  ON THE GRfDIRON. Cornell and Princeton Meet in Great Game-J’he Tigers Win by Score of 12 to 4. the champion Prineetons at Manhat.on field this af ernoon. The men from Ithica showed how skilfully they had been coached by Marshall Newell, the ex- Harvard player, by putting up snappy, scientific and brilliant game. and by scor- iug touch dow in the first half. Prince toms eleven played a slow, uneven game, and by dint of the hardest kind of work were only able 10 make two touch downs, both of which resulted iu goal, during the seventy min utes of actual play. AS it was the tigers simply won because they had more strength and weight than the men from up the state. In bucking PriD ceton’s center the Cor nell men showed great proficiency and also demonstrated that Riggs, Princeton’s crack rush, did rot compare with Ballot, who filled the pace last year. The Pr!uce- tons’ back were slow in starting, did nos g. tinto holes quick enough and were ln- cllned to fumDle the ball. The tackling was too high and the ends continually overran the ball. The game showed that Cornell has learned a great deal about football and that she Is liaole to make it interesting for any team in the country. The score was 12 to 4, when all of the critics thought that Prince ton would roll up at least 8 points and whltewash her rival. It was a perfect diy and about 4o00 persons, including big delegation from Cornell, witnessed the game.

Oct. 20.-Harvard beat Williams today in game replete with in. terest. The final score was 32 to 0. There was crowd of 4000 people present and 1t had several occasions to give’vent to it’s en- thusiasm. The playing on both sides was far better than any game Seen on Soldiers. field this year or any other year. Harvard played better than any enthusiastic sup porter had supposed was possible. The good work by Harvard cans all be laid to the fact that Waters and Arthur Brewer were in the Harvard rush line aud Charlie Brewer and Wr1ghtington behind the line. Waters acted as captain and Kept his team in perfect running order. In addition 10 that Waters played wonderful game. He was everywhere. Williams never gained an inch by his position. Williams started in with rush,. after Brown’s fashion, and it looked as if Har- yard would be scored against, but after gaining twenty five yards without falter, Williams here lost her chance. Never after that was the Harvard goal ln any great danger. On one occasion the ball got to Harvard’s twelve-y yard line, but liar yard had no trouble in holding Williams for four downs. Harvard’s defensive play was superb. Harvard’s only weak point was interference, though this was far bet ter than in any previous game. The plays were largely at both tackles and there they never failed 10 gain. The most wonderful play was Charlie Brewer’s attempt at a goal from the field from dIe forty five yard line. The ball struck the cross bar squarely in the middle. The crowd went wild. Line up: Harvard. Position. Williams. Moulton ............ Left end...... :. Ryan Wheeler. .......... Left tackle....

Before the game was begun the Cornell men were trying to get odds that Princeton would not score more than twenty-fo four points to nothing. and when Cornell got its touchdown the wearers of the red and white nearly yelled themselves hoarse. The game showed very clearly that Cornell is the gamer by the new rules. as they do bet ter in all open game than the heavy men from Princeton. 1t showed, more over, that Princeton is behind her players of last year. The fumbling of the Princetons was more noticeable than that of Cornell, and several times the ball was lost 1t critical point.
