Team Defeats Princeton

Special Dispatch to THE New York HERAIr.
BALTIMORE. Nd, April 15.-After
playing Mount Washington to a stand
still during the opening period. the
Princeton lacrosse team fell victim
to the superior team work of its oppo-,
nents in the second half here this after
noon and was vanquished by a score OF
to 4.
The Hillmen were the first to score.
Baxley breaking the ice with splen
didly timed goal about five minutes after
the opening whistle sounded. The Mas
sau combination was not to be dis
couraged and for the remainder of thu
half the conflict waged hot and fast.
Princeton put across three goals before
the session ended, while Mount Wash
ington had four to its credit at the close
of the half.
During the second period. the Hill
men frightened up their defense and from
that time on Nassaus representatives
found scoring a pretty difficult job. One
goal was finally tailed before the close
of the period. but meantime the Hillmen
had piled up three counters.
