OVever, tomorrow.
general theme OF conversation
Eollege at present Is the treat
M ceived by Brown teams whenever
tho up to Hanover. One of the Sun
day papers seems to sum UP the matter
quite clearly IN the following statement
1T was a game marked by dirty playing
on Dartmouth's part. by unfair treatment
on the part OF the crowd, by poor officiat-
i9g on the part OF Referee Penrose, and
by babyish playing for time on the part
OF Capt. Lowe and the entire Dartmouth
team"
Several Of the Brown players were In
terviewed on the subject. and all are
unanimous I'm their smpport of the above
statement. When they walked on TO the
field, they were greeted by weak clap
ping of hands. coming entirely from the
visitors present immediately following
this, the Dartmouth students seated close
ly together In the reserved stand began
series OF yells and boots. intermingled
with Kisses. and ending always with ITO
hill with the Brown muckers! When
Brown had the ball. the ''rowdies" would
set up such a bowling that the local play
ers could not hear Scudders signals; but
when Dartmouth took her turn at II.
they were quiet as a sleeping deacon.
Saturdays lamentable occurrence was
but a repetition OF that of last spring
during Brown week" at Hanover. At
that time the Brown teams were both

not a room was provided for the Brown
men when they reached the New Hamp-
shire village, and they were Obliged 10
camp out as best they could, always
being reminded that they were muck
ers," and mo good" Coktrasted with
Browns former treatment OF Dartmouth,
the conduct OF the green and white be-
comes even more inexcusabe and despic-
able. When the debating team came down
from the north two years ago, they were
quartered at the Narragansett and ten
dcred reception afterward.
When their football team was here last
fall Brown hired boxes for them al the
Providence Opera House after the game,
and later gave them a rousing send on at
the station. Finally taking into consid-
era tion the feet that last June the cap
tain OF the Dartmouth base ball team
gave TO Capt. Clark OF Grown his word OF
honor that nothing OF the kind should
ever occur again. Saturdays proceedings
mark more strongly than ever the ungen-
tlemanliness and dishonofableness or the
Dartmouth student body.
In the light OF the foregoing events,
there is quite little discussion going on
among those most prominent In athletics
at Brown. The question mas arisen wheth-
or or not Brown shall have any future
athletic relations with Dartmouth Brown.
superior to Dartmouth I'm all branches for
the past ten years. has nothing 10 gain
thereby, while Dartmouth, should she sue
ceed in once defeating the local college,
would pront immensely.
One thing has been decided once and
for all. Brown will visit Hanover no
more Should she agree to continue her
games with the New Hampshire college,
those games must be played either I'm
Providence or In some neutral city. The
Board OF Faculty Athletic Directors have
decided upon this. and the question now
is, shall we play Dartmouth at all?"
canvass OF the students body reveals
the fact that ninety per cent are i'm favor
OF playing off the games arranged with
Dartmouth i'm Providence next June, and
then dropping the "rowdies' for good.
On the whole. this last opinion seems to
be the wiser The intention is TO get
Dartmouth down here next spring show
them how a gentleman can treat his
guest. beat them fairly and squarely. and
then sever forever relation which can
never mean anything good for Brown.
but. on the other hand, may accord much
undeserved honor TO Dartmouth.
A mass meeting OF the Brown student
body is 10 be held I'm the near future, and
then something definite of course will be
