Princeton, N. J., Oct 22.-In a most
exciting game of foot ball this after
noon, Princeton won from Cornell, by
a score of 8 to 0. The teams were al
most evenly matched and the battle
waged from one side of the field to the
other during the early part of the
game, neither team seeming to have
the advantage. At first Cornell start
ed off with a rush that brought Prince
ton hearts into Princeton throats and
almost stopped the cheering. But after
the Tigers had learned the Cornell
plays, the bail changed hands and was
carried steadily down the field for the
only touchdown of the game. Reiter
took the pigskin over the line and Mills
kicked goal. This was the only score
made during the game.
In the first half Cornell was within
80 yards of Princeton's goal and in dan
ger of losing the ball on downs. Star

goal from the field, but failed Only
once during the remainder of the game
was the Tiger goal in danger That
was when Starbuck broke through
Princeton's line and dashed for 20
yards for the orange and black goal
posts. He seemed to have a clear field
before him, but Rosengarten and Harry
Lathrope, Princeton's quarter back and
right end, were upon him in time to
save the honor of old Nassau.
In the second half the Comedians
played the same sturdy, bulldog game,
but the Tigers We're not to be out
played. The ball exchanged sides eight
times in the second half before the
teams settled down to straight foot
ball Each captain seemed to be spar

saving the men, and as a result, when
the ball was kept close to earth, the
play was the more fierce and exciting.
Cornell employed a number OF new
plays, among them double pass. all
with Indifferent success. The men OF
the Princeton line soon learned how

heavy men were able to stop Cornelfs
advance.
The last few moments of the game
We're the most exciting of all, Princeton
started from the centre of the field and
bore the ball by the brilliant work Of
Reiter and Black all the way TO Cor
nelrs five-yard line. Here the Itha-
cans made a stand and played a most
desperate game of defense. Three
times the Tigers plunged at the Cornell
line without success, and on the fourth
down the ball had still three yards be-
tween it and the goal line. Cornell had
time was called and the game ended.
There were few disagreeable fea-
lures of the average foot ball game.
Mills and Leuder were ruled off the
field for playing too roughly. But 9TH
