Yale defeated Princeton on Saturday at New York in the second great contest for the college football championship by a score of ten points to nothing. About fifteen thousand spectators assembled at the Polo Grounds to see the game. The teams were made up of the following men:

Yale.- Wallace, Gill, Woodruff, Corbin, (centre), Heffifinger, Rhodes, Stagg; Wurtemburg, (Hervey), quarter-back; McClung and Graves, half-backs; Bull, full-back.

Princeton.- Spear, Cook, Irvine, George, (centre), Janeway, Cowan, (Riggs), Bovaird; R. Hodge, quarter-back; Channing and Black, half-backs; Ames, full-back.

Mr. W. A. Brooks, Jr., was referee, and Mr. Fred Fisk, umpire.

Yale won the toss and chose the north end of the field, taking advantage of the light wind. The ball was passed to Hodge from the kick-off, but he was downed before he gained ten yards. A sharp rush by Channing advanced the ball twenty yards and short runs by Black and Cowan carried it close to Yale's goal line. Here the ball went to Yale, and Gill getting it, carried it well toward the centre of the field. Bull punted and Ames returned. After kicking by both backs the ball went finally to Yale on Princeton's twenty-yard line. Bull tried for a goal from the field but missed. Princeton brought the ball out to the twenty-five yard line, where it was dribbled to Black. He ran around Stagg's end and carried the ball fifty yards before he was stopped by Bull. Channing advanced the ball still further into Yale's territory, and a strong rush by Cowan brought it within a yard of Yale's line. Princeton failed to score, however, and the ball went to Yale on four downs. A sharp rush by Graves carried the ball away from the Yale line, and a long punt by Bull sent the ball close to Princeton's goal. The ball was passed to Bull, who made a drop kick for goal, and the ball went over the bar fairly between the poles. Score, Yale, 5; Princeton, 0. Princeton started the ball from the centre of the field, but Yale soon got it, and was forcing it towards Princeton's line when time for the first half was called.

Princeton got the ball soon after play for the second half was called and Ames, by a long punt, sent it close to Yale's goal. At this point in the game, Wurtemburg was disqualified for slugging Channing. Harvey took his place. Yale slowly forced the the ball up the field, but Princeton again getting it, Ames sent it back by a long punt to Yale's twenty-yard line. Bull returned the kick and the ball went in the crowd on the side of the field. Yale again got the ball and a rush by Graves and a punt by Bull sent the ball close to Princeton's line, where Ames, attempting to rush, was downed by Stagg. Ames, however, sent it well into the centre of the field by a long punt. Yale, by short rushes, forced the ball to Princeton's twenty-five-yard line. Here Cowan was disqualified for foul tackling and Riggs took his place. Princeton regained some lost ground, but the ball, going to Yale on a foul, was forced slowly towards Princeton's goal and was suddenly passed to Bull, who kicked another goal from the field. Score Yale, 10; Princeton, 0.

Princeton played with little snap after this point was scored and time was called a few minutes later.
