DARTMOUTH HERE TODAY.

Dartmouth comes to the Stadium today full of confidence and determined to win. As this is the final game of the season for the Green, every energy has been utilized to build up a fast and aggressive team. The contest with Princeton, which resulted in such a wide margin of victory for that team, served to bring out the weak points in the Dartmouth eleven and to rouse coaches and players to great efforts to remedy them. Since the Princeton game, then, all plans have been laid and carried out with a view to winning from Harvard. This being the final game, the Dartmouth eleven will put forth every effort and use every style of play it has mastered in order to gain the victory. It is by no means the same team that met defeat at the hands of Princeton. Changes have been made which have strengthened the playing combination, and today the Dartmouth team is a powerful, aggressive, and fast machine, capable of varying its attack and sure to profit by any mistakes of its opponents.

With the Harvard team, conditions are very different. Today's game is very important, but not the final contest of the season. For this reason, every energy cannot be exhausted in order to win. Plays that have been perfected in secret practice are reserved until the final game. Thus a team which must hold itself in reserve meets a strong eleven that will use every resource to win. However, we have great confidence in the ability and strength of our team and feel sure it will play brilliantly and with that fighting spirit that generally brings victory. We congratulate the Dartmouth men on the splendid eleven they are bringing to face us, and our welcome to that eleven and its supporters is but the heartier for the doubt in which the outcome of the contest remains.
