New-York tribune., 1920-11-15

now right on even terms with the
Pitt also having been tied in one ga,
For the Tigers the 1920 season is
over. They have donc exceptionally
we'll this fall. and it may be that they
list is drawn. We shall have to wait
until al of the returns arc in before
ranking Princeton, but this much is
ccrtain-the Orange and Black will
merit consideration for that top berth.
Meantime, Harvard must vanquish
Yale to gain any recognition for first
place, and even then the Crimson will
hardly deserve to be put on an even
footing with the Nassau students, who
have played the harder schedule, unless
Harvard trims the Blue by larger
score than Princeton did.
Penn State and Pittsburgh will meet
on Thanksgiving Day, and. OF course,
one Of these is bound to fall, excepting
:or The possibility of tie. This game
looms more important with each sue
ceeding week, and it promises to be one
of the greatest gridiron battles OF the
season.
We saw Penn State narrowly escape
being checked off by the Lehigh team,
one Of the .gamcst little elevens it -, has
been our pleasure to have seen. That
little bunch Of wildcats, coached by
Tom Ready, is a wonder, but of this
eleven we shall write some other time.
Suffice to say for the present, Lehlgh
put up a marvellous struggle against
State.
AS for State, it is a football team,
make no mistake about that. Not only
do these fellows possess all Of the nat
uraI skill and ability to play great
game of football. but they are one Of
<k Gnh n
saw. They are q whole outfit Of stars
with Way, Haines and Griffiths playing
the leading roles. We haven't seen any
better performers around this season
than these Anybody who makes the
trip to Pittsburgh on Thanksgiving
Day will be we'll repaid.
Now as to Yale and Princeton. We
certainly booted one that time. Looked
like Yale all the while TO us, but it
must have been q vastly different Tiger
eleven from that which we saw play
Washington and Lee, while for poor ola
Yale there are no excuses whatever. 1t
was simply outclassed. The Blue put
I'D a grand fight evidently, as we feit
that Il would, but the flesh couldn't do
what the spirit would.
Nevertheless, the New Haven STU.
dents can call the season success II
they are able to turn the tables on
writing it doesn't look as though they
had a ghost of chance, but stranger
things than Yale victory on Saturday
have occurred.
Crimson Has Easy Game
The Crimson eleven, largely com
posed of substitutes, had little trouble
in subduing Brown last week, which
makes the Cambridge team look even
more formidable than it did last week
or than it has at any other time this
fall. Two of the Big Three at least
have come back to their own this year.
Syracuse again was on the downward
aide OF the second biggest upset of the
season. First the Orange causes
shock in the football world by losing
to Holy Cross, then it comes back with
a whirlwind victory over Washington
and jefferson, and Immediately after is
beaten by Maryland. The upstate eleven
is a mystery TO US and its zigzag course
is almost beyond comprehension. Just
a week ago the Orange looked like an
easy victor in the coming Colgate
tussle; now it appears as though the
Hamilton eleven has an even chance.
Poor old Penn. plugging its weary
way through a rather disastrous year,
ook another trouncing, this time from
Dartmouth, which showed to better ad
vantage in this contest than at any
other time this campaign. Since its
slump in mid-season the Hanover stu
cents have come along rapidly and now
rank with the best in the country.
Penn. playing Columbia next week and
Cornell after that, appears to be in for
a tough time.
The Army and the Navy got plenty
of good running exercise against Bow
doin and the University Of South Caro-
lima respectively, the service elevens
winning by big scores. As they come
Gown the stretch to their annual game,
both teams look to be about on a par
and, what is more, each seems to be
much better eleven than it was last
year. Meaning great bout when they
meet.
Boston College, as was expected. had
by beating Tufts. while Holy Cross
had an easy time with Colby. Lafa-
yette won from Villanova without un-
due exertion, and has an advantage
over Lehigh in that respect for next
Saturdays game. Bucknell was also
an easy victor, Gettysburg being the
victim.
Up in New England. Williams, in it's
annual struggle with Wesleyan, ran
mp 80 points, while it's opponents we're
scoring two touchdowns. Amherst,
Williams's chief rival, meantime was
walloping Trinity, and up in Vermont
Middlebury was beating Vermont in
their annual struggle by 6 to 0. Col
gate found st. Bonaventure easy and
scored so points, while Swarthmore
swamped Delaware.
One of the big surprises Of the day
Was the trouncing Georgetown received
at the hands of the speedy Georgia
Tech eleven.
