YALE'S SHOWING
BEST AMONG THE
EASTERN ELEVENS
Notre Danes Defeat Cen
orally Gratifying, Y e t
Games for Local Suprem-
acy Still Out-rank Inter-
sectional Contests.

Although the number OF big intorSeC'
tionel football games is increasing an.
nually, it is probable that the time viii
never come when these games, regard.
less of the quality Of football games play.
ed by the contcninz elcvens, will sup.
plant in Importance the battles waged
for sectional supremacy. As long as the
Harvard Princeton. Yale-Harvard and
princeton-Yale games are played in the
East, any contest which 6ne Of these
teams may have with a team of the
West will fade into comparative fnsiEnh-
canoe. In the same way the Chicago.
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Wis.
consin- Chicago games will strip tha IN.
terest of the football fans OF the West.
There was. however. considerable gem
eral interest manifest in the YaleNotrc
Dame contest on saturday. The COM
pete manner in which the Blue con.
quered the western rival was indeed a
pleasant surprise to the followers Of
old Ell. though many Of tho supporters
Of Harvard and Princeton would like, for
personal reasons, to have seen the vic
tory less decisive.
II might appear from the big score,
$50, that Yale did not have to extend
herself in the least to defeat the Notrc
Dame eleven Yet the opposite was true

passes was extremely gratifying to the
coaches OF the Blue Indeed the men
played a game which was far above tho
1ondest expectations OF their followers,

the new game, and can combine it in
such manner with the old that they
