For nearly all or the leading coleses Oh
the country the football season came to
an end on Saturday. and after the games
20 be played on Thursday of this week
the only game of consequence to be
played Is that between West Point and
the Naval academy team on Saturday at
Philadelphia.
Brown and Dartmouth. Yale and Har-
ward broke training on Saturday, follow
ing the games at Manchester and New
Haven. For Harvard the defeat was
surprising-surprising because the Yale
eleven simply cast the Harvard eleven
aside like a team OF straw men aud
walked down the field for four toucn-
downs. Only once was the Yale lire
threatened and then with goal within
eight yards the Crimson lost the bal Or
downs.
For Brown the defeat came as a sur
prise. Brown was a favorite and Brown
was In a position to make better show

Crowell who was directing the team

been attempted and Browns chance 10 i'e

Dartmouth has defeated Brown, and the
second year in succession.

Brown team played the hardest schedule

against these colleges Brown would have
rolled up large scores.
Brown has scored ll9 points to 50 by

expected by the Brown team. The men
went into the game with abundant con-
noence. but the whirlwird attack OF the
Dartmouth eleven was something differ
