New York, Oct. Gin as pretty a
game as ever was seen on gridiron,
Princeton took Cornell in tow at the
Polo grounds this afternoon by score
of IA to S. Astounding in spectacular
plays that at times fairly raised the
hair of the spectators. the contest
proved one thing beyond all doubt
the wisdom of the changes made in the
rules, which have given the sporting
world practically new game. ~..E
The score about represents the rela-
tive worth of the two teams. The
score by halves too, shows well the
difference in endurance of the con-
testants. In the first half Cornell
clearly outplayed Princeton in all de-
partments Of the game except punting.
The half was really Cornell $, altho
Princeton s display of skill in execut-
| ing trick and open plays and Valdez s
poor attempt at goal, left the score
standing Princeton 6; Cornell s. In
the second half Princeton was several
times within striking distance of Cor
nell IS line, but tumble or foul play
lost her the ball. A ground rule
adopted for the game gave Prime ON
she was not entitled to. This rule
provided that if the ball should 90
behind the goal line on blocked kick
it should count as safety no matter
which side secured the ball.
Dillon Barred for Assault.
One display of unsportsmanlike con.
duct occurred to mar game which
otherwise was free from smuggling OF
rough play. E. Dillon, the clever little
Princeton quarterback, angered be-
cause a red and white player did not
arise quickly from scrimmage, struck
the Cornell man in the face with his
open hand. The blow was plain tc
every one and boots and Kisses greeted
the man who had covered himself with
glory during the game, as he was or
dered to the side lines.
On the toss-up Cornell won and al
lowed Princeton to kick. The Ithacans
got the ball on their 25-yard line
Then they started in with rush that
punted and Dillon fl,mbled, allowing
Cornell to recover the ball On Prince
ton s 35-yard line. The Cornell backs
plunged thru holes in the tiger line fol
good gains at every attempt and il
i just six minutes the ball was carries
over the goal line by Walders. HI
failed at goal, however.
Princeton recovered the ball after
the kickoff and Eddie Dillon and Hoag
land, On a double pass, made twenty
yards. A quarterback kick CAV,
Wister chance at the ball and hi
galloped ever the Cornell line. Coone,
kicked goal.
Some beautiful playing on both sides
Cornell having the best of the argu
ment, occupied the rest of the half
During the second half several change
were made in the lineup of both teams
back for Cornell, and later gave wa,
to Saylor. Watson relieved Babcock a
left end. Cass for Princeton took tn
place of Miller and Tennev relieved Z
Dillon, who went out for slugging.
Tigers Outwinded Them.
Princeton started right in to max
trouble for her lighter opponent in tn
second half. After various exchange
of the ball, following beautiful play
ing, in which both the old-time lin
plunges and open plays alternated, tn
tigers got the ball on Cornell IS 35- var,
line. A beautiful forward pass nette,
25 yards. Mccormick tore great hole
in the Ithacans' line and went owe
after a few bucks for the second touch
| uoWu tOOucy h4Cheu goal.
Princeton, when she got the ball bac]
after the kickoff, went after the Coz
nell line hard Mccormick on one ru
broke thru the line and ran for nearl
40 yards before coming down unde
half the Cornell team. The rushes an
a fake play carried the ball to the 1C
yard line. There the 1thacans held i
and Harlan dropped back for a dro
kick. A Cornell man touched the bal
spelling the play, altho the pigski
passed square]y between the goal posts
Cornell saved the ball, but under tn
ground rules Princeton was credite
with 2 points, making her total score Il
! Heavy penalties on Princeton CAV

yard line. Jameson dropped back flo
try at a goal kick. A poor pas
spoiled his chances and likewise Coz
nell g chance to score again. Princeto
