BAKER SHINES
In TIGERS WIN
OYER DARTMOUTH
Young Half Back Proves to Be Real
Find-Makes Several
Dashing Runs.
FINAL SCORE IS % TO 2

Princeton. Oct. es.-Au through the
story Of Princeton's sweeping victory
over Dartmouth this afternoon you
will find running in a steady thread of
achievement the name of Hobey Ba-
ker, lusty lad who plays behind the
Tiger line. and who rose to football
fame to-day on an 1s-yard race to q
touchdown against the White Noun
tain boys.
II was not a run that decided the
issue between the Tigers and the New
Hampshire squad. because Old Nassau
already had the Hanoverians defeated
but 1t was the most spectacular fea-
ture of a game marked by the slips
of bungling fingers. and 1t followed a
long series of slashing plays by the
young back. The final score was %
to Z.
In the final period Baker picked a
Dartmouth punt out Of the air on
Princetons 20-yard line and fed the
length of the field. shaking of the
eager hands of the Dartmouth tack
lers and pulling up only when he
planted the ball behind the Green
teams goal.
Baker = Star.
Baker disdains the leather turban
worn py the other players and his
shock of blond hair was ever bobbing
above and along the fighting line all
afternoon. Following Bakers run. a
goal kicked by Pendleton rolled the
Tiger score up to % and Dartmouth
had to be content with a single touch
down and goal 1t was Bakers boot
that put the Tigers back in the game
after the New Hampshire boys had
taken the lead over Princeton, and II
was Baker, Dewitt, and Pendleton
who contributed most of the Prince
ton victory. Dewitt was the real
mafnstay of the Tigers most OF the
afternoon. and while he did not fig
ure In any such slashing spectacular
play as the blond-haired Baker, his
steady. Irresistible hammerinE at the
Green line carried the Tigers along.
Fumbles were responsible for most
or the scoring. The Dartmouth team
lost at least one apparently certain
chance to score because of a tumble.
and later more bunglesome handling
OF the ball contributed to the down.
fall or the Green team.
And yet II was a great game to
watch, with the element of chance en-
tering into 1t every minute of play,
and the best team undoubtedly won.

WASHINGTON TEAM
Brooklanders Show Reversal OF
Form and Are Whipped by
Chestertown Outfit.
CAPT. BLEwETT Is INJURED

Catholic University showed a complete
reversal of form and lost yesterday to
Washington College, to 2
During most Of the game the ball was
in the Brooklanders' possession and most
OF this time In Washington Colleges ter
ritory. Time and again the C. L. backs
carried the ball down the field for long
gains. only to lose II on a tumble.
Three times Catholic University car
ried the ball all the way down the field
to within 10 yards OF the goal line. but
could not get 1t an inch further.
The last time they tried a forward
pass on Washington Colleges 15.yard
line. Meekins intercepted 1t and was
thrown over the line for safety. At
times the Red and Black backs would
tear of long gains through the line and
around the end. but again. with poor In
reference. they would be thrown for big
losses.
Washington College played a much
more consistent game than did the
Bropkiands. The work Of Meekins and
Brown. in the back field Of the Mary
land eleven. was especially deserving Of
mention. While they did not try the
forward pass as often as Catholic Uni
versity. they were more successful in
their attempts. Their touchdown came
as a direct result OF a forward pass on
Catholic University's b-yard line. A
pretty toss of the ball from Meekins to
Lewis ON a shoe string formation did
the trick.
Butler. Blewett. and Croarkin did the
best work for Catholic University. In
the first part OF the second half Capt.
Blewett sprained a tendon in his leg
and was forced to retire. This consid-
erably weakened the Red and Black.
Both Butler and Croarkin were also in
tured. but were able to remain in the
game. Lineup and summary:

PENN DEFEATED
BY LAFAYETTE
Esstonian Eleven Proves Stronger
and Takes Hard-fought Game
by z to 8 Score.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2s.-Lafayette took a
weIl-deserved but hard-fought victory
over the University Of Pennsylvania this
afternoon by the score Of to 8. There
was no question as to Lafayette's su-
periority. for the Eastonians made
yards to every l for the Quakers.
Lafayette had a splendid forward pass.
which the two Diamond brothers. one q
quarter back and the other an end
worked repeatedly and for big gains.
Compared to the varied attack Of La
fayette, the Penn team offered q mo-
notonous ofense. Three times Penn had
the ball within striking distance of La
fayette's goal, but every time the Wis
itors took 1t away on downs. The stand
which Lafayette made inside her 5-yard
limo in the last quarter was one Of the
finest things ever seen on Franklin
Field.
Four times the Quakers assaulted the
Lafayette line One yard at a time was
all Penn could get, and when the players
were pulled apart the ball was one foot
from the goal line.
Again. in the last period. when Hen
messy dropped a punt on a free catch.
Greene had a clean field for Q touch
down, but he lacked the speed and was
10 yards short of a score when he was
brought down.

ROCK CHECKS
 PROGRESS ON DEWEY ST. SEWER

'. Contractors at work. on, the Dewey street extension of the West End trunk line sewer struck a sizable ledge about 100 feet south of Han- cock avenue, yesterday afternoon, and the, progress will be further retarded for there are indications that the rock extends as far north as Poplar street. Thus far 76O feet of 30 inch pipe have been laid. in Dewey street and the Brooklawn avenue section has been laid for. TIT feet.
 In the Dewey street section the ,workmen came upon the rock late yesterday. There is something like a four foot cut, II feet below the sur face and as the work advances the rock rises nearer the surface. People who have been familiar with the land in that neighborhood for many years are sure the ledge is a large one. This being true the contractors will be able to lay less than 20 feet a day, whereas they have been making 25 and 30 feet. The pipe has to be laid 181x feet below the surface to reach the flow line.
 The large excavator formerly used has been replaced by crane machine which hoists buckets from the ditch. The crane lifts four or five buckets at the same time, lowers the same number, and the shovel men can work continuously
