EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - To tell the all absorbing thought in the mind of the Princeton undergraduate at present, suffice it to say that last Saturday afternoon saw their foot-ball teams leave on one train to play in divers places. Three victories were scored: the 'varsity beat University of Pennsylvania, 59 to 9, the sophomores made 15 points to Chester's 0, and the freshmen won from the Lafayette freshmen by 18 to 0. The 'varsity has played four games and in no two of them have the same team played. The second Stevens game was especially disastrous, both end-rushers and the captain being compelled to withgo practice for over a week. Last Saturday's game was almost as fruitful in disasters. The team has improved slightly in one or two points, but in the general work, and especially the carrying of the ball, great looseness is daily shown.

Lacrosse is booming in its quiet way The twelve go to Baltimore next Saturday to play the Druids. The team has been strengthened by the addition of the two Hodges who have entered the Seminary.

The cane-spree, an institution peculiarly Princeton's own, is a thing of the past and the verdant freshman now rejoiceth much. Special regulations were adopted this year to the effect that no foot-ball men should be allowed to spree. The freshmen, by superior coaching, took the first two canes, the light-weight and the middle-weight. The struggle for the heavy-weight cane was a stubborn contest; after working hard for one hour and forty minutes, neither man was able to wrest it from his opponent and the cane was divided, the freshmen thus getting 2 1-2 canes and the sophomores only 1-2 a cane.

The trouble relative to gymnasium restrictions has been quieted by the faculty, justly granting the opening of the gymnasium three nights in the week to upperclassmen only and one night to all.

The Chapel stage speaking of the seniors began last Saturday. The orations all displayed credit on the performers, but the usual amount of indifference was shown by the absence of the underclassmen.

Theatricals are all the rage in Princeton this season. The Dramatic Association is hard at work rehearsing Garrick's "Country Girl," and if last year's successes can be taken as a criterion, we predict a treat for all. The club has excellent material and seems endowed with an unusual amount of perseverance and enthusiasm.

Several of the 'elite' of the town, assisted by a number of upperclassmen, are absorbed in parlor theatricals. The performance will come off the night prededing the Harvard-Princeton game and will be followed by a dress ball.

With the best wishes for your coming celebration, and hoping that Dr. McCosh will do Princeton honor in presenting the compliment of a younger sister to "Fair Harvard," we are,

PRINCETONIAN.
