Games on College Gridirons.

Saturdays biggest college game took
| place at Cambridge, where Harvard
rolled up "a points against Columbia,
which was unable to score. This is the
highest score the wearers of the GRIM
son have run up this year and
considering the fact that Columbia
is the strongest team played so
far, one is justified in saying
that the Harvard players are be-
ginning to come up bit and to round
into the splendid form they showed
during the seasons of 1898 and 1899.
| Despite the comparatively high score,
| however, the work done by the GRIM
son players was not entirely satisfac-
tory and the universal opinion of those
that know in the foot ball world is
that if either Yale or Pennsylvania
| had been played Saturday the Cam
| bridge team would have ANONYMOUSLY
gone down to the tune Of about IL to o.
However, the work showed marked
| Improvement. Ristine and Campbell
| at ends, showed magnificent form, and
Captain DAILY played beautiful game
at quarter back. Sawin showed up
| we'll at half back, and Ellis. at full
| back, bucked the line with the same
terrific force that last year earned him
his place on the team. Ellis also punt
ed very fairly, a department in which
last year he was of absolutely no SER
vice at all. The work of Columbia
was very disappointing.
The U. of P. met Brown at Phiadel-
phia, and in hard-fought contest de-
feated the boys from Providence by
score of II to 0. Half Back Potter
proved the Quaker hero, making sew
eral long runs, while big Wallace, the
blonde giant who plays tackle for the
varsity, also made great forty-yard
run. The Brown line proved surpris-
ingly strong and repeatedly resisted
the efforts of Wallace. McCracken and
Hare to break through. Little Graves,
the Pennsylvania quarter back, eX-
celled Bates, the Brown full back, in
punting, and in this branch of the
game the Philadelphia collegians lead
throughout the afternoon.
Yale had no difficulty in disposing
of Dartmouth, II to 0. on the latter's
grounds. The Yale line was practical
ly impregnable and Dartmouth could
not gain by either plunging or end
rushing. Hale, the Yale full back,
kicked poorly, but hit the line with
terrific force, taking the ball seven sue
cessive times for a net gain of twenty
yards. Captain Brown and Sharp like
wise did yeomanly work.
At Annapolis the naval cadets pre-
vented Princeton from scoring during
the first half. and it was only towards
the close of the game that the Tigers
secured the lonesome tally which gave
them the game, 5 to 0. Maths, the
Princeton full back, was obliged to
punt and the ball rolled behind the
cadets posts, where Roper, the fast
Princeton left end, dropped on it.
At Ithaca, Cornell downed the Wash
ington and Jefferson team, 16 to 5. The
red and whites work showed a great
Improvement. no trouble being expert
cnced in scoring the three touchdowns.
while the Washington and Jefferson's
score was made by goal frcm the
field from the twenty-yard line. Nor
rison did Cornell's best work.
Lafayette ran away with Swarth-
more at Easton, winning out by
score of "a to 2. Full Back Cure
dropped field goal from the forty
yard line by a place kick. John Hor-
an, of this city, played we'll throughout
the game at right tackle.
