Only two of the big eastern foot ball

Lafayette was unable to preyeni Null

Carlisle, washington and Jefferson.
the University OF Pennsylvania and
Princeton were held to close scores.

was looked for. The Quakers barely

Princeton had something of a battle
in its meeting with the Georgetown
team. taking advantage OF several OF
the fumbles the southern institution
made to score its first touchdown. The
Indians were played to a standstill by
Lebanon Valley, neither team counting.
Lehigh won from Ursinus by good

The showing made by Georgetown
Yesterday against Princeton was all
that should have been expected. though
it does seem that the early periods of
the contest found Princeton taking
of mistakes made by the
Blue and Gray. Georgetown, strange
to say, seems again in fair way to
lose some of it's contests because of
fumbles and failure to do a standard
work in the Eudiments. The Hilltop
pers have bssn drilled and are being 4
