Several penalties were inflicted by the OIL ( ficials and each team suffered alike i’m this respect. / Time was taken out twice because Of in / juries to Princeton players. but Yale did | not ask for single instance. Captain Dill ! lon OF Princeton was forced to retire from ! the game, as was also Harlan. In the last minute Of play with Yale pushing the Princeton team steadily toward the lat { ter’s goal, Roome, Yale’s great halfbacE. ! who has been incapacitated, trotted on / the field. Yale supporters became almost delrious and yelled frantically for ! “Roome,” “Roome;” Touchdown” Touch down. but just as the Yale crack was making ready TO get into the lineup the / whistle blew, announcing the close of the game. The teams were on the field seventy. seven minutes. which is probably a record game for shortness / The crowd was the largest that ever wit messed a Hale-Princeton game, in Prince | ton, it being estimated at 5000.

PRINCETON. y. j., Nov. 10.-Princeton and Yale played a 0 to 0 football game, the first time in nearly a score of years that both elevens have failed to score against each other. There is no delirium of joy in Old Nassau. The wearers of the orange and black had confidently expected to win. They argued that the Princeton team this fall was Of the best product. and so hopeful were they of ultimate success that odds of 5 to 3 were freely accepted just prior to the game that Yale would be defeated. But the Princeton eleven of this season was Il sad disappointment. The lightning-iike plays which the coaches had beel de pending on to confound the Yale boys were wocfully lacking, and L. Dillon, the wonderful little quarterback, on whom such high hopes had been lr.it. fulnbled mlserably. This was especial. ly the case on punts.
