PRINCETON DEFEATED By Yala and Other Gamee—Great Day In Football, Moat Interesting of all the days of the football season, last Saturday saw aome hard fought battle* but no surprise*. With snow, hall and rain falling alternately on a allppeyr gridiron Yale defeated PrincMoo In the annual fool-! ball game at Princeton on Saturday; by a score of 11 to 6. Thirty thousand spectators surrounded tbe battlefield and aaw one of the most sensational games on record. At tbe end of the first half the score stood 6 to 0 In favor of Princeton, due to a superbly made touchdown by Tibbott and n clever goal kicked by Waller. Up to that point Princeton clearly outplayed Yale and looked a winner, but with same old grit and reserve strength, which have won many football struggles for the New Haven University. Yale came back In the second half with a wonderful brace. By shrewd generalship Yele for the first time began to use Ooy.the great est football player In America today. It was th!» young giant, aided by Irresistible Interference on the pan of Brides. Goebel and other Yale men, who tore the Princeton’s defence to tatters, made two touchdowns, from one of wldch Hobbs kicked a goal. Up at Cambridge Harvard took me tnasure of Dartmouth, but with considerable difficulty. At Arbor Pennsylvania's eleven defeated Michigan so derisively tumight seem to prove me superior quality of eastern football^veu though me Western team was largely green limber, while the Quakers have many veterans. Another Intersect!onal contest of hardly leas Interest was me Cornell-Chicago contest at Chicago, which ended In a tie. All in all it was a great day for loom all and whets me appetite for more big games. Eyes of all sport loving Americans will be upon me Yale-Harvard duel at New Haven next Saturday.
