PRINCETON FEARS
 DARTMOUTH GAME

Princeton, Oct. 25-John Rush took the Princeton football squad to the Palmer Memorial Stadium to practice yesterday afternoon and had the scrub eleven try out few of the Dartmouth formations against the varsity team. Notwithstanding Dartmouth fell prey to Georgetown last Saturday, Prince tonians are not confident of victory over the Green team next Saturday and are looking forward to their usual hard struggle with the Hanoverians. The. Tiger varsity machine was not in very smooth working order and the second eleven dashed trough the first line for frequent gains by means of Dartmouth formations.
 Latrobe has not returned to right tackle and from present indications it looks as if either Ha1sey or McGraw would be used in his placa in the line McGraw was at tackle for the varsity this afternoon, but Halsey played a strong game for the scrubs and the coaches will have to ponder a while before they decide which man is to start the game. McGraw has a good charge and is fast in covering kicks, but has trouble tackling. He is so tall that he experiences difficulty in grabbing the runner low. His tackling against Lafayette was ineffective.

frequently really brilliant ball player. An uncertain fielder and a weak batter at home, he made him. self known to the fanatics of every other city as a dangerous clouter and a fast and dependable fielder. No Boston. infielder played much better ball against the Yankees last season than Janvrin. Boston, however. can- not see him, and, moreover, doesn't want to see him.
 On the seasons records Janvrin is a faster. farther-ranging defensive player than the man for whom he had Been substituting, and there never was time when he could not out bat Black Jack. Yet, in spite of ev- erything. Boston still persists in re- garding him as a high school boy who has absolutely no right to be mingling with major 1eaguers,. and no amount of demonstrating will convince the Hubbites that they are in the wrong.
 Only among his ball playing asso- ciates is Janvrih appreciated at his true worth. His fellow athletes all re- gard him as one of the most valuable members of the Boston Club, sort of Artie Holman of the American League, lacking only the former Cub stars fleetness and cunning of being his equal. Janvrin is not a master strategist, nor is he a wonderfully clever baSe-runner. I

Boston Fans Cannot
 See Janvrin, Who Is
 Clubs Only Home Boy

The strongest thing, in baseball in Boston, writes Harry Schumacher in the New York mail, is the public att titude of Boston toward Harold Jan vrin, in many ways the best utility player in the big leagues. Boston fandom has been pulling for him to blow up and drop out of sight.
 No one realized more keenly than the average Red Sox fan that the success or failure of the Boston cause was largely dependent upon the form displayed by Janvrin. in his attempt to understudy the crafty Barry, yet the prejudice that was founded years ago in a mistaken notion of the young mans character still persists. Noth- ing that Janvrin can do is ever right in the eyes of the Boston fantic, and though he fields like, a Collins and hits like Speaker he can not hope to reconcile the populace to his pres ence in the batting order.
 And for no other reason; than that Boston took a dislike to him the first day he appeared in a Red Sox uniform and has never outkrown it. A con fident, aggressive sort of a young ster when the Red Sox found him playing with high school team some years dSO, Ilo gave lIlc lStilS tu0 WIOlly erroneous impression that he was af- f1icted With a head several times too large for his .cap-und they took to riding him.
 Errors that any other infie1der could have perpetrated with impunity brought down upon his young head the soundest abuse. Every failure to deliver a hit in a pinch was used as an excuse to prong him with stinging criticism.
 Whatever he did was wrong, and there was no peace for him anywhere or any time except when his club was on the road. Sensitive to a degree, he felt the undeserved banning to which he was daily subjected here about and his playing did fall off.
 But only in Boston. Away from the home crowd and playing before people who regarded him only as a member of the Red Sox entourage, he has ever been a consistently good and very
