elevens now. West Point daubed Yale's, and
Princeton left an unmistakable smudge on
Dartmouth's They were the only teams
that had not been scored against up to Sat

faced the, Soldiers. His. fingers were all
thumbs, and he was over-anxious to the
extent of acting Yale's plays while giving
the signals for them. ..s.ss,zs
Weeks Of the Army outplayed Biglow of
Yale. Weeks broke through time and again.
and when his time came to hold he was
just as strong IN that part of the game.

If the Pennsylvania players did not learn
numerous things about new football during
their presence at the Observation-Disclosures

Princeton team Is.
