NEW YORK. Nov 1z.-In the
closing hours OF the eastern football
season varsity gridiron form suffered
a staggering upset and Sunday there
was mourning and autopsy where Joy
and celebration had been planned as
an aftermath OF Saturdays big games.
Championship aspirations and months
of careful campaigning were swept
away in the wreck left by the belated
rush OF elevens considered out OF the
running.
Princeton outplayed and held 10 a

Middle West Earns Credit.
In view of this record, those who
believe that the football play OF the
middle western colleges is not equal
to that of the average eastern eleven
will have to rearrange their opinions.
For the first time this season the
Army eleven has received an encour-
aging report from Annapolis after a
game in which the Navy has been a
contestant. In Penn State the Mid
dies found an opponent able To check
their powerful rushes. and the Navy
eleven had TO work hard for every
