SMALL COLLEGE TEAMS UPSET DOPE
AND DEFEAT BIG EASTERN H[EVENS

forward pass. scored Il touchdown,
but missed the territory at goal. When
PENNSYLVANIA state scored Il second
field goal, the game appeared to be
clinched, but the Harvard second
string men fou.d themselves in the
final period, and, gaining the ball on
a tumble. uncovered a brilliant attack
along Rugby lines, in which the ball
was passed repeatedly in a loose run
ming advance. The tying touchdown
and goal were secured within less
h three minutes to play. 1t was a
costly effort, however. for it showed
Vale scouts that Harvard had mas
tered a feature OF new football which
the Ellis were inclined to believe was
better understood at New Haven than
at Cambridge.
Princeton Does Well.
In defeating Dartmouth in the first
game played in the new Yale stadium,
Princeton showed the most versatile
attack n defense OF the day so far
as the larger eastern universities were
concerned. Forward sse and field
goals figured prominently in the
Princeton scoring. although the
Tigers showed that they could smash
through h line and skirt the ends
when the necessity arose. A sensa-
tional II yard run and two perfectly
executed forward passes, followed by
a short line plunge, accounted for
Dortmouth's scores.
Michigan Crushed.
For the second time this season a
western eleven was crushed by an
ly outplayed Michigan, which next
Saturday meets Harvard at Cam
bridge. The game was almost devoid
of open play, the Wolverines presum-
ably saving any sensational passing
efforts for the crimson contest. The
Arbor team was minus h serv-
ices of Huighitt at quarter and sew
eral regulars in the line. This IN
douhtedly weakened Coach Yost's ma
chine, which. except for a few flashes.
played a rather ]istless game. Splawn,
the Michigan field goal kicker. failed
in two attempts to score over the
goal bar. ON defense the westerners
found it almost impossible to hold the
rushes of h heavy Syracuse
line n back field and altogether
they fought %doggedly. were forced to
permitting h scores which won the
game.
Carlisle Defeated.
Forward passing was responsible
for the single touchdown by which
Pennsylvania defeated the Carlisle In
dams. Both teams played an erratic
game. showing strength and weakness
by turn. With 8. CISCO tie in sight
Pennsylvania worked two perfect for
ward passes in quick succession for a
forty yard gain n the winning
touchdowns.

Crushed by Syracuse.

New York, Oct. 26.--'rhe most ad.
vanced type of aerial football ever
witnessed on eastern gridirons fur
nished the sensational climax in Sat
nrday's games. which has been feared
and f~orecasted since the beginning
of 1914 play. Forward passes, lateral
passes. and field goals all served to
produce a series of startling upsets
unequalled on any one day in many
years. Small college teams. which
have been fighting for recognition
alongside the elevens of the larger
universities. broke down the invisible
barriers which separated the two
classes. leaving coaches and critics
stunned by the overthrow IT form
and tradition.
Yale Team Falls.
The Yale university eleven fondly
believed by it's adherents to be on the
march for championship honors. fell
before the powerful team represent
ing Washington and Jefferson college,
an institution with an enrolment of
Pennsylvanians. with one of the best
records in the east during the last
two wears. We're not underestimate
by the Ellis. for last season they held
the blues to a no-score tie. and two
weeks g forced Harvard to play at
TOP speed to WIN ~ to y. The splen-
did showing made by Yale against
Notre Dame a week ago, however,
caused the supporters of the blue to
believe Yale was regaining the place
formerly held by New Haven %elevens.
To fail where Harvard had sue
ceeded w weeks previous anne as
a bitter disappointment. This. toe,
when with the exception of Captain
Talbot, the blue had its regular line
up in play. All three touchdowns

result Of forward passes or lateral
passes, although SpiegeI's open field
running was a marked factor in bring

Harvard Barely Escaped.
Harvard, for the second time in a
fortnight. barely STAYED off defeat by
a last minute rush which tied the lead
previously gained by Pennsylvania
state. The crimson. weakened by the
absence Of Logan, Mahan. Pfeffer,
Hardwick and other regulars, was
completely outplayed by the opposing
tam and but for several fumbles at
critical moments by PENNSYLVANIA
state, would have been d%ecisively de-
feated.
The Pennsylvanians opened with a
rush that soon gave them a ten point
lead.

bRESNTHAN TO
THE FEDERALS
Signs as Manager of the
Brooklyn Team-Peace
Plans Seem Forgotten

New York. Oct. 2s.--Roger Bresna-
han, former idol OF the Polo grounds,
and this year M of the mainstays be-
hind the bat for the Chicago Cubs, will
manage the Brooklyn Federal league
club next yea He was signed late
Saturday night to an iron-clad three
year contract with the proviso that he
w:ts given absolute charge of the play
ing end Of the game at Washington
Park. The terms Of Bresnahan's on
tract were not announced. but it was
admitted that the Toledo sleuth not
only secured a most excellent salary,
but a handsome cash bonus as we'll.
The bonus is believed to be $4,000.
James A.. Gilmore did not announce
the fact that Bresnahan had been in
duced TO cast in his lot with the in
dependents.
Bresnahan was indirectly the cause
of a great deal of Saturdays delibera-
tions. The Ward Brothers were very
anxious to secure the player. but these
business men new to baseball methods
were anxious to make fine provision
for Bill Bradley. who had charge Of
the Tip-Tops this Year. The Ward
brothers fought hard to nave the Kan
sas City franchise transferred to To-
ronto. where Bradley is Very popular
and where he could have been trans
ferred as manager without loss Of
dignity.
The very fact that Bresnahan has
been engaged shows quite conclusive
ly, If further proof were needed. hat
the Gilmore clan has given up all hope
Of effecting any sort of COMPROMISE or
peace pact with organized baseball.
The independents announced openly
that they would try to ecure every
available players from the ranks Of
the majors. 1t was reported on the
very best Of authority that Catcher
Bill Fischer Of the Brooklyn Nationals

POSITION

Frank Mayer, the East Grand Forks
high school graduate, has his position
at left tackle for the Minnesota team
cinched. Mayer played in Saturdays
gane with Iowa, and. according to all
reports, acquitted himself admirably.
The detailed account Of the play
shows that he played a consistent
game throughout. Several times, he
smashed through the Iowa line and
tackled their backs for losses. Once,
he recovered a fumbled ball.
While a student at the East Grand
