After playing for over an hour princeton
finally succeeded In scoring one goal and
defeating Cornell at ST. Nicholas Rink aast

legiate Hockey League championship SERIES
The two regular periods Of twenty minutes
each, an extra period OF ten minutes anu
fifteen minutes of a fourth period went by
without either team making tally, ana II
looked as though the game would go On
forever without decision for the play Vi
the forwards was so ragged and the de-
fence work of the goal keepers so strong
that a score seemed impossible.
At length Cornett succeeded in landing
the puck in tho nets on a long waist hsn
shot thus bringing a tedious but hard
fought game to a close. The END came ds
q relief and surprise TO the spectators IL
not to the players. for the contest. began
to assume the proportions OF slx-day
bicycle race.
Seldom has a more wretched game OF
hockey been seen in this city. 1T could not
even be called good shinny, but was simply
a slashing, helter skelter struggle, with
each man intent only on his own play, ap-
parently ignorant of the fact that ne haa
six other mates 20 assist him.
In the early part of the game Corneii
men forced the pace, but when Read'
Princeton's coverpoint, got properly going
in the second period they were put on the
defensive Read and Peacock were the
whole team for the Tigers. the former con-
tinually going through the opposing line,
but his forwards could not assist nim
when help was most needed. No man

seemed an impossibility with the poor
shooting and lack of inside work to ever
pass them, and the only and deciding tally
caught Matthai unawares.
The game was rough and there was no
end of chopping and slashing, and several
men were ruled off for infractions of the
rules Sawyer got a nasty cut on the
head which delayed the game for several
minutes in the first half. After having
the wound dressed and his head bandaSed
he pluckily continued, until well into the
second period when he had to give way to
Angel.
Cornell took the aggressive at the start
or play, but poor shooting and lack of team
work frustrated the fast individual work of
Magner and Crasweller, both of whom
would shine good team. Read and
Peacock took care of both of them, how
ever, and in the entire half neither goal
was in danger. Cornett was put out of the
game for two minutes, and just before the
whistle blew Lally was sent to the bench
for siashing. The latter was still off when
the second period opened, but Princeton
could not take advantage of his absence,
although Read, who was getting into his
stride worked hard to score. He finally
broke away aand worked right into Cor
nel's territory, and passed to Sawyer, who
made good try. Then Magner rushed the
puck back into Princeton ice. Several
times Read repeated fast rushes, but the
necessary shot went wide. Then he
changed his tactics and resorted to long
Shots but he could not get into the nets.
Princeton was improving with every min

Lally and Matchneer were ruled off for
tripping, and Read followed them for rough

Princeton had it all her own way in the
extra period, but could not score before the
allotted time was UP, and then the teams
went at it again. The remainder of the
game was all Princeton, and after fifteen
minutes the winning tally was made, as al
ready told.
