Schoolboy Elevens in Dispute
Over Brooklyn Championship
Clinton Retains Manhat-
tan Title; Fordham Prep
Best of Catholic Schools

Two championships were decided
Saturday in the semiwindup of the
scholastic football season when De
Witt Clinton again annexed the Man
hattan-Bronx Public Schools Athletic
League honors and Fordham Prep re-
tanned its title to the Catholic cham
pionship of greater New York. The
situation in Brooklyn is in muddle.
with several teams claiming the title.
The Public Schools Athletic League
honors are also disputed, but will be
cleared up if Manual Training defeats
Boys High in its final game Thanks
giving Day.
De Witt Clinton is the only eleven
in the city with perfectly clean slate
and closed its season with we'll
earned victory over the High School of
Commerce team. The Fifty ninth
Street boys completed their season
tories and no defeats. Poly Prep, of
Brooklyn, although undefeated, played
tie games with Boys High and Eras-
mus Hall.
The contests Saturday served to
prove the difficulty of sustaining a win
ming offensive throughout an entire
campaign. This was most evident in
the case of Brooklyn Prep, which
crumbled before the assault of Ford
nam Prep after season of successive
victories. The Brooklyn boys even
held their goal line inviolate through
a rigorous campaign until they sue
cumbed to Fordham by score of az
to 6. In justice to Brooklyn it must
be stated that Fordham had much
heavier team
Clinton barely escaped the same fate,
and that at the hands of Commerce, an
eleven which had previously suffered
two setbacks. De Witt Clinton gained
an early 7-point advantage and man
aged to hold It, although its opponents
camSfwithin scoring distance twice.

Malcolm Aldrich, captain of the Yale
eleven, confines to lead the way in
Eastern college ranks in individual
scoring and increased his total to sc
points by kicking a field goal in Satur-
days contest with Harvard. AS Jim
Robertson, of Dartmouth, the runner
up, did not score, Aldrich now holds an
11-point advantage over the Green

points. The Dartmouth man has one
more chance to overtake Aldrich, as
Yale has completed it's schedule, while
Dartmouth plays its final game against
Georgia on Thanksgiving Day.

of Yale, Still Leads
In Eastern Football Scoring

State, and Elliott, of Lafayette, lead
in the number of touchdowns scored,
each having registered ten. Hanson
continues to hold big advantage in
the goals from touchdown despite the
fact that the Ithacans did not play
Saturday. Hanson has registered
thirty three accurate boots from the
15-yard mark.
Lafayette leads the Eastern colleges
in the number of victories, with nine
triumphs and no defeats. The other
unbeaten clevens are Washington and
Jefferson, Cornell and Penn State.
Yale suffered it's first setback when it
was beaten by Harvard.
Cornell has a commanding lead in
team point scoring, having compiled
351 points in seven games. Lafayette
is second, with 274. Rutgers has been
scored on most often, with 1853 points
against her. The Navy has least
points tailed against it, with only Is
points scored by the opposition.

In the South Centre and Georgia
Tech cast longer shadows across VIC
torious fields with two fine teams, but
when it comes to the East the muddle
and the tangle become acute.
In the East Penn State, Lafayette.
Cornell and w. and J. remain unbeaten,
but OF those who still boast clean states
Penn State has gone further to prove
its greatness.
Penn State to-day would be favored
to beat any team in the East, with
Lafayette as the most formidable con-
tender.
Penn. State has shown the greatest
running back in the game in Glenn
Killinger, with the fastest, most de-
ceptive attack of the year so far as the
East is concerned.
w. and J. is unusually good, while
Cornell is undoubtedly strong, one of
the best, with a complete case unproven
through an unfortunate schedule.
Many Complications
1t has been long, long time since
Harvard, Yale and Princeton together
could make no claim to rank among the
first fve.
The Navy beaten by Penn. State,
looks stronger than any one of the
old triumvirate, who no longer sit in
the seats of the mighty.
Yet the case of this trio shows the
complications of the modern game with
its form reversals as sudden as base
ball, where the -tail-ender may beat the
leader at almost any given moment.
Of the old three, Princeton would
have been the best with it's full
strength in the field in good condition.
Of the old three, Harvard had the
smartest team, with a more deceptive
keener attack.
Of the old three, Yale had the great
est running power, with Aldrich, Jordan
and O'Hearn to carry the ball, but her
passing game was the weakest of the
lot.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-21
A Few Why's and Wherefores

Princeton beat Harvard because
Princeton at that time was in better
physical shape to absorb the shock of
battle and remain steadfast and alert
through the closing period, where the
Crimson was groggy.
Princeton beat Harvard largely because
Bill Roper had little better than the
skeleton of machine on. the field with
keck, Wittmer and Stinson too badly
injured to be of any value. With Keck,
Wittmer and Stinson unfit, Princeton
lost the services of three of her four
best defensive men.
Harvard beat Yale because Harvard
thought faster and had something to
give when the scoring moment came,
where Yale had nothing. Yale had in
Aldrich one of the great football play
ers of the decade, reaching greatness
IN every department of the game.
But Harvard had great field general
in Charley Buell., line-cracking Bersek
in George Owen and helpful aid in
Fits. Plus system that gets 100 per
cent Of what it's men have to offer.
Princeton and then Yale in turn
showed the narrowing effects of two
successive grinding, nerve-wrecking
battles, leaving Princeton at her weak
est and Harvard at her strongest
against Yale, who profited on one side
only to lose on the other.
Harvard helped Yale to beat Prince
ton, and Princeton helped Harvard to
beat Yale.
