PRINCETON 22, DARTMOUTH 7

Baker's Sensational Run Was the Feature of the Game.--Teams, Evenly Matched.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Princeton defeated Dartmouth last Saturday by the score of 22 to 7. While Princeton undoubtedly showed greater all-around strength and skill in following the ball, the difference between the two teams was by no means as great as the final sore might indicate.

Up to the last quarter, Princeton led by only two points. In this period, however, the Dartmouth defence seemed to weaken and, as the result of a successful forward pass, combined with a five-yard gain through a penalty and a remarkable run the length of the field by Barker, Princeton scored two touchdowns. The run by baker was the sensation of the game. Receiving a, short low punt on his 10-yard line, the ran through the entire Dartmouth team, and crossed the line at the opposite corner of the field.

At the start of play it appeared as through Dartmouth was to have thing all its own way. After rushing the ball to the one-yard line, Llewellyn, at quarterback, made the first of Dartmouth's many costly fumbles, preventing a score until the next period. Princeton then rallied and with a combination of splendid and runs and deplanes through the heavy Dartmouth line scored a touchdown, but failed to even up the score by missing the attempt at a goal. Baker, however, made a beautiful kick from placement a moment later.

W. and J. Surprised Yale.

Yale restored almost entirely to straight football in the game with Washington and Jefferson. While several times within easy scoring distance from the field, no attempts at drop-kicking were made. Yale's inability to run up a larger score was due to a strong defence on the part of Washington and Jefferson, when the New haven team was within its 15-yard line. At other times, the end runs and line rushes of Flynn and Pimply were almost certain for long gains. Yale's score was the result of two touchdowns, while W. and J. secured three points from a long kick from placement. Wheeler at quarterback showed marked ability and appear a very likely choice for the position in the later games, as neither Cornell nor Cornish has handled the team to the satisfaction of the coaches. The problem of quarterbacks, however, is still unsettled in New Haven.
