TEAM READY FOR LAST GAME

The week following the Michigan game marked the return of many of the University's regulars who had been out on account of injuries, and the coaches, able for the first time in weeks to work with the majority of the regulars, began the final perfecting of the offence and defence, the development of which had been retarded to such an extent because of the injuries. The Michigan contest made it evident that the line must be bolstered up before the final games with Princeton and Yale. With Pennock once more in action the forward defence was considerably strengthened, and with the men in the backfield working in machine-like form the University met and defeated Princeton in the Stadium by the score of 20 to 0. The playing of the University team was excellent. The superiority of the University backfield was conspicuously marked, the attack gaining 285 yards in 83 rushes to the 35 yards that 21 attempts netted the opponents. Mahan proved his versatility by kicking two field-goals and showing his usual brilliancy in open-field running. Logan ran the team exceptionally well, and the forward defence had stiffened perceptibly, throwing off the attempts of the Princeton attack with apparent ease.

Substitutes Oppose Brown.

Afraid of new injuries to the University team, Coach Haughton sent an entirely second string eleven on the field to contest with Brown. Friction in the mechanism of the attack used by the University substitutes deprived the team of the greater part of its efficiency, and a deplorable mediocrity in the drop-kicking department spoiled whatever chances the second string men had to score. Brown played a conservative and dogged game, holding the University to a 0 to 0 tie score, because of the perseverance of their defence and the brilliant playing of Gordon and Clark in the backfield. The game was valuable from the University's standpoint in that it showed exactly the strength of the men on whom the University must rely, should injuries necessitate the withdrawal of the regulars in Saturday's game, and the fact that no further injuries occurred to any of the first string men.

The past week has been spent in giving the individual men final instructions in playing their positions, and in polishing off every department of the team. The men are in excellent condition, and despite the handicap with which the numerous injuries has burdened the eleven, it is believed that the team has, considering all circumstances, reached the limit of its ability and will demonstrate its true worth in Saturday's game.
