THE FRESHMEN DEFEATED.
Princeton Won Another Victory from
Yale in Football.
On Wednesday, November 25th, the
Freshmen eleven played the Prince-
ton Freshman eleven at Brokaw Field,
Princeton, and were beaten by the
score of 14 to 4.
Yale showed by far the best team
work and had it not been for the
brilliant individual playing of Hille-
brand, Edwards, Booth and Wheeler,
for Princeton, the score might have
been closer. Princeton had little team
play but excelled in weight and kick-
ing.
For Yale, Captain Sullivan at quar-
ter and McBride at tackle put up the
best game. Sullivan was very steady
and handled the team excellently. In
the first half Princeton scored two
touchdowns and a_ safety and kept
Yale from scoring. But in the second
half the Yale Freshmen took a great
brace and scored, as well as holding
down Princeton to only one more
touchdown.
The game opened with Wheeler’s
kick-off to Corwin. Corwin ran back
twenty yards but dropped the ball
and Wheeler fell on it. By quick suc-
cessive line plunges Princeton brought
the ball almost to Yale’s goal. Here
Yale held them and got the ball on
downs only to have Brinley tackled
and thrown back for a safety before
he could punt.
Brinley kicked off to Wheeler who
returned the kick to Brinley. Brinley
muffed the ball and Princeton got it.
Poe and Reid, respectively made thir-
ty and twenty yard gains and then
Palmer went through the center for
Princeton’s first touch-down. Wheel-
er missed the goal. Princeton scored
once more during this half but missed
the goal, making the score, Princeton
10, Yale 0.
In the second half Brinley kicked off
io Hillebrand, who dodged through
everybody on the Yale team but Sul-
livan, who downed him on Yale’s thir-
ty yard line. Wheeler in two more
plunges made Princeton’s third and
last touch-down but failed on the try
at goal.
Ten minutes more were left to play.
Yale seemed to realize the situation
for she took a brace and bucked
Princeton’s line for long gains, Cor-
win finally going 15 yards on a triple
pass for Yale’s only touch-down.
Schweppe missed the goal. Neither
side had any particular advantage for
the rest of the game and the play end-
ed with the ball in Princeton’s pos-
session in the center of the field. The
line-up :—

Surely a Mistake.
[Caspar Whitney in Harper’s Weekly.]
The men were playing strong foot-
ball, and Pennsylvania had not drop-
ped into the game. The reason for
this was that they ran up against a
rigid umpire in Hickok, and had to be
continually penalized for playing off-
side. It is a pity that at this late date
in football history an eleven should
be coached to creep up before the ball
is put in play, so that the whole team
has to be constantly called back be-
cause of some one man’s carelessness.
This applies also to Princeton, who
was several times penalized by Dash-
iel in the first half. It not only kills
the offensive spirit in an eleven when
this penalization goes on so constant-
ly, but it forces the men, the end
rushers especially, to play an entirely
new game in a big match.

How Princeton Takes It.
(Daily Princetonian.)
With the undergraduates, the hosts
of alumni and all the friends of
Princeton, the Princetonian rejoices
in the hard-fought and well-earned
victory on Saturday. It is no small
thing to have closed a uniformly and
remarkably successful season in foot-
ball with a victory over Yale by the
largest score ever made against her
by any team.
We knew several weeks ago that our
team was a good one and there was
great confidence in its ability to de-
feat Yale expressed freely on the
Campus, however imperfectly the case
was understood by the daily papers.
But it came to most Princeton men 4s
a decided surprise that we should win
by the score we did and in a game
which was better than even the score
indicates.
It would be difficult to say whether
Yale’s team was exceptionally poor
or ours exceptionally good. Probably
both statements are true, at any rate
even with a touchdown the opposing
side could do nothing either in the
way of advancing the ball or stopping
our plays. The victory may be due
in part to an awakened enthusiasm on
the part of the students but it seems
to us that the enthusiasm which, at
any rate was not greater this year
than last, was a direct result of the
confidence felt by all in the captain
and his able body of coaches.
To Captain Cochran is due a large
share of the credit for the successful
season, by his hard and conscientious
work, in spite of the handicap of being
kept out of practice by his injuries, he
has not only shown himself a capable
leader, but also a brilliant player.
cd * ok * * * * * * * * &
The men on the team have done well
their part and deserve the reward they
now receive,—the admiration, respect
and gratitude of their fellow-students.
They have gained for themselves an
enviable reputation, but above any
consideration of personal gratification,
should come the feeling that they
have done their duty to their College.
“For Princeton’s glory” they strove,
and Princeton honors them for it. .

How Yale Takes It.
(Yale Daily News.)
Sebarday’ s defeat at Manhattan
Field naturally causes the keenest dis-
appointment to Yale men; we would
show ensurable lack of College spirit
indeed, if it did not. Nevertheless, this
feeling does not prevent us from ac-
cording full justice to our opponents.
The Princeton eleven was one of the
finest that ever that University or any
other institution produced. In of-
fense and defense the work of the
team was uniformly excellent. Their
victory was the inevitable result of all-
around superiority, and we congrat-
ulate them upon it. The Yale team,
though out-pointed and out-weighed,
played plucky football to the end.
They put forth the very best efforts
that they could muster, but their best
was not sufficient to win.
If a team and its supporters, how-
ever, take defeat like men they can
never suffer in public opinion, and al-
though no one has any preference for
defeat at any time, temporary re-
verse, if responded to in the right
spirit, can often be turned to the ad-
vantage of the losers. We have only
to look back to our past football his-
tory for instances of surprising re-
cuperative powers on the part of Yale
athletics.
If the effect of Saturday’s defeat,
therefore, is to nerve us to more earn-
est, more determined efforts in the
other branches of athletics this year,
and in football next Fall, while not
pretending to enjoy being beaten, we
can afford to takethe result philosoph-
ically and, under the goad of defeat,
devote all our energies, all our powers
to the realization of better things in
the future.

FALL ROWING NOW OVER.
Capt. Bailey Speaks of the Progress
Made by the Crew.
The Fall work of the University
crew, which has been undertaken this
Season more thoroughly than ever be-
fore, will be discontinued after next
Saturday, when the Christmas exam-
inations commence. The men have all
entered into their work with unusual
enthusiasm and under the direction of
Mr. Cook, who was in New Haven un-
til two weeks ago, have derived much
benefit from it. Since that date the
crew has beenworking without acoach,
directing their energies to developing
the principles laid down by Mr. Cook.
The men have rowed in a light e:ght-
oared barge whenever the water has
been smooth enough, and on. other
days the pair oar has been used. Strict
training has not been insisted upon,
further than was necessary for light
work. It is now considered that the
eight is as far advanced in waterman-
Ship as University crews usually are
by the end of March. The tank work
will be commenced as usual in Janu-
ary, when some of the most promis-
ing candidates, who have been play-
ing football this Fall, will be able to
row.
In speaking of the work of the crew
and the results that have been attain-
ed Captain Bailey said: ‘‘No radical
changes have been undertaken nor has
the stroke been revolutionized in any
way, but a few changes in rigging,
Such as placing the seats on alterna.e
Sides of the boat and using a longer
body swing, have been found of mark-
ed advantage to the crew. More at-
tention has been paid to the blade
work than has usually been the case
with University crews at the opening
of the season’s work.
“The training of the crew has been
performed with reference to no par-
ticular racing distance, as the stroke
which is right for a long race is equal-
ly efficatious for a short distance. On-
ly one time stretch has been, rowed,
but the trial was thoroughly satisfac-
tory.
“The valuable coaching which Mr.
Cook has given the men for about two
weeks has been, needless to say, great-
ly appreciated, all the more because it
is so unusual for him to be with the
crew during the Fall.’’
On account of afternoon recitations
which have prevented some of the
men from rowing on certain days in
the week, the order of the eight has
been necessarily changed from day to
day, so that no regular order can be
given. The full list of candidates who
have presented themselves for work
are as follows:—
George Langford,
