Part of the time was occupied In re-

TIGERS TO MEET CORNELL.
Princeton BnckHcId and Ends Very Past,
hut Line Wenk.


Princeton's big football team will be
busy all this week up to and including
Saturday. The Tigers have come
through a much sitter game than the
score against Washington and Jeifer-
son indicates. The team maintained Its
speed throughout that contest. but the
first days practice thereafter showed
something OF "a falling off. The men
have been worked hard in practice. and
probably will be worked hard right
up to the eve OF the Cornell game on
Saturday.
Physically, 1t is an eleven that can
stand hard work. This is especially
true OF the line. which has needed
driving from the beginning. and which
has had vast quantities OF football to
learn The backs have shown the re-
suits OF persistent coaching 80 well
that they are already close to Noyem-
Der form.
Plekarski, tile Washington and JEFF.
ferson coach, is loud in his praises of
;he Princeton backs. and lie Is not alone
In his high estimation Of their work
The ends too. are equally advanced.
All this tends to make possible the
brilliant and versatile attack the IL
gers have shown 20 far.
But the line. from tackle to tackle
has not kept pace with the backheld
and Princeton has not yet met team
strong enough to bring out the discrep.
ancy very sharply. Princeton has met
no team with "breaking through
defense such as Yale uses.

Binks was arrested some weeks ago
on this charge which was filed by
negroes who state that Bihhs worked
his game on them. The charge against
him is impcrsonating an officer. Tho
case has created some interest be

it is charged Blnks worked his graft
upon quite number of his race,

no opportunity of investigating tho
