J., Oct 22.-In a most exciting game of foot ball this after noon, Princeton won from Cornell, by a score of 8 to 0. The teams were al most evenly matched and the battle waged from one side of the field to the other during the early part of the game, neither team seeming to have the advantage. At first Cornell start ed off with a rush that brought Prince ton hearts into Princeton throats and almost stopped the cheering. But after the Tigers had learned the Cornell plays, the bail changed hands and was carried steadily down the field for the only touchdown of the game. Reiter took the pigskin over the line and Mills kicked goal. This was the only score made during the game. In the first half Cornell was within 80 yards of Princeton’s goal and in dan ger of losing the ball on downs. Star buck, the Ithaoan full back. tried for goal from the field, but failed Only once during the remainder of the game was the Tiger goal in danger That was when Starbuck broke through Princeton’s line and dashed for 20 yards for the orange and black goal posts. He seemed to have a clear field before him, but Rosengarten and Harry Lathrope, Princeton’s quarter back and right end, were upon him in time to save the honor of old Nassau. In the second half the Comedians played the same sturdy, bulldog game, but the Tigers We’re not to be out played. The ball exchanged sides eight times in the second half before the teams settled down to straight foot ball Each captain seemed to be spar ring for an advantage. with a view to saving the men, and as a result, when the ball was kept close to earth, the play was the more fierce and exciting. Cornell employed a number OF new plays, among them double pass. all with Indifferent success. The men OF the Princeton line soon learned how -. ~ ,a1I Ite, iv,fa on close formation plays old Nassau’s heavy men were able to stop Cornelfs advance. The last few moments of the game We’re the most exciting of all, Princeton started from the centre of the field and bore the ball by the brilliant work Of Reiter and Black all the way TO Cor nelrs five-yard line. Here the Ithacans made a stand and played a most desperate game of defense. Three times the Tigers plunged at the Cornell line without success, and on the fourth down the ball had still three yards between it and the goal line. Cornell had time was called and the game ended. There were few disagreeable fealures of the average foot ball game. Mills and Leuder were ruled off the field for playing too roughly. But 9TH erwise the game was a good-natured Whiting played the best game for Corr nell And Reiter won most of the glory for the Tigers, although it was not in dividuaI but the team work that won the game for Princeton.
