The morale OF both teams was splendid.
There. was no demolization, no ~disintegra-
ton due to dropping spirits. When one

Tigers were the better strateRists Of the
day however. Cornell startled them for
awhile with the vigor OF her onslaught, and
although Cornell was the first to SCORE,

GOOD PCNTTNd, WELL PROTECTED.
The punting on both sides was good,
with Valdez and McCutcheon, who booted
the pigskin for Cornell, rather having the
better OF Harlan and Tenney, who did
that duty for Princeton. Each side gave
Its punter stanch protection for punts, and
the only BemblanCe to a blocked kick was
in the second half when the Cornell for
wards surged through and interfered with
an attempted drop kick for goal; The
ground in getting down under punts, the
Cornell ends more than the Princeton pair,
for the reason that Harlan OF Princeton,
while not as good for distance as Valdez,
placed his punts better for his ends. What
with onside kicks 20 recover m forward
passes, the ends were a busy quartet and
had to be eternally watchfiA and abnor-
mally spry. The Tiger md were the more
reliable pair in following and nipping the
ball, but no better tacklers than the Cornell
couple.
OF the tackles Cooney was superb for
J Princeton on the defence. refused TO be
put OH any plays and steadied the whole
right wing. Stannard was OF in his defence
but improved in the second half. Tn Cor
nell tackles broke through effectively q
number of times and were vicious tacklers.
Cornell's big guard, Thompson was a
stone wall and got into the plays well.
1t was a nip and tuck argument in the
middle Of the line, Thompson giving Martin

O'Rourke. Both centres were steady and
passed well, Herring OF Princeton being
fulcrum, but not as active in getting into
plays in the open.
Eddie Dillon, Prinoeton's famous lodging
quarterback, did not show much in that
line and he muffed a punt that opened the
way for Cornell's only touchdown. ON
other occasions he was a sure catcher and
got away. quickly for his runs, but was
spilled before he had gone far. Jameson OF
Cornell did not suffer by comparison. In all
around service MCCORMICK, Princeton,s
star fullback, was held level by Walde OF
Cornell. In fact Walder did the better all
around playing, but the former was very
conspicuous in the latter part OF the game
by his line smashing. He jumped through
openings like a bullet and was hard to stop:
Valdez was no mean line breaker himself
and tore of a number of gains just outside
of tackle.
WAITER mediocre work in the first half the
Princeton halfbacks braced up in the second.
Harlan was good on the defence and very
handy at slipping through holes near the
extremities of the line. He ran high, how
ever and did not start as quickly as was ex-
pected, a fault which was noticeable in the
work OF both backfields. Princeton i'm
proved in this respect, however. Earle
and Gibson ran in kicks nicely, and the
latter was a clever performer in the second
ary defence. Rulon-Miller, with all his
speed. made only one sensational run, that
when he caught a kickoh. As a matter OF
fact he was not used much.
The ball seldom changed hands on downs.
Not that the teams were not capable OF
compelling this-both sides put up a stub
born d~efcnoe-but on the third down II there
was much ground to gain there was q punt,
a forward pass or an onside kick. The ball
was not followed as well when the latter
two plays were called into reQuisition a. il
should have been, Cornell being less alert
than Princeton. There we're several dis
putes over rulings or plays. at which times
the head coaches were more conspicuous
than they should have been. Roper OF
Princeton was on the field several times and
took quite too active a part in the adjust
ment of disputed points. The referee
shooed him to the side lines once.

The wind blew across the field from the
east and played no favorites in the matter
Of helping o~rsretardinE punts. The Cor
nellians came on the field first, just five
minutes before the time scheduled for the
battle to begin. One Of them tripped
over the ropes and the superstitious imme-
diately began talking about omens. Cor
nell's war slogan rang out with tremendous
volume and the lthacans looked husky
enough to maui tigers or lions or anything
else maulable. The Tigers followed three
minutes later and had a mascot with them
a small boy who was attired in the same
striped regalia as the big fellows. A few
minutes Of running through signals and
the game began with Walter Camp and
Jack Owsley Of Yale and other scouts on
hand to pick up pointers.
Princeton had the kickoff and defended
the north goal. 1t was a quarter Of 3 when
Harlan balanced the ball on end and sent
it boring through space toward the Cornell
goal. The wind caught the ball and car
