SURPRISES FOR
 FOOTBALL FANS
 LAST SATURDAY

New York, Oct. 20-Tirne was, in Eastern football years ago when, eX- ceptng in the games among them selves that came at the end of tha season, wherever representatives of the Big Four" were engaged against a so-called minor college eleven, one knew in advance that the big team would win. But the old order has changed, and football is the gainer by the process. With the charm of uncertainty as to the result adding spice to the game throughout the Fall, football interest is bound to grow greater with the public and with the colleges themselves
 Harvard had a bit of a surprise on Saturday, despite it's Jictory over Brown. The Crimson and it's sup porters had expected Q victory by a larger margin than a touchdown and goal. For the major part of the game, after the first few minutes
 of play, Browns fine and sturdy de- fense held Harvard safe throughout
 Harvard's defensive work was good, too, the main criticism of the team being with regard to lack of sustain ed power on attack, fumbling and a faltering of the interference when a
 chance to score was imminent Har- ward will have plenty of leisure to correct those faults in the next two weeks, as the games against Virginia and Springfield should not bother her greatly.
 Princeton had an easy afternoons workout against the light Rochester
 eleven, and, had she so wiIled, could probably have increased her total of thirty-four points, but the Tigers line still needs bolsEering up. It was the good individual work of the Princeton backs rather than the of fensive strength of the line, that was i responsible for rolling up the score for the Tiger. This will have to be
 Q strenuous week at Tigertown. Col l gate is to be met next Saturday, and
 a, meeting with Colgate at this time i is enough to worry any eleven. 1 In fact, the ease with which the ] eleven from Hamilton turned Cornell l back by score of q to 0, coupled i with it's defeat of Brown the preced- ! ing week by a score of II to o. must gain the highest respect for Bank 1 arts charges from any viewpoint 1 Colgate has great power on the of i fensive, including a brilliantly deveI- l oped forward passing attack. which was the main factor in CorneI's de- I feat
 1 Pennsylvania had an easier time 1 than had been expected when the | Quakers trimmed Swarthmore, 55 to ] '. Penn has been rolling up big i scores all season, but has yet to meet an opponent that could provide a
 serious test, apart perhaps fsom the | initial game on it's schedule with Buckneu. That test will come at the end of the week, according to all ap- i pearances, when Lafayette will be 1 enucountered. Lafayette held Prince
 ton to a g to $ score and had an easy l time Saturday beating Haverford, fl to 0. The Penn-Lafayette game may prove one of the best of the week. l But of all of Saturdays great achievements on the gridiron, that ot Syracuse, in overwhelming Glenn | Warmers famous University of Pitts l burgh eleven, looms most large and 1 luminous. It was the Panthers' ffrst defeat since 1914 and Nthe Panthers
 this year are no weddings Thei1 1 defeat of West Virginia by a score
 of 26 to 0 established that fact Ii
 was simply the tremendous drivire 9 power of the whole Syracuse team
 that made such a score as 24 to : possible against them. Syracuse has
 reason to rejoice in its eleven
