until two toots of a horn at 4:05 served as a notification that "Dinner is served." In a broad sense, the experts said Yale's goal was not threatened at any time during the afternoon. Her warriors were constantly urged to the at tack, and except as the battle demanded preliminary defense the ball could be secured, Yale was ever on' the offensive. Coy, Vaughan and Hobbs were favored by fortune in executing the final plays which piled up the total of 17 points against Princeton. Although obviously outclassed, the Tigers fought against defeat with superb grit. Time and again McCormick, Little Bergin, Read and the mighty Cunningham made brilliant sorties into the enemy's territory.

Their courage seemingly was amplified in the face of the inevitable and their feats compelled ringing cheers from the east stand, where Yale's prominent men of yesterday and today were massed.

St. Lquisan and Former Yale Quarterback Who Saw Yale-Princeton Game. NEW YORK, Nov. 13. YALE defeated Princeton-easily, today.

The Princeton team, although it played a great game, was entirely outclassed by the Yale team. The Yale team is one of the greatest, most versatile and most powerful teams I ever saw at Yale. The physique of the men is marvelous. The wonderful work of the tackles and ends was a revelation. They always threw the catcher of kicks in his tracks.

The catching of punts by Yale men in tho back field was the finest I have ever seen. The 'Yale team was a bit slow rh getting its attack started, but in the second half it was absolutely irresistible. That man. Coy, is the marvel of football. I think Yaie will defeat Harvard next Saturday by 12 or more points.

ui UIU OUUIIL A OF 35,000 of Battle; Tigers bulldog, but its tenderness was re- much upon Phllbin, Vaughan, event a week from today, -when iron was put forth by Princeton to stem the tide. Hef cheer leaders called repeatedly for a brand-new yell, -which la little less effective to a' Tiger warrior than the crack of a whip to a thoroughbred. For want of a better name, this yell called the "Motor." Its invention was inspired by the screech horn of an auto mobile. It begins in the lower register of the chest, continues with swift cres cendo and winds up with a whoop which can be heard for miles. Just as a polisher, the yell tempers off with a "Tiger, tiger, tiger!" The first half of the game was a won derful exhibition of brains, nimble legs and power on the part of both teams.

Punts, end runs, on-'slde kicks and forward passes were used with such rapidity that not only was the ball travelling up and down the field in bewildering progress, but the great throng was constantly on tiptoes and using their lungs in their enthusiasm. Yale slightly outplayed the Tigers, but It was a narrow margin, owing to Hart's wonderful, defensive play. Coy out-punted jMoCormlck, ut Bergen was a great handler cf'tnese punts. Coy and Daly were good ground gainers in the line attacks, but Phllbin was Sing of all In his spectacular dodging nd squirming through a broken field. called back for off-side play.

It was on this mid-time of the second half that Princeton's cheerers were electrified by a series of brilliant runs by Sparks, and it looked, for a brief time, as though the Tiger had caught its second wind. But a field goal by Cohan, and a few moments another touchdown for Yale after a series of fierce massed pfays, finally chilled. Princeton's hope. The line upt. Tale.

dem formation. But It lacked sustained power at critical times and Princeton's desperate defense was able to hold the Blue for downs under the shadow of the goal posts. Princeton's offense crumbled be fore Yale, except at spasmodic "nervals, and not once was Yale's roal ll danger. Cunningham's drop Icicle from the 45-yard line was hit by Kil-patrick's hand, but In plte of that it nearly reached the bar. Two or three times Princeton near enough to have trid for a field goal, but Instead Bergin datlngly signalled for forward passes.

It was evident that Princeton wanted a touchdown or nothing. Coy outpointed McCormick and several times sent the ball over the heads of Princeton's backfield. Twice It traveled SO yard and over the goal V.n. Then Yale ucceoded in penetrating Princeton' kicking formation, just as Lafayette and Dartmouth did, blocked two punts and nearly blocked a number of otliem.

Yale, almost at the outset of play, using in the main, her old-fash ioned pile-driver tactics, took the ball steadily down the field, only to be penalized when within striking distance of Princeton's goal. But the two most interesting crises of the first half came when a blocked punt of McCormlck's mounted high behind the goal posts, and after a series of spectacular fumbles, settled under a Princeton player, scoring a safety for Yale; and when, soon after, a second blocked punt fell also close to a goal post of Princeton, who, this time, lost the ball to Lllley, Yale's tackle, and with the goal kicked an added six went up to Yale's credit on the score board.

The second half also had its intense moments. One came when, after an exchange of punts and a forward pass, Yale got within striking distance of the Princeton goal and took the ball over in a series of plunges. It looked like a touchdown, and the Yale bleachers broke loose, only to subside into a pa thetic stillness when the team was Gophers Defeat Wisconsin, 34 to 6, and Cinch Title of Conference Colleges. MADISON. Nov.

13. Minnesota clinched the football championship of the conference colleges today, by defeating Wisconsin by a score of 34 to 6 at Camp Randall. After, the first ten minutes of play Minnesota simply outclassed its opponents. In the early part of the first half Wisconsin appeared to have at least a chance to make a "hard fight. After-Minnesota tiad scored after five minutes of play the Wisconsin team rushed the ball over the line by a series of brilliant plays and took the lead, 6 to 5.

The Minnesota team played one of the most brilliant and powerful games ever shown in this part of the country, and it is a team well qualified to hold the conference football honors of 1909. The attack was powerful and variegated and appeared to gain in its intensity and ferocity as the game progressed. Not only was the Minnesota attack powerful, but its speed fairly swept Wisconsin off its feet at times. Minnesota has had no team as powerful as the one which won today. Pickering and Rosenwald carried the ball the greater part of the time and rarely did they fail to respond with a substantial gain.

Pickering carried the pigskin over the line for four of the six touchdowns of his eleven. Rosenwald and Stevens were credited with one each. Famam kicked four goals out of six attempts and it was his failure to get the first one that gave Wisconsin its temporary lead.

Wilce and Culver of the Wisconsin back field also played strong games while Osthoff was the star of the line. made heroic efforts, but the su pcrior strength of Walker, the Minne sota strong man was too much for ittn. As the game grew older the Minnesota offense appeared to increase in power and simply tore the Wisconsin line to pieces.

Had Referee Burroughs allowed the goal the score would remain a tie. Central High partisans say the ref eree's decision cannot be questioned, as he stood directly behind the kicker.

Two thousand football fans saw the game, which was played at League Park. The scoring by both teams was done in the second period. Central getting the first after a sensational 6yard run by Quarterback Davis. Nece, le for mer McKinley High player, kicked the goal that meant defeat to his old school. Nece, however, was indirectly responsible for McKinley's touchdown, as it was his bad judgment that kept the ball in his own territory.

After Central had scored, McKinley kicked to Nece, the ball going over his head behind the goal for about ten yards. With McKinley ends at his heels Neco tried to run the ball back, and.it was luck that he was not tackled be hind his goal, which would have count ed for a safety. He punted from the two-yard line to McKinley on the 30 yard line'. Two forward passes, one to Bergessen and another to Potthoff, put the ball one foot from Central's goal.

Outplayed and outgeneraled at every point, Drake's much-touted football eleven went down to decisive defeat at the hands of Roper's Missouri Tigers on Rollins Field this afternoon, 22 to 6, and incidentally Missouri removed her only obstacle to the right to dispute with Kansas the Missouri Valley championship. Missouri played like a well-oiled ma chine and the fumbles and misplays that marred the Washington game a week ago are now forgotten and forgiven by the 2000 glad-hearted Missouri rooters who held a monster parade tonight. End runs from regular and fake formation, mixed with on-side kicks and various line smashes, kept the ball in Drake's territory most of the time and so well did the Missouri line hold that seldom was even a Drake field goal feared. Drake's lone score resulted from Bradley's fumble of an on-side kick on the 30-yard line which Havens recovered and sprinted away with. Missouri won the toss and Drake kicked off to Deatherage, who returned to the Tiger 30-yard line.

Hackney circled left end for 20 yards and Alexander took the ball to midfield on a center buck. Drake braced and Hackney boot ed an on-side kick, which Shuck recovered for a 20-yard gain. Missouri's rush took the ball to the Drake lo-yard line, but Drake held and Purdy punted out of danger. Again Missouri took up a goal march and by successive dashes by Deatherage, Curtis and Bluck placed ball on the Drake three-yard line only to be held again. Deatherage returned Purdy's punt to the 15-yard line and.
