TIGER FIVE WINS
A LIVELY GAME
Defeats Cornell in Final Sec
onds of Nip and Tuck
Battle.
lBy Telegraph to Tie Tribune J

Ithaca. y Y, Feb. 26.-The Princeton
five defeated Cornell tonight by a
score OF % to 20, in a game which up
until the last eleven seconds stood one
point in the home teams favor. Both
teams worked with lightning speed,
especially III the last half, and the
game was marked by clever goal shoot
ing, in which Brown and Jackson ex-
celed
Princeton started the first half with
a rush and gained good lead. At the
beginning of the second half, however,
the Tigers were hard pressed every
minute, the Ithacans finally forging
an ,ld when splendidly directed field
goal was made by Brown while stand
ing on Princeton's foul line.
Cornell was seriously handicapped
by the absence of Ashmesd, the guard,
although Wilson, who substituted
played a creditable game. Captain
Iackson's well directed foul goals
helped his team considerably, despite
the fact that he was in strong competi
ton with Lunden, the Cornell captain,
who missed only one goal out OF eight
attempts.
