the business this year.
The praying Colonies have not
faced as stir q schedule as the An
napolis team. but in these days Of
open football even the weakest
eievens are prone to score on the
best of them. Witness the fact
that there is not a goal line that
has not been crossed. unless the
statistics are badly messed up.
Six Points Scored On Ceatre.
Centre and Ohio State are the two
teams of any prominence which
have kept their goal line invio-
late. save for one lone touchdown.
Oberlin counted seven points on the
Buckeyes and a little team called
st. Xavier registered a touchdown
on Centre. but failed to kick the
subsequent goal Therefore. Gen.
tire tops the list from a defensive
standpoint. with but six points
chalked up for the enemy
Another feather in the cap Of
Charley Moran's eleven Is the fact
that ii is the only team on the
Harvard schedule which held the
Crimson scoreless. Crossing the
Harvard goal line was not such a
rare occurrence this year. but
goose-egging the Cambridge boys
was a mighty different proposition.
Holy Cross failed by three points;
Penn State was nicked for three
touchdowns; Princeton held the
Crimson to a field goal.
Centre Line q Peach.
That Centre rush line has done
wonderful work this year Against
the fairly strong Auburn eleven
last Saturday. Moran's forwards
were outweighed many pounds TO
the man. But they allowed Auburn
but two first downs and charged
the Piainsmen of their feet. The
closest approach to the Centre goal
was the 4S-yard line. which ex-
plains the defeat of Auburn better
than anything else.
Among the big teams OF the Eas,
Harvard and Army have been badIy
on In their defense. As far an the
crimson is concerned this is some
thing unusual. Army has aIloweo
