SYRACUSE TAKES MEASURE
 OF COLGATE TEAM

The Orange banners of Syracuse were flung to the breeze over the Ma room at Colgate in Archbold Stadium Saturday afternoon. as Buck O'Neill's S fiery Syracuse eleven ripped and tore and fought its way to thrilling vic tory while. some 35.000 frenzied spec tators packed the snow swept stands and cheered. The score was 13 to T.
 The victory of the Orange was well won and not even the most rabid Col gate enthusiast could argue against the evident facts developed on the field of play. Throughout the after noon,. save for few gripping mo- ments in the first half, and in the last moments of the game when desperate Colgate resorted to a veritable barrage of forward passes iG an effort to turn the tide. the Orange was master. It's two touchdowns were earned by hard, well directed play.
 Colgate in the last period worked the ball down into Syracuse's territory by use of the forward pass and it's four split formation until it rested on the L. yard line. Then three times the red menace charged. only to be met with a rock-ribbed defence. On the last rip however, Laird carried the leather un- til part of it rested on the last chalk line. Under the rules of course a ball on the goal line is legally over it, and so the Maroon counted. Capt. West easily kicked the goal.

HARVARD SECOND STRING
 MEN BEAT TUFTS 23-o

Harvard, with many substitutes in the line, had little difficulty in defeat ing Tufts Saturday at Cambridge, 23 to G., although there was no scoring during the first half. and at the end Of the third period Harvard led only 3 to 0. In the fourth quarter. how ever, witH Arnold Horween, who was substituted for Hamilton at right halfback, furnishing the driving pow er, Harvard scored three touchdowns, two of which were followed by goals.
 Many funables and poor bunting by Tufts contributed to her defeat. In the first half Tufts worked several long forward passes for substantial gains but in the second half the Harvard de- fense stiffened against this form of at tack. Harvard scored a field goal in the third period after Church had brought the ball well into Tufts terri tory by long runs. Fulton replaced Johnson at quarterback and booted a goal from the 25-yard line. Two pre- vious attempts at field goals by Grat- wick had failed. Tufts also failed to score field goal from the 40 yard line.
 In the fourth period Church again brought the ball far into Tufts terri tory by long runs and Horweeh buck ed the line for the first touchdown. The same tactics were immediately repeated. Nelson carrying the ball through for another touchdown. The third touchdown was also made by Nelson, who scored after Smith of Tufts had fumbled on his 15 yard line and Harvard had worked 9 forward pass to the three yard line.

Should the United States acquire the island of Yap that island will not be an isolated example of American proprietorship in the Pacific" says bulletin from the Washington head quarters of the National Geographic society.
 Everybody knows of the Philip pines, but not so many folk know of this country's other South Sea insular possessions, small but numerous. These include Guam, Wake. Midway. and some 75 of the Guano Islands. not to mention a. portion of the Samoa Group"
 In the American Samoan islands are to be found Americas South Sea soldiers, who are described in a com munication to The Society by Lorena MacIntyre Quinn. as follows:
 When thinking of the insular pos- sessions of the United States, we are apt to lose sight of the fact that our flag flies over a group of six tiny isl- ands in the South Seas, comprising what is known as American Samoa. Here our government maintains a naval station. on the Island of Tutuila, at Pago, Pago, one of the finest and safest harbors in the South Seas.

DARTMOUTH LOSES HARD
 FOUGHT GAME TO BROWN

Dartmouth lost all claim to the east ern gridiron championship when her team was defeated by Brown at Braves field. Boston. Saturday, to G..

THE TIGER HUMBLEs
 THE MIGHTY BULLDOG

A substitute fullback. who few even thought would get into the game long enough to make his letter, snatched victory out of the hands of Yale Sat urday afternoon at the Bowl before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a gridiron contest in the enormous football enclosure and enabled Princeton to win it's first game in eight years against the Bull dog by the score of 13 to 6.
 Jim Scheerer, the 20-year- sec ond string Tiger backfield player, is today the favorite son of old Nassau and his name will go down in Prince ton gridiron linked with that of the immortal Sam White for having taken advantage of Yale mishap and turn ed it into score for the Orange and Black.
 The touchdown which proved to be Princeton's margin >of victory came with only four more minutes to play in the last quarter. Previously Princeton had drawn first blood with field goal in the initial quarter and after frantic struggle Yale had been able to drive it's way sufficiently close to the Tigers goal to allow the re- doubtable Braden to boot two drops that gave Eli three-point margin.
 Snarling and snapping like the fight ing cat it swears by. the Princeton machine had come back with every available ounce of energy in the last half and Murrey. the sure fire kicker of the visitors had been injected into the fray just long enough to even the count. This was the setting for Schee- Ier's accomplishment. Garrity had just kicked off to Yale and Old Eli had it's first down on the 31 yard line.
 On the initial rush the sure-footed Neville started on an end run but when Bigler dived towards him Joe turned and tossed the oval over to Kempton whom he thought was fol- lowing in his tracks. The peg was far out of iFTdo's reach. however, and as the Yale quarter wildly lunged at the ball Scheerer shouldered hi into one side. eagerly gathered the bouncing pigskin to his bosom. and raced 20 ! wards for a touchdown with not sin gle Yale tackler between him and the Blue uprights. Trimble further in- creased the count by a goal as the Orange and Black adherents wildly applauded.
 Thus was Yale beaten in a game that will always stand as one of the hardest fought combats in which these two rival colleges have engaged in. To and fro the advantage shifted with Princeton on top and looking like a certain victor one minute only to have the Blue turn and fight it's way to the front the next minute. Seasoned foot bah followers who have seen gridiror | games since the inception of the spor' freely admitted that yesterdays con- test was in a class by itself flor pro- viding heart breaking and pulse quick | eninC passages.

PENN AND PAINTERS BATTLE
 TO gro 3TlE SCORE

Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh uni versity football teams played a to 3 tie on Franklin field Saturday. Captain Bell scored PennsylvaniaS three points with a field goal in the first pe- riod. A goal from placement by Hast ings of Pittsburgh, even the score in the second quarter.
 It was a clean, hard and fast game, both elevens having narrow escapes. The Pitt, team showed to advantage during the first half, but in the second it was Pennsylvania that displayed fine staying qualities and versatility in play.
 Pennsylvania's three points came shortly after Davies. of Pittsburgh, fumbled pass on his own 40 yard line. Pennsylvania worked the ball a short distance toward the Pittsburgh goal, and failing to further budge the fighting Partners. Capt. Bell dropped a field goal from the 30 yard line.
 In~the second period Hastings made two more tries at placement goal, first from Pennsylvania 50 yard-line, which failed. The second. from the Quaker 37-yard mark. evened the score.
 In the third period Bell. Brunner and II. Miller starred in forward passing.
