Princeton Eleven Barely Man
ages to Beat Out Villa
Nova Team.

P~rinceton's showing against the Villa
Nova football team yesterday was n
thing but flattering, and to say that the
coaches are worried over the prospects
in the big games is putting 1t mildly. If
a team cannot score against Lafayette
and just squeezes out a 60 victory over
Villa Nova, what chance will it have
against Dartmouth, West Point and
Yale, the three big games on the Tigers
SCHEDULED
| There is a considerable feeling of I'M
easiness among the undergraduates as
a result of the poor showing the team
has been making. The first few games
were considered practise games, n 1t
was evident that the small score did not
represent the comparative strength of
the teams. Lafayette came along and
played Princeton to q ~standstill, though
the Tigers tried hard. villa Nova came
along yesterday and repeated ~theprocess
to @ degree. With these facts the stu
dents are guessing. One thing Is GER
tain. The team is far behind in de-
velopment of the teams of other sea-
sons at this particular stage of the
schedule.
During the first half there was con-
siderable punting and a number of end
runs were used. The line held we'll at
times, but not consistently, and the WIS.,
itors would advance the ball into
Princeton's territory. There was a
considerable amount of fumbling. and
Princeton lost many yards becaus OF

AGAINST BLOOMFIELD HIGH

tary eleven in an exciting game by the
score Of IL to 2. Montclair scored once
in each half, while New York secured a
safety in the second period, when
Quarterback Half, OF Montclair, caught
a drop-klck on the vineyard line and
was thrown behind the goal line. Mont
clair's first tally came as the result of
a blocked kick of the visitors, when
Walden fell on the pinskin on his op-
ponents' seven-yard line, and in two
plunges was showed over for a touch
down. Haff kicked the goal from a diff
ficult angle. Late in the second half
the visitors tried a crude triple pass
on their own thirty-yard line. The ball
fell into the hands of the home teams
right end, Hazel, and he trotted over
the line for a touchdown. Half also
kicked this goal.
The visitors were completely out
classed and at no stage of the game
did they threaten to overcome the Mont
clair boys lead. Leslie, of the visitors
once broke through the line and had
a clear field before him, but he foolish
ly lodged and was trapped. Again
when the New York lads had the
leather on their opponents fifteen-yard
line and first down, they attempted q
drop-kick instead Of rushing the ball.
Half, Walden, Hazel and Partridge
excelled for the winners, while Captain
Leslie played well for the visitors
Montclalr put in many substitutes to-
ward the end of the contest.

NEWARK HIGH TO PLAY
MONTCLAlR TOMORROW

Newark High School football team
received a disappointment yesterday
when Rutgers scrub at the last minute
Cancelled the game scheduled with the
locals. It was a hard blow to the blue
and white, as the boys needed a con-
test badly to put them in shape for
Montclair High School tomorrow. New
ertheless, the lads are confident Of
giving their opponents a trouncing.
1t is the first league game for each
eleven and 1t is very important to both
of them, as a defeat would practically
put the loser out of the running for the
championship. The improved practise
of late has been YER encouraging, and
the boys are now pulling together in
great shape.
The final ticks were put in this after
noon, and tomorrow the Newark war
riors will show Montclair a point or
two about the game. The struggle will
AXE place at Morris Park, and a big
crowd is expected. The boys will prob
ably lineup as follows:

The profits of yesterdays game did
not go to swell the income of the play

That recalls to mind the fact that
the winners share might have been
pocketed by the New York Nationals
but for a certain play by a certain
PLAYER one September afternoon. But
that's ancient history now, and there's
no need figuring on what might have
been.
Before the worlds series the writer
ventured to predict that the series
would go five games, the Cubs winning
four. 1t so happened that things turned
out Just that way. This year the teams
met on v terms. Both had to
fight to the last ditch to win the PEN
nant in their respective leagues. The
overwhelming defeat of the American
surely substantiates tho claim
that Chicago Is the better team.
p The Cubs won the first at Detroit
last Saturday, 10 to 8. They repeated
at Chicago on Sunday, winning 6 to l..
The third game, played in the Windy
City, went to Detroit, s to 8, but In
the two remaining battles, fought IN

Leaguers shut out the foe, 8 to 0 and

made only 4 errors to the Tigers 9. The
Cubs batted .293 to the Tigers .2o5. h
Cubs fielded .9S1 to the Tigers .9o4. h
Cubs scored two shutouts, whereas the
Tigers scored none. The Cubs played
better inside ball. The Cubs were the
better team. Can there be any doubt
after the comparison Of those figures?
Brown and Overall shared the pitch
ing honors for Chicago. Each won
two games. Detroit's lone victory was
scored by Mullin. Chance and Schultz
led the Cubs in hitting with an aver
age of $3.50. Cobb, the Tigers slugger,
lived up to his reputation by clouting
the ball for a mark of 1868.

In a contest in which many substitutes

in the second half, Gertsch and Katz
took the place of Sandmeyer at guard,
and Coursen and Mackin were given a
try-out at quarterback. These changes
account in a large measure for the low
score.
For a time in the second half the
Bloomfield boys looked dangerous, and
by straight football carried the leather
to the visitors six-yard line. Here the
red and black braced and warded off
what looked like a sure score. The
locals scored three times on straight
football, Hill, Bissell and Mccoy carry
ing the pigskin. Hill kicked all three
goals.
The high school team was ~outclassed
and with the exception of a few min
utes in the second a 1t did not have

cessful. Meredith Miller played a great

The postmaster desires to call at
tention to the practice of some pat
rons of rural delivery Of placing loose
coins in their boxes each time they
desire to dispatch letters instead of
supplying themselves with postage
in advance to their needs.
This practice imposes undue hard
ship on rural carriers in removing
loose coins from boxes and delays
them on the service of their routes.
The postmaster, therefore, urgently
requests that patrons of rural deliy-
cry provide themselves and keep on
hand a supply Of stamps consistent
with and in advance Of their needs.
1t is also very desirable that rural
patrons place In their mail boxes
small detachable cups Of wood or tin
in which to place coins, when neces-
sary, in purchasing supplies Of

DR.. MOultOn's Lecture on The Merchant
Of Venice" the Best Yet.

With every lecture from DR.. Moul-
ton the CONSCIOUSNESS that one is lis
tening to master, is deepened.
One may have read his plays, per-
haps studied them; but, with DR..
Moulton for a guide, he is led up to
where Shakespeare's whole plot is
spread before him like map, and he
is enthrallcd by beauties undreamed
of. In the lecture Thursday evening
on the Merchant of Venice, DIR.
Moukon brought out the fact that
Shakespeare combined the old Greek
drama with the romances of the
dark ages and showed how he wove
together two of these romances, as
the principal movement with two
minor stories, all gathered from diff
ferent sources into what the lecturer
called adramatic harmony. He showed
how by the authors consummate skill
in naturalization" the most inn
probable events were accounted for
so naturally that to the majority of
readers their improbability never
appears.
The lecture on Richard III illus
tfated what DR.. Moulton termed
Nemesis, or cause and effect in the
lninral world. the ana nr, Pnvs.Ao -
Juliet, pathos or suffering brought
upon the innocent by "accident;'
the lecture on Job brought out the
idea that what seems accident from
the earthly viewpoint is really a
divine plan for making possible the
loftiest development of character
while that on the Merchant of Venice
showed how the Fates seemed to be
playing shuttle cock with events
and where, by accident, deep patho,
was threatened by a turn of the
shuttle, when a counter accident
turned it back to Nemesis.
The attendance at these lectures
has steadily increased and the rapt
attention on the part of the major
ity shows that there are a good many
in Lexington who seta higher value
upon real education than upoa mere
entertainment.
