The New York herald., 1921-10-17

Some first string men had been sent
away to Annapolis and West Point. Hid
den. at left tackle, put up a good game
and was on his toes every minute. So
was Cruikshank. left guard. who. 1t will
be recollected. was regular in the early
games last season.
On the right side Guernsey and Diller
did all that was expected Of them. Ian
dis looks like a fixture at centre. Cross,
who was centre last season. was sent in
for Guernsey. so Jones apparently is
trying to convert him into a guard. If
Lands keeps going at his present speed
Jones will be able to afford the expert
ment.
The Yale backfleld seems too good to
be true. 1t combined great speed with
great rushing power, great versatility
and tremendous threat. O'Hearn and
Aldrich can kick, throw or carry the
ball. Jordan is great runner and
plunger. and Wight Is remarkable line
bucker and broken field runner.
Let us not forget Neidlinger freshman
star Of last season. and Speiden, the full
back. Mallory, who has been used as a
defensive halfback and has not carried a
ball yet. was away for the afternoon.
but he was not missed. Yale seems to be
coming along. but let us wait until the
battle with the Army next Saturday to
pass mid-season Judgment.
The Army, knowing that It was being
watched by Yale. beat Wabash. but did
not rise to great heights in so doing
The plays of the cadets We're extremely
elementary, and they played hard only
when they had to. Wabash was strong
on defence. but 1t presented no problems
on attack.
Pennsylvania, held to only two touch
downs in two games with minor foes,
Is worrying, and has reason to worry
The Red and Blue is moving to it's big
games. but it finds itself in no mood
for tough opposition. Heisman has dis
carded the shift. but he seems to be
having his troubles developing suit
able attack.
Cornell ran wild against the light
Western Reserve team and made sea-
sons record OF 110 points. Dartmouth
and Tennessee played willy niliy game
in which fu,nbles were plentiful and
real high class play scarce. The Green
seems to be coming along, but slowly.
Syracuse Looks strong.
Syracuse and Brown were unbeaten
when they faced each other, and then
Syracuse rescued the undefeated contin-
gent by one. In winning 2S to 0 with
out showing the Pittsburgh scouts too
much the Orange turned in one of the
most creditable mid-October successes
1t has had in recent years. There was
marked difference between the Syra-
cuse eleven and it's 1920 predecessor
Chick Meehan seems to have taught
his men to make the most of the oppo-
stion's breaks and to follow the ball.
Syracuscs record last season was
marred by its lack of a nose for the
ball. and thus far it has shown a COM
plete reversal in that detail.
Pittsburgh. playing Cincinnati for the
first time, used n lot of substitutes and
refused to show Syracuse scouts just
how good or how bad It was. The
chances seem to favor Syracuse in their
Columbia more than made UP for the
defeat by Amherst In it's victory over
New York University. Another fort
night may show Columbia among the
best in this neck Of the woods. Ford
ham disappointed against villanova and
so did Stevens in high scoring game
with Springfield. Amherst defeated
Union. while Wesleyan fell before Bos-
ton University.
Clean. Slate for North.
Boston College earned a fine victory
over Baylor down in Texas while Rut-
gers beat Washington and Lee. giving
the North clean score against the
South for the day.
Lafayette continued its good work
with n victory over Bucknell. and WASH
ington and Jefferson responded to Earl
Neale's fervent prayers and beat Car
negie Tech. The efficacy OF prayer In
football again was vindicated
The first big games for the freshmen
of Harvard and Yale brought defeat
to the Crimson and victory to the Blue.
The Yale lads won over Exeter, while
Andovcr defeated the Harvard yearl-
ings.
In the West the big feature was the
defeat OF Illinois by Iowa. Minnesota's
defeat by Ohio State was another
feature. and so was Michigan's victory
over the Michigan Aggies. and Notre
Danes success over Purdue by 33 to 0.
In the South salient results were vir-
ginia's victory over Virginia Military.
conqueror of Penn last season. and
Georgia Techs big score--69--against
Furman, which had held Georgia to

on the coast Washington State was
stunned by Gonzaga. to 5.
