YALE ON THE PRINCETON GAME.

The following, clipped from the Yale News, relates to the Yale-Princeton foot-ball game last Saturday: -

"In the opinion of impartial spectators the general playing of Yale was much superior to that of Princeton. Princeton's goal was in danger nearly all the time during the first half; and it was owing to an unprecedented combination of circumstances that Yale failed to score two or three goals. On the other hand Yale's goal was in danger only once, excepting the one time when the lucky run of Lamar secured Princeton a touch-down. The playing of Princeton during the first half was disorganized and lacking spirit. In the second half she improved considerably, but even then Yale's playing was superior. The score was in favor of Princeton by the sheerest luck. But in all the beauties of the game Yale far excelled. Could the game be played over to-day it is the almost universal opinion that the chances would be two to one in favor of Yale's winning."
