NOTES FROM THE FRONT

lNO lEO TNOfu LIE FNOlNl
The Dartmouth varsity had it's last
hard day before the Princeton game
yesterday afternoon and evening, for
the play continued well after dark
with whitened ball in play. Today's
workout will be light terminating at
4:45, when the men will start for New
York. There will be practise in New
York, at some field as yet I'M
determined, tomorrow. That Dart
mouth will kick often was indicated
by the fact that the centres spent fif-
teen minutes passing through a hoop
suspended from the dummy frame at
the proper height, while Curtis,
Llewellyn and Tuck were booting the
leather back and forth on the grid
iron. Tuck got away with three out of
five attempts at field goals from the
forty-yard line and this kind of a
score for Dartmouth is not impos-
sible. There was a football mass
meeting last night at which the
coaches. members of the faculty and
of the team addressed the crowd. 1t
was announced that 500 men would
ieave by special train tomorrow.

duel yesterday, with honors about
even. The varsity scored two touch
downs against the scrubs.
With the exception of Shuler, all
of the Cornell varsity football squad
members are back in practise and
doing vigorous work in preparation
for the game with Pittsburgh on Sat-
urday. The men appeared to have re-
gained a good deal of their strength
yesterday. Carl Phillippi scored two
touchdowns single-handed by inter-
cepting forward passes. Barrett dis
tinguished himself for the scrub
eleven by making forty-yard run
Joe Duff, the former Princeton line
star, has given q powerful eleven to
the University of Pittsburgh. The

pointment of Tuesdays showing the
Amherst varsity overwhelmed the

men.
Wheeler, the latest Yale Star, is
very shifty runner in a broken
field His catching of punts is al
most flawless. Knowles is also loom
ing up on the Eli backfield. He Is
a very handy all-around man and
has shown recent ability as a kicker
that makes him a strong factor for
the Blue eleven.

cumbed to Hill School last week came
back strong yesterday and swamped
the Cornell Freshmen, 81 to 6.
