WILL PRINCETON BEAT DARTMOUTH?'
Result Not So Sure-Teams Evenly Matched-Harvard Scrub Fools the 'varsity-Yale Shows Strong re- fense--Other Sports.

Princeton looks forward to a close match with Dartmouth next Saturday, the game being one of the features of the college football programme. but the | Tigers are hardly willing to admit that l they are in danger of being beaten. The strength of the Dartmouth eleven is realized, but the Tiger coaches feel that their men have struck their gait and will give the first real signs of their prowess in the coming game.
 As teams. Dartmouth has shown great defensive power, and this is just what Princeton has not displayed. No eleven has been able to worry Dart mouth very much yet, while in few games the Tigers have been forced to plug uphill to escape defeat. Prince ton is full of life and ginger, but there is just as much fight and courage in that Dartmouth bunch as there is on the Princeton team, and if the former goes down the margin of victory will be small Princeton is especially anx- ious to win not only in view of last years defeat by Dartmouth, but in or der to show the football world that it is still on deck and it not behind Yale. Princeton wants to trim Yale. but it knows that to do this it must polish Dartmouth. It realizes it's desperate situation. and will go into the Dart mouth game with great determination
 A close observer of the two teams who compares them man for man de- clares that Princeton has nothing on Dartmouth. It is stronger at center and one guard in the line but it is not as good as Dartmouth at tackles
 the other guard. and on the wings. In the backfield Dartmouths first set of backs is the equal, if not superior, to Princeton's first set. but in the case of the second set. of backs. the Tigers have the call. Bamman, In the mid dIe of the Princeton line, is more ex- perienced and aggressive than Need ham. The latter is a fighter, strong on the defense. but is poor passer and not as quick-witted as his opposite. Tobin, Dartmouth left guard, is supe- rior in skill and knoweldge of the game than either Buckingham or Waller, who will opose him. The shifting of Tobin back from tackle to his old place at guard has greatly helped the team and brings into play again Sherwin, hus- ky tackle, who will face Siegling. The Princeton tackle is clever, but he is not in SSherwin'S class. and McCrohan, at the other tackle. will find a job of it in trying to keep up his end with Lang.
 Princeton Center Trio Stronger.
 MeCrohan is playing tackle for his first season. and while he is strong and rangy he will meet a man in Lang with as much strength and more football brains Woeher. Princeton left guard looks better than Farnham, new man in the Dartmouth line. That Prince ton center trio. as a composite, looks better than the three men opposite. Daley and Bankart are most aggres- sive and speedy ends than Ballin and Welch on the Jersey wings. At quar- terback it is stand off. Bergen of Princeton is no star, and while he has been doing good work lately he dose not look as good as the rest of the team. Pishon has played poorly at quarter for Dartmouth this season. and Brady. his running mate, has shown lack of generalship qualities. It may be that Pishon will find himself as he did late last season, and as did Mill
