eleven pass the 80 marx n scoring
against Brown combination.
The Brown team of this season Is
not quite up to the standard of other
years. but any Brown team at any time
is quite team. Yale won so handily
because it developed its great powers
both on offence and defence. 1t won
because O'Hearn. Aldrich, Jordon. Wight,
Neidlinger and Speiden played the foot
Dali or which they are capable. IN that
respect they certainly did not resemble
the Harvard backs.
Yale now looks toward its big games
with the greatest of confidence, and a
world OF stuff with which to back up
that confidence. Maryland Is to be met
on Saturday and the Ellis will find them
even easier than Brown.
Tigers Use Forward Pass.
The feature of Princeton's "a 70 o
victory over Virginia was the Tigers
| use OF the forward pass as cinching
argument. They ran the ball within the
shadow of the Virginia goal posts and
then threw the leather to put over the
scores. Princeton showed a lot of rough
edges. but that game should work won-
ders for its morale.
Things broke pretty much as Bill
Roper wanted them to break--a big
score. but not too big. and the boys
feeling a bit satisfied after two heart
breaking Saturdays. Lourie still was on
the side lines. but he will be in there
against Harvard on Saturday. The
Princeton outlook against the Crimson
certainly is far more promising than
it was a week ago, when In some quar-
ters the Tigers were being counted out.
You never can tell when these big teams
get together.
The debacle which struck down Geor-
gia Tech. at the Polo Grounds was made
all the worse for the Crackers by the
success of Centre at Harvard. Last sea-
son Tech defeated Centre with ease and
Tech. felt that 1t could turn the trick
again this year. But now there seems to
/ be considerable doubt on that point.
Crackers Had No Defence.
| Georgia Tech. could not fight Penn
State because II had no defence. 1t
came here with an involved and shifty
attack. 1t placed greatest reliance on
its shift, and once Penn State diagnosed
that play and timed it's defence the shift
looked like a plugged nickel.
| Penn State showed considerable shift
ness on Its own account. 1t developed
delayed passes and remarkable decep-
seen as the backs milled around in the
old Harvard style and then tore through
n spot which Tech. had left unprotected.
The State teams style is the nearest
thing to that of Harvard of the old
Mahan and Hardwick days seen any
where since then--even at Harvard.

Dartmouth had been having its trou-
bles. The suspicion that things were
not moving along right at Hanover came
when the Green played miseraDle game

Columbia's poor showing against Will
Jams and Cornelrs sweeping victory over
Dartmouth showed that the class of the
Columbia team had been exaggerated.
Dobie There mt Last.
Corncli's attack spilled through all
points on the line and worked like Q
charm In the air. Everything broke
well for the lthacans after n slow ane
nervous start in which there was lo

handling of the BALL Dobie seems tC
have got the real thing at last-an,
It's high time Cornell got going.
Penn, OF course. could not hope t.
stop team which had got the momen
tum which Pittsburgh attained In th'
victory over Syracuse. Penn has no
shown real class at any time this seasor
and Penn mon are despairing. AT thu
same time they are wondering why Penn
cannot do better.
Syracuse's penchant for suffering de
feat through intercepted passes and
fumbles once more knocked the Orang'
down for the count. Washington ant
Jefferson winning by II to 10---througi
an intercepted pass. Syracuse hes fine
material, but something Is wrong some
where. Lafayette continued its fin,
