Listlessness and overconndence on
the part OF the Maryland State College
team probably cost II the game with
Haverford. though why 1t should have
felt overconfident as to the probable
result nobody knows. It's showing SO
true. but not SO good as to cause the
players to presuppose that they could

Just as many thought it would do,
Dartmouth came back after its defeat
by Georgetown and gave Princeton the
hardest kind Of a game. During
