  Yale Wins the Great Football Con- test at New York. OVER THIRTY THOUSAND PEOPLE WITNESS THE GAME. Princeton Works Hard, But Yale Comes Out Victorious by Score of I9 to O-Chfcago University Defeats Cor nell-Games at Cleveland, Omaha, Milwaukee and Denver. Special to the REcoRD-USrox. y long will it be remembered by the thou sands who saw one of the finest games ever played in this country. 1t was q fight on its merits, and the best team won. The great throng began to gather before the gates opened at 10 O’Clock, and soon after all manner of vehicles began to arrive. Tally-hos, crowded with shout ing students, were to be seen on every thoroughfare leading to the grounds. They were drared in blue and draped in orange and black, but which ever color il was the noise was just the same. From every row of seats huttered orange and black flags and blue flags, and it was difficult to tell which color was more prevalent. Many women, so there would be no mistake as to their sympathies. wore blue costumes, while others. and particularly a bevy of handsome brunettes, wore striking costumes of orange and black. The first person to take seat in the grand stand was a handsome young woman who wore an immense yellow chrysanthemum. She occupied seat in front, and when the Princeton boys saw her they howled loud and long. The grounds were not III good conditon. The rain of Monday had left more marks than could be covered up by the little sawdust on hand, and yesterdays game between Pennsylvania and Wesleyans left the turf badly cut up. The rain which fell to-day did not help things. 1t ceased entirely before the game began, however, and every one was happy Fully thirty-seven thousand persons were In attendance before the game was called at 2 o’clock. Princeton won the toss, and chose the west side Of the field. SymmeS, the great center-rush Of Prince ton, had the ball, and as the players drew up he snapped it back TO King, star quarter-back. Quick as lightning the famous ‘‘N’ trick was played, and amid wild cheers for Princeton was recorded eight hard-fought yards. Again Symmes shot the sphere back and Flint made dash, only to lose five yards when downed by the great HefeIfinger. Homans gave his friends the first sight Of his ability as kicker when he sent 1t back like shot for thirty yards into 1ale’s territory. Mccormack caught in clever style, and it was snapped back TO Yale’s Captain, McClung, who amid a storm Of cheers made one of his famous runs and records of the game at fifteen yards. He was finally thrown heavily by Vincent of Princeton. Bliss, in a great squirt, made five yards, and soon another gain, but was downed by Vim cent. In the second five minutes Captain McClung made gain of twenty yards, but was finally tackled and thrown by the giant Riggs. Close fighting, in which three downs were counted against Yale. raised the excitement of the multitude to fever. Then the Yale cohorts cheered a thirty-five-yard punt by Bliss, but directly after old reliable Homans returned 1t back twenty-five yards into the hands of Captain McClung. In the next five minutes Mccormack gained fifteen yards, only to be tackled beautifully by Poe. Again Homans made one of his famous kicks for forty yards, and his men rushed on so swiftly that the ball was put in play on down. Hetfelfinger could make but tour yards in the rush, but the ball was still with the blues. The ‘‘V’‘ trick failed to work, and Bliss kicked the ball forty yards, while the Yale people cheered un- Til the very air was blue. twenty-five minutes passed, with no points scored. Homans worked a clean catch of Bliss punt of forty yards, and after the men lined up made gain OF five yards. Then the ball flew back to Homans, who kicked it well into Yale’s territory into McCormack’s hands, forty yards down the field. McClung lost on Harold’s tackle. and Bliss kicked for twenty yards before the ball was caught legs where anindividual play could not be noted made the crowd frantic, and as the tangle was loosened it was seen that Yale had the ball. Thirtyfive minutes passed, and nc points. ale forced the play now. Nc CIung and Mccormack failed to gain. and Bliss punted the ball well into Prince toms territory. On the return Me- Cormack failed to catch Homans’ punt, but fell on the ball, saving it for Yale Scrimmage after scrimmage followed and Riggs of Princeton showed what q hero he was as he prevented Heffelfingel gaining for Yale with mighty rush o1 his two hundred pounds. Forty-lve minutes passed and Yale had the ball, but gained little ground. There was but five minutes more of the first half to play. McClung made a desperate ten-yard gain, and Bliss advanced the ball still further, to be thrown heavlily by Vincent, who also gained the ball amid wild yell from all the admirers OF the Tigers” Then Princeton’s Captain tried his f1ll-backs ability at a punt five yards, and found Mccormack wait ing for it. Vincent was on his back before the ball was cold. Only two minutes were left Every nerve was at tension. a drizzling rain began falling, but was unnoticed The ball shot back to Bliss, and the inning ended with five yards gain for Flint by the use OF the ‘‘V’‘ trick. When the teams came on for the sec ond half the Princeton boys were very confident, while desperation was pictured on the face of every Yale player. A determined effort was made at the outset to break through Princeton’s line. After a tremendous fight the Princetons, with dismay, beheld the gigantic Heffelfinger make an opening, through which Nc Clung was carried for five yards Prince ton fought hard, but the Yale army pierced their center, while the wearers OF orange and black began to wonder in what manner the weakness suddenly came over their center and rush line. Another fight took place. Yale advanced two yards, and then with a great hurrah the bali is snapped back to Nc Cormick, while the rush line fought Princeton down and made an opening through which Mccormick made the first touchdown. Bedlam was let loose. fiyi g high on every side. and yell went up that pierced the clouds. Yale 4, Princeton o. The pig-skin was then brought back to the forty-yard line, where Princeton tried the “V’ trick, and made five yards head way before Flint went to grass. They returned TO the attack with vigor, and Flint was rushed past Yale’s line two yards, while Poe made 4 circuit around Yale’s left end for three yards. 1t was a bad omen for the orange and black, Yale went to work with hammer and tongs. McClung sneaked around Prince toms right end and Winter went through the center and made another touch

  1oll0werS or the bIue encourage tnem Win q series of wild yells. Captain McClung has given his men some timely advice, and they realize that q determined effort must be made at the outset to break through PrIneeton’s line. Riggs has been holding big Heffeltnger quite safe, and Princeton has been tackiing well. too. 1t is fale’s ball. and with mighty effort she wedges through Princeton’s line for five yards. On the next down Princeton holds her own. but presently Yale brushes through Princeton’s center for five yards. and before the air 10 yet clear OF flying mud Princton’s center has been punctured for two yards more. PrInoetonians look on in dismay as the gigantic Heiielhnger is carried for five yards Princeton is grad ually losing ground, and nothing but the loss of the ball for Yale can prevent the blues from planting the ball past Princeton’s goal. ray OF light apfumbles the ball. but before further dam. age is done Bliss pounces on the BAH and holds il for Yale. Again the advancing Yale army plerces Princeton’s center five yards, while the wearers of the orange and black begin to wonder what manner of weakness has suddenly come over their center aud entire rush line In fact The ball has been crowded down to Princeton’s twenty-fve-yarti against an attempted run by McClung. Yale advances five yards through the left tackle and McClung goes around the four yards. Winter is slightly hurt. but resumes play aud with apparent ease Yale crowds Princeton to the five yard line In the southeast corner of the field. On the next attack Yale advances two yards. and then with great hurrah the down and makes the opening through which Mccormick makes the first touchdown. Bedlam is let loose Yale on every side to the deafening cheers of wall of human beings on the north, echoed to the southern pavilion and back and forth until almost the armament must DO anxious TO pierce the watery clouds and show forth it’s own majestic blue. Even the ministerial Stagg is OBJ served to swing high his cane and shout Justify for his favorites. The hubbub sub sides a. McCiung fails to kick goal The score Is: Yale, 4; Princeton, o. BAD OMEN FOR THE TIGERS” The ball has been in play twelve minutes. and Yale has never lost it. the pig-skin is brought back to the twenty-fve-yardl line, where Princeton tries the “” trick. and makes five yards headway before Flint goes to the grass. Princeton makes FIVE yards through the center, and her followers howl their enthusiastic Acknowledgements. Princeton returns the attack with vigor and Flint is rushed past Yale’s line two yards and little JOHNNIE Poe makes circuit around Yale’s left end for three yards. 1t is a bad omen for the orange and black. Yale goes to work hammer and tongs and at the first onslaught the Princeton warriors recede live yards. The crafty McClung sneaks around Princeton’s right end, and before Princeton can corral him he is within three yards OF Princetons goal. In O twinkling Winter is through Prince toms center and makes another touch down, while Yale’s enthusiasm breaks forth again. The cheering increases In volume. and Yalesmen sing songs, while McClung tries for goal again. He fails to kick 1t, but the score is: Yale, 3; Princeton. 0. Again the ball is brought back to the twenty-five-yard line. Princeton sees her only salvation in punting. and the ball is passed to Homans, who kicks it twenty yards. but out of bounds. The athletic McClung is under the ball; and. as he catches it, he is hurled violently to the earth. The ball is still in Princeton’s territory. and Yale makes no gain on the first down. and in the next scrimmage Princeton regalns the ball. Ho.nans pnnts low, but Hetsltnger jumps and blocks the flight of the bGll, which goes through for ten yards. but hurts his arm and time is called while the trainers administer massage to the injured end. but finds 1T firm. McCormick makes five yards through the center, but on the next attempt gains no headway. Winter also fails to advance. but Yale is content. The ball is on Prince toms twenty-yard line. and Princeton can not repulse Yale’s steady attacks CALLED 1T HARD LUCK. Princeton gets the ball for off-side play and Homans again resorts to puntIng. Either his foot is too wet or the bail is too greasy. for it again goes out of bounds and McClung pounces upon it, Hard luck” saith the Princetonians. Every thing is against u.s.” McClung is guided past Princeton’s right end for five yards. Bliss tries to repeat the operation. but fails signaliy. Yale gets five ards for off-side play. Bliss and Morrison try the ends again, but are downed without gains. Now Hefielhnger makes a feint as if to rush, but the ball has boen snapped back 10 Mccormick, who made one OF the prettlest plays of the day. From the thirty-yard line he kicked goal from the field. 1t takes Princeton by snrprise. Her tigers | stand in open-mouthed astonlshment. | at the bold aud clever performance of | Yale’s full back. The rain comes down in | torrents. but the storm cannot quench the | enthusiasm that manlfests itself on every side. The score is: Yale, Is; Princeton. O much rope and proceeds to complete | Prlnceton’s discontinue. McClung runs | five yards around Princeton’s left | end. Yalc’s interference is beautiful; | SO every body says and but for Kings fine | tackling Yale’s runs would play havoc with Princeton.

Now comes the star play of the game. | The fair and long-haired Bliss is detailed to pass the enemy’s lines. | The ball is passed TO him. | while the Yale rushers fight down | their adyersaries on every hand.

The cheering is at its height. Bliss | has run seventy yards, three-quarIers of the length of the field. and has safely passed Princeton’s goal line.

Flint tries his | hand. and Poe also, but neither advance. and time is called with the ball slightly in Yale’s territory. The scene and sounds cannot be described.
