Princeton defeated the West Point Cadets
on the foot ball field here today by a score
OF to o. The visitors scored twice in the
first half through the splendid kicking of
Harlan. His scoring of goal from a drop
kick was the feature of the game. and his
goal from placement was as straight as the
flight of arrow.
After the first half the Prince tonians did
not appear to exert themselves and gave
the impression of being satisfied to win
without taking unnecessary chances of In
juring their players before the big game
with Yale next Saturday at Princeton.
Several times during the second half 1t
looked as if the collegians could have sent
the ball over the line for touchdowns had
the score made it necessary to do so.

the Soldiers on the defensive from the
start. Although the teams were in many

Yale last Saturday, could not withstand the
assaclts of Mccormick Both teams were
schooled in the forward pass plays. and in
punting Princeton had a shade the better
OF the Soldiers, Hardlan showing to better
advantage than Mountford Princeton s
defense was a puzzle to the Army, and at
the close of the game Princeton had the
ball within three yards of the West Point
goal line.

few fumbles and the general impression
at the finish that in comparing the
showing made by Yale and Princeton
against the Army the New Jersey men will
be able to give the New Haven contingent
hard battle next Saturday.

stands and frlnged the side lines. The
Princeton men were late in arriving their
