Dartmouth, after attempting every
thing she knew how, and with the
added advantage of having the best
punter by at least fifteen yards aver
age, had accomplished nothing also
and really looked like a beaten team.
So general was the opinion that
Princeton would win in the second
half that odds of 100 to 70 were offered
on her chances. Sport" Sullivan, of
| Boston,, who bets on all the big
sporting events. had a seat in the
Dartmouth stand. He told me in the
early stages of the game that he had
wagered $500 on Dartmouth at even
money and he seemed to like the out
look. After the first half Sullivan
said to me:
1T is all over. guess, Joe. I'll
bet $500 to $40 now on Princeton"
That was the trend of the opinion,
and the Dartmouth money was so
tight that the Princeton enthusiasts
could not lose their greenbacks.
C
With all due credit to Dartmouth,
ton. We are not so sure that the
Tigers displayed their full strength
on Saturday. 1t will take another
game against a formidable team to
prove where the Tigers belong. No
one could say with positive assur-
ance that the Dartmouth test was
sufficient. On a dry field the result
might have been the same, or even
worse. for the Hanover boys played
the better game and displayed su-
perior skill. But Princeton surely
didn't show a thing. and she can't be
really as bad as all that. No, we
must wait. even if the waiting proves
the case all the more.

Like Princeton, Yale had her
troubles. Better than Princeton,
though, the Ellis didn't suffer defeat.
They managed to hold the Washing
ton and Jefferson team to 90 score
and the luck of the game was nothing
against them at that. the reports say.
Yale, in that game, cannot be Sc
verely criticised, for Washington and
season that entities her to considera-
ton among the best in the big
Four" That she held Yale down is
not surprising, and doesn't mean that

Harvard, as usual, went along
swimmingly, trouncing Penn state
20 to 0. Her game was so soft that
she didn't have to put her best foot
forward, and her victory is nothing
much to talk about. Pennsy and Car
Isle drew at to Z and Cornell was
beaten by Pittsburgh, 20 to I.

In winning the American champion
ship race at the Velodrome yesterday,
Alfred Grenda did just what he said
he would do beforehand. In discussing
the race with me more than a week
ago, Grenda, while Aft Goullet was
present. said that he would win the
big race. Goullet thought he had a
good chance, but admitted ii would be
rather difficult to come back after a
pursuit race with Mcnamara and then
beat a fresh field in a twenty-five
mile event. So it proved Besides,
Goullet isn't in any shape at all and
the bad weather of the past week also
kept him back. AS it was, Goullet
showed great gameness in sticking to
the race after bad fall Goullet has
had only fair season, but next year
he promises to be back here and make
the "old champion" and the rest of
them hustle to keep pace with him.

Americans didn't fair very we'll in
the American championship. Only one
Yankee-Lloyd Thomas-was among
men over the line were foreigners
Two of the best American riders
Kramer and Fogler, were not in the
race, and Cavanagh, another likely
Yankee rider, got a spill Grenda is
in great form and has been riding
fine In his training. He was the best
man in the race, but his victory is
sure to be disparaged and the claim
made that Clark was abused An
evidence of this appears in the New
York Morning Sun, where claim is
made that Grenda, Hehir and Goullet
were teaming against Jackie
