GREAT VICTORY

PRINCETON, \. j., Oct. ee.--
Princetonians may seem hard to
please. but the fact remains that the
81 to 0 walk-away with Syracuse on
Saturday was not entirely satisfac-
tory. To be sure. there was an un-
deniable increase in team work on
both the offense and defense. but IL
cannot yet be said that the Tigers
have had real test. and they have to
face Dartmouth next Saturday with
out full realization of what weak
nessss a strong opponent could bring
out. The coaches say the team does
not show any consistent unity, and a
stronger opponent could not fall to
take advantage of any momentary
slump.
