TWO TERMS A HOODOO
SUCCESSFUL FOOT BALL CAP
TAINs RARELY REPEAT.

Princeton has had more junior foot ball
captains than any of the big foot ball in
stitutionS but since Cochrans supposedly
invincible team was beaten by Yale In 1897
only one junior captain has succeeded HIM
self and been captain in his senior year. It
Capt Cooney succeeds himself il Will be
counting a hoodoo which has attended cap
tains who have resumed the leadership for
another season. Princeton men always are
loyal to their captains, and Cooney's abii-
ity as a player and character a man
make him as good selection for captain as
could be made; but it is quite likely that
he will refuse TO accept the csptaincy an
other year and that it will be handed to
somebody eist.
Doc Hillebrand Declined.
There is precedent for such action. Doc
Hiliebrand was captain of the 1898 team
that defeated Yale. but would not accept
the berth for 1899. when Bill Edwards was
chosen. In 1890 Princeton was again sue
cessfui over Yale. In 1892 Ralph Davis was
a junior captain of the Princeton team,
which was beaten by Yale. He played
again in 1908 but declined the captaincy
that year. HIS successor was De Witt, and
De Wits team beat Yale.
1t is a long time since reelected Prince
have been numerous instances of reelected
captains elevens losing to Yale. E. A.
Poe was captain of the 80 team that Won
from the Blue, but his team the next year
was smothered by a score of 80 to 0. Then
came Doggy Trenchard. who as Junior led
the Tigers to victory over Yale in ~, and
who was captain again in 1894. In the lat
ter year Princeton was beaten by Penn
sylyania 10 to 0, and by Yale, "a to o.
Cochran was the next to meet defeat after
having a winning team as a junior. Al
though his SO team beat Yale, "a TO g. his
'97 team lost, to 0. Notwithstanding the
i'll fortune that had attended reelected
captains, Pell captain OF the 1900 Prince
ton team that lost to Yale, % to 5, was cap
tain again the following year and again his
team lost

Scorned Dishonest Tricks.


To return to the subject, the world Sc
ries between st. Louis and Chicago, the in
territorial loss of one of those games in St.
Louis by the Browns would necesstate the
playing of the seventh and final game, and
no ball ground In America could have held
the people that would have gathered to see
the test game. But, no-the pride and pa
triotism of those supposed untutored play
ers was paramount to any money consid-
Grafton.
The next year. 1887, Detroit won the
championship OF the National League and
the Browns again won the American; both
those teams clashed again for the world S
championship, but the Detroits beat the
Browns almost consecutively. In 1855 the
New York Giants, winners of the National
League pennant, did almost the same thing
again with the Browns In 1889 the Brook
lyns, winners of the American Association,
were defeated almost continuously by the
New York Giants, who again won the Ma
tionai League pennant. In 1890 came the
destruction of organized base ball by the
revolt Of the players, who formed an or
ganization of themselves, called the
brotherhood" After the 1890 base ball
failure all round the game was again put
on an organized footing by the brainy sup
porters of the game. and the base ball spar
rows, who are ever marplots, had to fly
back to their nest.
Temple Cup Games.
The fight for the Temple cup. which be-
gan in 1894 between league winners of the
twelve-club league and the team coming
in second demonstrated the immaculate
purity of those contests. The players in
both teams were interested in the gate re-
ceipts in those series. The matchless Bal
timore club of 1894 won the pennant in
that year. and they had for their opponents
the New York Giants. who came in second.
baltimore
never had an equal. The result of this
team made it nearly four straight games
over the Baltimore club. Next year, 1895,
the Baltimore club, winning the league PEN
nant again, had for their competitors the
Cleveland club. and that team almost re-
peated what New York did. In 1898 the
Baltimore club, who for the third time won
the National League pennant, turned on
the Cleveland team, who again came in sec
ond, and defeated that team four straight
games. The Temple cup series was always
q series of seven.
Those historical contests are recalled for
the edification and information of those
scoffers and maligners of the honesty of the
national game. While in Philadelphia and
New York last October, during the world
series, you could hear a class of people in
hotels and cars stating that one club was
going to lose one day and win the next,
and would play as many games as they
could to get all the money there was in ii
in those games, but those half-wise sure
thing bettors suffered a great financial loss
when the New York club won three con-
secutive games. TED SULLIVAN.

Dartmouth Best Minor.

OF the minor teams. Dartmouth made the
brilliant record of tie with Harvard and
a defeat of Princeton. Brown held three OF
the Big Four" to low scores. She played
Pennsylvania, Harvard and Yale in as many
weeks. and held each to two scores. Swarth-
more beat Cornell decisively and played
splendid game in every other match she
played. She had some fine players and de-
veloped a strong attack and defense. La
fayette missed her usual standard, though
she held Pennsylvania to tie. The Car
Isle Indians made good showing, in spite
of the terrifically hard schedule they at
tempted. Their defeat of West Point was
most cherished by the redmen. Amherst,
Williams and Colgate showed excellent
work. Annapolis made fine record but
her supreme test is yet to come. West
Point though disappointment. still has
chance of retrieving herself.
Altogether, 1t has been a good year for
the small colleges. In point of interest and
attendance the year has broken records.

Navy game is more open and uncertain this
fall than it has ever been in any previous

better showing, but West Point has done
some good work at different times during

On the season there can be no question
about the leader. Yale deserves the honor
by virtue of her undefeated record. and
even more, If possible, by, reason of the
failure of any team to cross her goal line
The only score made against the Blue was
the goal from the field gained by Princeton.

Quakers Second.

By reason of her unbeaten team and the
victory over Harvard. Pennsylvania prob
ably deserves second place in spite of the
tie game played with Lafayette. At the
same time it is doubtful If the Pennsylvania
team could have beaten Harvard as Har
ward played against Yale. The Quakers had
a remarkably strong defense, but while
their offense was at times good it was not
sustained, and they made mistakes. and
many of them that were costly. All the
scores that were made against them result
ed from these mistakes and many oppor-
tunities to score were lost through them.
Harvard had the best material of any
team on the field. but there was the usual
changing of methods that has spoiled so
many teams at Cambridge. In only the
game with Yale did she do justice to her
self. and then failed, in a measure, through
suhstitutions
Princeton must be placed fourth of the
big Four through her double defeat at
the hands of Yale and Dartmouth, though
her plucky fight in the closing game entities
her to respect. Princeton, too, was aftiict-
ed with lack of material as Yale was. The
defense of the Tigers was rather weak.
The attack was only good on shooting plays
outside of tackle, and the kicking was very
poor. Columbia and Cornell both made a
poor showing in spite of fair material

of Fort Pierre begin to take stock. They find
that seventeen houses went down the Missouri,

A party of ladies from Fort Pierre have not

regard to them is that they did not reach the
ranch they started for. While these missing
may report later, death is feared for some of
them but SO far the only deaths known to a
certainty are those of Branake at Bovine, Arthur
