The result OF the game played py the
Brown team on Andrews field with the
team from the Springfield Training school
eleven was not In the least satisfactory
to the Brown coaches or to the college
men. The team was expected to put up
q much better game than II did and II
would appear that the players had
siumped considerably.
OF course a slump is expected from
any team that has had TO stand hard
training for two months OF more. but
for the team to show the form IL did
within a week OF a game that is one of
the most important on the seasons sched-
ule Is sadly disappointing.
Ii will take all OF the energies OF the
players and the resources OF the coaches
to get Brown into condition for the game.
and viewing the team from the most fa-
vorable aspect IL would appear that
Brown has got its work cut out II II is
expected to win from Dartmouth
DARTMoUTHs GOOD SHOWING.
The Dartmouth team played Harvard
at Cambridge on Saturday and there was
defeated by a score of 16 to g. TO be

shall. the quarterback, was not behind
the line.
But Dartmouth played a steady and
consistent game and In the first half the
team carried the ball nearly the whole
length OF the fleld only TO lose all that
had been gained because OF a tumble.
The offensive work was strong and good.
and the team showed up finely In general.
The pace set was fast and the Dartmouth
team did not hold out against the superior
weight OF the Harvard eleven.
The first half ended with Harvard
leading by a score of to 0. In the sec
ond half Dartmouth scored and then
Harvard braced and in the last 10 min
utes OF play made two touchdowns and
Barnard missed two attempts for goal.
From Harvard standpoint the game was
decidedly unsatisfactory. but from a
Dartmouth standpoint the Hanover team
did we'll In fact to score on Harvard
was quite as much as the Dartmouth
men expected
COMPARISON OF SCORES.
II will be recalled that Amhefst held
Harvard TO score similar TO what
Brown made. Then Amherst defeated
Dartmouth. Brown defeated Columbia by
a score of 20 TO 0. and Amherst defeated
the same team by the same score. But
Columbia was not as strong In the Am
herst game IL was when IL played
Brown.
Dartmouth was not as strong In the
Amherst game "a II was In the game
with Harvard on Saturday, for that de-
feat took some OF the confidence out OF
the eleven and inspired the coaches to
harder and better work. Since the am
herst game Dartmouth has been playing
football with the idea OF defeating Brown.
and from the showing made on Saturday
Brown will have it's hands full in order
TO defeat the green and white on Satur-
day next.
BROWNS POOR WORK.
Four Of the Brown men were hurt on
Saturday Hamilton, Lynch, Hascall and
Sneehan. and Sheehan got a bump on his
bad knee that may keep him from prac-
tice the greater part OF the week. Cap
tain Barry was not I'm the game. and his
brilliant work was sadly missed The Of
fense Of the Brown team seemed TO be
weak, for during the first half Brown
could not cross the goal line OF the Spring
field team.
with the ball on the three yard line
Brown could not penetrate the Springfield
line for a touchdown. and time and time
again Brown worked the ball down the
field only to lose II when strong and con-
sistent work was necessary. There was
a good deal Of fumbling In the Brown
team. and there seemed to be lack OF
team work that was vital in success
