West Point, n Y, Nov. 10.-Princeton
defeated the West Point cadets at foot
ball here to-day by d score of s 90 0.
The scores of the visitors were made
from a drop kick and a goal from place
ment in the first half. The fact that
Princeton did not score any more points
in the remainder of the half, or during
the second half. does not imply that the
Tigers were unable to do so. 1t was

the experts, and there were hundreds Of
them around the gridiron. il looked as
though Princeton was satisfied that she
had the game cinched and did not wish
10 show her entire strength and ability,
holding out the fine points for the big
test against Yale next Saturday.
The Army proved in its battle against
Yale a week ago that it has a stone
wall defense. but Princeton found holes
in it to-day. particularly when McCor-
mick butted IL like a batteTing ram.
There were several casualties on both
sides. In fact, more men were incapaci-
ta;ed than In any other two contests
hid here this season. Another thing
that marred the first half Of the game
was rough work on both sides, which
neccssitated the expulsion of Weeks. Of
West Point. and RuIon-M Miller. Of Prince
ton. These two players came into a
rather severe collision and were sent TO
their blankets for slugging.

ter back was taken by Tenny. and Har-
