  To DARTM0UTH0N MUDDY FIELD LleweIlyn Scores Only Touchdown Of Game in Third Quarter. Whitney Stars. =. r.. n RINCETON, N. j., Oct. 25.- There were presented In the soggy little city this afternoon two notable aquatic events. One was boat race between Princeton and Yale and the other was the annual football game between Princeton and Dartmouth, which also took place on water. 1t was won by Dartmouth, a most uncommon proceeding, for as an amphibious institution. as an Ambitious institution. The final score, and we are speak ing OF football game, was 6 to 0. 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 paddles OF mud and water like infant buffalo in a favorite wal low, until certain Issues on which they had differed had been settled. Football on Sea Of Mud. Reader, If you have never seen a football game on a sea Of mud you have something left to see. rain that began driving across the Jersey lowlands to-day was q steady drizzle when the game began at 2 o’clock this afternoon, and it continued throughout the first half of the game, which saw the triumph Of Dartmouth over Princeton for the first time in some years. Speaking briefly Of the football game we shall begin 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.. Dartmouth Secures Ball. % functory exchange of punts up and down the dismal field without mate rial advantage to either side, although the Princetonians seemed to know the softest spots in the mud and fell thereon whenever possible. The ball became the temporary property of Dartmouth on Princeton’s 25-yard line, and Dartmouth then made first down at the 15-yard line and second down at the 6yard line. At least, that’s what man told us, though we would never have suspected 1t our selves. With the ball on the 5-yard line as stated. Mr.. Whitney, of Dart mouth, and one of the brightest stars of the afternoon as we’ll as one of the muddiest, piowed his way through the slush to approximately the 1-yard line. Llewellyn Makes Touchdown. Dartmouth delegated its young Mr.. Llewellyn to take the ball and dash around the Princeton left end. Young Mr.. Llewellyn tucked the ball against his ribs and galloped across the Princeton line, his cleats casting back clots of mud and quarts Of water. Hoggsett missed a 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 muddied up, too. Princeton should have scored several times, but the slippery ball would not stick to the claws of the Tiger, which is quite a -simile ono way and another. The lineup: Princeton. Dartmouth.

  Tigers DEFEATED BY DARTMOUTH Princeton Eleven Loses Contest Played in Sea of Mud. THE SCORE Is 6 TO 0 Llewellyn and Whitney Play Great Football for Big Green Aggregation. Princeton. N. J., Oct. S.-There were presented in this soggy. little city this afternoon two notable events. One was boat race between Princeton and Yale and the other was the annual football game between Princeton and DaItmouth. a most uncommon proceeding for Dart mouth. and rather meritorious withal, judging from the wild and jubilant shrieks of the Dartmouth students at this time. for Dartmouth is not generally regarded as an amphibious Institution. The final score-and We are speaking of the football game-was to o. This is intended to deal mainly with the strange struggle staged on the Prince ton gridiron when a large coterie of strong young men slashed around in puddles OF mud and water like infant buffalos in a favorite waIIow, until GER tain issues on which they had differed had been settled. Out on that mushy field trotted the opposing teams all spick and span, the young giants from the hills of New Hampshire wearing lively green sweat ers. while the boys from Old Nassau carried their usual sweater markings of sharply contrasting orange and black, but a moment after they had piled up in the opening smash they were as Shiny as so many eels. 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.

  EASTERN teams Have BAD DAY Big Elevens Make a Poor Showing Against Smaller Organizations. POOR FOR GOOD Yale, Princeton, Cornell and Others Receive Bad -Set-Backs. New York, Oct. 27.-Football play ed under the weather conditions that prevailed throughout the. eastern states Saturday is Of comparatively little value for purposes Of comparison when the leading universities I. elevens are under consideration. AL most without exception the games were played on ra~in-drenched grid irons. Was Bad Day. It was one of the worst days, from a favorable standpoint that has been encountered by the teams of this sec ton in years and upset the carefully planed gridiron campaigns Of more than one coach. Inversely those elevens that showed Glass A football under the handicap Of rain and mud demonstrated their right to honors which cannot be questoned. -. By all the rules of football. it was a day when weight should have count ed as the margin Of victory, but there were glazing exceptions. Dartmouth’s defeat Of Princeton by a 6 to 0 score was a striking example. Although a number of pounds lighter the Han over combination outplayed the Tiger team and the score fails to show the “ AS q A40AAAP6AAAA y eleven. Both extensively and defensively the green had the edge on the organ. and black and there is reason for believing that upon a dry field victory would have swung the other way. >. Yale is 0utplayed. On the theory that misery loves company, Princeton and Yale have a fraternal feeling today for the Ellis failed just as dismally to defeat Washington and Jefferson. The Blue was outplayed in offensive tackles AMI but for flashes of the strong defense, all season, would have been scored upon and probably defeated. AS 1t was, there was more honor for Wash ington and Jefferson in the n~o-score tie than for Yale. The result varied the belief that Yale has yet to develop ar attack that can win from her most formidable foe. In six games the Ellis, while not scored upon. have scored themselves but IS points In 326 minutes Of play. At the present time Yale AMI Prince ed, considered broadly. but neither is q finished nor exceptionally promising football eleven. Compared to Harward, which each will meet in the next few weeks. the Tigers and Ellis are apparently outclassed but both teams have shown remarkable i’m provement during the last two weeks Of previous seasons and their adherents have not abandoned hope. Harvard Did Well. Harvard’s victory over Pennsylvania state by 80 to %. was all that her supporters could desire. Owing to the mud and rain the fast visiting combination was handicapped and did not seriously threaten the Crimson goal. Had the field been dry it is pos sible that Pennsylvania State might have proved more formidable. Since
