The Indians and the University CT Viz

the Indian team and the Nirg'nians have
twenty four OF the former. Glenn S.

BALTIMORE. Oct. 12.-After a scrappy
game in which the ball was frequently
in the Tigers territory, Princeton won
from the Baltimore Medical College IL

have had comparatively little practice
and were therefore wocfully deficient in
team play and interference. the victory
might have been on the other side.
The Tigers defence was weak and the
medicos plunged through the line almost
at will They got the ball as far as
Princeton S-yard line. when Wright. as
the medicos claim, snatched the ball.
