IOWA VICTORY IS SHOCK TO YALE
Game at Bowl Saturday Was Chief Upset Of the Day

Cndisputed sway TOT the ltst f'it' during the season last week and with the preliminary games out of the way some important contests were decided on Saturday. Outstanding among these was the Yale-Iowa contest at New Haven. Besides being an inter sectional struggle the game had added interest because both teams are, or should be- among the strong eleVehs of the country this year Further- more. they are coached by brothers former members of the same Yale team and both of whom have coached at New Haven since their graduation. Little wonder then that the game at- tracted great interest and that there was much speculation on its outcome.
 Th~ Iowa loop was @ great shock to Yale and it's followers, although to close students of the game the victory was not unexpected,
 The Western Conference champions were pointed for the contest and the Ellis were not The Iowa team had in finitely more to gain from victory and 1t came east determined to achieve it. While the Hawkeyes still have all their conference games before them, this particularly in view of their present mpionship, can hardly mean as much to them as Princeton and Harvard mean to Yale,
 This is not intended in any way to helittle the victory of the 1owans. They outplayed Yale and Yale, as it always it, was playing to win. The point that is being made is that de spite sectional and partisanship argu- ments to the contrary, there is little or no difference in football as it is played east and west, or north and south.
 Yale Might Reverse Verdict
 Man for man, Iowa and Yale ap- peared to be about on par. Both teams are well coached and if they were to meet again in post season game it is not improbable that Yale would reverse the verdict, quite likely by another close score and surely not without another great struggle, for as the Hawkeye slogan so truly goes. Iowa fights
 Another gruelling gridiron battle which was fought out on Saturday was the West Virginia Pittsburgh tus- sle in Pittsburgh. This game also aroused great interest among follow CTS of the game, due chiefly to the tradition which attaches to it. Prior to Saturday it had been 9 years since the Mountaineers had downed the Partners, but they toppled the War ner-coached combinatio from its pn- nacle then by score of to b. Like the Lafayette Pitt game of the pre- yious week. it was tough one TOT the Partners to lose, for it was field goal in the closing minutes of play which finally brought to the West Nlr- ejnians their long awaited triumph.
 It was another late rally. but of different nature, which gave the Army a l9 to victory over Alabama Poly in another of the days inter-secuonal contests Until the final quarter roll ed around the scrappy little team from Auburn had a to O. and what appeared to be winning advantage. Then the defense of the southern team suddenly crumpled, and by series of successful forward passes the Cadets managed to pull the game from the fire.
 Among eastern teams there were few upsets in the days play, but there was distinct surprise in the outcome of the Brown Syracuse battle .t Providence. The Hill team, play ing on its own grounds flashed re- markable defense in the pinches which was able to check the flne or fensive play of the Salt City team and this. in its ultimate analysls tells the true story of the game syracuse followers had a reasonable right 10 expect a victory over Brown, pu1 Meehan's eleven lacked the necessary punch when that punch would nave meant touchdown and thus had to be content with a scoreless tie.
 Big Elevens Victorious
 AS was expected, Harvard Prince ton, Cornell, Penn, Columbia, Lafay- cite and Dartmouth won their games from smaller rivals, although only the scores rolled up by Cornell and Lat- ayette were anything to brag about Princeton had real battle on It's hands in the maroon-clad Colgate team and only some clever forward passing and one long one saved the Tigers from defeat Harvard was able to beat Bowdoin by an unimpresslVe total, but it is only fair to state that many of the Crimsons first string nlayers were out of the contest
 Columbia also met tartar in Wes- leyan and the invaders from Middle town carried the Norningside Heights team through a finely played game to lose in the end by 10 to score. The tackling of the losing team was the best that has been seen here this season, and had its offense been as rood there might have been differ ent story to tell.
 In the south two games attract at 1 tention, not 80 much by their out comes but because of their scores "Point- a-minute' Centre struck an unlocked for snag in Virginia Poly and just managed to eke out 10 to victory, and Georgia Techs Golden l Cyclone" swept over Alabama by the surprising score of B to '.
 Games in the middle and far west | also ran true to form, except for one | upset-the defeat of Illinois by Butler.
 Northwestern, which has always been considered something of a weak | sister in the western conference. gave Chicago a'tough battle but the Ma. room finally pulled through on the long end of a IS to : score.
 In the Missouri Valley conference. three teams, Missouri, the Kansas Az wies and Drake are still undefeated. and Nebraska remain un-
