SERIES OF UPSETS IN
EASTERN COLLEGE GAMES
Most Advanced Tyne Of Aerial Football
Furnished Sensational Climnxs
In Saturdays Contests.

NEW YORK, October 25.-Thc most
advanced type of aerial football ever
witnessed on Eastern gridirons fur
nishei sensational climax in Satur-
days games.
Forward passes, lateral passes and
field goals produced q series of start :
ling upsets, not equaled on any one day
In many years.
The Yale eleven. believed by its ad :

their game with Penn State, barely
STAYED off defeat. Weakened by the
absence OF Logan, Mahan, Pennock.
Hardwick and other regulars, the Crimy
son was completely outplayed. and hIt
for several fumblcs at critical moments
would have been decisivcly beaten.
Forward passes and field goals fea-
tured the game.
In defeating Dartmouth, Princeton
showed the most versatile attack and
defense OF the day In the East. Here,
also. forward PASSES and field goals
figured prominently. although the
Tigers showed they could smash
through the line and skirt the ends
when necessary.
For a second time this season, n
Western eleven was crushed by an
Eastern team, when Syracuse COM
pletely outplayed Michigan. This game
was almost devoid of open play, the
Wolverines presumably saving any SEN
sationnl passing efforts for their game
with Harvard next Saturday.
Forward passing was responsible for
the single touchdown by which Penn
sylvanla defeated Carlisle. Both teams
played an erratic game, showing
strength and weakness by turns. Cor
nell defeated Brown rather easily,
using running attack; the Army en-
ployed similar tactics in overcoming
Holy Cross, while the Navy complete

Travel to the Pacific coast has
picked up wonderfully in the past few
days. Up to few days ago the traf-
tic had fallen OF to such an extent
that few Of the passenger trains were
being run at a profit. Now, however.
the business is increasing and it is ex-
pected that the increase in travel will
be gradual until the latter part of
January. when it is expected to take a
big advance on account OF the eastern
states sending employees to the exposi-
tions and on account OF the opening of
the first exposition travel. In the
coming summer 1t is expected that all
trains will be run in two or more sec
tions.
1t is reported that the Western Pa
ciflc and the other Gould roads will
shortly put on new all steel through
