RANKS OF UNBEATEN
 ELEVENS DIMINISH
Harvard Is Second of Big Three''
 to Be Beate>

I'm tho happiest man in tho world,' said "Bo3 McMi1lin. Center's famous quarterback, after the game last Saturday in which the Danville Colonels had crossed Harvard's goal
 line and inflicted a 60 defeat on the Crimson eleven: And nobody present
 felt like denying McMillin's right to
 be happy, for he had carried over the
 line the touchdown that represented
 Harvard's first football defeat since
 1916.
 In three actual playing seasons
 (there being no formal games played
 in the war years O. 1917 and 1918)
 Harvard had gone through without
 setback until Center visited Cam
 bridge on Saturday and brought de- feat with her. In the final game of the 1916 season, Yale's team, the first that
 Tad Jones coached triun1phed over Harvard by to 3. That was truly a bad season for the Cambridge outfit for, on the previous Saturday, Brown had won by three touchdowns, 21 to Q, and earlier in the year Tufts had stunned Harvard and itself by grab birls: of. a 7-3 triumph.
 This. therefore, was a monumental event that took place in the stadium on Saturday, But it was only one of the upsets that marked what had look d beforehand like 3, quiet day in the 'ootba1l calendar. Equally astounding was the happening at Ithaca, where a Dartmouth team at the hands of Cornell suffered the worst defeat the Green has ever encountered. A great
 olany people refussd to believe that the bis: Red team Had beaten the big Green team by such farcical score as 59 to '. but such was tho true tiding1 that came down from Cayuga, and we must take Gilmour Dobie's word for it that he has a real football machine this season.
 The Polo Grounds Affair In the nature of surprise also was the outcome of that little argument at tho Polo Grounds which, saw North and Sought brought together in the teams of Penn State and Georgia Tech. The latter's impressive showing l against Rutgers a week before and the general whirlwind nature of the Tech l attack had forecast a hard-fought and l thrilling engagement. But it was no l such thing. Penn State brought with l it all the force in attack and speed afoot that had left Harvard groggy and had made Bezdek's eleven feared as the greatest scoring macn1ne Tn the l east Against thin Tech wal able to oppose a line that was only second l ratn and not any too we'll drilled in l the strategems and deceptions of mod ] ern football. However heavy for ward may be. he is useless and super l fuous when he charges in b1indly and 1 trusting1y to where the ball seems to l be, only to discover that a fair imita- 1 ton of frightened greyhound is scamrering through the other. side of th. line.
 l A slight detonation occurring on l South Field should not be neglected in
 2 survey of Saturdays events. Colum-
 oia's worthies, desrte the disastrous I engagement at Hanover the week be- | eore, looked forward with much anti l cination and pleasure to that little brush with Williams And as is the 1 "ase generally in Blue and White foot l ball history the "set up" had frosty l ending. Williams won by the ringing l margin ot 20 to and Buck O'NeilEl | athletes now look forward with some | thing akin to dismay to that date with | Cornell conqueror of Dartmouth, at
 the Polo Grounds next Saturday.
 Princeton Looks Better.
 Aside from Harvard, which was los
