Even money was brought down from New England 20 be covered as fast as it appeared The recent rains have left University field in a slow and soggy conditon. thereby boosting Dartmouth stocks several points. Hogsett, the Green’s left half. runs close to the ground and is an expert at keeping his feet The wet field should not hinder him as much as Princetons speedy back field. Princeton faces the first real test Of the season today. The team has proven q great scoring machine against elev- ! ems which must be admitted to be Of ! inferior ability. But the varsity faces an experienced eleven today, which outweighs it twelve points to the man from end to end Dartmoutb’s style OF play resembles ! that which is being used at both Yale and Harvard and Princeton’s hope Of success in games with Eli and Harward viii depend almost entirely on its ability to diagnose the GREEN’S attack and overcome their defense.
