ultimately, because that run of his
was the factor which put the ball wen
within close striking distance. Such

dangerous, because it can never be told

While the whole Georgetown team
played brilliantly. there was one
youngster in the game fighting from
inently from beginning to end-sam
Foley. Foley not only gained lot OF
ground. moro than any other George
town back. but he was working with
time. Foley. though light. is one Of
the most valuable backs Georgetown
has. Were he heavier he would be
star Of the first degree.
The game of yesterday can hardly be
construed as anything other than
success from a Georgetown standpoint.
The Blue and Gray played brilliantly,
and its work at all times was very.
very good. That it was able to hold
to two touchdowns and score itself
against a team which defeated Yale 13
to and played Harvard a to 10 con-
test is evidence In itself Of the splen-
did exhibition of Exendine's eleven.
The wonderful showing Of the Dart
mouth clever against Syracuse seems
to indicate that the big green combina-
ton is one of the strongest in the
country. That 1t was able to defeat by
40 to team that won from Michigan
decisively certainly is proof that it is
in a class almost by itself when 1t
comes to offensive play. The whole
in its wonderfully well developed run
ming game, which 1t has built up almost
to point of perfection. 1t is hardly
probable that there Is more than one
eleven in the country better equipped
in this respect than it, as has been
shown by the one-sided scores by
which 1t has been defeating elevens Of
recognized caliber.
1t certainly seems unfortunate that
Dartmouth should, in a measure have
to Princeton. Had not the Tigers de-
feated it, Dartmouth probably would
have the best record Of any eleven
with which to grace its book Of ath-
letic records.
The Indians finally won, defeating
Dickinson by SO to 0. The contest could
hardly have been one of especial merit,
in view of the fact that the two teams
have been practicing against each 9TH
er nearly all season.
The Lehigh-Lafayette game went ac-
cording to form and the former won
by II to Z. 1t was not expected that
the latter team would be able to ac-
complish a great deal, inasmuch as it's
squad has been almost decimated by
disease and unfortunate accidents. Sew
eral of the best men in the lineup of
the squad have been kept out nearly
all season, and the strongest possible
eleven was not placed against Lehigh
by any means. If reports are to be con-
sidered in their entirety.
Rutgers. which is to be played by
Washington and Jefferson next Sat-
urday In New York. won from Stevens
yesterday by 80 to 0. one of the largest
scores Of the year made against an
eleven of real standing.
For the second time in succession
the Gallaudet eleven defeated the
Maryland Aggies' team. The latter was
cation, and was decisively outplayed in
the second half. notwithstanding that
it started out as If it might win.
The University of Nebraska won its
big game yesterday. defeating Iowa by
l6 to Z. 1t was generally thought that
Iowa might be the victor, and that Ne
braska should get the long end Of the
score so decisively was something Of
a surprise.
The showing of the Army and Navy
yesterday was good. Both elevens did
well in their games, the former defeat
ing the Springfield 7. NJ c. A. eleven
and the Navy winning from Ursinus de-
cisfvely The Springfield team is stronger
than Ursinus, but it was not beaten as
badly as that of the latter.
Illinois removed everything that might
stand in the way O. its claim to the Con-
ference championship yesterday when It
defeated the Wisconsin eleven by "a to 9.
Had Wisconsin been the victor there
would have been some dispute, but now it
appears that Illinois will be accorded full
honors.
In the other big western game, Chicago
lost to Minnesota by a small margin.
Two local teams are to meet Thanks
giving day, while Catholic University
plays at Boston and the Maryland Aggies
are to appear in contest at the Penn
sylvania Military College Chester, Pa
Georgetown and Gallaudet are to. face
each other for the first time IN years and
the result should be a decisive victory
for the Blue and Gray II Georgetown
plays anything like up to its usual stand
ard it should win from the Kendall Green
ers by thirty or forty points. Boston Col
iege has proved itself stronger, judging
by comparative scores. than Catholic
University. while the Maryland Aggies
ought to have at least an even chance
