! The Tigers. with a large number OF substitutes
| reached Providence the Stoningon Line at
9 o'clock this morning, and went TO the Providence
Athletic Club where the had breakfast. All
the players were in the best Of condition. and.
though confident OF victory, hesitated 10 venture
any prediction TO the score. Tyres, who has
been playing fuback for the Tigers most OF the
present season left behind al Princeton, owing
10 some conditions in his studies. Wheeler. who
has recently recovered the Of his arm. played
at fullback and Black went in at right half.
Brown had all of her regular players, with the
exception Of Chesebro who Is suffering from an In
jured ankle. He replaced at centre by Melen-
DIV who has been playing at tackle all the season.
When the opposing teams lined up for play at

EQUALS OF the New-Jersey eleven. so far as weight
was concerned. but the Tigers played with dash
and spirit that in the way of surprise 10 the
Brown line and after the first few minutes Of play
il was evident that the Providence line was no
match for Prnceton's sturdy ground gamers.

Brown team after him. Wheeler did some splendid
line bucking and Reter made several brilliant
runs.
CLEAN AND OPEN GAME
In punting Brown made the better showing
Bates seldom failed to gain at least five yards on
an exchange of punts. Wheeler was too deliberate
IN his hunting and twice Hapgood broke through
for Brown and blocked the kick. Richardson. VINO
played right half for Brown. did practically all OF
the ground gaining for Brown. and had ms inter
ference been better his swift running and clever
lodging would doubtless have carried the pigskIn
over Princetons goal line. The game was re-
markably clean and open one with the pail IN
Princetons territory most OF the first hal' Only
one change was made during the game in the Inc
