among tho wearers Of tho orange and black.
Thoir football representatives have been van
ouishod by the sturdy rushers OF the UDiver-
si,y of Pen ylvania. and all Prime eton mourns.
On the beautiful green at Mannheim the Tigers
went down before the red and blue. whilo 20.-
600 persons looked on at tho slaughter.
Tho great majority OF those present were
devoted followers Of the Quaker kickers. and
their jubilsnt shouts rent the atmosp here.
while their flags waved gayly In the chilling
breeze. 1t was a sensational event In the his
tory OF American football. A team represent
ing one OF the big universities were beaten.
True. 1t was by the narrow margin Of to 4.
but still a defeat to Princeton. Yale. or llar-
ward Ia q thing to cause general astonshment.
1t shows. moreover. that the supposedly weak
college teams have been quietly gaining in
strength until they are in position to make
matters interesting for the trio OF football
teams that have SO long ruled the 1ve-yard
battle-ground.
Princetop's defeat shows that Pennsylvania

posed. Princeton men were willing to bet 10
previous to the game that fennsyiFah'a
would not score. and anybody who ilad h'h.eu
that tho Quakers had any chance OF W'nn'hs
would have been looked on as lacking "eh'ai
equilibrium.

work was after tho manner of whiriwind:
their tackling was done in the fashion OF the
grizzly bear; they blocked like Il stone wall:

The Princetons tried every device in the
hope OF finding weak spot in the Pennsyl-
yania make up. but failed. They tried to gain
ground by bucking the centre. but the her
culean rush line Of the Pennsylvanians pushed
tho Prime etonians back as though they wore
children.
