Dartmouth Loses TWO Players.

Dartmouth lost two players from
the game. Louden twisted his leg in
the last period and was carried off
the field Murdoch was ruled off in
the second period when he was charg-
ed with pulling bit of rough work.
Under Curtis punts the Dartmouth
ends got down wonderfully fast, con
sidering the condition of the field and
kept HOBBY Baker well in check on
his returns in the early part of the
game Baker broke loose later, how
ever, for three returns of twenty yards.
Curtis got away with Dartmouth's
longest run when he dashed As yards

Princeton Weak at Kicking.

Princeton found her weakness in
the kicking department a big handicap
against Dartmouth Curtis ontkicked
Gle by ten yards or better on every
exchange and the play was kept in
Princeton's territory through most of
the game. Although Gutweigked ten
rounds to the man, Dartmouth carried
the fight to the Tigers from the jump.
The first period ended with the ball
on Princeton's eight yard line. The
Tiger line held when play was re-
sumed in the second period and Dart
mouth could not put the ball over.
Gle then punted out of danger.
Little was accomplished with for
ward passes during the game. With
their hands plastered with mud and
the ball slippery and soggy it was al.
most impossible for the men to handle
such plays. In desperate attempt
toward the close of the last period
HOBBY Baker tried repeated forward
passes but only one accomplished any
good. One shot to Gillespie netted
thirty yards. Baker was then thrown
for loss on second attempt. A
third Melted five yards, but it was not
enough to make the down and Dart
mouth took the ball on her own ter
yard line. In the fourth and second
periods Princeton had the ball or
nartmouth's ten yard line, but this
was the nearest they came to scoring
The threatened score In the SECOND
period came when the Princeton line
broke through and blocked one o
Curtis punts. After Baker had gain
cd two yards, STREET. fumbled and Dart
mouth kicked out of danger.

: PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 25.-The,
Princeton Tiger was given a large
sized black eye today in SO far as
championship ambitions are concern
ed. On a field that was better suit
ed for boat race between mud boats
than football game, Dartmouth took
the Tigers into camp to the tune Of
to 0. So far as real football was
concerned, the game may have indi-
Gated nothing more than that the
Dartmouth team is web-fotted and
possibly does its training In a tank,
but the Hanover boys were there with
a punch that Princeton lacked.
Whitney was mountain Of
strength on offense for Dartmouth. In
the third period he was called upon
twice after Dartmouth had taken pos
session of the ball on Princeton's 80
yard line, and ripped off ten yard
gain on each attempt. Curtis added
five yards more and then Whitney
was called upon again he put the ball
on the one yard line. Llewellyan had
taken Quarter Ghees' place in this per-
iod, and on the next play skirted
Princeton's end for the only touch
down of the game Curtis failed to
kick goal but the six points were
enough to win.

would have demanded recognition and
got it. So think what they did for
Lewis. They got him more publicity
than fell to any other member of con-

wore They protruded from beneath

ed the most resplendent of patent

played marvellous waistcoats, which
were decorated about the neck with
braiding of most delicate color, color
that blended in utmost harmony with
riotous Ascot four-in-hands that were
triumphants in themselves, and made
every man he knew wonder how he
tied them. All this was crowned by
|, silk hat which was never known to
show mark. Too, anyone would have
been safe in offering a reward any

he was bare of hand or without his

with Just the infection they used 70
give the name in Savannah. That
staid old city still got that little kin,i
in its voice when it said Jim Ham .
but dropped it suddenly one day when
Lewis reached town. The hotel man
for the Morning News saw his name
on the register of the leading hostelry,
saw Mr.. Lewis, pink-whiskered and
mauve-spatted sitting in the lobby
and got a story that won Savannah
And why wouldn't it? 1t was story
that Jim Ham" Lewis had come back
to town after all those years to pay
off his debts. He wanted any and
every man he had owed a nickle back
in the impecupious days to call at once
and get paid.
