PRINCETON BEATS CORNELL
Athletes from Ithaca Lose a Hard Fought
Contest to the Tigers.
CORNELL STARTS GAME WITH A RUSH

Nearly All of the
Second Half

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-Princeton won a
hard fought battle with Cornell on the
foot ball field at the Polo grounds today.
The score was IA to 8. but there was little
to choose between the two teams.
Toward the end of the second half Prince o.
ton Drawn and condition told and the ball
was theirs most Of the time. Cornell
started with a rush and within five minutes
had scored by clever forward passes and
on-side kicks.
Twenty thousand enthusiasts crowded
the stands and there was not an inch of
standing room at the lower end of the
grounds. But 1t was a quiet gathering
compared with the old days of the Yale
and Harvard, Princeton and Pennsylvania
and other struggles. The Ithacans were
somewhat the lighter and played an open
game, gaining both around the ends and
with forward pass. Cornell also prohted
through the penalizing of Princeton.
The second half was characterized by
line bucking, at which Princeton showed
vast superiority.
CornelPs touchdown was made by Wal
ders and Cook kicked the ball to what
was thought to be goal by almost every
one present. There was much astonsh-
ment at the end of the half when the
referee announced that the ball had not
gone between the posts
Princeton's first touchdown was due to the
fumbling of a Cornell player. Wister took
the ball over and Cooney kicked goal The
second touchdown was the result OF
straight down the field work A few min
utes later Princeton scored a ground goal,
which it was agreed before the game would
count two points, the same as safety.
At the end Of play the ball was in the
center of the field.
