Show PRINCETON, 18; CORNELL, 6. This the Result on the Gridiron nt Ithaca. ITHACA. N. Y., Oct. 29. Princeton won today s football game from Cornell IS to G. The victors wero forced to work tholr hardest to mako trains, but thoy wero outclassed by Cornell In many stages of tho game, especially in the first purt of the contest. Tho Cornell men showed ability to advance tho ball consistently con-sistently and Birmingham did well in tho punting, nearly always sending the ball more than forty yards and losing nothing In exchanges with Tooker. But tho failure of the Cornell ends to get down imdcr these kicks proved disastrous, disas-trous, gave tho Princeton cloven nearly as much ground as they mnde in the scrimmages, and greatly Influenced tho outcomo of tho contest. On several occasions oc-casions tho ends failed to get beyond the lino of olay before the man who fielded the punt and started back with the ball and most of the tackling In open field was donn by other members of tho team. Capt. Lynch did splendid work In this lino and also was a mainstay to secondary second-ary defenso before ho was compelled to retire In the second half. Tho Cornell back field, composed of Halllday at fullback and Rico and Birmingham Bir-mingham at halves, played ns ono man and gained every time they struck Princeton's dofonse lino Tho Princeton ends, Crawford and Tooker. wero rather weak on tho defensive and many runs wero made around each of them, but they got down under punts well and with hardly an oxceptlon weio on tho man with the ball as soon ns ho caught it. This made Tookcr's punts more of-foctlvo of-foctlvo than Birmingham's. Rltter and Capt. Foulko at halves and Rulon Miller at fullback did gocd work In advancing the ball for Prlncoton. Rltter Rlt-ter in particular was able to skirt Ineffective Inef-fective Cornel! ends for long gains. |
