ONE MEMBER OF
TR|UMVIRATE IS
GIVEN A SCARE
Harvard and Yale Come
Through Day With Fly
ing Colors but Princeton
Has Close Call.
BY Il. c. HAMILTON.


New York, Oct. 2S.-The smashing
power of two of the Big three east
ern teams stuck out In huge gobs in
their victories this afternoon and the
other member of the exclusive trium-
virate, Princeton. pulled through by the
skin OF it's teeth. Yale made up for
every beating she has taken at the
hands of Washington and Jefferson by
pounding and forward passing its way
to a SO to IA victory. Harvard ex-
tracted all the bitterness from it's de-
feat of year ago at the hands. of
Cornell, when Percy Haughton's eleven
walloped the Ithacans, % to o. Besides
being the first game Cornell has lost
In more than two years. it was the
hrst time Cornell's line has been
crossed this year.
Down at Princeton, the Tigers won
from Dartmouth, to 8. And 1t all
came about when Eddie briggs, Tiger
full back, leaped blindly into the air.
snatched a forward pass from out of
the very hands of a Dartmouth player
and dashed 55 yards across the Dart
mouth line for touchdown Tibbott
aided a point by kicking goal.
PRlNCEToN'S SCORE A FLUkE.
! The heft of the counts piled up by
Harvard and Yale, gives no chance of
anbis for their opponents. but Dart
mouth was doped to walk away with a
victory at Princeton. The green noun
tain team scored hard after hard team
playing. smashing and worming their
way to>the Princeton 20 yard line, from
where Captain Garrish booted the ball
over the cross bar for a goal from
placement. Princeton's score was
luke, and came after Dartmouth actu-
ally had started up the field to another
count The weakness of Dartmouth
appeared to be a proneness to tumble
and the inability Of Quarterback Can
nell to return punts. Thielscher. who
did the kicking for Dartmouth, out
kicked the classy briggs, but his team
mates were unable to get the ball back
with the same consistency that marked
the work of Eddy, Princetons quarter.
WORK WAS RAGGED.
The work of Princeton was ragged.
After Eddy left the field because of an
injury, Ames stepped into his place
and gave poor exhibition, once los
ing chance for a possible touchdown
when he called for a forward pass in
the shadow of the Dartmouth goal
posts. He lost the ball, of course, and
Dartmouth Immediately kicked out of
danger.
Harvards regeneration, especially
since il comes at the expense of Cor
nell, BODIES nothing good for Yale and
Princeton, and 1t stands out as another
victory for the methods of Percy d.
Haughton. Yale merely lived up to
expectations in crushing Washington
and jefferson. The Eli eleven is en-
1oying popularity all over the east for
the first time in several years and they
walked through the visiting eleven in
way that bespeaks great strength
and versatility of play.
At the same time. Washington and
JeffeScon confirmed advance notices
by giving the Blue Il great deal of
trouble by its great work in forward
passing. This always has been one
of W. and Us strong points and 1t was
worked to the limit today.
Pittsburg kept right to the front
when 1t wrecked a mountain of hope
that had been built at Philadelphia
through the victory of the University
of Pennsylvania over Penn State
week ago. Warmers monster eleven
simply obliterated Pennsy, getting
away with a victory of 90 to O.
