PRINCETON VS.. DARTMOUTH
Athletic Relations May Be Resumed Be-
tween Two Universities.

WORCESTER. Mass Dec. 21.-From an
authoritative source here today il was
learned that the Dartmouth Athletic Coun-
Gil is endeaYoring to arrange an athletic
alliance with Princeton, and that the efforts
of the Williamstown athletes were likely
to be crowned with success.
Since the bad beating that the Tigers
administered to Dartmouth two years ago
the two institutions have not met on the
athletic field.
The suspension OF relations was caused
by no ill-feelng, but was forced by matters
that the authorities at Princeton consid-
cred sufficiently strong to prompt the end
ing of athletic meetings with Dartmouth.
Dartmouths move to renew relationship
with Princeton follows close on the heels
of the amicable ending OF the differences
with Williams.

only two more series to roll, and the

with a string of nine victories Newark
would still have an advantage of one

ting climax, averaged 1,027 in the hve-man

Johnny VOORHEES,, in the individual series.
The local representative won three out of
five games, one of them by lone pin.
Every score was above the double-century
