PRINCETON, n. J.. Dec. IA to
tie for the intercollegiate soccer cham
pionship was the outcome of the battle
royal which was waged on University
Field here this afternoon between the
Princeton and Penn elevens, the game
going to four periods without breaking
the even score established at the end Of
the second half. Princeton's team work
was superior throughout most of the
flrst period. and Old Nassau's forwards
were always exceptionally quick on the
ball.
Princeton likewise started brilliantly
in the opening minutes of the second
half and registered two goals, which
gave the Orange and Black TO lead
over their Philadelphia rivals. The Ia
bles were quickly turned after this. how
ever, and the Penn team launched
hard and versatile attack which con-
tinued throughout the remainder of the
period Almost Immediately Penn
gained her second goal of the afternoon,
and finally. with only two minutes left
10 play, Binns, captain, brought joy to
the Penn supporters by Registering the
goal which made the unbreakabe tie.
Two fast and furious extra periods of
five minutes each were then played, but

conference thereupon ensued between the
respective coaches, Douglas Stewart of
Penn and AL Mes of Princeton. after
which the teams faced each other once
more with renewed vigor, but the last
two periods were without result. The
approach of darkness prevented further
play and the teams were sent to the
fY1aa house tired. but. each confident of
unbroken strength.
Larry Reyes stars.
Larry Keyes OF Princeton was the in
dividual star of the afternoon and his
versatile kicking and defensive ability
made the $500 spectators who animated
the bleachers cheer him time and again.
In the third extra period he saved
Princeton from defeat by blocking
kick which surely would have regis
tered defeat for the Tigers had he not
stopped the ball. Cooper proved eXcep-
tionally, good at goal, while Fisher
played an intelligent game in the for
ward line with Keyes. Spencer, of the
visitors, earned much praise and was
easily the shining light of the Penn
eleven, although Pennel is not to be
ignored. Lee. PENIS versatile Chinese
forward, who can Kick we'll with either
foot, was not up to expected form to-
day and he was often out Of play at
critical moments.
On the whole both teams are to be
commended for their playing, and the
opinion on the Princeton campus is that
to-day's soccer game was one of the
best ever staged in Tigertown.
1t fell to Princeton's lot to register the
initial tally of the afternoon In the first
five minutes of the game after the ball
had gone outside in PENIS territory

ball on a long drive straight into the
cage. Thereafter the ball shifted rap
idly. being mostly in Penn's territory
until near the end Of the half. when
Penn launched an attack in the shadow
of Princetm's goal. Cooper stopped an
attempt which looked extremely dam
gerous, but Pennel Immediately tied the
score on q corner kick for Penn.
Tigers Take Offensive.
Princeton took the offensive at the
start of the second half, and not more
than two minutes had elapsed before Old
Nassau's lead was established by q goal
on free kick by Larry Reyes. Eighteen
minutes later West took the ball down
the field with quick flash Of speed and
