  FOOTBALL. DE WITT GIVES PRINCETON VICTORY OVER CORNELL TIGER GUARD KICKS TWO GOALS FROM FIELD-CoRNELLs LINE THE BEST MISTAKE IN NOT USING 1T MORE III MORE Princeton won rom cornell at Princeton yes terday. but it was the almost unanimous YER DICT that the Tigers were lucky TO squeak out victory. II was almost a case of De Witt against Cornell, for Princeton’s two scores were made from many goals from the field kicked by the herculean guard. one Of them dropped between CornelTs goal posts from a most diff cult angle Once Cornell rallied finely and bucked the leather from the centre of the field to Princeton’s I-yard line. Her attack had been tremendous. and it seemed almost certain that she would cross the Tigers goal line. but the New-Jersey line held like rock and got the ball on downs. Right here Cornell made her greatest error. Had she used the second down 20 carry the leather across the field and plant It in front Of Princeton’s goal it is hard TO see how Brewster could have failed TO kick goal. Aside from the one department of kicking. the teams proved TO be pretty evenly matched If anything the Ithacans presented the stronger line, and when they really got 10 playing in deadly earnest they made more ground in line bucking than did their opponents. Captain Warner, who is without doubt one OF the best guards in the country. a host in himself and far outplayed De Witt IN the line. getting through him time and again in time to drop a Princeton runner Once the Cornell captain broke through quickly enough 10 block one Of De Wits kicks. Next TO Warner. Brewster played the best all around game for Cornell. He ran the team with clocklike evenness. and punted clearly as long as his strength lasted. De Witt far outmatched him at kicking, how ever. On several occasions the Princeton kicker booted the leather for sixty yards. and this without the aid OF the least breeze. Sometimes he kicked too far to allow his ends time TO get down under the ball, but on the whole De Wits punting one of the best exhibitions in this department of the game in years Cornell showed bad judgment when It became apparent that she was getting the worst of the kicking game. Several times she punted on the first down, instead Of waiting until she had exhausted her other resources. The sharp rally Of the Ithacans when they almost got a touch down showed that their chances at that sort Of play were far better than at the kicking game, yet they deliberately chose TO play the latter. Pearson. who filled the quarterback position most OF the game. did admirable work and VIII probably play there in the Yale game in stead of Vetterlein Captain Davis showed once more that he is one Of the best, if not the best, ends in the country. But De Witt was the star once he punted and then got up the field in time TO tackle tie man who caught the punt and again he fell on his own punt after it had been muffed. Cornell played we’ll enough to have deserved TO score. and. at any ra.e. she has the satisfaction OF knowing that no Prince ton runner took the ball across her line. The game was witnessed by about eight thou sand persons many of whom came special trains from New-York and from Philadelphia. a Cornell delegation consisting of about twelve hundred occupied the eastern stand and rooted and cheered and sang for the Ithacans. The western stand was solid with Princeton partisans, among them being Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland, who We’re cheered on their arrival heard az intercollegiate game. but there was enough Of it to encourage the players and 10 express the enthusiasm of the spectators. Cornell appeared at 2:3O O’Clock precisely, and their friends rose at them as, headed by Captain Warner, they trotted the gridiron and began TO pass the ball about Princeton came on the field about half minute later and then there were locomotives galore. After that, Princeton oheered for Cornell and the visitors returned the compliment, after which the two captains and Empire Dashieli, of Lehigh, and Referee Wrightington, of Harvard, had a long confer ence. which tried the patience of the spectators because they did not know what it was all about At length. however. princeton trotted TO the northern goal and Cornell TO the south and the referee spotted the ball at the centre of the geld. De Witt kicked OF at 2:50 o’clock. ana Purcell brought the bail back twenty-five yards before he was thrown. Brewster promptly returned the punt TO McClave at the centre of the field. Thus early did the feature of play that to predominant make itself apparent Then followed one OF the most sensational runs OF the game, Foulke taking the ball and circling Cor nelIs right end for a run OF over fifty yards. The Cornell backs forced him out OF bounds at the 5-yard line, that the Lall was brought in again. Princeton’s partisans were in a perfect aame OF enthusiasm at the prospect OF scoring, but Cornell held once against AIcClave’s centre plunge. and then Foulke fumbled and lost the ball, Brewster promptly punting out OF danger. After one two Intellectual attempts at ground gaining De Witt punted over CornelTs goal line, and back the leather came from Brewsters toe. Foulke mufflng. but recovering in time 10 make ten yards. Coffin then aroused CornelIs dele cation to a frenzy OF delight by breaking through and downing Foulke for a loss where upon the big Princeton guard again kicked. Brewster sent il back and Pearson shook off three Cornell tacklers in pretty style 10 make ten yards Cornell was tackling lamentably high. Another punt gave Cornell her first chance to hit the Princeton line. and the initial attempt was rafting good one On fake pass Coffin went around f. Browns end for no less than twenty yards. and to hear the yell from Cornells benches one would have thought ii was all over but the shouting. and that that was TO be at tended TO a tumble gave the pigskin 10 the Tigers however. and r. Mcclaye inst made his distance by narrow a margin that IL had TO be measured After FouIke had made tive yards and Hart had failed to gain through the centre. De Witt, the old reliable punted once more. Purcell should have let the ball go for q tOIchback. but lost his head. and + Brown dropped him where he stood, three yards from his goal. OF course. Brewster at once punted out of danger. Forty yards from the Ifhacans’ goal Princeton got five yards for Off
