ON THE GRIDlRON.
THE AMHERST VICTORY
Other Defeats of Big Eleuens by
the Lesser Nan Come

one week ago the writer of tb;s col,r,,
called attention to the fact that never before
in the history of football were the science and
skill of the game so widely distributed and ex
pressed the opinion that in all probability some
of the big teams would this season he defeated
by elevens which they had been accustomed n
regard merely good practice" but quite in
considerable as rivals. This prediction was
promptly and strikingly borne out bv the feat
of the Amherst team which on Saturday suc-
ceeded in getting across Harvard's goal line
at the same time shutting out the CAMBRIDGE
players without single touchdown The news
from Cambridge is that the Harvard nlavers
and undergraduates were deeply Inundated nv
this defeat. and this is not at all surprising
since it was inflicted by team not even ranked
well UP among the elevens which NAV be de-
scribed as composing the second division or
class b.

not win from West Point or PENNSYLVANIA.
and if she were to meet the Indians or Dart
mouth the odds would be decidedly against
her. But the fact is that none of the Big
Four are any longer safe from precisely this
kind of humiliation Up to this year the sec
ond-raters'' have regarded 1t as the height of
their ambition TO score on the big fellows, but
