play. but after that they received
penalty on pretty nearly every other
down. 1t did not matter whether the
AGgicS or i. NJ. {. had the ball, it wa;
the former team which suffered con-
SiStently. Once the Farmers made
three gains of about fifteen Yards each
on successive downs, and when they
started they We're on their Opponent;'
yard line. The first play put the
ball on j. NJ. c.'s 5-yard mark, but it
was brought back and after three of
that kind had been run, the AggieS
We're back on their own 40 yard line
Splendid use of the forward pass gave
the Farmers three of their four touch
downs, knode making two and Oberlin
one The play proved a big ground
gamer every time tried, with the ex-
ceptlon OF two, one when the ball was
grounded and the other when it was
Intercepted. The Farmers had no trou-
bic gaining ground and had it not
! been for penalties and fumbles prob
ably would have not been held for
downs during the entire contest.
| Pennington, Bowland and Carter
played their last game for the Aggies.
| The first t-mentioned especially is worthy
|
season. For the frst three years of
! his college life he worked on the
scrubs with little or no recognition,
seldom getting taste of real play
| This season he came through, though,
I and got the reward for his persistence;
he has played in every minute of every
game, and that he should do so well
after such persistent effort for years
is something of which he may well
| feel proud.
| Cornell did not have the easy time
defeating Pennsylvania that was eX-
pected If anybody had foretold that the
Itluakers would be leading near the end
| of the third period he would have been
laughed at, and yet that is just what
| they were doing. 1t WAS not until the
| latter stages of the contest that the
| 1thacanS got their machine working
we'll, and then they went after the
other two touchdowns which gave them
the contest by Just double the count
scored by Pennsylvania. One Cornell
boy who watched the game had this
| to say of it:
| Gee, but Penn had US scared for a
\ while. There was a time In the first
half when We had that team on the
run, but the way it braced at the be-
\ ginning of the second and scored twice
| caused us to wonder what was going
to happen. Penn's eleven played better
foot ball than in any of its previous
games and il made things rather too
interesting for us for awhile. especially
! when it was leading by two points. The
way our team came back and got those
| needed points after that proved that
| we were superior, though. from every
point of view.
! Virginia outplayed North Carolina
and defeated that team decisively at
/ Richmond. Carolina probably took the
F.; strongest combination that has ever
| represented it to battle the Orange and
| Blue yet it was forced to face one of
| the greatest teams Virginia has ever
! developed. 1t seemed an adverse
| stroke of fortune that Carolina, with
! it's best eleven in years, should be COM
| pelIed to face a combination of the
| character of that which represented
| the Charlottesville institution.
! Carolina must have broken somewhat
| in the second half, inasmuch as it held
| Virginia 10 a score of to ! during
| the first thirty minutes of play. Nir-
| ginia's greater strength and versatility
| probably We're the factors that gave
| it its decisive victory.
| Washington and Lee University won
| from the North Carolina Agricultural
| and Mechanical College by one touch
down. The Raleigh eleven proved fully
as strong as its opponents. but failed
| to win because it did not get the
| breaks. Here is what Jack Hegarty,
coach of A & NJ, had to say this
morning regarding the contest
| washington and Lee defeated us.
| but we outplayed them by far in rush
! ing the ball. My team gained almost
twice the ground that did the opposing
| combination. and had il not been for
one or two unfortunate penalties We
! would have won. Just TO show how
much we We're superior in some re-
| spectS. Washington and Lee did not
make a first down III the second half,
while we made eight"

! lost to St. Josephs College at Phila-
delphia by a rather sided score
! The Blue and Gray youngsters did not
get u count and We're greatly out
played
! St. Johns College scored thirty four
! points against Johns Hopkins in the
1 annual game between these two in
stitutions at Baltimore. The Hopkins
team alleviated its defeat somewhat by
/ getting two touchdowns itself. st.
Johns splendid backfield gained
ground almost at will. though the de-
! fense weakened at times.
Hopkins defeat of yesterday ends u
| rather poor season for it. especially i'll
! consideration of the fine prospects it
| had at the start. 1t claimed by
! those in charge of the Baltimore team
! that the material was the best and the
team itself had better prospects than
in long while. So good did things
| look that it freely predicted the
| state championship was likely to be
won. Yesterdays loss to st Johns was
! the end to rather disa strous year for
! Hopkins. only one state college being
defeated by it-Washington.
! Besides the game tomorrow between
i the Army and Navy, the meeting be-
tween Washington and jefferson and
| Rutgers at New York is bound to be
I very attractive These are two of the
t best of the minor elevens. and there Is
! no reason to believe other than that
/ one of the finest contests of the year
! will lie played
