PENSY'S DEFEAT
 SHOCKS ADMIRERS
And Tigers Downfall Was Also
 Unlocked for

Football played true to it's 1919 form on Saturday in the matter of upsets and surprises. It has been a hard season for the gridron dope sterS, but an eminently interesting one, for the uncertainty and genera topsy-turViness that it has developed. & Nearly every prophet of the game III advance of last Saturday had picked the University of Pennsylyania tO beat Penn State, and many of them thought Princeton had at least a fair chance of defeating West Virginia. None expected such an overwhelming ! defeat for the Tiger as 25 to 0. That Lafayette should crush Cornell by such score as 21 to ? was also a bit &of a shock.
 In fact, the only outstanding game among the more important ones of Saturday that did not go contrary to I predictions was the Colgate-Dart ' mouth game, and that was simply because, few had the temerity to &plck winner in that case with any amount of assurance. The general &opiniCn seemed to be that with the teams evenly matched, result would be in doubt. That particular game is still in as much in doubt as ever, and the teams are still as evenly matched.
 Prior to Saturday there were still eight undefeated elevens in the East |I1arvard, Pennsylvania, Lehigh, Wes- leyan, Stevens, Navy, Dartmouth, Col gate, and Washington and Jefferson. The first November games of the season eliminated Pennsylvania and Lehigh from the list and, of those Remaining, neither Wesleyan nor Stevens has encountered or will en- counter teams of a calibre to warrant N, honors. That leaves the problem up &to Harvard, Navy. Dartm outh, Col #gate, and w. & J. Dartmouth and Colgate, having played the most diff fcult schedules of the five, are in dual lead for the time being.
 Hazy Outlook This Week.
 The situation like the railroad time table. is subject to change without notice. Dartmouth will have to meet Pennsylvania this week, and w. & J. must encounter Glenn Warmers smashing Pittsburgh outfit. Either of those games may change the comple- tion of the situation materially, and he results of both may safely be Forecast as doubtful.
 Harvard, the Navy, and Colgate may be counted upon to preserve their collection of victories intact this week. Harvard, on form, should add Considerably to the woes of the down. rodden Tiger, and a result other han a Crimson victory would furnish one of the greatest upsets of a sea- son of upsets. The Navy ought to be able to conquer Georgetown readi- By enough, and Colgate, after it's suc- cession of grilling contests with Brown, Cornell, Princeton, and Dart fnouth should find it's meeting with Rochester almost like a Saturday aft ernoon off. Colgate deserves at least one easy game on it's schedule, and Twill doubtless make good use of it perfect it's preparations for the Etrenuous battle with Syracuse that S to follow a weak later.
 Harvard continued on the even tenor of it's way Saturday, with vic tory over the Springfield Y. M. C. A. college. The Harvard schedule mak- ers like those of Yale saw to it that he games arranged prior to those with Princeton and Yale were not of a calibre seriously to offer the dan ger of defeat. Yale, in this respect came a cropper in encountering the Boston college eleven, but in advance Boston college looked like easy pick ing for the Blue, and, in fact, would probably have lost five games out of six to the New Haven eleven if that many games could have been played his fall.
 Tigers Schedule Harder.
 Whether schedules of that nature are in the best interest of Harvard and Yale is, of course, a matter for Harvard and Yale to decide But if both were to list at least two gam es other than those between themselves h ms of firct tc o1o ivy r1 'eputaton, such as Penn, Penn State, w. and J., Syracuse, Colgate, Dart mouth, Lafayette, ct al, it would add greatly to the value of their season S work in the eyes of the general foot ball public. Tn this connection it is to be noted that Princeton is far from hdopting any policy of keeping her gridiron warriors in cotton batting, so to speak, until her games with Harvard and Yale The same spirit Df willingness to meet any worthy koe available is likewise in evidence among the other leading teams of the East Few will deny that such a spirit ought to be encouraged.
 Harvard has yet to be scored on this fall but she has encountered no team excepting Brown, which she defeated to O. that was able to offer her seri ous resistance. and Brown has beer beaten by Colgate, 14 to 0, and b9 Syracuse, 13 too 0. Yet there
