FOOTBALL ELEVENS
Yale UndiSputed Champions

with the passing Of football for the
season of 1903 Yale has a clear title to
championship honors in the East and
although there is no particularly de-

Michigan has a pretty clear title to
the Western honors in spite of the
fact that Notre Dame defeated the
Wolverines. The eXouse Is made for
this blot on the escutcheon OF the
maize and blue that there was a big
slump i'm Yost's forces, due to over
confidence inspired by the big score
rolled up against Syracuse in the con-
test Of the preceding week. The victory
Of the Michiganders over PENNSYLVANIA
wiped out in great measure the sting
OF the Notre Dame defeat. and the fur
Their triumph over Minnesota gave
Michigan a good claim TO the Western
championship.
Taking comparative records against
Eastern teams Pennsylvania could
scarcely be given a chance with Yale.
so IL is hard to see how Michigan
could beat Yale were the two to meet
for the championship OF the country.
Harvard has undoubtedly the second
best record In the country, losing only
TO Yale and being the sole team met
by the blue whose goal line was I'M
crossed for touchdown. After these
two big varsities, however. comes the
trouble In making any sort Of an equit-
able rating. The minor teams played
so well against their major rivals that
there were few clean states Dart

.SOPH'S BEAT OUT
FRESHIES, 22-O
First Class Men no Match for
Opponents in Delaware
College Game
Special to THE EvENINa, JOURNAL.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK, Dec. 2-The annual foot
ball game between the Freshmen and
Sophomores Of Delaware College re.
suited in a vicotry for the latter by
the score Of % to o. Contrary to the
result of the game of last year the
Glass Of 1912" literally wiped the field
up with their opponents. Last year
the Sophomores won by the small
score of TO 0. and this year the
sophomores scored the greatest num-
Der Of points scored in a class game
in many years, making a total of four
touchdowns and two goals from touch
downs.
As is the custom. the entries tudent
body with the exception of the Sopho-
mores. rooted for the Freshmen. The
second year men made a noise, too.
themselves on the southern side of the
field. and made the scene alive with
spirit by their constant and untiring
cheering efforts. In fact the Sopho-
more team shows more dash and vim
than has been seen by any team on
the Delaware gridiron this year.
The VICTORIOUS team was composed
of six varsity men, four scrub men
and one of last years scrub men. The
defeated eleven consisted of five scrub
men and six practically green men.
Considering the superiority OF the for
mer team. the latter put up a game
fight The "Class of 1912" gained 400
yards by scrimmage and the "Class Of
1919 game dtwenty. The former
eleven made nineteen first downs, the
latter on.
The Sophomores won the toss and
made thirty yards on the kickoff. Con-
sstent line plunging and numerous end
runs put Ennis over for the first touch
down. Todd missed the goal. -Four
downs. aided by a tumble and two
penalties. gave Larrimore the second
five points Todd kicked the goal. An
exchange of punts and an onside kick,
coupled with a forty-yard run by Cap
tain Harvey, gave the third touch
down. No goal.
In the second half the Freshmen
were helped materially by the frequent
penalties inflicted 'on their opponents.
After i've minutes Of play Taylor sue
ceeded in placing the pigsldn behind
the posts and Todd kicked the goal
The half ended with the ball in the
"Sophs'" possession on the "Freshies' -
15-yard line.
The Sophomore team worked like a
machine throughout. but the Freshmen
eleven seemed confused and fumbled
frequently Only through the good
work of Mr. Penalty" was the score
kept as low as it was. Larrimore and
Harvey We're the victors' stars. while
Harrigan and Walker played the best
for the vanqulshod.

from the start on selling attributed to

These ores have been treated by other we'll
