Norwich bulletin., 1915-11-01

Tigers, although weakened by the ab- sence of several of their best players Haven and Cambridge. had little difn- culty in defeating Williams. g
 Cornell, by scoring. 45- points against Virginia Poly. came within one point of her record score of the season made against Williams. The southerners afforded little more than practice for the powerful Ithaca team, being scored upon in every period and nev- CT having a chance to force the at- tack in CornelPs territory.
 In sharp contrast to -Cornelrs vic tory was the defeat of Pennsylvania by Lafayette. The latter team, already vanquished by Washington and Jef- ferson and by Princeton, took advan- tage of the Quakers' errors of Judg- ment and plays on a deserved, if rath- CT unexpected victory. Pennsylvania fumbled frequently and used wretched generalshIp at critical stages. The Quakers, like Yale, appear to have much latent strength. but to lack skill and strategy.
 Neither the, Army nor the Navy showed to advantage, Doth losing by the small margin of two or three points. The Villa Nova eleven de- pended almost entirely upon the aerial form of attack to defeat the soldiers. They scored more frequently and with | less effort than the cadets, who de- pended upon the slower and more orthodox running and plunging game The defeat of the Navy by the North Carolina Aggies was jess in pressive and clean-cut, both teams fumbling the ball and scoring ma jority of their points because of er- TOTS by their opponents.
 In the other important games of Saturday the teams played true 4to nid-seasop form. Dartmouth defeated Amherst, Brown won from vermont, Syracuse vanquished Michigan at Ann Arbor, West Virginias Wesleyan white washed the Carlisle Indians, Rutgers triumphed over Springfield. Wesleyan easily outscored Worcester Tech, i Washington and Jefferson ran rough shod over Muskingum. Swarthmore was victor in the game against Johns Hopkins, Pittsburgh swamoed Ale gheny and Rochester scored almost a4 will against Stevens.
 Western. Hopes Shattered.
 Wrecked hopes and shattered pros phecies filtered the football fields Of the central states after yesterday't games, Standing out among the sura prises were the route Of the famoua Michigan Aggies by Oregon Agriculr tural college and Chicago's gallant vicF tory over Wisconsin The IIlinoiss Minnesota tie afforded comparatively little surprise. ----
 Handicapped by a 1000 mile jour4 ney and clashing with a victorious and confident team on it's own terris tory, the Oregon lads convinced the most hardened skeptie of the advanced stage to which football has been brought in the northwest It has beees generally admitted; that the Michigan Aggies constitute one. of the best teams of this section.
 To Coach Stagg must be given the leading honors for the victory of ChiS cago. A week ago his team, outs weighed, seemed outclassed man fog man by the Wisconsin aggregation. but the spirit he instilled into the Maroon$ and the generalship he outlined prok duced the last ounce of strength ana effectiveness which meant victory.
 In the Illinois, Minnesota game. H. Iinois lost the chance of victory bx missing an easy goal, while an opporf tunity for a winning touchdown b4 Minnesota was frustrated by a fumt ble. Neither team had its full strength in the game.
 Lacking the speed shown last year. Michigan surprised its partisans bI holding Syracuse as well as they didf but the result offered little encourage4 ment for the games against Cornell and Pennsylvania.
 Washington and Lees ability tog hold Indiana to a tie was a surprises The game indicated the VigrniainS have developed the forward pass to q point of remarkable efficiency.
