The outlook for a successful trip is not
quite as bright as II was few days ago.
Unforeseen trouble has arisen lately.
which looks to have an important effect
on the outcome of today's game. Capt.
Washburn. who has not been In the best
of health for the past two weeks, took 10
his bed yesterday with his pulse down to
as He Is completely run down. and al
though this morning he stoutly afiirms
tha,Ahe Is going TO get MP and go with his
tea still IL IS extremely probable that
he 8l be obliged 70 keep In bed for a
mum r OF days. Deprived of Washburn's
servfNes, not only as player, but also
as a leader, II is right TO believe that the
teams general playing ability will be les
sened
Looking for a man to take Capt Wash
burns place. we find Harry Ball. who
has been first substitute half back all the
season, laid up with water on the knee.
This lamentable fact, OF course, puts the
little Bostonian out of tho game for the
rest of the season. The next substitute,
Newton, stopped playing several weeks
ago, and Is all out OF training. Not
man can be found to act as Barrys run
ming mate Saturday. The last resort was
an attempt TO ring I'm" Harry Paine.
who played on the team two years ago.
but has since been disqualified because OF
delinquencies in studies. At a late hour
last night things looked very unfavorable
the athletic committee of the faculty be-
ing very emphatic In denying Paines ell
gibility. There is one chance In hum
dred OF Capt Washburn's playing tomor-
row IL he does not, Robinson will have
TO find a new back before tomorrow af-
ternoon, break him in, and get him into
condition TO play. Otherwise he will have
TO pull back one OF the linemen and fill
his vacancy with line substitute. IL Is
evident that the local college is going into
the game greatly handicapped, and too
much must not ne expected OF them.
No mass meetings have been held, no
encouragement has been given the team,
in fact, the students seem to be all dead.
All Dartmouth, meeting after meeting has
been held. and the green and white will
go into the game tomorrow backed up by
every man in their college. This Is one
side OF Brown athletics that Is not as yet
fully developed. and. until 1t Is, Brown
athletics will never reach their full pos
sibilities Whether or not any students
are going up to see the game could not
be learned this morning.
The practice yesterday was rather life
less. A so-called second eleven was out.
but the hard luck OF the team and the
general indifference displayed by the stu
dents had their effect. The men can be
depended upon, however, to- play hard
game. and even with a brand new half
back I'm the lineup, Brown should easily
win the game.
Manager Linden said yesterday that he
had arranged for a telegraphic account OF
the game and the students can see the
result on any OF the bulletins down town.
