchdown almost before the spectators realized what was happening. Attendance 10000. Los ANGELES, Nov. 12.-The Indian football team from Sherman Institute to-day defeated the University of Southern California eleven at Long Beach by the score Of IT to 0. The coll legians could not hold the rushes OF the Indian line, who broke through and cir cled the ends almost at will. LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12-St. Vincent College eleven defeated ThroOp Institute Of Pasadena at Prayers Park today by the score Of “a to 0. Los ANGELES. Nov. 12-Pomona AZ, Occidental 0.

  YALE DoWNED TIGERS. Nassau colors Bow to Blue of Eli, 4l ND VI Saturday was a glorious day for Yale in football. Down in the little town of Princeton nearly S0.o0O people saw the snappy Tiger eleven do down to de- feat before the steady, strong Blue eleven with It’s well night resistless at tack and firm defense. The field was soft and soggy as the result of Fridays storm, which was a handicap to the light Princeton backs. It was nearly 3 o’clock before the teams lined up for the bick-off. Prince ton started in with rush and carried the ball nearly to the center of the field before being forced to kick. Yale got the ball at her 25-yard line and from there carried it straight down the field for the first touchdown without losing possession. Yale was materially assisted in covering the necessary ground by Leavenworth’s pretty thirty three yard run between tackle and guard on a trick play Hogan and Bloomer bore the brunt of the line smashing in the last part of the march and to Rloomer went the honor of making the first touchdown for Yale in this yesr’s championship series. He kicked goai and it was Yale s, Prince ton 0. Soon after the klck-off Yale began another steady. hard-earned advance down the field and had carried the ball to Princeton’s 5-yard line when Leav- enworth gave the wildly cheering Yale rooters an icy chill by fumbling the ball. Princeton got it and the. signal was given for a kick. Kinney broke through, however, and blocked Miller’s kick and Leayenworth redeemed his laurels by falling on the ball behind the Princeton goal line amid a strug- gling heap of players Hoyt kicked goal and the score was 12 to 0. This ended the scoring. In the second half Princeton braced and the struggle was a fierce one until towards the close of the contest when Princeton, with an entire substitute back field weakened and Yale began to go through for big gains Another touchdown seemed i’m minent, but the whistle blew just as Leavenworth dashed through hole in the Tiger line at the Princeton 21-yard line.
