common proceeding for Dartmouth, and
rather meritorious withaL judging
from the wild and jubilant shrieks of
tho Dartmouth students at this time,
for Dartmouth Is not generally re-
garded az en- arnphibious Institution.
The final score. and we are speaking
of tho football game, was to Q.
This is intended to deal mainly with
the strange struggle staged on the
Princeton Gridiron, when a large CO.
terie Of strong young men slashed
around IN puddles az mud and water
like infant buffalo In favorite wal
low. until certain issues on which they
had differed had been settled.
Reader, If you have never seen
football game on sea of mud" you
have something left to sea.
rain that began driving across the
jersey lowlands to-day was n steady
drizzle when the game began at 2
o'clock this afternoon. and 1t continued
throughout the first half of the game,
which saw the triumph of Dartmouth
over Princeton for the first time In
somo years.
Shiny Az Ecls.
Out on that mushy field trotted the
nt
young giants from the hills OF New
Hampshire wearing lively green sweat
crs. while the boys from Old Nassau
carried their usual sweater markings
OF sharply contrasting orange and
black, but moment after they had
piled up In the opening smash. they
were as Shiny as SO many cells.
Another moment and their features
had been obliterated by mud. Occa-
sionally torn Jersey showed n brief
strip Of white ncshing underneath to
prove that the muck had not seepcd
into the wearer's soul. but from head
to foot the boys were coated with a
black plaster. When man hit the
ground under the impetus of flying
tackle. he skidded for yards. The ball
squirted from the fingers of the play
ers in the most disconcerting fashion.
Crowell tho umpire, came on the
field wearing pair of knickerbockers
and a nice white shirt. He was fol-
lowed by Snow, the referee, arrayed in
knickerbockers and n lavender shirt.
Whenever q young gentleman engaged
in undertaking came up for aid he
would find Mr.. Crowell or Mr.. Snow
conveniently near or would use the
shirts to wipe their muddy hands on.
Soon they had both AiessrS. Crowell and
Snow ready for the laundry, and then
the footballers resorted to towelling
their hands on the official trouserings,
much to the annoyance OF the wearer-
Only two classes of people attended
this game to- day-newspaper men and
football bugs The former went be-
cause they had to, and the latter be-
cause they could not help 1t. There
was profuse attendance from Dart
mouth. while q large concourse OF
Princetonians dropped in their GUS
tomary stand.
Women Are Absent.

ent. mighty few indeed Here and
there a bonnet with dropping and sad
ly depressed trimming could be seen
in the crowd. but the feminine attend
ance to-day was probably smaller than
1t had been ut any big football games
in recent years.
OF the football game we shall now
speak briefly, beginning with that
point in the third period. when young
Mr.. Beers, of Hanover. n. H. blocked
a kick propelled from the muddy toe
of Mr.. Giles, of Princeton, N. j.
This incident arose after per-
functory exchange OF punts up and
down the dismal field, without ma
terial advantage to either side, al
though tho Princeton's seemed to
know the softest spots in the mud and
fell thereon whenever possible. The
ball became the temporary property of
Dartmouth on Princetons twenty-five
yard line, and Dartmouth then made
first down Mt the ffteen-yard line, and
second down at the fiye-yard line. At
least, that's what n man told us,
though we would never have suspected
1t ourselves. With the ball on the
hye-yard limo, as stated, Mr.. whitney,
of Dartmouth. and one OF the bright
est stars of the afternoon, as we'll as
one of the muddiest, plowed his way.
through tho slush to approximately the
one-yard line.
Dartmouth delegated its young Mr..
around the Princeton left end. Young
Mr.. Llewellyn tucked the ball against
his ribs and galloped across the Prince
ton line, his cleats casting back clots
OF mud and quartso Of water.
Misses Try for Goal.
Hogsett missed try for goal. and
that's about all there was to the
game, except that the boys changed
clothes between halves, and got their
other suits all muddled up, ,too Prince
ton should have scored several times,
but the slippery ball would not stick
to the claws of the tiger. which IS
quito n similc one way and another.
In the fourth period, CHESS punt
was fumhled by Ghee, and Longstreth
recovered 1t on Dartmouth's twenty
yard line. Then Princeton wallowed
through to DartmoutIs ten-ynrd line,
but just then Emmons fumbled. aud
Curtis snatched tho ball up as 1t was
about to drift away on tho water, and
galloped forty yards down the field
toward tho Princeton goal. En- route,
Curtis seemed to become deeply In
terested In tho transactions OF
