 aeronautics this week Each team has u strong defense, and touchdown by straight football is likely to be a great rarity. if not an impossbility. The result may hinge upon e. forward pass or a drop lStok and, in the lat ter department, Bankart's men will do we'll to keep a watchful eye upon the exceedingly accurate toe of Jim Robertson. Robertson proved at the Polo Grounds that, As a punter and drop kicker, he Is among the elect. Whichever team wins is sure of Q high position in tho race for the champlonshlp. Colgate will still have Syracuse to meet, Nov 15, and Dart mouth will play Pennsylvania and Brown in succeeding weeks, meeting in Pennsylvania another team that is among the leaders for the seasons laurels.
 Many observers had thought that Lafayette, especially after it's splen- did showing against Princeton, which it held to a g to 6 score, would be able to give Pennsylvania much more of an argument than turned out to be the case last Saturday. Lafayette did, in fact, come up to expectations in the first half, in which Bells field goal represented the only points Penn could score. It was a different story for the remainder of the combat, which dem onstrated, in telling fash ion, Just what a magnificent foot ball machine Coach Bob FolWell has been able to build up among the Quakers.
 Penn's attack seemed resistless, and Captain Bell and his men showed a remarkable spirit of fight as they have in all their games this Fall. In fact, the Penn players som etimes al- low their fighting instincts to run away with them, as the incurrence of penalties to the amount of 140 yards in Saturdays game indicates. Match ed with an eleven on a level with it. self, not even the mighty Penn ma- chine could stand any such intliction of penalties as that.
 Pennsylvania plays Penn State this coming Saturday, and the game should give a good line on the comparative merits of Penn and Dartm outh Though Penn State was beaten by Dartm mouth, it made an excellent showing, and increased the general respect for it's capabilities by the manner in which it conquered Ursin- us by the one-sided score of 4S to
  Penns victim of Saturday, Lafayette, will meet Cornell this week, and the game should afford interesting com parisons between the ancient rivals.
 Ellis Show Improvement.
 Yale found it a simple matter 10 run up a score against Tufts on Sat urday, and the game was no real test for the New Haven eleven. The
 
 working better together, and the inn provement evidenced the show ing against Boston college will doubt less continue. The Blue has another easy game on it's schedule this week, with Maryland States as it's opponent
 Syracuses defeat by Washington and Jefferson was Saturdays biggest upset. In the previous games of w. and J.. which it won with case against kiskimin etas, Carnegie Tech, and Westminster, the calbrc of it's oppo- nents was not well enough known to give a real line on it's ability. Con- sequcntly the defeat of Syracuse was very much of surprise in view of Syracuse's impressive defeat of the powerful Pittsburgh team the previous week bv a score of 24 to 3. Two brilliant runs by Erickson, the w. and J. halfback, sent Syracuse hopes of | a championship eleven a-glimm ering. i Syracuse still has time to retrieve it's | laurcls, however, not so much in this weeks Brown game as in the game against Colgate the week following, and the energies of Buck O'Neill will be concentrated upon the possibility of defeating Colgate.
 Syracuse and Rutgers will play | Dol Election day, and Syracuse should win without great difficulty. Rutgers 1 does not seem to have rounded into ! tho form characteristic of Sanford elevens of other years, as the diff | cultN which it encountered in defeat i ing the New York Aggies, by IA to 1 0, last Saturday indicated.
 Pittsburgh recovered from it's de- feat by Syracuse sufficiently to con uuer the far-heralded and powerful l Georgia Tech eleven. The Golden i Tornado from the Southland was well l drilled in strategic football and at- 1 tackled fercely, and Pittsburgh's vic tory was a tribute to it's ability to ! come back after defeat and still pre- 1 serve a winning punch. Warmers men are sure to give a good account Of 1 themselves in their remaining games ! of the season.
 Supporters of the Army eleven perked up considerably, when their | favorites dOWned the team that one week earlier had conquered Yale. i Previous to the Boston college game, 1 the Army had been lacking in ability on the offense, but the Cadets showed great improvement in this respect Saturday. Coach Dalys teachings seem to be taking effect. The Army forwards had the illustrous Hcaphy well covered and it's defense was praiseworthy throughout the game. l Rnston Cnllnge is not StronC enOugh
