PLAYED ON A SLIPPERY GRIDIRON Suter Did Excellent •Work Princeton and 95-Yard Rum PRINCETON, Nov. 2.- Seven hundred Hate vard undergraduates, a football team representing Harvard University, apd about 2,500 of the Harvard alumni came to towa in a drizzling rain to-day. They came pecting to see the Harvard eleven * wipe up the ground " with the eleven ing the University of New-Tersey In the noble game of football. They came laden with money which they were willing wager that Harvard would do all that expected of them, and offered odds of 2 to in their anxiety to get part of the good thing." Every one of them gay. Jolly, and confident- overconfident, it iturned out. With a score of 12 for Princeton to Harvard, the eleven from Cambridge, the graduates, and the undergraduates left town to-night crestfallen, with pockets pleted, the members of the eleven sore ically, their coaches disheartened, and the undergraduates and alumni as sore in mind as were the players in body. Princeton players, undergraduates, and graduates making the town howl to-night, and have cast up the accounts of games past Princeton, 10; Harvard, 2; drawn game in 1881. This was the first game between teafne from the two universities since 1880, and. as Harvard has no game on with Yale this year, It was the event of the season fort the boys from the banks of the River Charles. It was also the first big football game of the year, and so, a great crowd bad been expected and provided for. Princeton's athletic feld was fitted up for the occasion with banks of seats on all four sides, those on the east and west sides being the longer. Altogether, they were ready to accommodate 12,000 persons. But little more than half that number were at the grounds to see the contest, however. A hailstorm in the morning, followed : by cold and drizzling rain, kept the crowds away from this place, New-York and Philadelphia having more in the way of shelter and comfort than Princeton can offer to visitors. It became noised about, too, that the stands that had been, erected were covered affairs, and that there would be protection from the rain. That served to deter some from coming here at all, and it kept from the grounds number of ladies who had come as far as Princeton, and had then decided that the parlors at Princeton Inn, at the Nassau Hotel, or shelter wher ever It could be found, was preferable to an afternoon out in the rain. even when football game was in progress before their eyes. Princeton was thoroughly aroused before the arrival of the first of the special trains began to bring people to the town. The undergraduates were in for a day's sport, and prepared for it much after the fashion adopted by Bostonians on Bunker Hill Day for their parade of Antiques and Horribles. One crowd of enthusiastic undergraduates sheltered themselves in long oll-skin coats of the brightest yellow, bound in at the waist with wide black sashes, thus making the Princeton colors about as conspicuous as it was possible to get them. The young men belonging to the Stag Society had a novel outfit in the way of sombrero hats with crowns of yellow and wide brims of black, the black bands bearing the society name in yellow letters. Such as did not atfect one or the other of these grotesque costumes contented themselves with either wearing of the biggest yellow chrysan. themum they could find, sweaters of the approved tiger pattern, or big bunches of yellow and black ribbons in their buttonholes or about their hats. It was all yellow and black in the shop windows, at the hotels, and all about the town until the first special from New- York rolled in. This brought the larger part of the Harvard contingent. All the men from Cambridge had a bit of the crimson about them. It was either a carnation or rose a boutonnière, or a simple badge of crimson ribbon. The Harvard boys brought their huge Harvard flags of crimson with them, of course, and they. also brought their voices, with which they awoke the echoes of Old Nassau," in sharp, snappy salutations of the cheer that so often served as rallying cry, and his urged the Cambridge boys on to their best efforts when defeat seemed staring them in the face. It has but rarely proved the cheer of victory, and it did not work today. Shortly after the first of the NowYork specials, came one from Philadelphia bringing quite a delegation of students from the University of Pennsylvania. who added their red and blue badges the crimson throng, the Pennsylvania boys being violent partisans of the - Harvard eleven on this occasion. One of the Philadelphia specials brought in the Harvard players, coaches, trainers. and a few of their followers, who had gone to Trenton last night in order that they might have the benefit of personal Instruction in the intricacies of strategy as applied to foot* by the great and only Deland, who has Induced the very staid Harvard athletio managers to believe that lots of Deland strategy is superior to hard football playing in a game of football. It didn't seem to be much of a day for Deland and his strategy yesterday. Yet Harvard will continue to worship at the Deland shrine. And yet Princeton has *ficked " Harvard In 10 out of 13 games played, and Deland. was never an instructor and adviser at Prince• ton. Ex-Gov. " Billy Russell came down from. Massachusetts to act as mascot for the Harvard team, and he was the only mascot the team had, always excepting Deland. There were a lot of old-time Harvard football players along, but they didn't count, and only Deland and Lewis, the colored player of the last few years, showed up the side lines while the came was in promress. When the specials arrived, every one course made a rush for something eat. The two hotels were crowded to every place where anything to eat could be had was packed, and up to Hanged Overcoats ready trimmed as well reasonable GEORGE G. WAT. coil. H
