Gam* of Tli*lr Livti.
New York, -D6c. 1:—On a splashing
field and under a pouring rain the Yala
football eleven vanquished the Prince
ton "t'gors" in n well-fought game,
whose final score was 24 to 0.
There was many n downcast faco in
Jbo great metropolis this morning when
tlie thousands who had gathered from
nil quarters' until they had filled tint?
hotel la the eW.y to the point of con
coition, rose from tlie’r crowded apart
ments and looked upon a dreary pros-
pect.of a drizzling rain storm. . Dunn
fite famous weather wizzard, tried to
allay iheir fears by giving forth a
prophecy, wh'ch was read with' eager
eyes In every morning paper. He said
the drizzle was meant for smriv and
if the pretense was not turned into ihe
real article by the time the snn was
high, the rn’u would cease. But, alas,
the prediction was not true, for it was
in mud and slush two inches deep, un
dor a pouring ruin and an air loaded
w'th pneumonia that 20,000 people
s;ood, sat or leaned upon tao fencis
u.l tho time the battle was fought,
Only <i small portion of the stands was"
covered, so It became a question of the
seat-holders to sit In the rala or go
' home.
Ihe rain set Cn soon after the open
ing of the gates^ of Manhattan hold.
Lmfbrellus were opened up • nnd the
crowd concluded to s.t out. The at
tendance was probably 5,000 less than
It would have toeeiwm a half-way fair
day. Fifteen thousand seats were 60ld
by the management and, while many
of them .were not occupied, there was
uo financial loss on -them. - Admission
tickets entitling holders to standing
room were printed to tho number of
7.300. Only 4,000 of these were sold.
The Princeton men had blocked in
tlieir grand stand 400 seats for the root
ers. and these were all filled.
Tho spirited songs of “Old Nassau”
and the “Rooket Cheer” for Princeton
ovoked a storm of answering yells all
over the field for Yale. Yale's sjippO'.t
era wore dot more numerous Mhnn
Princeton's, and were well scattered
through-the field.
The north side of the field was lined
with -tho Yale and Princeton coaches
. with their accustomed prodigality of
college colors and deafening yellers.
Yolo had twelve and Princeton four
coaches. Superintendent] of Police
Byrnes was determined that It
army of bluecoats could protect tho
populaoe, they were to be on hand.
Fully 230 of these olltcers were on the
field and Inspector Couiln saw- that
they did their duty. Those on tho side
lines had minute instructions as to
what a gentlemanly game of football
was, and were oarofnlly instructed !f
a repetition of the slugging so widely
condemned in tho Springfield match
should he begun to put a stop to the
game at once. Thi3 order was not
needed, however, for there never was a
cleaner gamo played than was (he one
today. The playing at times was hard
and even desperate. Two Yale men,
Murphy and Thorne, and oho I’rlnce-
KH man, Cochran, had to bo retired
fnm the field on account of injuries,
hut nil three went. Into the game In
bad condition nnd received tlieir bruises
today as much from their own ns their
epponfiUts’ knocks.
THE ClIIN TOSSED.
■ It was Just 2 03 -o'clock whin tho
captains e.irao together and the coin was
tossed. Yale's utek was with her and
the choice, was her’s. She look the
west goal with lie slant ng r.t'n to her
back. Princeton theref»:a took the
ball and the game liega'i.
Princeton’s confidence was in her now
/system of 'nterfe.-Mce. It'was a very
pretty spectacle,, but It was worthless
before Yale's agile forwards Only
once or twice in the whole'same -I'd
It work at all, 30 that though it was
tried repeatedly it wall hard to tell from
the s'de lines wherein ‘ts miicli-laud. il
qualities for ground- gaining wore
.thought to lie. Thi formation Was tli s:
The whole bum, except Biggs and
Ward, ranged themselves.in a group
five yards back of the line. Ward, In
stead of playing his usual posir.on at
quarter-back,' moved up and made a
Itiuff at playing guard. As the signal
was given Brown, Holly and Wheeler
ran around and blocked ott tho for
wards on the side of the line, while the
rest of the teafb formed a runn.ng in
terference ahead of the hall, which was
snapped by Riggs to Trenchant Instead
of Ward and delivered by him to one
• of the books. Tho trouble with It was
tim the three meu who ran ahead to
block off the forwards were fooled by
the w'ly rllnkey, who dodged around
them and taokled the tanner behind
his own interference. If the other end
were tried, then the giant Beard or
Butterworth simply annihilated the

skirted the ends a yard. With ties,
her greatest ground of coafidcuce de-
t.-oyed, Princeton was not In the same
class with Yale today. Neither Coot-

with the mighty Butterworth, and when
It came to h'.tt’ng the line all the baclti

THE GREAT BUlTSIlWOKTIT.
Some of Ids end rims and same of
hi* line plunges In which be shot over
tho whole Princeton team as they knelt
to stop him and us id their sl.ppery
hacks, as a toboggan Wide to advance
the-ball behind them, were something
that will go down for gouerat.ous in
the annals of football. Princeton's
backs made good plunges at tlinVs but
none of the’r pli/s-wece great aud the
ridiculous fumbling which they served
up to tho weary publlo was certa.nly
not worthy of the great game they were
playing. Yale's line, too, outclassed
Princeton's hi every particular! 6ave
one or two.
Wheeler began by looking etc to
Yale's twenty-yard line. Two minutes
later Butterwol-th was over the 1 no
with the pigskin and H ckok kicked
au easy goal. Score: Yala t>, Prtoce-
ton 0. •
Wheeler kicked off again, and after
five minutes of sharp play Brown of
Princeton was knocked out and the
game had to stop nut'l tho doctors
sponged' him -off. Five minutes later
another touchdown by Butterworth and
goal kicked by Hlokox-mndo the score
12 to 0.
For tho third time IVheelcr made the
opening kick. Cochran, Princeton'S
full back,;was Injured in the cheat end
retired In favor of Baunard. He was
found to be in the same class with
Cochran. Another touchdown for
Butterworth and goal kicked by Hlckok
made -the score IS t* 0 and euded die
first half.
Hlckok kicked off. Princeton’s play
lng. was full, of fire, and bets were of
fered that she would tie the score, she
persisted, though, in trying her new
fangled interference, which had al
ready proved its usstess :ves. She could
not gain fivo yards on three trials of it.
Thorne and Mut-piiy had to give place
to Letton and Chatlwck. It was tho
samo old story again, only litiuls
Hlnltey mnda tho touchdown and
Hlckok kicked tho goal. Score: Yale
24, Princeton 0. rime twenty-four
minutes.
For twelve minutes after the next
kick-off by Wheeler, the two teams vi
brated on cither sldo of the center line,
neither making any long gains, when
by Buttej-worth’s superior punting
Princeton’s goal was again threatened.
The rain had stopped now and
crowd' had laid aside their umbrellas
and regained their enthusiasm. The
ball was ou Princeton’s thirty-yard lino
and the Y-ltle hacks gave their support
ers something to cheer wotth the name.
Ono after another they Skirted tho ends
for steady gains of five aud eight yards
until the toall’a old res:, fig place was
reached onoe more, namely Princeton’s
five-yard Hue. Tho r gars got it there,

Washington. Dec. 1.—Tho report that
Minister Denby -had appealed (or help
in a cablegram to -the department of

patch. instead of commg yesterday,
was received -last Monday, and the mw
vy department immediately cabled to
Admiral Carpenter, directing him to
deliver a draft of fifty marines to tho
Monocacy at Tien-Tsln. As the old
Monocaly could not furnish accommo
dations for such an increase to her
crew. It Is to be presumed that the
men were to be landed. Admiral Car
penter, however, must have faiwd to
receive the order, for early In the
morning of the 27th a cablegram f.vaa
received from him announcing the de
parture of the Baltimore for Nagasaki,
where her arrival was reported , two
days later. To soy that the authorities
of the navy department are very much
chagrined over Admiral Carpenter's
action la -this matter only mildly ex
presses the state of feeling. While It
is well known here that no foreigner
is ssfd on Chinese territory today, the
flagship la leisurely coaling at the
Plenesnt port of Nagasaki, and the
second Important ship of the fleet, the
Charleston, lias been over a month at

a vestige of danger to American In
terests, the strong Japanese force there
maintaining the best of order.
It Is known -that some sharp mes
sages have been sent to the admiral
In the rest two days, and that he his
been directed to send the Charleston
at once to the Chinese coast, is is also
understood, though, in the present Ir

confirm it, that Minister Denby -was

'Montgomery, Ala-,. Dec. 1.—The first
day of December has come and gone
In Alabama's capital and all has been
as quiet, peaceful atfd btderly as upon
any previous Inauguration day in Its
history. Col. W. C. Oates baa been
duly Installed as governor and not a

not a drop of blood spilled, notwith
standing .the wild rumors itlhat have
been sent for a week post by sensa

The weather has been admirable for
some days, and today has been nn Ideal
one in every respect. However, there
was not an unusual influx of visitors to
(he city. Last flight and (Ms morning
perhaps 200 of Kolb's followers, for tlho
most port in .typlcsl farmers’ dress,
came to khe city, but there -was no
display of arms of any sort. Before 10
o'clock this' morning the casual ob
server would have 'barely discerned
that It wun a gula day. At that hour
(he local and the visiting mllKmry com
ponies Begun Ito move about the streets
getting Toady for the ceremonies; but
there was no great crowd to be seen
arid ewryri-.tr.g was serene.
About 10:30 it was rumored that Cobb
was going to proceed with his Handful
of followers to illhe oapltol, there to go
through the form of taking the o-atlh of
office and to -make an address. Soon
afterwards ai oompauy of mounted cav
alry 'proceeded to the caipvtol <amd drew
themselves up in Bae to -the side of tho
front of a he building. Next a company
of tnfaintry appeared and lined itself on
the stone steps and approaches leading
up to -the building. Another company
formed lines ait the gate to the grounds.
AU citizens, however, -were allowed
ready Ingresa and egress, and hundreds
of ladles and children gathered in the
grounds to front of the historic edifice.
A charge of cl (y. police -had charge of
ihn steps leading up the hill to (he
grounds of (he stone walks to the build
ing and of (he Greek columned portloo
of -the captftol. No one was allowed to
remain on the steps or approaches or

In Whtdh he declared that be wan not

advise any unlawful proceeding*. He
neserted chut he had been lawfully
elected and had bseu defrauded: tart
he had pursued this ootrrse simply to
emphasize the position of himself and

I office. He stated that If a fair and
iKuest contest law was paused by the
present general assembly that would
settle all the trouble and be satisfactory
to -the people as well os him. If this
act of Justice Is denied then he will
make an appeal to the general govern

moderation and against any unlawful
proceeding.
He was followed by Dr. C. B.
Crowe, who Is now under indictment
for mundor and one of the most In
cendiary Kolbite speakers during the
lampatgn. He said he was called an
anarchist, but be wanted to advise
hie hearers now to be peaceable, not
to commit any overt act, to leave the
matter to the leaders. He concluded by

Crowe's Invitation for th, formation of
