Several of Princeton's strong players have lately been disabled, and the college is feeling much discouraged over the prospect of the championship games. Mowry, one of their new half-backs, who promised to do so well, has been ill for some time, and will not be able to play again this season.

The rushers, notably Cranston, are still careless about foul holding. The work of the backs was good; in spite of the slippery condition of the ball, they fumbled very little...
