GOSSIP OF THE CANVAS BACKS.
Results. of the Various Football
Contests.

Princeton's colors were dragged in the
dust Saturday, a result which surprised
the football world. The game at Tren-
ton, however, was no disgrace to the
brave sons of old Nassau, as their play
was up to the standard. Thu trouble
was with Pennsylvania. The Quakers
surprised everybody, even their friends.
Pennsylvania can certainly boast of one
of the finest football elevens ever turned
out by an American college. The sys-
tenn of interference was without ques-
ton the finest ever displayed on an
American football field. 1t was invent
ed by Coach Woodruff, and in nearly
every instance 1t worked to perfection,
whether tried through the line or around
the ends. Both ends and tackles fell
back of the line with the two half backs
and full back. Then the moment the
ball was snapped PACK to the quarter
seven Quakers dashed toward either the
right or left of Princeton's line, the ball
being concealed nearly half the time.
Each man seemed to know which of
the Tigers to take care of, and as a
result those usually hard men to pass,
Trenchard, Lee, Wheeler and Holly, were
simply like so many paper dolls. The
whole game can be summed up in a few
words. The Tigers were outclassed.
They played like demons, but Pennsyl-
yania played better and won
