vanced combination. If Rutgers has
| a weak team it will be the first time
| in many years.
Delaware College made an astonish-
ingly good showing against the Uni
| versity of Pennsylvania. Down at COL
| lege Park last Wednesday the New
| ark aggregation did not seem strong
enough to hold any big university
eleven to less than fifty points. Not
! only did the light linemep. who wore
I the Delaware colors hold their
stronger opponents to 35 points, but
! two of the ouchdowns made by the
Quakers were the result of blocked
| kicks.
George Washington plays Delaware
mere october 9. and, judged on the ap-
pearance of the Delaware squad last
wednesday in the scrimmage against
maryland. the Hatchetites should not
nave much trouble winning How
ever, the showing against Penn puts
an entirely different aspect on the
game and the Newark men NAV give
the Hatchetites terrific. struggle.
| While the University of MARYLAND
gave Randolph a real drub-
| plng In the opening Of the foot ball
season here, too much cannot be said
displayed by the boys from Ashland.
va They were playing just as hard
at the finish as at the start not
w1thstanding the big score against
them Ontweighed and outplayed, they
| STUCK to their position as if a cham
pionship were at stake. Incidentally.
Coach Goff deserves considerable
| creuit 1or having got his men into
eooo condition so early, as they stood
up exceptionally well against the on

powerful combination.
i Three games last week. despite the
fact that they opened the season,
proved anything but easy offerings
Tor the teams supposed to win rather
easily In the first place. Holy Cross
forced Harvard to the limit, the Grim
son being hard put to get a victory
py the narrow margin of goal
kicked from the field; the three points
thus registered being all that were
scored Rutgers got a terrible set
back in its game with Brsinus, losing
by to IA, a game it probably listed
I as a rather easy opener.es And West
| Virginia University eleven had it's
hands fun to win over West Virginia
:! Wesleyan by two touchdowns. The
I university team, was helped in its
! victory by forward passes of the op-
position. which were intercepted.
North Carolina State. Virginia Poly.
technic Institute and Virginia started
| their schedules with about the same
kind of Victories over elevens of
somewhat similar type. The 23-to-0
contest won by North Carolina State
from Davidson probably was the most
creditable of the three, as neither
Hampden-S Sidney nor William and
Mary. which were whipped by v. p. 1.
| and Virginia. 35 to o, and 81 to o, is
as strong as Davidson usually is. A
former North Carolina State man
made the statement few days ago
that the Raleigh line averages more
than 1s5 and the backfield more than
10.
North Carolina State comes this
| way the next two Saturdays. This
week it continues to Annapolis to
hold forth for an afternoon of bat
tling against the Naval Academy and
| next week it stops here to try it's
strength against that of Georgetown.
The Raleigh eleven expects a differ
ent score at Annapolis from that
which resulted from the contest with
| the Navy a year ago. Bill Fetzer, ver-
satile coach of the Raleigh team,
| in talking of the 1919 Navy game
and the 49-to-0 beating hung on his
! team, said: Its going to be a little
different this year"
