The funny man of the N. Y. Times, thus agonizes over the recent Princeton-Wesleyan match: The contestants formed in lines on their respective sider of the grounds. Then a stout Princeton man stepped out and spent several minutes in finding a place to put the ball. Having selected a suitable spot he brought out an egg-shaped article covered with yellow leather and deposited it with tender care on the spot. Then a slim boyish looking fellow took half a dozen quick steps forward and let out at the ball with all the grace and force of the hereafter of a Kentucky mule. The ball sailed away into the air, and the entire crowd went tearing after it. It came down and bounded once. A Wesleyan man seized it, and a Princeton man seized him, and, after slinging him round and round two or three times, threw him away in a disgusted manner. He landed about on the point of his right ear and two Princeton men jumped on him. He yelled "down!" Every one knew he was down; there was not any doubt about that. Then they let him up and the two sides formed in lines on each side of the ball. A Wesleyan man put his foot on the ball and with a sudden motion rolled it out behind him. It was seized by a Wesleyan who had been waiting and he tossed it back to another one behind him. This man kicked the ball with all his might far up among the Princeton men. All hands flashed away after it. A Princeton man got it, picked it up, and endeavored to run with it. A Wesleyan seized the Princetonian and yanked him off his feet. The next moment the man in orange and black had turned two somersaults, was lying on the ground, and four Wesleyans were walking all over him.
