work Of the 1thacans deny that Newell has
turned out remarkably good team.
Though light In weight, the Cornell men put
up fast, snappy game, tackled beautifully. and
broke up Princeton's interference in superb
fashion. Though bit weak at centre, Cornell
showed wonderful strength In other positions.
especially on the ends at quarter back, and at
full back. Little Taussig played one OF the An
est games at end ever seen any football field.
He tackled like flend, followed the ball like
hound, and let nothing get past him. His per-
formapoe compared favoraby with anything
Hinkey or Trenchard has ever done, and he
simply outplaycd Brown, who opposed him, at
ratio Of three TO one. Beacham also
played splendidly at end and did some
star tackling Wyckoff doomed up very strongly
at quarter back. His passing was quick and
accurate, he gave his signals without hesta-
tion. and interfered for his backs in truly won

celled by any full back In the country. barring
Butterworth Of Yale. He was clearly the supe-
rior Of Burt OF Princeton, although the latter
did good work
Princeton'e play was disappointing. Although
Trenchard had almost all OF his regular men In
place. they did not begin to put up the game that
, beat Yale last Thanksgiving day. The backs
were very slow In starting with the ball. found
little or no interference TO help them along and
did an unnecessary amount Of fumbling at
critical points. The line was also slow. made
holes poorly, and tackled too high. Riggs at
centre WAS q weak substitute for Ballet
OF la5t years team, and Taylor didn't show
his old form. Brown and Trenchard, on the
ends, didn't play with their accustomed vigor
and on punts frequently ovcrran the ball
Morse. at quarter back, was q ,rfe too deliberate
In his passing, and gave his signals as II he had
week in which to play the game. This made
Princcton's attack too slow and let Cornell have
plenty Of time to get wind. Barnett was by
long odds tho best ground gamer, but McCor-
mick, although making several good PUSHES and
-Vne.kansng touch down, started too lato In
several instances and lost ground by the yard.
In short. n Cornell had had Princeton's beef

with a chance of Cornell increasing her score.

OF the Yale eleven saw the game, and at It's
cluslon he probably went away with the thought
that Yale's objection to playing on Thanksgiving
Day had been n little ill-timed. Meanwhile. the
football public Is wondering what Cornell will
do against Harvard at Manhattan Field next
Saturday. especially as the Cambridge eleven is
rated as considerably weaker than the Tigers.
IL was q perfect day for football. and the
crowd, considering the fact that everybody be-
lieved that Princeton would win by score Of
no 20 o, was lnrge and most enthusiastic. Fully
1000 persons paid 81 and Sc each for vantage
