New York November 11.-One of the strangest features of the present eastern
 college football season is the spectacle
 of the United States naval and military academies turning out the strongest elevens in several seasons, while much larger institutions are unable to support teams, according to official statements, owing to the pressure of war work among the students Under normal con- ditions the sailors and soldiers have but scanty time for gridron training as com pared with the periods devoted to foot ball work by the average college and uni versity squad. That the two academies should be able to put such powerful com binations on the field as those which represent the army and navy this season is little short of remarkable.
 That such is the case, however, is am- ply proved by the records for the season up to the close of the month of October. In this period of about five weeks of play the middies have run up total of 2S9 points in five games and lead all the other eastern elevens in this respect by a comfortable margin. The cadets have not been quite so active in this respect, being tied with the University of Penn sylvania for fifth place.
 The Navy also possesses in Ingram the best individual scorer to date among the teams of the same section. Ingram has collected 105 points as his contribution | to the success of the Middies eleven. His nearest competitor, strange to say, is l Olphant of the Army. who has scored 66 points. In both these cases the scores were made through touchrdowns and l goals from touchdowns alone. In all round scoring McCreight of Washington and Jefferson and Meehan of Syracuse are the leaders. McCreight has scored 1 four touchdowns; six goals from touch- downs and four field goals. Meehan has collected four touchdowns, seven goals | from touchdowns and two field goals.

Those Who Achieve Greatness

James Bryce in the Youths Com
 panion.
 The merits by which men of action rise to greatness are four--intellect, energy, courage and independence. When those four are united in the same person and in quite exceptional mea sure. they raise him high above the crowd. Other men defer to his opinion, trust his predictions. repeat his phrases, rely on his firmness, take him as their chief. If he succeeds Tn what he undertakes, each success con with halo of prestige. He becomes 9 power Of the four qualities enumer- ated, that which most impresses others is independence, because 1t is so rare. The man who, perceiving difficulties and dangers, will face them alone, in reliance on his own judgment and force, is the natural and inevitab ble leader. If he is large of soul. true to his principles and to his friends, he will win affection and an even fuller measure of confidence. But the im- pression of that indefinable thing we call greatness depends after all chief ly on the impression that he makes Of the power of initiative, of an unshak able resolution. The mass of mankind want someone to follow. someone in whcse hands they can feel themselves safe, as crew and passengers do when they see their captain cool and daunt less In the widest storm.

Defeat of Alabama and Au- burn Surprise of South.
 Sewanee Undefeated
TECH MACHINE IS
 TULANE'S MASTER
Vandy ard Auburn Meet Saturday Tech Playing Carlisle Indians. Auburn's Defeat First Nota-
 ble Surprise of the Season

Impressive scores by several of
 the major cievcns against their re-
 spective opponents and the first
 defeats of the season for Auburn
 and Alabama featured in the re-
 suits of the weekend football
 games in the south last week.
 Georgia Tech and the University
 of the South stand out ns the only
 unbeaten teams in the southeast
 and central south. while similar
 honors are shared in the southwest
 by Tcxas A. nnd M. and the Uni-
 versity of Arkansas.
 The southern football season thus far has been marked by few upsets, and crit les point to the Davidson win yester- day over the heavy Plainsmen as per- haps the most notable surprise sprung to date. The North Carolinians not only repeated their performance of Il years ago. when they won from Auburn, bu. bettered their previous score by 5 points The Donahue players showed d lack of Seneralship at critical stages in the game and apparently were dismaycd d over the lightning overhead attack of their light opponents.
 In winning over Alabama the Wander bilt eleven came back into the fold of teams that are likely to figure in titular honors and the victory at Birmingham m has at least placed the Commodores iii line for even break with their tra- ditional foe, Sewanee, whom they play on Thanksgiving. The Tigers played Alabama a 3 to 3 tie. Should Vanderbilt succeed in defeating Auburn, whom they play this week, the Nashville collegaas then will loom up more powerfully against Sewanee.
 whelmed the University of Mississippi yesterday by larger score than did Mississippi A. and M. and L. s. U., piling up more points than did Alabama against the Oxford players. although the Crimson kept their goal clear while Mississippi scored seven points on the Tigers.
 Georgia Tech continued its victorious march and smothered Tulane at New Orleans yesterday. From accounts of the game, the spectacular playing of the Jackets which has been a feature of their contests this year. was lacking, but the work of the locals backfield re- suited in a larger score over the Olive and Blue than in the game between these two elevens last season. Tech plays is second and last scheduled intersao- tional game of the season here this week with Carlisle. The Indians this year ap- parently are not up to their usual form having made a poor showing against the Navy. West Virginia and the Army.
 Washington and Lee had little trouble with Roanoke college and ran up an impressive score, while Mississippi A and M. won over Kentucky, 14 to O. and Texas A. and M. nosed out a vic tory over Baylor. Clemson college had little difficulty in winning over Citadel and South Carolina. after it's poor show ing against Erskine, camc back and easily won over Furman. West Virginia showed unexpected form and piled up 2 points against V. P. I.'s 3.

When the jinx remained camped on the trail of, the University of Alabama foot ball team Saturday afternoon, fate jerked two of the Crimson stars out of the bat tie. And the sad part about the whole affair. is they will not don their pig skin array again this season.
 Daniel Boone, the plucky left end. had his face badly disfigured. His right cheek was ripped open, several stitches being taken, while equally as many were necessary to place his lower lip back in normal position. hi addition to all of these hurts. Daniel also lost a half dozen of his perfectly good lower teeth. Boone displayed notable grit in remain ing in. the game as long as he did, for it took three different mishaps to lay him low.
 Elmer Blair's football career was prob ably ended when he suffered a broker right leg early in the first period. Blair has been, piaying splendid brand of hall for the Crimson and his absence will be; greatly missed.

The game Vas played Saturday afternoon.
 The game was bitterly fought. For the entire first half neither team scored a first down. The Blues talied in the third period on a series of cleyerly exc cuted forward passes.
 Camp Shelby tied the score in the last two minutes of play as the result of a long forward pass. Only nine first downs were made the entire game. five being credited to the Richmond boys.

 FAMED AUSTRALIAN : SWIMMER IS KILLED ! IN RECENT BATTLE Cecil Healy, Possessor of Several Swimming Rec ords, Meets Death on
 European Front

New York, November 11.-Another fa- nous Australian athlete has made the great sacrifice, for, according to late re- ports from the European front Cecil Healy was killed in recent charge. At the time of his death Healy was an ad- jutant, having achieved an excellent rec. ord for bravery and resoudcefulness under stress Of severe fighting Healy was one of the best of the Australian middle distance swimmers and at the time of his death held several Antipo- dean records at distances ranging from 150 to 400 yards. At one time he possessed the worlds record, for 150 yards in open water, but his time was bettered by D. P. KahanamolSu, the Hawaiian expert recently.
