NEW YORK, Oct. ga bewildered
football world east Of the Allegheny
mountains took stock of itself today
and found situation unparalleled In
the history Of intercollegiate gridiron
combat-Yale demoralized, Harvard
crushed and Cornell looming up as the
best aggregation in the east.
Only lap behind the big team from
ithaca, Pitt and Princeton are casting
their shadows toward the champion
ship goal with little W. and J., whose
beating Yale seems to have become a
habit. tagging at their very heels.
Yale and Harvard both out of the run
ming before November! And both
eliminated by teams outside the big
three!" Surely the worlds gone mad.
The championship promises to be-
come an involved affair. Cornell,
Princeton, Pitt and w. and ]. all pur-
sue. their separate ways the rest OF
the season and II all complete their
schedules there's going to be a fear
full middle. Doping 1t out by the com.
parative score route will be the only
method Of arriving at decision and
that is rather shaky.
Pitt lost little of her prestige Sat.
urday by failing to lick Pennsylvania
by larger score than IA to 7. The
record Of w. and ]. earlier in the sea.
son wasn't impressive by any means,
but neither was Princeton's.
Princeton opened up a versatile at
tack on Dartmouth Saturday but
the Tigers still have rocky road to
travel with both Yale and Harvard t.
meet. Yale should prove easy unless
something unforeseen happens, but
the fight is not gone out OF Harvard
yet by several jumps and both Yale
and Harvard can be counted on Il
battle harder against the Tigers thar
against any other aggregation.
BY his work Saturday. Davy Tibbot
the Tigers kicking back, looms up as
a probable rival of Barrett and MahaI
