YALE'S SHOWING IS
MOST IMPRESSIVE
Blue Rolls Up Exceptionally
Good Score Against Sturdy
Opponent.

No startling upsets marked the col
lege football games OF Saturday. The
most impressive score was Yale's
timely % to victory over Notre
Dame in the East VS.. West game of
the day, The University of Pennsyl-
vania defeated Annapolis mainly
through Avery's thrilling dash of six
ty yards after intercepting a touch
down. The u. OF P. baseball pitcher,
rushed into the game twice in emer-
gencies. showed unusual skill in
pluclSing the forward pass from the
air, his skill on the diamond perhaps
having something to do with his sue
cess.
Most encouraging was the work of
the Princeton team against foe
man worthy OF her steel-Lafayette
The Tigers rolled up sixteen points
without being scored upon, and but
for the fact that the field was muddy
the tally would probably have been
larger. 1t was the biggest score that
the Tigers have turned out this sea-
son, which is quite contrary to the
run of other years. It has been
customary for most Of the big teams
to shoot away with towering scores
and then allow the points gradually
to dwindle down as the heavier part
of the schedule was reached. This
season Princeton seems to be climb
ing, step by step, in perfecting its
machine, and while there is much
room for Improvement in team work,
tho results are most encouraging.
n hn wi
not find herself against the strong
defense put up by Lafayette. The
superabundance of unusually good
material has been q severe handicap
in preventing the coaches from pick
Ing out the most talented of the
large squad and welding the players
into flawless machine. Things
have not yet passed from the expert
mental stage at Old Nassau because
of this very good reason, but follow
ing the Dartmouth game next week
a really good line on the best of the
Tiger talent will have been obtained
and the coaches can go to work
with a more definite end In view.
Because of the slime covered field,
Princeton did not resort to the open
game. though one of her two touch
downs was the result of the wide
open game" A successful forward
pass, netting eight yards, was in
strumental in scoring the other
touchdown. Law added three more
points by kicking a field goal.
Harvard Gets Her Revenge.
Some twenty-seven years ago
Tufts had football team that hung
big defeat over on proud Johnny
Harvard's football eleven. Since
then the Harvard and Tufts have
had many good elevens, but not until
this year did the pair arrange to
play game In framing their sched-
ules. Harvard met Tufts at Cam
bridge Saturday, and rather wiped
out the old score with 1876 defeat.
In n measure II was satisfactory
for Harvard was appeased, and then
again she was not, for the Tufts
Angel crossing Harvard's line. The
Crimson was badly crippled. and
playing on a muddy field, which pre-
vented the team from showing it's
real speed, but her attack at times
was dazzling. Her plays were run
off with great celebrity and much de-
ceptiveness. Brickley, Logan and
Nahan were missing from the back
feld, while Pennock and Hardwick
wero absent from the line, Bradlee
star left halfback of Harvard's
over the line for the two Harvard
tonehdowns.
At the stately city of Elms-New
Haven--Notre Dame came, saw and
was conquered. The Indiana combi-
nation was worse than conquered
she was swept off her feet and COM
pletely upset Yale had been FORE
warned, and she was forearmed for
the speedy western teams forward
passing. Early in the game the
Notre Dame team. with Eichenlaub
as @ battering RAM ploughed
through the Yale team again and
again for timely gains. Five first
downs were recorded before YALE
with her old spirit, braced and held
the invaders. The husky backfield
trio skirted the Yale ends for sub
stantial gains, using the old fash
toned football methods. After Yale
had braced, Notre Dame shifted to
her forward passing, but Yales de-
Tense was a marvel to behold. In
the third period the Notre Dame
team, trying eight forward passes
succeeded in executing the play only
twice with success. Dorias Ia missed
very much by the Notre Dame
eleven, according to the experts.
The shifty little quarterback's skill
in getting off the 'aerial" pass
was sadly lacking. Once Notre
Dame got down to Yale's three-yard
line, but with Eichenlaub ready to
finish the trip the shrill blast of the
HneSman'S whistle ended the period.
