LN1GllT colleges in the East and on"
~ in the West dropped out of the in-
defeated. united class on Saturday when
the football returns came in. In this
sector there are only seven teams re-
naming in this select division. Cornell
Penn. Harvard. Princeton. Lafayette.
Dickinson and Wesleyan make up the
group.
In the East there arc six additional
indicated "'cvens. but 'hoy have been
dradlockcd in nt least one struggle.
They are state. Army. Carnegie Tech,
W. and J. West Virginia and Brown.
Iowa. California and Notrc Dame are
the most prominent combinations Of the
West which have met neither rcverscs
nor tics. Michigan and Minnesota have
been in dccisionless games, but have no.
been beaten.
There were several elevens which suf.
fcred their first disnstcr on Saturday.
and the most prominent among these
were the Navy and Chicago. The fail
usc of these teams TO win was distinct
surprise. for both Of them were odds on
favOrites when the week end skirmishcs
started.
Up to the last batch Of games Prince.
ton and Tufts were the college olevcns in
the East which had not been scored
upon. The Tigers lost this record. bu,
kept their slate clear Of reverses. which
is far more important. Tufts was
eliminated by Wesleyan, 1876.
DUTGERS. Columbia. George.
~ town and Drexel Institute are
others who "bit the dust" for the
first time Saturday.
Five Surprises
THE week END did not pass without
1 a cluster Of surprises. The uprising
Of Pennsylvania in conQuerin. the
Navy reminded the old-timer of other
and better days. It was by last half
rally that tho Quakcrs squclchrd Bob
Folwells fighters. and out in Chicago
the aroused Tigers also came from
behind to win late in the game. The
Princeton victory was even more SEN
sational. for Roper's athletes waited
until the last period to spring to the
fore.
The - game between Yale and the
Army was not within the realms Of
things expected. xhe Blue was "a
vorite and it was believed that Jones
men would be able to triumph by
at least two touchdowns. The score
less battle which State and Syracuse
waged was also an upset. According

should have won. The victory Of Holy
Gross over Vermont was another sur
urise. Jim Kpadys combination bea;
Dartmouth the week previous. but
bowed at Worcester. so.
Z Harvard. Lafayette and Pittsburgh
all survived. but there were many
anxious moments for the supporters
of these three institutions. Dartmouth
held the Crimson to 1873 and Frank
Cavanaugh's Boston College eleven put
ND a great fight against the Eastonians,
but lost 1913.
