paii Is to cross your opponents goal
nhe' and If one team does it on two
onward passes while the other fellow
iushes his way to the line, the frst
- a just as good, in our opinion. The
UWeuuction lc we make from the Lehigh-
west Virginia tussle is that both hat
tied each other to a draw. that both
are hghting elevens of the first class.
and that both will bear watching this
season.
From a general survey of the re-
suits 1t looks to us as though Prince
ton got the best of the deal Satur-
gay. 1t received real opposition
from Swarthmore, and yet it managed
70 win by comfortable margin. Where
faie and Harvard had nothing but
w,alk-overs, games that didn't give
them as much practice as the scrubs
would have offered, the Tigers got a
real struggle one that showed Roper
ana his assistants the weaknesses, or
some OF them at least, in the Orange
and Black machine. The Nassau stu
dents are going to benefit from their
opening contest.
Harvard's easy victory over Maine
doesn't mean much, for the Orono
eleven Is not strong as college teams
go this season. There isn't any doubt
but that the Crimson has improved in
Its play since last week. but how much
we won't know until later.
Looks Bad for Colgate
Considerable surprise was registered
by Susquehanna' 90 tie with Colgvatc.
While we expected Colgate to win. there
was no reason to think it would have a
clnch, because the Hamilton students
appear to be in for q rather disastrous
season 1Ct ..l. 1
have enjoyed in the last several years.
Without Gillo, West, Anderson, Wat
klns, Barton and Laird, and with
out Larry Bankhart at the helm, Col
gate doesn't look any moro like the
word beater it has been than does
some small high school. No band Of
rockies, no matter what their ability,
can replace these stars in one year nor
even in two.
Penn was rather fortunate, it seems,
IN getting away with Bucknell at T to @.
bucknell students, one and ALL accom-
panied their team, believing it was 90
ing to take fall out of the Red and
blue, and but for tumble by the Buck
nell captain their hopes might have been
reaIlzed. Helsman has no easy task
orllilng his charges for the tough ones
TO come, but he is working diligently
ana, TO all intents and purposes, is at
least progressing. No criticism of the
1ormer Georgia Tech mentors work
can be made until he has had fair
cnance TO show his worth at Penn,
"hIch means one season at least
Cornell almost gave Dobie ca,sa IN

narrowly escaping defeat at the hands
Oh ns1 g Rochester. But Dobe, as in
the cNse OF Helsman, cannot accomplish
wonders IN the space of a few weeks
I me. lie, too, is progressing and the
olg Red team undoubtedly will show
improvement as the winter approaches.
Surprise at State College

The Army killed two weaklings in
