NEW YORK, Nov. Those loyal
f supporters of Princeton who
follow with keen interest the
progress of the football team were
very much disappointed over the de-
feat by Dartmouth 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 nome to Han
eyer 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 mean 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

but it has it's lesson.
When the Princeton team lined up
sainst Holy Cross on Saturday
every man was eager for the Oppor-
unity of showing what he could do.
There mad been some changes made
by the coaches in the Princeton team
during the past week, and in the Holy
ross game every player played we'll

Was some chance of a good, strong
eleven at Prinveton this year. The
progress was notable, and the team

Anyone who thinks that Princeton

That is the slogan at Princeton all
mis- week, and the team will not lis

Princeton always expects to win,
but it realizes that it has a terribly
hard task Princeton does not for
