SIP -Cornelrs football team, recover ing in surprising style from last weeks walloping at the hands OF Navy. showed itself to be a we’ll coached if not a powerful team today by trouncing Princeton, 30 to 0. in the 18th clash between these Ivy League rivals. A crowd of about 10000 in Prince toms big Palmer Stadium, saw the Big Red team score safety before the game was a minute old and go on from there to shake Bill Maceyko and Howard Blose loose for a series of long runs that produced two touchdowns and left the Tigers completely bewildered. The only Tiger threat came from long passes thrown by Dave Mar shall, who was perhaps the ablest performer in either backfield but who received little support. Prince ton gained only 70 yards on the ground but 1856 through the air. The first break of the game came right after the opening kickoff Continued Oh Page Nine; Col. g.
