l the tie finish. It was not figured that ! a defense which yielded 20 points to Dartmouth could hold Pitt without q touchdown. That is what happened, this being the second time in five years that Pitt had failed to cross the goal line of an opposing eleven. Syra- cuse held the Partners to a field gonl earlier in the season. This gamo closed the activities of Penn until Thanksgiving Day, when the Red and Blue meets Cornell It is not likely that this opposition will prove too much for the FolWell machine Pitt faces Carnegie Tech Saturday and should win handily. The Penn State game on Thanksgiving Day will fur nish the Panthers with plenty of exercise.
 The Army and the Navy elcvCnS did nothing that throws any light on the outlook for the big game at the Polo Grounds a week from Saturday. lNavy's total Of 121 points against Colby lacks impressiveness for the simple reason that the opposition must be woefully weak before half of that figure is threatened An odd feature of this game is that the mid shipmen, with the ball in enemy ter ritory about all of the time--enough, in fact to score Is touchdowns-did not score a goal from the field. Either the Navy kicking is poor, or a fine ! opportunity at drop-kicking was neg 1 lected. Field goals have decided many 1 Army-Navy games in the past, and it ! would seem that some exercise in this ! specially might have been had to ad- 1 vantage.
 The Army's victory of 62 to over 1 Villa Nova was large enough to indi- cate that the West Point attack may | be improving, since the total was more than double any previous Army score. But, as in the case of the Navy, the opposition was so weak that ! figures mean little.
 Student of Scores Goes Frantic. The Amherst rout by Williams was 1 another of the days surprises and ! added to the case against the compar- ! ative score. On successive SaturdayG | Wesleyan had beaten Williams, 16 tc 0, and had lost to Amherst, 9 to z | These scores created the impression that Amherst might have an edge or her old~rival in the annual classic, but 1 EOyntOns team upset the dope, ran 1 wild against the Amherst eleven, anG won, 30 to 0.
 Stevens registered it's sixth straight
 victory of the year in the trump
 over New York University ant
 clinched the title of champions of the
 metropolitan group. This game added
 to the uncertainty in regard to th'
 game between Columbia and New
 York University next Saturday
 Against Union, N. Y. [. won, 17 to 6
 while the Schenectady team held Go
 lumbia to a scoreless tie Agains l Stevens, the Blue and White made { more impressive showing than did the Violet: Stevens beat ColunrfJia, t3 ~te
 o, and followed with a 24-3 victory over ~. Y. U.
 Columbia was defeated by Wes- leyan, as had been expected, but Coach DaWson's charges performed ir way that gives promise of a better finish than had been looked for after the defeat by Stevens. The Blue ant White at times played the Middletowr
 team off it's feet, and scored two touchdowns, something that no othel
 team has been able to do. Up to Sat
 urday the Wesleyan goal line had no
 been crossed, field goals accounting
 for all of the scoring against the Con.
 neCticut collegians.
 Georgetown, conquerors of th( Navy a week before, invaded Georgia and ran poor second to Georgia Tech. This result was surprising ir
 the size of the score, as the Yellow Jackets had not been rated so highly The defeats of Cornell by Penn State
 Holy Gross by Boston College and
 Rutgers by West Virginia had been
 expected. j..
