carefully the work OF the two teams dur

game and did all that one could reasonably
expect, but when II is realized that the
team lost two OF It's best men In the
back field from injuries. that the line was
experimental with constantly and was
not determined until two or three days
prior TO the game. IL will be seen that the
Princeton men had no more commences
