NAVY TEAM HAS EYES
ON COLLEGIATE TITLE

ANNAPOLIS. October "a Most
naval people would have preferred to
see the Army defeat Yale and Penn
sylvania State win a clean-cut vic
result which did develop. but they
still believe that it will be possible
for the Navy eleven to botain the col
legiate title by winning all of its
remaining games.
Without the slightest underestima-
believed here that the Navy has an
even chance of winning from Penn
sylvania State and rather better than
an even chance of defeating West
Point.
Bethany and Bucknell. which play
at Annapolis on the next two Satur-
days, are we'll calculated to give the
midshipmen just the kind of games
they need in preparation for the great
test against Penn State on November
IL in Philadelphia. Both have played
good ball this year, as the Navy
hesitate to affirm. Bethany has been
going ahead for several sea sons and
this year has the weight to go along
with the speed and cleverness which
have marked it's elevens for several
seasons
Bucknell has been giving the mid
shipmen stiff opposition for several
seasons. Its fullback, Bowser. is
greatly regarded here, and has gen.
orally done nearly all of the Of
fensive work. This year it is known
that he has good men behind the line
with him and set of forwards who
give him some real help. Neither of
these opponents will be underesti-
mated and every preparation will be
made for them.
Extreme interest, however, is being
taken in the contest with Pennsyl-
vania State. From the first the gen.
eral opinion here was that Penn
State was more to be feared than
Princeton, and this has been confirm
ed by the showing of the two elevens
in Saturdays games. Penn State has
been the closest rival of the midship-
men in several branches of sport,
such as boxing and wrestling. and as
the score stands in favor of the Navy,
Penn State has this special reason
to strive for foot ball triumph.
There is general comment over the
fact that the Naval Academy eleven,
admitted to be very strong in all 9TH
er departments, lacks a really capable
kicker.

FIVE CAPITAL FENCERS

NAVY ONLY BIG ELEVEN
IN EAST UNSCORED ON

With the collegiate foot ball season
at the halfway mark, the Navy
eleven is the only big eastern team
which has not been scored on this
year. The Middies have preserved
their clean slate in winning three
games. Yale, Syracuse, Cornell and
Washington and Jefferson had their
records tarnished for the first time
last Saturday. Syracuse especially so,
when it lost to Pittsburgh, 35 to 0.
Five elevens have won five games
without suffering setback-namely.
Harvard, Washington and Jefferson,
Dartmouth, Lafayette and Yale Har-
ward also played tie game with
Penn State. Cornell, Penn State,
Pennsylvania and Georgetown have
each won four contests without any
reverses.
The feature of this years college
contests has been the unusual num-
Der of tied games. Ten no-decision
contests nave been played to date,
with Swarthmore engaging in two,
with Pennsylvania and Franklin
and Marshall
Cornell has produced the best scor-
ing machine. having tailed 237 points
to for it's opponents in four games.
Fordham is second with 163, and
Penn State. with 161. is third. Rut-
gers has been most often scored
against, II points being chalked
against the New Brunswick eleven.
Although Capt. Jim Robertson of
Dartmouth did not play last Satur-
day, he retained his position as lead
ing individual scorer. Robertson has
scored so points. including eight
touchdowns, nine goals from touch
down and one field goal. Zimmerman
OF Syracuse. is second, with SO points,
and kenyon of Georgetown and Ram
sey of Cornell are tied for third. with
81 points each.

Tigers Play Gamely.
Princeton's play was marked by a
gameness that was knightly. Men
such as keck, Gilroy. Wittmer, Smith
and Euwer were everywhere and their
efforts saved the Tigers from a top
heavy score. Stagg told the writer
that he was amazed at the ferocity of
Princeton's defense inside their 30
yard line.
Chicago's forward pass touchdown
need not be held against the Tigers.

October defense against a November
attack
Now for Princetons lesson. She
has got to build up new offense.
Chicago showed what could be done
with Nassau's system of attack. And
there were sharp-eyed Harvard and
Yale scouts at the field to read the
moral. Chicago showed how to max e
a monkey of Princeton's scheme of
having wide ends jump back, thus
putting other players on side for for
ward passes. Chicago showed the
weaknesses of the crashing-in end in
reference so pointedly that the
Tigers dropped it after the first quar-
ter. Chicago took all the teeth out
of the Princeton threat from kick
formation.
Princeton has got to draw her
backs in closer and teach them to
knife. with the line cooperating: and
she must do it now. For it would ap-
pear that her present stock in trade
is cooked. Chicago showed Nassau
that there are ways of drawing line
apart, that there are ways of concen-
trating upon weak points faster than
the defense can mobilize. Chicago, to
sum up, showed Princeton that. the
west had things valuable for her to
learn. Will she learn them? She has
the men and the coaches and the time.

DEFEAT OF D: c. PROS

AS it played yesterday. the local
eleven deserved it's fate. Its line
never matched that of the visitors

burg backfleld clearly outclaSsed any
of the combinations Washington sent
into the fray. The Black and White
was outrushed. outtackled and out
passed. Otherwise. it played fairly
good foot ball. 1t hopes to show
more when it faces Richmond here

visitors, was the leading light of the
engagement. He did all the scoring.

will be held the first Friday in No

The Chevy Chase Clubs new course,

unique in that it will involve no
severe hardships on the mediocre

brought about by the circum-
stance that the approaches to the
greens are severely trapped. but are
practically all open in front. SO that
the short player may run his ball on
the green. The long player who tries
for the green and goes astray is in
real trouble. while the short player
who has any accuracy will have room
