so AEMY FIGHTS IX VAIN. DEFEATED BY CORNELL. Big Red Team Wins Well Earned Victory at Football. THepraph to The Tribune 1 West Point. N.

Nov. -Cornell defeated West Point this afternoon in th" first game of football ever played between elevens of the two institutions by the score of 12 to 10. Two touchdowns, one in each half, and two goals from touchdowns total, while the Army scored a touchdown and goal and a goal from the field. bipr red team deserved to win. but West Point.

Hgnting gamely to end. tit down to asj honorable defeat. Tt was the fiercest and exciting game ever played on the West Point gridiron, and only in the last few minutes of piny that tho soldiers, weakened by 'iis substitutions and the gruelling work ol fighting back Cornell's heavy forwards, the winning touchdown gan badly for tho Army A disastrous fumble nun several cleyerljr executed forward past by Cornell, and a red clad runner lay across the West Pointers' line for Cornell's touchdown. Wesl Point was not beaten however Her team woke up, and by Sense play the ball was forced Into Cornell territory. Beavers dropped a pretty goal from the Held from the 15-yard line.

Thin was easily spectacular play of the game, and the West Point orns cneen ii Army halfback to tho Neither team could score during tho remainder of the half. During- the internuFMon tho cadets and the Cornell rooters vied with each other In a cheering nuiuh. The perfect fall day brought out a record breaking crowd and fully eight thousand persons packed the Stands and stood many rows deep behind the goal lines. Cornell had an unusually large following, at least twelve hundred undergraduates coming down from Ithaca to see the game. Their cheering was fully as good as that of "the grand old gray battalion." and they were right behind their team all the time.

What a battle it was! West Point with the ecore to 4 against her, came back on tho field for the second half determined to win. The way that light Army line charged the heavier red line surprised the Cornell supporters, as did Beaver's magnificent punting. The Army wouldn't be denied; and after about six minutes of ra ya Fowler blocked a kirk and Philoon fell on the ball behind the Cornell goal line for a touchdown, making the score 10 to 6 In West Point's favor. The Army stands wont wild and the substitutes on the tide lines jumped up and down, embracing each other ecstatically. But Cornell went back into the game with a fierceness that was characteristic.

The Army team met the attack bravely and both teams seemed mad with the desire to to fight. But tne light Army line was -slowly forced back. In desperation substitutes were put In until there was almost a new Army team in the field. The new men were not of 'varsity calibre, however, and so. yielding more and more, the team was forced back and scored again and the game was won.

There no further scoring, although Cornell pressed the Army hard. Cornell sprang a distinct surprise upon the Army by the free use of the forward pass and onstda kick. In the new game the soldiers were clearly outplayed. Both of Cornell's touchdowns were due to forward passing West Point had evidently been poached to meet a tine plunging 1 and consequently was taken by surprise when the played the new game, it not until the part of the second hair" that Cornell started "old game" tactics. With the mighty Walders heading the attack, tlio Army's weakened line was hardly able to hold.

The Army seemed to have no fair defence against the forward pass, and in almost every tase a Cornel! man was on hand to get the ball. The backs frequently made Incomplete passes, however, and won- penalized do less than seven times for this offence. Had It been Otherwise the score would have been Punting was constantly resorted to, Walders and Beavers doing thi brunt of the work for their respective teams. Beaver's work was first class, and. taking In direction and height as well as distance, furnd the kicking- honors.

West Point's back Held handled the ball poorly, and the umbling was always costly. Cornell handled the ban cleanly ad followed it better than did the Army players. The surprise of the game was the way In which Cornell's backs ran the Army ends. Behind superb Interference they dashed around for splendid gains Watson and Van Orman clearly outplayed their opponents and boxed them frequently. They played a good hard game, although at times they were Blow In going down the field.

McCain--, 'Cornell's brilliant halfback, played a star game. His work in circling the ends was especially good. Walders played his usual magnificent game at fullback, and his line smashing terrific. O'Rourke and Thompson did good work In the line The punting and all around work of Beavers was excellent. He and Pullen.

the giant Alaskan, shone as stars for Army. Pullen clearly outplayed his man. and was tackling all over the field. Erwfn, at guard, played a good game and kept Thompson on the Jump all the time. THE GAME IN DETAIL.

Beavers drove the ball well into Cornell territory when he kicked off. There was a groan from the Army stands as Gavey, a few moments later, dropped Walders's first punt and a Cornell man fell on the bounding pigskin on the Army's 40-yard line. After Walders had slashed through Moss for a five-yard gain, he made a long forward pass to Watson, who was thrown en the Army's 14-yard line. could not gain on line but on the third down worked another clever forward pass. The ball was caught by Van Orman, who dashed over the line for a touchdown.

Walders kicked an easy goal a moment later. West Point was astounded and amazed to be scored on In less than four minutes. Over on the other side of the field the red and white was waving everywhere. "Eat them up. men!" yelled the Army captain, as kicked off again The Army now had the wind behind her.

and began to play a kicking game. After several exchanges Pullen blocked one of Walders's punts on Cornell's line, and fell on the ball. With tho cadets wildly calling on their team for a touchdown, the Army tried Cornell's d. fence and found it too strong. Beavers then dropped back to the 35-yard line to try for a goal from the field.

Beavers dislikes to be hurried, and so calmly and without undue haste he got off his kick while the forwards stormed through the Army line Straight and true sped the ball over bar and between the posts, and the score was Cornell. 6: Army. 4 West Point received the next kick-off and rs promptly punted. The remainder of the half was up in exchanges of punts, although Cornell frequently tried the forward pass only to be penalised for failing to make it properly. Toward the dose of the half Carey fumbled one of Waiders's long punts and a man fell on th- ball like a flash on the Army's 15-yard line.

Cornell swashed out a first down and it was her ball on the Army's 4-yard line. Here the Army made a superb stand "and took brill away on downs. Beavers, standing bohind the goal line, punted out of danger, and the half snded with West Point in possession of th' ball on her own 80-yard line. Neither team made any changes during the int. i lnn.

The second half opened with the Army having the advantage of the wind. After Cornell had kicked off Beavers made a beautiful punt for sixty-five yards over Gardner's bead, and the Army gained on several exchanges! Then the Army essayed the first forward pass It gained twenty yards and West Point had the ball on Cornell's 40-yard line. Beavers tried another forward pass on the next play, hut the ball touched the ground mid the Army was penalized fifteen yards. A punting duel followed between Beavers and Walders, which the former had all the better or until Fowler brotn through and blocked a kick.

Princeton's defence was the tho team has displayed this y.iir and Amherst gained only one tlrst down, but the offonre was miserable and entirely larked th. dash and determination of last Saturday.

The slippery quarterbai made several dodging runs for distances of from twenty to forty yards. The feature of the game was Marian's drop kicking, and. had It not been for tils trusty toe. the score would have been smaller, In the first half he kicked a goal from 37-yard line, and In second half he booted one squarely between the posts from near the side of tha li- Id on the 25-yard line.

Two other tries failed. Another feature of the game was Wlsteis line bucking. He was the only man who could gain consistently through Amhersfs line and was responsible for the touchdown. On this play ho was brought hack of the in front of the fullback. Tibbotfs work was disappointing find ho di.l not show his us'ial ppeed This was partly due to the slippery condition of the field Amherst was never Inside the 40 -yard line, and reached that point only once, when Bbattuck tried a goal from field.

NAVY BOWS TO DEFEAT. VICTIM OF SWARTHMORE. O'Brien Kiel' Three Goals from the Field Against Annapolis. Telegraph Annapolis, Nov. 9.

The heavy and skilful football team of College defeated midshipmen here this afternoon by a score of IS to 0, the worst defeat the Navy lias In three seasons, during which Princeton and Harvard have i- among the opponents. O'Brien, the great little quarterback of the Quaker team, must get the credit for thirteen of the points. as he kicked three field goals and added another point by kicking a goal alter McDonough had made the only touchdown of the game. rthmore had a heavy team. But that was not all every man.

Including Coble, the 250-pound mountain of flesh, knew how to use his weight to advantage. A bettor coached team, perhaps, never played on the Annapolis field. In punting Douglas and Williams were about equal, and Swarthmore was not able to work ball Into Navy territory by this method. But in making straight gains through the lino and In running back the midshipmen could not match the work Of the visitors, it was by this method that Swarthmore got within striking distance of the goal line and gave O'Brien a chance to kick the bull between the uprights and over the crossbar. For the first time this season a team was able to make steady and material gains through the Navy line.

Time after time a Swarthmore back would break through, only to be stopped by secondary line of defence. A run of forty yards by O'Brien put the visitors In position for field goal In the first hnlf. In the second a kick which Douglas let get away from him to the Navy's five-yard line and a kick which Bwarthmore blocked led up to two other pretty goals from the field. Toward latter part of the game Swarthmore made gains of from five to fifteen yards through the Navy line. The midshipmen were not entirely discouraged at defeat, its a number of new men were tried on the, Navy team, Ktuart and Brand played aa guards, and this proved a vulnerable point for the Swarthmore attack.

Cambridge. Nov. The memory of ten previous defeats was forgotten to-day in the victory of the Carlisle Indians over Harvard by a score of 23 to 15. The open play of the Indian team has not been equalled on Soldiers' Field since the new rules went into effect. Forward passes, delayed kicks and cross passes followed each other In rapid and bewildering succession until the Harvard players were confounded with the variations In the play of their opponents, and Beemed utterly unable to stop the march of the Indians toward their goal.

The visitors scored twice in the first half and twice in the second, and all four times on straight and brilliant rushing to the goal line. The Harvard points were made on two touchdowns and a goal from placement by Captain Parker. Each of the touchdowns were made after fumbles by the Indians directly In front of their own goal line, bo that it was comparatively easy for the Crimson players to rush the ball over for a One of the Harvard goals fmm touchdown was missed, but little Mount Pleasant, the Indian quarterback, kicked three out of four attempts at the Harvard goal after similar scores. Mount Pleasant was undoubtedly the star of the game. He ran his team with such speed that all the Indian players were able to get the Jump on their Harvard opponents, while his selection of plays was varied and always timely.

His most brilliant effort was a dash of seventy-five yards through the entire Harvard eleven for a touchdown shortly after the beginning of the second half. The play was one of the most sensational seen on Soldiers' Field for many years. The lithe Indian quarterback aught a Harvard punt on his own 85-yard line and dashed straight for the assembling players. It seemed a hazardous play, but he proved too ellppepry for the Crimson tackier? He went through the greater portion of the Harvard eleven like a greased pig. and after shaking himself clear, he eluded Newhall.

who stood between him and the goal, and then dashed for the line. The three other Indian touchdowns were made through their success In bringing off the forward pass. The first Harvard score came through a rumble by Carlisle on their own 7-yard line and two Crimson rushes. More brilliant play followed for next few minutes on the part of Carlisle during which there was a futile attempt at a goal from the field. Finally the Ind, tans go! the ball on the Crimson 40-yard line and rushed it to the line on a delayed ps i Another forward pass sent it to the 10-yard line, and after two plunges at centre Mount Pleasant again signalled for the new play, and the ball was tossed directly to the goal line, far out of reach of any Harvard player, none of whom was anticipating such a play.

Captain Parker's goal from the field came soon after and brought the score up to 12 to 10 at the end of the first half. The crowd was anticipating more brilliant playing in the second half, and was well re- Warded when Mount Pleasant made his sensational dash for a touchdown soon after the play began. Then came the only Harvard rally In the game. From Carlisle's 50- yard line Harvard pushed the Indians steadily back twenty-five yards, where a forward pass was attempted and fumbled by a Carlisle player. Harvard recovered bill on the Indian's line and rushed It across In three plays.

After this the Indian goal was never in danger. On the other band. Harvard suffered two penalties In as many minutes, and this was followed by another Carlisle forward pass from Harvard's yard line to the 7-yard line, from where the Indians pushed the ball over for the last score Of the game.

Yale going for Pennle, who was to make the throw, and forcing htm to fall on the ball. This was the Yale method of Ing the play throughout, but It was only this one time.

After Brown had lost the ball on an illegal forward pass, after an exchange of kicks, Yale started to tear the Providence line apart la aa to buck the way to a touchdown from the 40- yard line. The tearing process was rudely stoped at the line, where tha Brown team braced amazingly for a badly beaten team and held like a stone wall.

Tha score came, however, as Coy circled Honnlss, who was a weak spot in Swayne'3 place at right end. and went across like a flash. Bigelow missed the try at goal this time, and the scon was 16-0.

but Dennis's kick was run well back by Jones, who took li to the 15-yard line. Ho went out on the nexi play, and on the next Coy plunged through the centre. There was little to game after that. Browaj kept on fighting, and was better at the end of game than at the beginning, but the was hopeless. The Judgment of Dennle seemed to be at fault throughout the same in that he did not send more plays at the Yale centre.

The trio in the middle of the Blue line seemed to bs outplayed by the Brown centre an 1 guards. Prown made gains nearly every time the centra was tried, and Yale, on the other hand, had to make ground through the tackles and around the ends. There was one Incident in the game, otherwise clean, which escaped all the officials. Wtaa Murphy was playing back for Yale In the second half a Yale cheer leader squatted down with his megaphone and sent him directions from the side lines.
