Their net gain in WISHING the ball amounted to 2Se yards. while Cornell’s record was barely eighteen yards. Princeton gained her first down in the half TWENTY-FIVE times, while Cornell got the necessary five yards only once. One unpleasant feature marred the contest.

  PRINCETON’.S BIG SCORE. Cornell Defeated, “A to 0-IthdcanS Hopes BHghted. Princeton. N. J., oct 81 (SpeciaD.-With the expectation of at least scoring Cornell was surprised by overwhelming defeat this afternoon with the Tigers rolled up Al points, and in the entire game had the Ithacans at their mercy. Never did Cornell threaten score the nearest approach being the 30-yard line. The IlSers were in the prime of condition. and ran their plays OIL like clockwork Cornelrs line was entirely too weak to withstand the fierce Onslaughts Of the Tiger backs and only twice did she succeed in holding for downs. On the defence Princeton sur passed even their brightest hopes. The line held like a stone WALL and only once old the visitors pierce it for gain Cornell resorted to end runs. and found these futile as long Henry and Crawford guarded the wings. Cornell succeeded in retaining the ball longer than second three downs only twice. They gained their first down five times The Ithacans were outclassed in every point of the game, with the possible exception of the work of the quartiers. Rice is a most capable man in his positon. He managed his team we’ll although he had an uphill Job from the beginning. His brilliant run OF forty-hve yards around Crawfords end was one of the features of the game Had Davis been In his regular position this would proc ably never have occurred But the veteran end was put out Of the game for alleged “kneeing’ on the first play. De Wits kicking was one of the surprises of the game, after his reported slump of late He made two field goals of four trials. of which was partly blocked, and his punts averaged fifty yards while one sailed down the field for sixty. AT the end OF the nrSt nalI burke, TeCdpIuTlHS fumbled ball. rushed down the field lodging tack lers every side, and covered Iorty-lWo yafds before he downed Princeton started the game by a kick over the line, and when the hall was kicked out the myers rushed Il back 10 tie 25-yard line plunSeS, when De Witt failed to kick a field goal Cornell was downed the 1-yard line. and soon punted out OF 4O-yard line. and the ball advanced by Miller and De Witt through centre. when kafer sklrted left end for a touchdown After this score, which took twelve minutes. COrn-lrC line weakened. and Kafer around right end for long gains, while Cooney ard Miller plOuShed through centre Miller guard Princeton kicked off Rice cleared left end for forty-ive yards. but was prevented from scoring by Netterein’s tackle the 30-yard line. The bali was again worked back and De Witt failed to kick a field goal but later scored on drop kick from the 27-yard line The first half ended with the score II to o. 49,, Although Princeton used substitute team in the second half. the proposition was still easier to gain through the Cornell line. 1t became a question or how many points the Tigers could roll up before time was called. They succeeded In gaining u Kafer and CoOney scored in succession. AFTER Foulke had been thrown for a loss on the 23-yard line De Witt scored field goal. On the 4-yard line when II seemed impossible TO check the on rushing Tigers Cornell took a brace and received the bali on downs, the result of a penalty I’M posed on the third down. Cornell could not retain the ball until the second down. and when II changed hands Foulke covered forty-sevel yards, winding bis wav through the Cornell team on clever run for a touchdown-the last score. BEFORE time was called Stevens made n sensetionaI run of ffty-three yards. but the whtstie 49, bafore Princeton could add another touch Joy”n 70 the score Bloomer.
