Three of the big elevens went down
before the onslaughts of teams repre-
senting secondary institutions yester-
day. Cornell. Carlisle and Pennsylvania
lost to Colgate. Lehigh and Franklin
and Marshall, respectively. In each
game the aggregation wearing the col
played decisively.
The victories of Lehigh and Franklin
and Marshall came as q great surprise.
While it was thought that Carlisle was
weak this season, at least less strong
| than usual, it was not expected that it
would dropt the contest to Lehigh The
Indians have failed to do as well of

many points against smaller elevens
and the loss of the contest with Le-
high just about makes sure the surmise
that Warner lacks as effective COM
bination as usual
Pennsylvania has been said to have
some of the best material of any
school in the country, and that it
should drop game to Franklin and
Marshall seems to indicate that some

conditions, and 1t will be interesting
to learn just the methods by which the
Lancaster team got the victory. 1t
may have shown varied kind of for
ward pass play that completely baffled
the Philadelphia eleven, but the
chances are that Penn would have been
able to score also, because Franklin
and Marshall could not have kept the
ball in its possession all the time, only
scoring one touchdown and goal from
the field. Penn probably was greatly
off form. or else Franklin and Mar
shall has the greatest team in it's his

1t was felt that Colgate would give
Cornell all it was looking for, and the
result of the contest shows that the
Ithacans got little more than they
could successfully take care Of Col
Wesleyan eleven a week ago indicated
that the Cornell aggregation would
not have an easy time of 1T by any
means. And the game itself proved
that to be true.
The University of Chicago started the
conference schedule with such vic
tory as would tend to indicate that the
other elevens in that body had better
watch out or the Maroon will come
through with another championship.

a game between two colleges that ought
to be in pretty nearly the same class

eleven won by 105 to 0. which will cause
more than a little apprehension In the
minds of those in charge at Yale and
