New-York tribune., 1922-10-02


coaches have plenty of work befo
battles to come.
Three elevens in particular were
rather disappointing, namely Yale, Har
ward and Lehigh. Ali three were saved
from the stigma OF defeat, but none
looked imposing. The Ellis, after ar
overwhelming victory over Bates {
week ago, defeated Carnegie Tech BY
the none too comforting margin OF
1s to 0. The lighter Carnegie team, in
fact, gained much more ground than
Tad Jones's outfit. Fumbles, however
proved disastrous to Carnegie.
The New Haven team has the indi-
yidual ability and time undoubtedly
play. The one bright light in the vic
tory was Charley O'Hearn, who kicked
two field goals, one from the 52-yard
line.
Harvard was surprised by Middle
bury, but the Crimson won by margin
of three touchdowns. The Vermont
team, swept off its feet in the first few
minutes, settled down TO q driving at
tack which carried the ball frequently
into Harvard territory. One Middle
bury advance Of more than sixty yards
was stopped in the shadow Of the Grim
son goal posts.
Lehigh Stunned by Gettysburg
Lehigh, always we'll up with the best
in the East, was stunned by Gettys-
burg, and instead of victory the Beth
lehem students were forced to be sat-
isied with a scoreless tie.
Other leading machines Of the East
scored heavily against their opponents,
Princeton, Cornell, Lafayette, Syracuse,
W. and j. and Pitt winning by wide
margins.
The Tiger Is especially worthy Of
mention for the 80 to @ victory over
Johns Hopkins. This triumph was
achieved with two quartets alternating
in the backfeld. Coach Bill Roper has
lost his star backs of 1921, but there
is both quantity and quality in the
new backfeld material.
Syracuse scored its second victory Of
the early season, defeating Muhlenberg
by 47 to 0. The outstanding feature
Of the Orange teams victory was the
sensational open field running of the
backs. Chester Bowman, in for brief
period, made spectacular runs of fifty
Ave and sixty-two yards. Kellogg also
broke away for a big gain. Coach
Chick Meehan's backs apparently know
how to pick openings in the enemy's
defense.
Cornell, after an uncertain start in
the first period, rolled up a tally Of
55 to against ST. Bonaventurc. Pfann,
scoring four touchdowns for the "Big
Red" team, carried off the individual
scoring honors for the day.
Lafayette, undefeated last year,
started we'll, and the work of the vet
erans Gazel1a and Drummer was much
Richmond. w. and j. scored it's sec
ond victory Of the year in defeating
Westminster, 35 to 0. Glenn Warmers
Pittsburgh outfit was on the long end
of $40 score against the University
Of Cincinnati.
Manhattan's Elevens Start Well
Manhattan's elevens did very we'll in
their opening encounters. All three
won, and Columbia displayed pow
erful machine, overwhelming Ursinus
by score Of 48 to Z. The Blue and
White has much stronger team than
in 1921, and the backfeld combination
is particularly brilliant.
Fordham defeated Canisius by two
touchdowns, but morally it was much
greater victory. Frank Gargan has
but four veterans on his team, the
others being last years freshmen. Con-
sidering all things it was an auspi-
cious start for the Maroon. The VIC
tory has given Fordham the confidence
which will prove helpful in the harder
battles yet to come.
N. Y. U. had an easy workout against
the New York Aggies in preparation
for the tussle with Syracuse next Sat-
urday. Tom Thorp has fine fighting
team, light and green in spots, but
willing to learn and full Of pep.
One interesting feature Of Saturday s
contests was something novel in the
way Of starting plays at Rutgers. San
ford's new system Is to have no signals
called by the quarter back or any one
else. Instead, before each play, the
Rutgers men gather back of the scrim-
mage line for conference, then they
jump to their positions, and at the
shout of BALL" the play begins. Ac-
cording to reports, this system tended
\ to slow up the play. 1t will be inter
! csting to see how it works in future
games. Saturday Rutgers defeated
Penn Military College by 13 to 0.
In the other games where leading
teams figured Penn State was extended
to defeat William and Mary College
by % to 7, Penn could score but two
touchdowns against Franklin and Mar
shall, Colgate swamped Clarkson Tech
to the tune of so to and Dartmouth
took the measure of Norwich, 20 to O..
The Army played two games Satur-
day and won both, defeating Springfield
S5 to and Lebanon Valley IL to O..
The Navy is taking advantage of an
extra week of practice before opening
it's campaign. The midshipmen wifi
meet Western Reserve on Saturday,
