! almost entirely changed from the way

| Brewer kicked two goals from the
E! field which We're brilliantly executed.
/ The first was about difficult as
usually is attempted 1t WAS from
I difficult angle and from the i5-yard
| line. The second WAS from the center
of the field. but was IS yards away
| from the goal. When il is considered
that the two goals Were made with Il
| ball that was half covered with mud.
Brewers performance was all the more
remarkable.
About SUu6 persons watched the con-
test. a remarkable showing considering
| the conditions. Had Hopkins not been
defeated by 81. Johns the Satur
day previous TO Thanksgiving there

The work Of Folger. star back at the
University Of North Carolina. appears,
| from the reports. TO have been re
spousibIe FOR the first victory obtained
by an eleven rcprese nting that inStitu-
ton over the University Of Virginia
since l9". \ dash of fifty yards
through the entir" Virginia eleven by
Fo1ger scored 81 touchdown and made
him the hero of Cardinals triumph.
/ The game WIS rather poorly played, if
accounts OF il are to be taken entire.
and. the exhibition 10y the teams as
teams was L"iow the usual standard OF
the struggles between the two clevcnS.
The biggest surprise Of the foot ball
games of yesterday was that sprung
by Colgate III defeating Brown by such
q wide. margin. The i'runonianS We're
unable to make an impression against
the New York erS. and did not stop the
iins plunging game that was DELIVERED
against them. Browns fast lodging
backtield seemed to have been consid-
erably Handicapped BY the poor c"ndi-
tion of the footing. but even with that.
such a one-siued defeat could not have
been looked for by anybody Yale and
Harvard Went down before Brown;
and the last mentioned was looked
upon wing ~ith Pittsburgh for
championship honors. The defeat yes
-terday. though. eliminates Brown. and
Colgate had previously lost t" Yale
leaving Pittsburgh as the one big
team Of the year
I'ittsburgh's one-sded victory over
Penn State places it in a position to
claim. and rightfully. the champion
ship honors. Any eleven that can
trounce Penn State by 81 to is worthy
Of all the houurs that can he bestowed
upon ii. Pittsburgh has proved itself
the best eleven in the country by every
possible method OF comparing scores.
Of course. it VIII be argued that it
did not play through as hard Il SEIZED
nlc AS Yale, and that il did not have
10 20 against either Princeton or Har-
ward. But if Pitt had played Prince
ton and Harvard, the chances are that
it would have won from both.
Pittsburgh is paying Glen Warner
pretty close to SO, 900 year to coach
its foot ball team, and every cent Of it
is well invested. Pitt in the last two
seasons has not lost a game. and teams
which previously figured as better than
even contenders against it have been
Walloped SO dccisiVely that no ques-
ton is left as 10 the superiority of thc
winner. ii any coach has 'deliVered
the goods more successfully than Glen
Warner he has yet to be found. War
ner stands cut with Haughtou as the
most successful foot hall mentors
reaching the game today. If some OF
the so-called big universities d" not
think Pitts foot ball team is S strong
Us theirs. I'itt uudoubtedln will show
great willingness 10 make arrange
mcnts to argue the question with them
next fall.
L The reunsy lyania eleven made good
all the things that hay" been cl&imed
for ii in the la st few days. and won
from Cornell by decisive score. Penn
was the favorite. and it proved its
right TO the edge by outplaying the
Itnacans ia almost every department
Even Shiverick. great punter though
The Penn team gained more in rushing
the ball and in forward passing than
, Cornell. PENIS victory yesterday was
the first it has won over Ccrnell since
HI912.
