The championship game on Saturday between Princeton and Harvard resulted in an overwhelming victory for Princeton. The most despondent supporters of Harvard did not expect such a defeat, so complete at every point, and the huge score piled up by Princeton seems almost inexplicable. At the end of the first half with the score fifteen to ten in Harvard's favor, prospects seemed bright for a victory; but after Harvard made a safety in the second half the game was decided, for from that time forward Princeton raised the score in a remarkable manner. At only one point in the game did Princeton lose confidence; after Harvard had made her first lucky touchdown five minutes after play began she came up to the game with renewed vigor, and proceeded to rush the ball down behind Harvard's goal for a touchdown; after Trafford's goal from the field the Princeton men went at the play again with a rush, and soon had Harvard's score headed by one point. At this time, however, Harvard began playing a much stronger game and for a few minutes the Princeton men seemed to lose heart and allowed the ball to be rushed rapidly down the field. The ensuing play, which resulted in a touchdown by Lee, was the best one Harvard made throughout the game, for at that time the rushers broke through the line and blocked off beautifully, while Lee's work was superb. Princeton played a rough game throughout but the eleven was weakened very little by the loss of the men who were ruled off for foul play. Harvard's work was a trifle stronger than Princeton's in the first half, while in the second, every man on the home team weakened perceptibly, and the Princeton men got through Harvard's rushline without trouble. It is a question to what was due Harvard's weakening in the last third of the game but the great fault seemed to be that the men were not trained to play such a long and hard game. For a time the Harvard team played a game remarkble both for its strength steadiness and quickness, and if they could have kept it up Princeton would surely have been beaten. It was plain, however, that the strain on the men was too great. At Princeton the men are required to play for all they are worth for two hours every day and the effect of this training told very plainly in yesterday's contest. On the other hand while Harvard's team was in some respects individually better than Princeton's, none of the men could hold out at their best play for a game so long and rough as yesterday's.

For Harvard Cumncok and Crosby played a marvellously fine game during the first half and their tackling especially was a feature. Cranston, Tilton, Upton and Stickney also did finely Lee distinguished himself behind the lines for some good runs while Trafford and Saxe's punting gained ground repeatedly. All the backs, however, fumbled too much through the whole game. Dean's play was the steadiest on the field. His passing was accurate and his tackling was vigorous at all times. He and B. Trafford were about the only men on the team who were not almost exhausted when time was called.

For Princeton Ames did by far the best work and may be said to have won the game. He was given the ball very few times during the first half and this circumstance together with the fact that he also made some bad fumbles, seemed to indicate that little confidence could be placed in him. He entirely disproved this opinion, however, by his later work. He had been saved during all the first half and so when play began again he was comparatively fresh, and did his work without any signs of fatigue. His kicking also helped materially to win the game. Channing was another man who distinguished himself. His rushing and dodging were remarkable and he seldom failed to gain the requisite five yards. No one could tackle him and he generally managed to squirm along a few yards after being downed. Black the other half back did very little good work and allowed Ames and Channing to make all the large gains. Poe, the captain, at quarter back was indefatigable. He assisted the rushers and backs at every point, making holes for them and pushing them along by his own individual effort, and never failed to use his men to the best advantage. In the rush line Cowan did by far the best work. His weight was of inestimable advantage to him in rushing and bunting through the line. Donnelly played well at end rush before he got put off for foul play, and Jones did far better than Riggs who was also disqualified for making a foul play. Princeton's better team work did not become apparent until the second half when all the rushers blocked off the Harvard men effectively, and made it possible for Ames and Channing to advance the ball many yards every rush.

The day was a perfect one for foot-ball although the ground was a little slippery. The largest crowd that has ever been on Jarvis witnessed the game and encouraged the players. About three hundred Princeton men had come up, and there was also a large number of Yale men including six of the regular Yale eleven.

The two elevens came on the field at 2.35 and ten minutes later they lined up as follows:
