Princeton's football kickers made their first
appearance Of the season at Manhattan Field
yesterday. and vanquished the Cornell eleven
to tho tune OF 40 TO O. There were 1000 spec
tators inside the vast arena. and fully 5000
more on Dead Head Hill |" and tho viaduct
running along l55th street. There were many
beautiful women present and the tlme-hon-
ored graduate who can tell you how all the
big games in the past ten years have been won
and lost was in the front row In all parts OF
the ground Tho field itself was in superb
condition. The grass was soft and yielding.
while the whole gridiron had been rolled as
smooth as the proverbisl billiard table.
Cornelrs eleven lacked practice. and was
consequently weak in comparison to tho teams
sent forth from Ithaca in recent years There
was no interference for the backs, who per-
sisted In employing the old method Of plung-
ing into Princeton's almost invincible centre
for no material gains. Then the backs FUN
bled the ball. failed to fall on 1t. and showed
tendency to get ratified at critical points Cor
. nell'B tackling was poor. Tho rushers made
grabs for tho head and heels Of each Prince
ton runner instead Of laying low and cir
cling the waist. But while they had all
those faults they introduced one play that
was not only new. but very effective. 1t was
something on the style Of Deland's flying
weOgc usou ny Harvard last year. eNCept tnht,
instead OF having two wings move rapidly
from opposite directions toward the ball hold
by the quarter back, the Cornell team was
formed into n wedge fifteen yards back OF tho
bail and then rushed In q compact body toward
Prncetons left end. the quarter back handing
the ball to one Of the half backs. who was the
last ian on the wedge This move was used
Mt each kick off. and resulted in gains from
ten to twenty-five yards each time. The play
will probably take the place Of the antiquatod
~" wedge which all college teams are using.
Taking Cornells weakness into considera-
tion then, one cannot form true idea OF
Princeton's strength. Tho Tigers played
snappy. get-there game all the way through.
Their defensive work was superb. and their
Interference better than usual. Allen showed
up well at full back. He did some good punt
ing. but he has the usual weakness Of getting
the ball away slowly and also shows a ten
