Princeton, 10; Yale, 0.

Yale Shut out for the First Time Since 1878.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Fully 30,000 people witnessed the final contest in the intercollegiate league yesterday, when Yale played Princeton at the Berkeley oval. The supporters of Yale predominated and were re-en-forced in their cheering by several hundred Harvard students, who were to a man in favor of Yale.

At least 35,000 persons applied for admission to the grounds between 12.30 and 2 o'clock and fully 5000 had to be turned away. More persons paid for admission to the two grand stands than could be accommodated with sea sand these had to take their chances with the howling, cheering crowd which surrounded the ropes on all sides. A great many ladies were present, accompanied by their brothers or escorts and they cheered just as loudly as their male companions.

The Yale team came on the field at 2.20 and was greeted with a deafening volley of shouts and tin horn tooting. The Princeton team soon followed and after a short bit of preliminary practice the teams took up their positions. Yale won the toss and played the first half with the wind and sun slightly in their favor. The players were:

Donnelly end Hartwell

Cowan tackle Rhodes

Janeway guard Newell

George centre Hanson

Riggs guard Heffelfinger

Cash tackle Gill

Warren end Stagg

Poe quarterback Wurtemburg

Channing half-back Harvey

Black half-back McClung

Ames full-back McBride

As the men faced each other they appeared to be pretty evenly matched. Princeton had the strongest rush line, but before the game was far advanced, she lost one of her best men. George who had his knee cap hurt and the tendons of his ankle broken, was sent to the Murray Hill hotel in an ambulance and Jones substituted in his place. Rhodes of Yale was ruled off for foul tackling.

Princeton started the ball and Poe gained ten yards. Ames then kicked the ball which was returned by McBride and several tussles followed. Another kick by Ames was caught by Stagg who gained a few yards for Yale.

As often as Princeton secured the ball, Ames kicked and always sent it well down into the field. Princeton in this way forced the ball near to Yale's goal but it was soon kicked back again. Yale got ten yards on a foul and forced the ball fifteen yards ahead. Ames then made a long run but was shoved outside the line and McClung got the ball. Harvey of Yale had to retire, and Morrison was substituted. Ames and Cowan then made long runs alternately but when time was called neither side had scored.

After fifteen minutes recess. Yale forced the ball to Princeton's fifteen yard line. But by some brilliant playing by Ames, Princeton got the ball clear and soon forced it near Yale's goal. Ames kicked it over the line and the Yale eleven became confused and almost lost the ball. They secured a touchback, however, and kicked from the 25 yard line. By a series of sharp pushes and rushes Princeton then carried the ball forward to Yale's goal line, and Warren made the first touchdown. Goal was kicked by Ames. Score 6 to nothing in favor of Princeton Towards the end of the second half another touchdown was made for Princeton by Cowan. Time was called, score, 10 to nothing in favor of Princeton.

Yesterday's game was a repetition of the Harvard-Princeton game in one particular. As with Harvard, Princeton played very closely with Yale in the first half and the chances slightly favored Yale. But Princeton's superior powers of endurance were shown in the second half at no time during which was the game in doubt.
