taken to avoid injury TO any one OF the

Providence. although never very en-

have presented 10 them an opportunity
which has never been offered them before
and which IL will probably be extremely
hard to duplicate for many years TO come.
They have a chance TO witness a struggle
on the gridron. which, for fierce. hard

any OF the big, games OF the year.
Princeton. without doubt, has the weak
