Ithaca. y. Y. oct THE Cornell foot
ball team defeated the Obern eleven on
Percy Field this afternoon by the score or
IL TO 3. the Ohioans tallying the first score
of the season against the Red and white
team. In neither generalship nor ability
was the opposing force equal 10 the Cor
nellians, and the three points OF the ONO
men were the result OF circumstances
rather than a reward for playing
Penalties were recorded with aggravating
regularity. five being imposed in the first
quarter. three of which were the fault OF
Guver in interfering with Metcalf in the
neutral zone on punts. The total setback
on penalties was $50 yards.
The regulars. although showing an unfa-
miliarity with the plays. played their indi-
vidual games well, and the earmarks or
real football were apparent on every hand.
Enrich did excellent work. He tackled
with force and was ever in the lead under
punts. At the end Of the rrst half, wneh
Cornell reached within striking distance or
the enemy's line. Eyrich dropped back 10
the 23-vard mark, almost al the line marx
of tho southern boundary line. and sent the
oval between the posts at difficult angie
The backfield did not have the adhesive
quality heretofore apparent. This may be
accounted for, perhaps, by the fact that
Butler was not well. He was taken out OF
the game twice. the second time suffering
from a bad kick in the head, which now
ever. will not prove serious.
The first score was made by Cornell in
the opening period Butler punted to

TIGERS ROLL UP POINTS
Beat ViIIanova at Football by
Score of 81 Points to 0.
SAWYER A HOST IN HIMSELF
Makes Two Touchdowns and
Helps in Others-Forward
Pass of Little Avail.

Princeton. y. J.. oct. 7-Once again the
Princeton football team ran up score OF
over thirty points in defeating tho Villa
nova eleven here this afternoon 10 the tune
of 81 TO O. a wet aud soggy gridron proved
quite n handicap 10 the Tigers in their open
style Of attack. and on q dry field they
might have surpassed the score Of 81 10
made against Stevens and Rutgers
Princeton as usual did most Of its gain
ing on end runs and open field play. Saw
yer doing the major part Of the work Hc
scored two Of the five touchdowns. and
two others were accounted for indirectly
by the work Of this halfbscx. Both teams
did lot Of experimenting with the forward
pass, and with two exceptions II proved Of
little value
The visitors made one OF their two first
downs on the forward pass. and the Tigers
made touchdown by the same play when
Waller made a beautiful catch Of a high
pass by Penfeld and fell across the goal
line before he could be tackled.
The game as a whole was rather COM
monplace and lacking in the brilliant feat
ures which have characterized the other
games here this season. The Nillanova
team tackled atrociously and preferred
downing the runner by grabbing HIS neck
10 any other means. Pendleton got away
late in the last period for one Of his usual
long runs through a broken field, return
ing a punt eighty yards for a touchdown.
but he was called back because OF an on
side play by one OF his team mates.
The first score came a few minutes after
the start Of the game, when Pen6eld dropped
a pretty field goal from the 35-yard line.
Sawyer raced across the goal line minute
later on a dash OF forty yards outside OF
tackle. on the next kickoff two long runs
by Dewitt and Sawyer carried the ball
within striking distance OF the goal lire
again, but penalty spoiled ali hope Of an
immediate touchdown
Early in the second period Penneid
pushed his way through the line for IN"
second touchdown. A substitute backieid
was then put in and no further scoring was
done in that period.
With the regular backs in again during
the third period it was not long before Saw
yer once more fought his way over for
touchdown. He used the straight arm to
perfection and was the hardest man TO down
On the field.
| Brown played his first game at end, bit
| his work was not overly impressive, and
White replaced him in the third .ertod. The
latter was big Improvement, but he twist
ed his leg and had 10 retire in favor OF
Andrews. Waller played a splendid game
at end and earned a place az the varsity
training table by his all-around playing. Nc
! Lean played his first game at tackle and

cent for a weakness on the defence. Twice
he received the kickoff and ran the ball
