GOSSIP OF THE SIDE LINES


vas bound to be a great deal OF the
unsatisfactory in the playing OF the
games. The unsatisfactory feature OF
Saturdays games rather has to do
with deciding just how good test
the games were of the normal
strength of the contending teams. NO
doubt the losers and those who other
wise failed to come up to expecta-
lions would like to play the games
over again on fields which were not
bound, as Saturdays were. to bring
about a lot of poor playing. How
ever. the weather doesn't stand aside
for football, and, again, the disap-
pointed ones had as good a chance to
show what they could do as oppon-
ents.
The showing OF the Dickinson
eleven in its game against Franklin
and Marshall Saturday was crafty
ing to the football authorities at
Dickinson College. and despite the de-
feat by small margin, the hopes OF
the red and white collegians are IN
the ascendency over the prospects of
the contest with Gettysburg here
next Saturday.
A Jersey of one Of the Princeton
PLAYERS was weighed at the end OF
the first half Of Saturdays game and
it tipped the scales at seven pounds,
while a whole suit was estimated by
Fitzpatrick to weigh between twenty
and twenty-five pounds. Click tore
off his stockings at his shoe tops in
the last quarter and played bare
legged. feeling much lighter, he
said.
"AII glory and honor to Dartmouth
for a we'll deseryed victory" Is the
only sentiment in the aftermath OF
Princeton's defeat Saturday at the
hands of the Green team. Both An
drews. the Tigers head field coach,
and Keene Fitzpatrick. their trainer,
made ii practically plain that they
would countenance no excuses as
coming from them. for they both en-
phasized the feeling that Dartmouth
had won only what they had earned.
Glenn Warner announced last night
II WAS DIdCkllB lllC 4Adidit
right halfback, and not Guyon, left
halfback. who scored the touchdown
against the University of Pennsylya-
MIA eleven in their annual football
game on Saturday.
II develops that Driscon, right
guard on the Williams eleven, was
badly injured in the game with New
York University Saturday. He is
now in the college infirmary laid up
with a wrenched hip which he sus-
tanned in a scrimmage toward the
end of the third period.
Navy's football team overwhelmed
the Maryland Agricultural College
eleven Saturday by the score of rs TO
0. Relying almost entirely upon their
greater weight, the advantage of
which was increased by the muddy
field and slippery ball. the midship-
men stuck for the most part TO crush
ing line plunes. After boring through
the light forwards of their opponents
the big Navy backs tore off many
long runs.
Cornell lost 10 Pittsburgh, 20-7, after
being in the lead in the first half.
the Carlisle game the Indians scored
first and after that the Cornell eleven
completely outplayed their opponents.
There were two safeties scored in
Eastern games yesterday. The Army
defeated Tufts by forcing the visitors
back over their own goal line and
Vanderbilt made two points against
Michigan.
There have been few games in the
history of football won by a safety.
Not since the Carlisle-California game
at Berkeley has a big eleven led by
scoring only a safety. Princeton won
from Cornell in 1901 by a margin of
two points, but before the safety was
made the score stood to 6.
The Michigan Aggies are showing
up in great shape. Last week they
defeated the Ann Arbor eleven and
Yesterday came out ahead in the game
with wisconsin. If the Aggies KEEP
going they will be in line for the
Western championship.
Two of the colleges which had not
been scored on. Yale and washington
and Jefferson, kept their records clean
yesterday by playing scoreless tie.
Fullback Minds. of the Penn team
is clever at forward passing, throw
ing as he would a baseball, and very
accurately for a distance varying
from twenty to forty yards.
When Harvard meets Princeton on
the Tigers field next month there will
probably be morning attraction fur
nished by the Crimson and Tiger
freshmen teams.
Coach Ready Will drive the Lehigh
team hard this week In preparation
for the game with the Navy at An
napolis next Saturday.
