Cornell Made the Tigers Fight.
Princeton defeated Cornell Saturday at
Ithaca in a fierce struggle by a score of
IS to 6. The Ithacans put up fight that
almost carried the Tigers off their feet in
the first half Princeton's superior weight,
however, began to tell toward the end of
the first half, and with the ball once in
her possession nothing short of a miracle
could have stopped her. Cooney and Stan
ard. the big tackles of the Princeton eleven,
were two towers of strength that Cornell
could not cope with They were by far the
best ground gamers for the Tigers. Cornell,
however, gained almost much ground as
her opponents. She did it by end running.
The Ithacans gave fine exhibition of open
foot ball playing. The Tigers were not
always fooled, though. by the Cornell trick
plays, and at times broke through and
downed the runner for a loss.
Cornell scored first in about the middle of
the first half. She had received the ball on
the kickoff and worked it back to midfield,
where she was penaliZed twenty-five yards
an. forced to punt. Then the Ithacans held
Princeton, much to the surprise of every
body, and forced Tooker to punt. Birming-
ham fumbled the ball and a Princeton
player got it on CornelPs thirty-yard line.
The Cornell line not only held, but Captain
Lyman broke through and threw Captain
Foulke for such a loss that Tooker was
forced to try for a field goal. which fell
short. Cornell got the ball on her own
ten-yard line and started for the Tiger goal.
Three times the 1thacanS suffered a penalty
of fifteen yards, but this did not stop them.

Yale Tore Up Columbia.
With constantly increasing power on the
part of Yale, the foot ball game between
the elevens of Old Eli and Columbia was
waged at American League Park, New
York. Saturday afternoon, and Yale ripped
up the light blue cohorts and won by
score of "a to O. The Ellis were the masters
of the Morningside men pretty much all the
time. Only twice was their goal line imperiled,
and then on plays which turned Columbia
man loose for long run. But even when
within striking distancekbf Yales goal the
blue and white could make no further adj
vance Not eecting To try field goals when
the moment was fairly spropitious, Column

to Yale's goal line. while the dark blue

The first half of the game was by far the
better half on Columbia,s part Morleys
men played a great deal better foot ball in
this half than heretofore this season. They
fought back gamely all the time, but in the
second half the puisSant attacking ma
chinery of the blue was In better working
order than in the first period, and 1t ground
Columbia's defense into a thoroughly inef-
fective condition. Some dashing work in
the open made Columbia prominent in the
first half, and the local men resisted Yales
attack splendidly- In the second half, when
the raggedness had vanished from Yale's
offense and the hauling and helping process
had set in, Columbia was beaten back re-
morselessly by the speed and concentration
of her opponents onslaught.
