What important purpose can flight in

1T MEANT MUTINY.

One morning British man-of-war was

sign of mutiny on board" says the ST.

purely the spirit of duty which stimu-
lated them, but anyhow a most exciting
race ensued-in fact, there was a narrow
escape OF bad smash as they reached
the vessel. There the officers and some
OF the crew were at the taffrail, shout
ing themselves hoarse and reckoning to
the two boats to come on faster AT

eager for the fray with the mutineers.

PRINCETON FOOTBALL.
Recent Additions to the Tigers,
Eleven Give Great Promise,


PRINCETON, Oct G-The Princeton
eleven begins to assume definite shape.
The dozens of so-called prominent candi-
dates have been weeded out, leaving
majority of the veterans and few new
men While the men have played stead
iy and hard, there seems to be a lament
able lack of snap for so early in the
sea son.
Brown, of last years team, and Coch-
ran, Freshman, are taking care of the
ENDS. Brown, while an earnest, resulute
player, is scarcely up to his usual form.
Cochran, on the contrary, though new
man, Is putting up a steady game and is
particularly active in following the ball
down the fed. Lea Is at right-tackle
and gets more out of that position than
any man now playing. Wheeler and
Taylor occupy right and let; tackle re-
spectively.
Taylor's game is not yet what 1t should
be, he seeming to lack the push and
energy which characterized his playing
last season. At centre 1t is "A tOsS-up
between Crowds. last years scrub" cen
tire rush, and Riggs, younger brother of
the famous Jesse. Both are big, strong
men, but the years experience acquired
by Crowds under Ballet viii probably
give him the position.

Tigers. The new COachers, Bergen
George. Spicer and others, will come tC
