Foot Ball

Cambridge, Mass, October 30.-Harvard
easily defeated Cornell on Soldiers Field
today, but was scored on for the first
time this season. Harvard made four
chdow and forced Cornell to make
a safety, while in the first half after
gaining the ball on a muffed kick. Young
kicked a pretty goal from the field for
Cornell. This made the final score, with
three goals from ~touchdowns "a to 4 in
favor of Harvard.
Atlanta, Ga, October 3O.-The Georgia
Virginia foot ball game this afternoon
resulted in a victory for the Virginians
by a score of II to 4. The Virginia team
was too heavy for the Georgia boys, and
outclassed them at every other point.
Virginia resorted almost entirely to
bucking the centre and pounded Georgia's
two tackles terribly. The feature of the
game was a goal from the field kicked
by Morrison, the Virginia captain.
Georgia's touchdown was made on a
fluke and at no time were they able to
gain ground against their opponents and
retain the ball. They had to resort to
kicking to keep from losing the ball on
downs. Cannon, Of the Georgia team,
was seriously injured in one of the
scrimmages and the doctors say that he
has conclusion of the brain. His recov-
cry is doubtful.
West Point. N. Y, October 3.-Had it
not been for a run by one of Yale's
speedy backs, the score would have been
6 to 0 in favor of West Point, instead of
a tie. West Point played a superb game,
ana according to Walter Camp. Yale'S
defense is a thing of the past. They
could not hold the strong West Point line
and repeated gains were made. through
even the veteran Rogers position. The
army's touchdown was scored by the
half-back, Waldron, in the first half
after a straight bucking match down the
field. In the second half Corwin was
driven through the West Point line by a
heavy mass play on the right guard and
scored after a long run Had not Krom-
er. West Point quarter stumbled and
fell, this touchdown would not have to
be recorded. Yale was o%utplayed at
every point, and with fresh men in the
line during the second half, against West
Points original team. she could do moth
ing. There were 5000 spectators, includ-
ing a delegation from the naval academy.
Princeton, n. j.. October 30.-Princeton
defeated the strong Dartmouth team. in
an exciting contest on the Varsity
gridiron today by a score of 80 to 0. The
game was marked by it's fie: ceness and
the fact that the Tigers goal was
dangerously threatened in the first. a
touchdown being avoided only through
a decision of the referee who gave the
ball to Princeton when on the % yard
for holding in the line. Princeton's in
reference and team work in the first
half was extremely ragged and indi-
vidual playing accounted for the three
made.
