PRINCETON APPARENTLY IS STRONGEST OPPONENT

Defeated Dartmouth 30 to 7 Saturday.--Yale and Brown Both Beaten by Opponents.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Of the four remaining teams on the University eleven's schedule, the next two, Penn, State and Princeton, showed up strongest in Saturday's games. Each scored over its opponent a decisive victory, while Brown and Yale met defeat.

As was expected, Penn. State won an easy 28 to 0 victory over the weak eleven representing West Virginia Wesleyan. As a big surprise, however, came the complete rout of the Dartmouth team at the hands of Princeton, which would seem to be the strongest team on our schedule. The Tigers had no trouble rolling up 30 points against their visitors, while the scant consolation of Dartmouth's 7 points was made only when Coach Rush had sent in a substitute team. Princeton's stone-wall defense, the superior generalship of Captain Glick, the superior punting of Driggs, and the remarkable performance of Tibbott, were the factors which contributed most to the victory. Tibbott scored a touchdowns, and put up a great game at carrying the ball. Princeton played straight football, seemed to have much kept in reserve, and gave such a great all-around performance that Parke H. Davis, in writing for the New York Herald, declared the team to be the strongest the Tigers have had in many years.

In a game devoid of the spectacular, and characterized by hard, fast football, Brown went down to a 6 to 0 shut-out at the hands of Syracuse. The margin of superiority was a very small one, and in a large part of the contest Brown seemed to have the upper hand. Wilkinson, the brilliant halfback of the Orange eleven, was in a great measure responsible for his team's victory, for in the long series of rushes which resulted in the long score, he carried the ball on almost every play. In spite of their defeat, the Brown players showed great power, and it is doubtful whether the University can again afford to send in a substitute line-up against them.

For the second year in succession, Washington and Jefferson defeated Yale at New Haven, this time to the score of 16 to 7. In contrast to other Saturday games, the contest was marked by the use of the wide-open game, the visiting team completely baffling the Blue with a much-varied and bewildering aerial attack. Yale seemed utterly unable to cope with the Washington and Jefferson attack, and at the same time was unsuccessful in breaking up their opponent's defense. A recovered fumble by Scovill on Washington and Jefferson's 10-yard line was all that saved Yale from a shutout, and the poor showing made will undoubtedly mean a shake-up in the team.

Following are the scores of future opponents in the order of their appearance on the University's schedule:

Penn. State, 28; W. Va. Wesleyan, 0.

Princeton, 30; Dartmouth, 7.

Brown, 0; Syracuse, 6.

Yale, 7; W. and J., 16.
