THE PRINCETON GAME.

THE game with Princeton was played last Saturday on the St. George's Cricket Grounds at Hoboken. The weather was admirable, with the exception of a strong wind, blowing lengthwise of the field, from the south. Game was called soon after three o'clock. Princeton won the toss, and took the south side, in order to get the advantage of the wind. Warren kicked off for Harvard, and the ball was soon forced near to Harvard's goal. Harvard was then obliged to touch down several times, for safety. The two Cushings, and Morse, of Harvard, and McNair, of Princeton, made several fine plays. About ten minutes before the first three-quarters had expired, McNair got a chance for a drop-kick, and kicked a goal. The ball was then forced back to Princeton's goal; and two touch-downs were made, for safety. After a rest of ten minutes play was resumed, Harvard having the wind in her favor. The ball was soon forced to Princeton's goal; and at one time Winsor, by a fine drop-kick, missed a goal by only six inches. The game then varied, from one end of the field to the other, but nothing was made on either side. When time was called, Princeton was declared the winner. Score, one goal to nothing. After the usual cheers, the players returned to New York. The game was well played throughout; and the safety touch-downs on either side were nearly equal in number.

The play of Princeton was characterized by fine passing to the half-backs, and by a general discipline prevailing throughout the team, which made their playing more effective than ours. The utmost good-feeling was displayed on either side, - an agreeable contrast to the treatment experienced by our team at New Haven. The teams were as follows:-

Princeton - Forwards: Bradford, McDermott, Devereaux, Brotherlin, Ballard (captain), Loney, Peace, Bryan; Half-backs: Withington, Lee, McNair, and Farr; Backs: Horton, Duncan, and Cutts.

Harvard - Forwards: Morse, Manning, W. Cushing, Tebbets, L. Cushing, Warren, Howe, Thatcher, and Nickerson; Half-backs: Bacon (captain), Winsor, Houston; Three-quarter backs: Cabot; Backs: Leatherbee and Shattuck.

Umpires - For Princeton, Mr. MacLaren; for Harvard, W. Seamans, '77.

Mr. Camp, of Yale, acted as referee, and proved highly satisfactory to both parties.

In the evening there was a dinner given at Delmonico's to all Harvard men in the city by the Harvard Club of New York.
