their annual football battle at the Polo
Grounds yesterday. Twelve thousand per-
sons crowded the stands along the side
lines, and, judging BY the noise and en-
thusiasm, revealed in the keen. exciting
struggle which ended in victory for Prince
ton, but the outcome of which was in
doubt almost 10 the last three plays.
Many left the grounds convinced that the
Tigers were lucky TO get revenge for the
defeat Of 1905 and the tie score of last year
by winning such a close, hard fought strug
gle. and as matter Of fact the men from
Hanover threatened constant danger and
lost a touchdown by a costly tumble at
the opening OF the fourth period, but what
luck Princeton had lay in the possession Of
such fast. brainy brilliant back as Pen
oleton. the nineteen-year-old sophomore.
In a sense Il was a one man victory.
Except for Pendleton's dashing run al
most tie full length OF the field after
catching enc OF Ingersoll's twisting punts
the score would have ended TO O. Indi-
vidUally and collectively the two elevens
were remarkably well matched, and while
Princeton gained more ground by rushing,
Dartmouth gained more ground in a run
ming back Of punIs. and whereas Princeton
once threatened 20 score outside of Pendle-
son's long run Dartmouth threatened five
times Il was good game for Princeton TO
win. II was mighty hard game for Dart

Without detracting in the least from the
credit due the Princeton team as q team

dergraduates have every reason 10 hope for

mouth end had intercepted a forward pass
and was speeding to the goal line with a
clear fed. Further than that Pendleton
was the backbone Of the Princeton attack
and about the only man who could gain
consistently while he made three or four
long lodging runs, just TO show that his
dash for a touchdown was not a lucky
chance
Yet with all this Princeton man al the
elbow OF the wrlrer remarked once or twice,
'Pendleton is not in his best form to-day,
as he is suffering from a bruised knee"
As matter Of fact Pendleton was limping
between plays toward the end OF the game,

he was called on 10 run with the balls as
was the case time after time. 1t looked TO

coach. We're taking desperate chances to

two weeks away.
Big Crowd Enjoys the Game.
New York City is not football mad, OF
else the attraction Of the HarvarG-Arny
game at West Point was too strong. The
crowd WAS a big one. and as usual at col
leEe gatherings, a most enthusiastic one,
but il was far from impressive in size, more

Giants and the Yankees in the post-season
baseball series. There were yawning gaps

though few seats Were vacant along the
side lines.
The Dartmouth men came down from
Hanover fully SIX hundred strong, and they
\ brought a brass band and well trained
Nj tlToats. They cheere6 and sang almost
continuously and made far more noise than
the UNDERGRADUATES from Princeton across
the field. although the latter made them
selves heard in 10 uncertain way when
Pendleton went dashing down the field fol
his touchdown. The Dartmouth men were
good losers. too. With the game over and
pockets feeling rather empty. they stood II
their places. and after cheering each man
