The last time Princeton played football in
Cambridge was on Saturday, Nov. 10. 1889,
when Harvard was beaten by . score Of Al To
10. Tho winning eleven was made up of Dom
ely, Cowan, anyway. George, Riggs, Cash,
warren. Poe. Black, Charming. and Ames,
while the Harvard players were Cumnock, Up
ton, Cranston, Tilton, p. Trafford, Stickney,
Crosby. Dean, Lee. SAKE. and B. Traford. This
game was the direct cause of tho breach between
the colleges, which was not healed until q year
ago. harvard made charges Of professionalism
against several members Of tho Princeton team.
notably Donnelly and Ames. but they were
never proved. Tho game was notable for rough
play, and Donnelly and Riggs were ordered Off
the fold. There 10 the best OF feeling between
these colleges now, however, and whichever
wins will receive the congratulations of tho
loser.
When the teams line up next Saturday II will
be noticed at once that the Harvard rush line
contains more beef than that of Princeton, but
the Tigers figure that their limo will prove faster
and more active. Cabot, who will probably
play left end for the Crimson, will face Capt.
Garrett Cochran. The latter is considered the
best right end In the colleges, but he will un-
doubtedly have his hands full IL Cabot 10 In

posed, however. Lewis. who Is his un-
