the secondary teams, that is. with one
exception.
Pittsburgh must have an eleven Of ex-
ceptional strength this season, not only
extensively, but defensively. as well.
Indians and prevent them from scoring
quite a few touchdowns, and yet Pitts
burgh did that very thing. 1t will also
be remembered that Cornell could not
cross the Indians goal line a week ago.
while Pittsburgh did 1t twice yesterday.
That speaks mighty we'll for the strength
OF the Navy also, for Pittsburgh could
not cross its goal line October 8, when
1t played in Annapolis.
Despite the Wanted strength of the Wig
ginia Medical College eleven the victory
secured by Georgetown was Just about
that the Blue and Gray would win by a
margin OF two or three touchdowns and
three was just what 1t secured. The
Meds proved to be just what was thought.
a big. strong team which lacked agrees
siveness and agility, both of which
Georgetown has always had.
Georgetown meets A. & M this coming
Thursday in Raleigh and by comparative
scores A & M. Is not as strong as the
Hilltoppers. The Blue and Gray tailed
three times on the Meds, while A. &
Nd. got only two touchdowns. Also, the
Meds scored a touchdown against A. g.
M, which they were not able to do
against Georgetown. The condition Of
the field during the A. & M.-Medical
game may have had lot to do with the
result of that game, though, as it Is said
that the footing was absolutely uncertain.

| The Maryland Agricultural College team
surprised itself yesterday by getting
away with Western Maryland by big
score, despite the fact that it was in a
very badly crippled condition. 1t was not
thought that Western Maryland would
win, even under the unfavorable circum-
stances, from the Farmers. but 1t was
the long end of the score by any such
margin as that which they did.
Western Maryland had been heralded
as having much more capable aggre-
cation than it did, and the Farmers were
not any too certain of how things were
going to turn out. Reports had come to
NJ. A. c. to the effect that the upstate
team was stronger than last fall, when

None of the big Colleges had much
trouble in winning its game. Cornell
and Princeton were the hardest pushed,
