In the estimation OF Brown men and
Dartmouth men, at least. and In the gem
eral opinion of those who are Interested
In and follow football the game between
Brown and Dartmouth. which will be
played tomorrow afternoon at Manches-
ter, will be second 10 the Harvsrd-Yale
game only In point OF attendance. The
spirit Of rivalry between, the two col
leges was never at such a pitch and IL is
probable that the game will be witness
ed by crowd which will be the largest
that ever witnessed contest between
colleges which are considered minor In
stitutions OF education because OF the
number OF students attending

ber OF Brown and Dartmouth under
graduates who will witness the game

expected from Hanover and at least 200
from Brown. In Manchester many OF the
stores and shops will close early In the

game Of football ever played In the city.

tions have been made at NariaS Park,
where the game will be played. to accom-
modate at least 10000 persons. and III the
day be pleasant iUwould not be surprising
II many more than that number were on
the field when time is called
COMPARISON OF TEAMS
Both teams have been in careful prepa-
ration for the game. Last year Dartmouth
won It's first game from Brown by a
score OF q TO o. but II will be recalled
that last year Brown made sorry

previous years. Encouraged by the sue
cess last year Dartmouth has gone the
limit This year and has made the Brown
game the game Of the schedule, while
Brown has made more preparation Tor
this game than ever before.
There is no denying the fact that Dart
mouth has a good team and IL is certain
enough that Brown will have game
that will require the best energies OF the
players and the best Judgment OF the
coaches in order to win. but In this game
which will be hard fought from beginning

mouth men has been anything 10 beat
Brown The Brown men have connned
themselves 20 the sentiment that Brown
must -xin-and with these two thoughts
uppermost at all times the preparation
for the game has done on this week at
both colleges.
DARTMOUTH AT CAMBRIDGE.
The Dartmouth team played splendid
football last Saturday at Cambridge and
scored on Harvard. the disinterestcd
spectators maintaining that until the
last eight minutes OF play Harvard was
outplayed. and len IL is considered That
Harvard and Vale are considered TO he
the best In football in the country the
import OF this observation can be under

Harvard. scored three times on Dart
mouth while the best Harvard could do
against Brown was si~ e touchdown.
In the Harvard game Bro"n was without
the services of Russ and Lynch was IN
the back field In his frst big game
Hynch's inexperience was evident in this
game Harvard was stronger In the
Brown game than she was In the game
with Dartmouth. particularly at centre
but the team should be further advanced
in team work and 80 all In all for pur-
poses of comparison II is fair to assume
the team that played Brown was the
equal OF the team that played Dartmouth.

and the playing Of an inexperienced man
at half back is considered
BROWN AGAINST HARVARD.
Brown was able to hold the Harvard
team for downs and while the team was
worn out apparently In the second hair
II was then that Brown made her best
stand. The Dartmouth team was able 10
rush the heavy Harvard line better than
Brown had been able TO do. The Dart
mouth team gained something like l'6

minutes OF the game that Harvard show
ed what the team could do and walked
through the Dartmouth team for two
touchdowns and one goal IL Is fact
that Yale. Harvard. Pennsylvania and
Lafayette have only been able to score a
Yale got q goal from the field and was
the only team Of the Big Four that
made double figures In game with
Brown In the game with Tufts, with
eight substituted playing. the Brown
goal line was crossed twice. but IL is GER

on the gridiron Brown would never
have been scored OF and the score against
Tufts would have been much Increased.
