It is placing a pre- mium on individual brilliance against team play. “From the viewpolnt of the on- said Bezdek in speaking of {the tee , “there will be little differ- ence made by taking away of the tee, A little more uncertainty is added by the absence of a tee, but drop-kicks will not be affected and placement goals stlil will be made from as great distances as eve April 3.-gAbol- | DARTMOUTH NINE BEATEN Macon, Ga., April 3.—After play- ing brilliant ball in the epening game here, Dartmouth went to pleces yes. terday afternoon and lost to Mercer | University, 14 to 6, The first inning consumed fifty | minutes, Dartmouth gathered two |runs on two bases on halls, three I stolen bases, a wild piteh and hits by | Dagostine and Austin, Mercer came | back with six tallies in the same in- |ning on four errors, a hit batsman, a | base on balls and three hits in a row.
