forward passing. changed the Prince
ton game from a defeat to a tie, and
this same Buell. repeated against Penn
State. In the last few minutes of the
fourth period he shot a beautifully
timed forward pass to Churchhill at
the extreme end of the field, tying the
score. Churchhill is one of the fastest
!, backs on the Harvard squad. He Is
fifteen pounds heavier than last year
and very dangerous in a broken field.
Both teams played splendid offensive
football and neither team could hold
the other on the defense. The game
opened as II Harvard was going to win
!. In walk. but after they had scored
two touchdowns, the Pennsylvanians
came back with a terrible rush and
took the lead until near the end. when
Harvard generalship and fresh men
told the tale.
Yale Is Coming.
The Yale team is slowly finding
itself. This was demonstrated Satur.
day. And what is more, Yale backs
know how to FORWARD pass and how
to defend against 1t. Yale's two scores
were the direct result Of the pass. In
one case, Aldrich intercepted an
Army forward pass and ran nearly the
length of the field, and in the other
case Aldrfch threw beautiful pass to
Beckett for Yale's other score. Yale's
defense and line play have always
been formidable. When a good for.
ward pass attack is added, the team
is going to be hard to beat.
Penn revenged itself for the 27-7
defeat at the hands OF v. M. I. last
yea The Pennsylvania team put up
the best exhibition of football they
have shown this year, while v. M. I.
was handicapped by the loss of a cou-
pie of linemen. The Penn offense was
versatile and battling In the extreme.

was surprised at Ohio States 14-0
victory over Michigan. The Oberiin
defeat must have been blessing in
disguise for Ohio. Georgetown's run
away game against Hoiy Cross looks
remarkable. In fact, each succeeding
Saturday, shows how impossible II is
to tell anything by comparative scores.
Tie Looks Funny.
Dartmouth and Cornell both played
good games, and had no trouble In de-
feating Columbia and Colgate. The
Swarthmore-Frankli and Marshall
TT tie looks funny after Swarth-
more's game against Penn. Center
College had a romp against Tran
sylvania and the University of Cali
fornia had no difficulty in defeating
Oregon.
The games last Saturday give
pretty good idea of the comparative
strength Of the teams in different sec
tions. From what they have shown to
date, pick Yale, the Navy and
Pittsburgh as the most formidable In
the East with Penn State. Dartmouth
and Harvard in the second class,
Princeton, the Army and Lafayette
third, and Pennsylvania and Cornell
the best of the fourth string. Georgia
Tech has the strongest team in the
South with the University of Georgia
close second. don't include
Georsetown In this ranking because
they are really in a section Of their
own.
On the forms shown Saturday, Chi
cago has the best team in the Con-
ference. In the Missouri Valley, It
looks as II Nebraska, Oklahoma and
Missouri will fight 1t out for first
honors while the University Of Cali
fornia IL undoubtedly the strongest
team In the far West.
