The development which the team up or
the hill has shown in the past few games
In one OF the most pleasing things that
can be noted and the boys are not slow tc
show Just how they feel In the matter
Every game that is played gives the
supporters OF the colors OF Brown and
White little TO hope for and to expect
when the final contest OF the season
comes The team has been steadily i'm
proving since the crushing defeat received
at the hands OF Harvard and now the
tea m that can be put I'm the field is not
very far behind last years in quality.
There were few pleasing surprises to
be noted in the game last Saturday In the
way the boys all played.
weikert was given a chance to show
what stun he was made out OF and made
good TO a far greater extent than was
dreamed OF by the coaches even. lie was
rather a light man for the position In
which he played but that handicap did
not prevent his gaining ground I'm a re-
msrksble manner and every time that he
was called upon 10 open UP hole ne
old his duty I'm a whole-souled manner. IL
seemed compa rat lively easy for him to
open up holes for the man with the ball
and being light on his feet when he was
called upon to run he not only carried the
ball quickly but he held IL securely. To
one on the side-lipes II would seem that
II played In the position OF half, with his
line punging qualities and the swiftness
with which he gets into all the plays he
would furnish star for the college.
Higgins was another man that showed
up we'll In fact he was the particular
star OF the game and the manner in
which ne keeps his feet stamps his as one
of the best tackles that Brown has had
for some time. He has been playing his
fine game all the season and Saturdays
performance was not to be unexpected.
one OF the other surprises OF the after
noon was the manner in which Leland
played. Every day as the season length
ems II II seen what folly II was that
this player did not come out for the team
iuring his earlier days In college.
Leland shows his massive strength in
slmost every game that Is played and II
he bad been playing for couple OF sea-
sons by this time he would be star OF
the first quality as a guard. So far he
has held his own with almost all the men
he has been upagainet. Fletcher. too. seem
ed 10 have acquired little more fire than
usual In the game on Saturday. For a
few games back this player has not been
UP TO expectations but Saturday struck
his gait and maintained X all through the
contest II would seem that when all the
players that are now on the injured list
have recovered and able TO be once moro
IN the game Brown will have fine show
st defeating Dartmouth when they meet
for the final crucial test.
DARTMOUTH Is, AMHERST o.
The game that Dartmouth and Amherst
played on saturday was one OF the most
fercely contested events Of the season on
that section OF the country. The only
thing that made the men from Hanover
successful was the fact that they out
weighed their opponents and worked
couple OF trick plays successfully. Only
tho first OF the three touchdovns was
made by straight football.
HARVARD H. PENNsY 10.
In the game that Harvard and Pennsy
PLAYED on Saturday the Crimson boys
CLEARLY outplsyed their opponents at every
stage OF the game. The backs OF the
home team were lighter and easily thrown
back In almost every play. The two touch
downs that they made were virtually
gifts.
PRINCETON II. LAFAYETTE o.
Princeton defeated lafayette by the
score of II TO q last Saturday in one Of
the poorest exhibitions OF football seen
81 Princeton this season. After the first
touchdown which was made during the
first ten minutes 81 play Princeton seemed
unable 10 handle the heavier team and
could not score until the last few minutes
from tho 4o-yard line.
YALE 80 SYRACUSE 0.
Yale won from Syracuse at football
Saturday afternoon on Yale field by a
score Of 40 10 o. That was six points
more than the score OF a year ago. but
the game was less satisfactory to the
supporters OF the Blue than the former
one. Syracuse was too weak 20 threat ten
the goal at any time. and never came
within range Of the posts for a kick save
once.
