B|G THREE ELEVENS
 PLAY IN FINE FORM
Yale, Harvard and Princeton Showed Up Good Saturday


 question, Harvard's intersectionaI struggle with Center college In Its outcome the element of surprise which has been added to the game by the modern rules figured eXten- sivey Not many of the close follow CTS of the game expected the Crimson strong though Harvard was known to be to overwhelm the Praying Col onels by any such score as it did. On the whole the members of the Blg Three acquitted themselves noblN, auguring some sensational struggles toward the end of the coming month.
 In most every instance on Saturday NNe only astonishing thing was the margin by which each team won. In all the list of games played there were only three in which real upsets occurred. They were Nermont's 6 to 8 victory over Dartmouth, N. Y. US sunrise part at Columbias field and, in d measure Pittsburgh's triumph over Syracuse, Hie Orange, despite It's poor showing against Brown, was eX- pected to take the measure of War ner's Partners, who had dsmayed their followers by losing to Lafayette and West Virginia.
 There were a few games in which the favorites managed to emerge without defeat being chalked up against them but where a tie and close scores were almost on par with lcsing One of these was the West Virginia Washington and Lee game which ended ir a deadlock at l2-all. Another was the close game which West Virginia Wesleyan gave Wash ington and Jefferson. In practically every other instance, the teams ran surprisingly true to form showing that the season is getting well ad- vanced on it's way to the November climaXes.
 Harvard Has Strong Eleven.
 The result of the Harvard Center college game leaves little room for doubt as to Harvard. It is now cer- tain that the Crimson has another great team in the making. So far as the other two members of the Big Three is concerned Yale's showing against Williams has caused rift to appear in the clouds that have been lowering over New Haven, and n. good against Colgate the week pre- vious showed that it is slowly but surely improving, and that by the time the Harvard and Yale games ar rive the Tigers will be the Tigers in part at least once again.
 Without a doubt. the Kentucky team that invaded the Cambridge stadium last Saturday was nowhere near so effective combination as that which the famous Bo McMillan led eastward year ago. But it was good team with two powerful wea pons in Captain Red Roberts and Covinston. It was team of veterans for the most part just IS was Harv- ards. There was precious little thought of any A to 10 victory for Harvard before game time Perhaps the break" caused by Snowday's tumble before the game was minutes old was responsible for the Crimson's early rush to victory, but most of those who witnessed the conflict aver that the real cause was a real. hon est-to- goodness, clever quick think ing, hard-running aggregation that the Crimson coaches have knit to- gether. Last year there was some suggestion as to Harvard s being ready for the test. The Crimson left no doubt of it's being loaded for bear when the bears came this year.
 The Little Williams eleven proved inadequate to give Yale a stiff enough contest to make conjecture even pos sible to the Ellis. One thing, how ever was plainly discernibe. Vale, as has been maintained all along, has the making of powerful team. Its faults against Iowa were traceable to q green quarterback who did the best he could under the circumstances of playing in new position on a short notice Once Charley O'Hearn gets back into the lineup Win Captain Jordan, Mallory and possibly the elusive Mir Neale as mates. the Ellis will present an attacking power that will call for stiff defense. Thus far Coach Jones has apparently confined his teaching to Fundamentals, for against neither Iowa nor Williams did Yale utilize anything but straight football The few attempts at for ward passing that the Ellis made against the Purple were lamentabe both in their purpose and execution.
 Tigers Not to Bc Despised.
 Roper's Orange and Black crew proved against the heavy Maryland line that it is not to he despised-not vet at least. The Tigers defense which crumbled against Cogates in- tensive hammering was inspregnable on Saturday, Maryland being able 10 register only one first down. Cleaves continued his good work at half. but most encourag ging was the perform ance of young Dinsmore. who has lately been stationed at the important quarterback most.
 The Navy-Georgia Tech game dem enstrated that a one-man attack, no matter how super-inclined the man may be. is powerless against q hard charging line. backed up by an alert secondary defense. In Red Barron. \ the Yellow Jackets had just such a player, but so well did the midship- | men cover him that his ground gain 1 ing propensities were notably checked. ! And, as generally occurs in, instances of one-man teams. with the stopping of Barron cam the checking of the entire team. The other service eev- en, West Point. ran rather rough shod over New Hampshire State |
