victory over Princeton by defeating the Army
football team here to-day by a SCORE Oh "a TO 10.
The contest was peculiarly characteristic OF
the indefiniteness OF what IL called new loot
ball. although IL now IL almost two years old.
The points Cornell made were on the for
ward pass on two occasions and by a safety
resulting from a forward pass just before
the game ended. West Point scored through
a goal from field and by q touchdown from q
blocked kick. Cornell had more determine

In the attack. The best asset Cornell had

This was the first time that Cornell and tho
Army had met on the gridirOn and the last de-
tails Of the meeting showed very good FEELING
.1stween the institutions. IL was understood
that the game was ged on the basis OF
having the Army athletic association pay most

this. and he said that he did not think 1t right

gested that the men who had written Tor
tickets and had received them should SUD-
scribe each n small sum and thus make uD the
