TIGERS CRUSH THE
DARTMOUTH TEAM

on the 2S-yard line, which advanta-
geous position was gained on penalty
of fifteen yeards imposed because
Estep, or some other Dartmouth player,
tackled Baker as he was signalling for
fair catch.
All of this scoring came about In the
second period, and the third passed
with Dartmouth forcing the fighting
most of the time, but with neither
team being able to add to its total OF
points. Then came the fourth period
and victory for Princeton.
1t was almost perfect day for foot
ball. 1t was cool without being cold
and while the clouds hung low and
lowering for time, the sun peeped out
while the struggle was in prospect
The stands were not full, as will be the
case two weeks from to-day, when
Yale and Princeton do battle, but
good sized crowd was on hand to enjoy
game of football which, as said be-
fore, was keenly exciting and full OF
interest from end to end. The turf was
bit slippery and treacherous on ac-
count of the recent rain, but while II
, may have handicapped the runners 20
some extent it did not materially affect
the outcome.
Governor Woodrow Wilson sat on the
Dartmouth side of the field-not from
choice, perhaps. but because his ticket
called for a seat in the south stand
He was wildly cheered by both camps
as he entered the grounds, and one or
two, in their enthusiasm, shouted
Three cheers for the next President
of the United States!" He almost
smiled, and by the faint lines about his
face appeared to be highly pleased AT
the greeting.
To get back to the game, il must DE
told that the Princeton eleven showed
enough both extensively and defensive
ly to open the eyes of the many scouts
from Yale and Harvard who were on
hand to see what opposition could De
expected next Saturday at Cambridge
and the following Saturday In this
same college town. Most Of them went
away impressed with the fact that the
Tigers will give a good account Oh
themselves.
SOP Metzger will tell in this same
issue of The Tribune of the signs OF
strength and signs of weakness dis
played by both teams, and he also VIII
tell of the men who stood out indiVld-
ually, so that these important detiiliS
NAV be skipped here 1t is necessary
to bring out, however, that whereas
Princeton won by a score of - TO "
the summary of the plays shows thdt
Dartmouth did not suffer in COMPARE
son. except in the disposition to make
costly fumbles or earn damaging pen
alties at critical times.
Dartmouth gained PAP yards by
straight rushing from scrimmage Tor
nations for total Of thirteen first
downs, to 206 yards for Princeton ana
q total of nine first downs. Eliminate
ing Bakers run of ninety YARDS, there
was little or nothing to choose IN the
handling and running back OF puh's:
The Tigers made slightly better use OF
the forward pass, but the play really
counted against them, as on one occa-
sion Morey intercepted pass and car,
ried the ball thirty-five yards and well
into Princeton territory.
Dartmouth made eight fumbles TO
only three for Princeton, and some OF
these fumbes were Of the kind which
counted, while the loss OF ground
through penalties vas much the sane
although the Tigers were more care
ful to offend when least harm could
result.
Princeton won a clean-cut victory in
spite of the figures and in spite Of the
ifs" The punch was there when a
punch was needed, and HOBBY Baker
also was there.
