HARVARD SUPREME
AGAIN THIS YEAR
Dartmouth Ranks Second,
Princeton Third, With Yale
and Pennsy Following.
OLD ELI OUT OF 1T
Regret Is Expressed That
Two Leaders Will Not
Meet.

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Harvard
reigns supreme in the Eastern sec
ton of the football world with Dart
mouth second, Princeton third, and
Yale and Pennsylvania about tied for
fourth place.
One of the big regrets of this sea
son is that Harvard and Dartmouth,
for the first time in many years, will
meet Just now it looks as if the
champion must be chosen from be-
tween these two teams ond not from
among Princeton and Yale, as in for
mer years.
Each new contest in which Harvard
figures more fOrcibly demonstrates
the fact that the Crimson squad this
year is one of the best fotball aggre-
cations ever gathered together-a
team that has a stOnewall defense and
a smashing, dashing offense but no
opponent has been able to stop.
Dartmouth Also Favorite.
The Dartmouth aggregation, by its
6 to victory over the speedy Prince
ton team, has demonstrated beyond
a doubt that it ranks second only to
Harvard. and there are many who be-
lieve that the heavy New Hampshire
team if sent against the Crimson,
would come out a winner.
PrincetOns defeat Saturday was
crushing blow to its supporters who
looked for victory, or at least, tie
score. The muddy condition of the
field greatly handicapped the tigers
who depended very largely on their
speed, but it was about as large
handicap to the Dartmouth boys who
were unable to use the forward pass,
one of their best ground gamers.
Some Angry Coaches.
The weakness displayed by Yale,
Pennsylvania and Cornell Saturday
had their sequel in tobasco commands
from the coaches to their charges. A
half dozen substitutions were threat
ened on both teams, and new plays
and reformatory measures have been
ordered.
Saturday was day of surprises
and one in which the dope" was
upset and scattered in seventeen di-
rections. Everywhere throughout the
east the games were played in quag-
mires but this gave one side as much
advantage as the other. Perhaps on
a dry field, however, the results might
have been different.
Next to Princetons defeat by Dart
mouth, the most surprising result was
the nothing to nothing Yale and
Washington and Jefferson score. The
Ellis looked for at least 20 to score,
and miserable showing made by the
Bulldogs has thrown the coaches into
dispair. This was the second time
this season the heavy Yale outf1eld
was played to standstill, the little
Maine team turning the trick several
weeks ago.
Indians Sprung Surprise.
Carlisle sprang a big surprise by
holding Pennsylvania outfit to 7
to score. Pennsylvania supporters
looked for a one-sided victory because
OF Carlisle's poor showing in its last
few games.
Cornell took a severe beating at the
hands of the University of Pittsburgh
crowd, but there is not disgrace in
that The Pittsburgh boys so far
have demonstrated that they have a
team that might give even Harvard
or Dartmouth a mighty tussle. They
have swamped the teams they met
n their earlier games handily. They
defeated Carlisle just when the In
dams were going along like blue
streaks, and then trimmed Cornell 20
to Z, Saturday.
Judged on their record so far this
year the Navy team is going to have
an easy job beating the Army outfit
in their annual game. The Navy has
been playing consistent football all
season, while the Army has been an
in-and-outer, winning most of it's
games more because luck was on it's
side than hecauSe of SuDariOr playing
