Princeton may be only an ordinary
football team and she may be beaten
galley west by both Yale and Har-
ward, but no matter what she shows
in the future she shouldn't be judged
by her playing in the game against
Dartmouth. The argument that it is
as fair for one as it is for the other,
when a muddy field is the question in
point, is all we'll and true, but Prince
ton. Notwithstanding experts to the
contrary, didn't make a determined,
aggressive effort until the last few
minutes of play when she fooled away
considerable time in taking the only
chance she possibly had in working
the forward pass. The Tigers SEEM
ed rather "dopey" to me throughout
the contest. They held Dartmouth
twice when danger was in sight, but
they didn't display the first semblance
of aggressiveness. When the team
moved it moved slowly and there
didn't seem to be much Give wire"
activity in evidence anywhere. HOBBY
Baker had a bad day as we'll as the
rest, and while giving Dartmouth all
the credit in the world for her vic
tory. We'll have to see Princeton again
before We'll believe she is not better
than she proved to be on Saturday.

In the discussion of the Dartmouth
Princeton football contest, the victory
ing race last Saturday was more or
less overlooked. The race in itself
was a procession and was won so
easily that the Ellis must almost feel
it was said that Yale couldn't lose,
and from DIR. Spaeth, the Princeton
coach, came the advice that Yale
would win. Yet the Tigers, rowing
more like professionals than rather
new college amateurs, showed both
form and class In their efforts. The
boys in the boat pulled beautiful
stroke. They took the water sharply
and they finished the stroke with
just sufficient effort to keep the boat
moving, yet not to be too tiresome.
They were steady too, and their boat
came down Lake Carnegie as straight
as an arrow. Yale is still clinging to
that English stroke. which, on the
face of it, is a mistake. The men in
the Eli boat "feathered' their oars
too deliberately and their boat
stopped" at every stroke. The sys-
TEN at Yale will never do. Her
men were all right and they
finished strong, but they could not
pull that kind of a stroke and hope to
beat the Tigers. who displayed a snap
and activity in their Craftsmanship
that was truly professional. DR..
Spaeth's apprehension may have been
well meant, but it is difficult to see
how such an able coach could be so
far out of the way in his own men.

Princeton has a crew she may well
be proud of and she is sure TO show her
class in the various races next year.
The men who rowed against Yale are
mostly new in the boat, but they are
certainly apt oarsmen, judging by
the way they handled their boat on
Saturday. Yale, supposed to be in
the best possible form and with
well-seasoned crew in her boat, was
nowhere when it came to racing.
@
Two Newark boys were in the
Princeton boat and they rowed well
throughout the race and finished
strong. Ripley Quinby and Raymond
Purdy. the Newarkers who made the
crew, rowed Nos. and 6, respectively
These young men, who are tall and
sturdy, will be in the boat again
next year and great promise is in
store for the Tigers on the water.
