Princeton Only Scored Against Twice
EenusH1vania Figures = Good Second,
With the games played on Thanksgiving Day
the football season practically came to a close,
and the knights of the Gridiron can now return
TO their books and dream OF long runs. tackles,
and touchdowns. and at the same time nurse
the wounds received while battling for the
honor Of their respective colleges. The season
was BY long odds the most exciting in the his
tory Of the game. Thousands of people who in
past years hardly took any notice of the sport
are now sorry that they will have to walt almost
a year before they can again see the leading
elevens In combat,
To compare the records of the twelve colleges
supposed to have the strongest array OF players,
tho Princeton eleven. without any doubt, can
lay claim to the championship. Truo, the
Jerseymen did not meet the University of
Pennsyivania players. but II figures count the
latter eleven would surely have lost II the teams
had como together. 1t is q matter of opinion as
TO whether Yale or Harvard Is the stronger. II
the work Of the two teams as shown against
Princeton 10 compared Harvard Is the better
eleven. otherwise Old Ell is stronger. Five
eeams scored against each. but Yale lost only
one game while Harvard went down In four.
Next to the big four the Lafayette, Brown,
and Carlisle teams attracted the most atten-
ton. The frst-named team was not considered
at all when tho critics sized up tho various
elevens IN the minor games, but as tho season
advanced Lafayette was placed on a par with
the big four, Another revelation In the football
world was the work Of the Carlisle Indians.

Plainfield June 3-ThIeves entered the ralr-
view House In South Plainheld early this morn
ing. and with the aid Of chloroform robbed the
proprietor and his wife Of S120 in money, wh'ch
was hidden I'm their bed. The thieves were not
heard entering the house. They placed hand-
kerchiefs with chloroform the faces OF fltz-
gerald and his wife. both of whom became un-
conscious They then removed the two people
from the bed and took the money
The thieves went through the house, packed
up a quantity OF clothing and some silverware
They had bicycles ready to ride away but F1tZ-
garald's daughter awakened by hearing the
men and she screamed. This caused the thieves
TO become frightened and they escaped from
the house. taking only the money with them
From the fact that the thieves went TO the
sleeping apartments Of the Ftzgerads at once,
II is believed that they knew where the money
was concealed This has caused the authorities 10
suspect several characters in the vicinity. Thus
far no arrests have been made In connection with
the robbery. but the police say they expect 10
catch the guilty parties.
The Fitzgerald girl tried 10 arouse her fathe:
and mother. and not being succes'ful. she
aroused the neighbors. They summoned phy-
scian. who succeeded In awakening the uncon-
sclous pair who still sick from the effects
of the chloroform
