victory. Yale followed a week later and by
another tight squeeze carried away the victory

the fans are asking. Against Dartmouth, a
slow, ponderous team, Princeton raced up and
down the field at will, winning AZ to O. If

day 1t is believed they may overwhelm West
Point, but in the cadets they will find bunch.
Saturday will see the wolverines at Franklin

today are:' Cornell Holy Cross, Dartmouth Am
