Its Ancient Enemy,
Princeton.
PLAYED IN COLD AND RAIN
Local University Defeats Old Nassau in
Hard-Fought Contest-Blewett's Bril-
liant Work-Ragged Fielding

gressive ball tossers, thu Sc Tigers who
low the bitter pill of defeat, again sur
rendered 10 the conquering aggregation
that this year defends the standard of
the Blue and Gray. Yesterdays defeat
was even more crushing and mortifying
than the one administered by Georgetown
last Saturday.
At one time the Tigers had overpow-
cred their antagonists, and were about
to settle down and devour them at their
leisure. As the mighty jaws were about
to close. however. Georgetown rose in its
strength, and did things to the Princeton
Tigers that will be long remembered in
old Nassau.
From a purely baseball standpoint. the
game did not amount to much. Even the
weather conspired against the collegiate
ball-tossers. Over head the gray, threat
ening clouds occasionally sent furries OF
cold rain swirling over the diamond. To
add to the discomfort of the ball players
and spectators alike. cold, biting wind
swept fcrcefully over the college campus.
Large Crowd Present.
Notwithstanding these discouraging con-
ditions, however. a goodly crowd of root
ers turned out and lent rescunding vocal
encouragement to their respective favor
ties. During the first of the game the
Princeton cohorts had everything their
own way. The Georgetown supporters
while occasionally indulging in faint-
hearted cheer, left the bulk of the noisy
enthusiasm to those who occupied the
Princeton side of the field
1t was in the fourth inning that they
OF Georgetown inaugurated their noisy
campaign, that lasted. without interrupt
tion. until the last of the game. Inc
Princeton rooters. however. were still un-
daunted. and continued to encourage their
champions with the old familiar yells OF
their alma mater. 1t this stage OF the
game the to- tl each accumulated

Georgetown Celebrates.
Although it was not the clear-cut VIC
tory that fell to Georgetown's share last
saturday. the boys from across the creek
w.ra more than delighted to defeat the
r;,ers under any circumstances, and did
not question too closely the why and

Georgetown fairly made the weikih ring
