NEW YORK, Nov. Those loyal
" supporters of Princeton who
follow with keen interest the
progress Of the football team were
very much disappointed over the de-
feat by Dartmouth a week ago last
Saturday. While the team was being
defeated one could occasionally see
flashes of good plays and team work.
There was much in evidence which
gave the Princeton admirers some
hope Of a strong team. Dartmouth
took the winning ball home to Han
over with them and left Princeton
with the bitterness of defeat.
The team keenly realized that Dart
mouth had beaten them on their home
grounds, and every player rallied
around Baker, the great Princeton
captain, that night and resolved that
the Dartmouth defeat would moan a
victory over Harvard and Yale.
Every man was filled with determi-
nation to square himself and make
good for that defeat. Every practice
game at Osborne Field last week gave
evidence of the Princeton team get
ting together. Defeat is hard to bear,
but it has it's lesson.
When the Princeton team lined up
against Holy Gross on Saturday
every man was eager for the oppor-
tunity of showing what he could do.
There had been some changes made
by the coaches in the Princeton team
during the past week, and in the Holy
Cross game every player played we'll
Il still gave the Princeton admirers
excellent opportunity to see that there
vas some chance of a good, strong
eleven at Prinyeton this year. The
progress was notable, and the team
play had improved a great deal.
But the large score of the victory
over Holy Cross on Saturday was not
one that wculd allow Princeton men
or it's team to be carried away or to
make them very conceited.
Anyone who thinks that Princeton
has any idea that beating any team
Is cineh is very much mistaken.
Princeton started in yesterday to
work all the harder "to defeat Har-
ward on Saturday"
That is the slogan at Princeton all
this week. and the team will not lis
ten to anything but Victory!
Princeton always expects to win,
but II realizes that it has terribly
hard task. Princeton does not for
get the unsatisfactory game played by
It's team in the Stadium last year
Saturday is Princeton's chance-their
opportunity to even up matters.
have never seen the Princeton
eleven more Allied with the spirit I'VE
have got to win" than the team at
Princeton this year
Yale's defeat on Saturday is only
going to mean that she is going
through this week Just what Prince
ton passed through last week, While
defeat from Colgate is hard for
her to bear, it win be forgotten II
Yale wins from Harvard and Prince
ton.
One can rest assured that Yale is
moving coaches, old and young, back
to New Haven this week to get Its
machine in line for Princeton and
Harvard.
Who knows but what we are to
see at Princeton on Saturday the
oest game of the year2
have an idea that the Princeton
Harvard game this year wi be the
pest game Of the year; that is, of the
Yale, Harvard and Princeton series
It Is rather interesting to- note that
Princeton was beaten on Saturday
October 25; Yale was defeated on No
yember l, and 1t is somebody's turn
10 be defeated next.
Will that be Harvard next Satur-
day?
May be So / do not know.
Princeton realizes that there car
oe no let-up in the Harvard game
Harvard will f1nd the Princeton play
ers on their toes and ready to give
The battle OF their lives Princeton
VIII start off like a whirlwind, and
much may be expected of her.
The Tigers realize that they have
an equal chance and they are going
10 fight like demons to win. There
IS at Princeton no spirit of a sure
winner. II will be one grand strug-
gle, and on paper Harvard seems tc
De the favorite.
