DEAR SIR: The War Camp Com:

the soldier on leave in the communities
adjacent to the big training camps IN

letics and good sportsmanship.
The fund Is providing places to rest

You are an expert on condition
The fund is doing outside the camps
what the Y. NJ c. A., the Y NJ III. A.

and worthest contributions of the day

Georgia Tech Spurts

Georgia Tech jumped into prominence
when II buried Penn under a 41-to-0
score and kept up the good work by de.
feating every one else. At that, Pitts
record seems to be the better one and
Tech must be contented with second
place.
Penn finished third in the list be-
cause at the end of the season she had
one of the best elevens in the country.
After getting off TO poor start the team
got together and surprised the football
world by tuining two perfectly clean
states. The first to go was Dartmouth,
and then came Michigan. While the
critics were predicting 5O-to-O score,
with the Wolverines on the long end.
Folwells men upset the dope and walked
off with the game, l6 to 0.
Howard Berry was an important fac
tor in Penn's success. His individual
play in the Michigan game was wonder
! full and he also starred In the Cornell
battle. Hobey Light. Captain-elect Bert
Bell, Straus. Alex Wray, Heinie Miller
and the Penn line also did good work.
Syracuse Lost Only One
Syracuse comes next on the list be-
cause only one game was lost Buck
/ O'Neil's men triumphed over Rutgers by
the score of IA to 10, thus spelling San-
( ford's record. Sanford, by the way, was
responsible for Rutgers defeat on that
day. In the first half Robertson, the
Syracuse center and star of the team
was disqualified for slugging. The score
was then to o in Rutgers favor ana
Sandy was asked If he would allow tne
disqualified man to return. The nut
gers coach was willing, and all houert-
son did was to block punt ana ran ON
the ball for touchdown ana make II
possible to score another.
