Those knowing ones who sat in

interference.
, Coach Roper's boys beat Dart
mouth, but the run of Hobo Ba-

the whole Green squad after Dart
mouth was beaten, was the only
real touchdown Penalties and
ouher misfortunes were principally
responsible. according to the Dart
mouth coach, for the three other
scores of the Tigers Princeton,
therefore, can not be Judged by the
score Of Dartmouth's defeat
Harvard's win over Brown was
directly the reverse. The Crimson
lost 1871 yards and was the offender
far oftener than Brown. Notwith-
standing the Providence boys were
tromced 80 TO 10, a bigger score
than Princeton could roll up on
Dartmouth 1t then remains for
Harvard to show up this typical
fluke OF providential football of the
Orange and Black and finally dis
pei the idea that there is any great
Tiger team this year. Take away
Baker, say Harvard men. and it
would have much the same effect
that the loss of Crowther would
make in the Brown team.

limping very badly, and appeared to
be in poor shape for the Virginia
game, and it is extremely doubt
full whether he will start.
Skies, the Commodores' star
full back, has been i'll with malaria
for over four weeks and has a
bad ankle to boot.
Buddy Morgan, the giant center,
was not used at all in the game
with Ole Miss. and it is doubtful if
he will be worked more than half
of tomorrow game He strained
a tendon in his back in the Rose
Poly game. and since that time
has been playing on nothing but
simon pure nerve. The other play
ers who are crippled are Shea, sub
full back; Covington, guard; Por-
ter, substitute guard; Robins, quar-
ter: Milholland, end and full back.
Dan McGugin has not vet decided
which of his three quarter backs
he will start against Virginia. Rob
bins is physically unfit, Curlin's
work in the Mississippi game was
away off color, and it would be
taking too long a chance to put him
in charge of the teams play. Up
to the playing of the game with
Mississippi Vanderbilt had not once
been held for downs, but in each
crisis Curlin's judgment was so
poor that the ball was lost to the
opponents three times on downs.
Boensch, another possibility, has
only been out for practice three
days. having been kept off the
team for scholarship reasons. He
is a wonderful punter, but is han
dicapped on account of lack Of eX-
perience, so that McGugin is fac
ing a most knotty problem in Sc
lecting a field general.
