Georgia Tech hops into the
spotlight with its unexDected
triumph over Penn State. For
three periods the PennsyIvanians
were unable to score at All.
while their mistakes enabled
Tech to run mp fifteen points.
Penn State outweighed Tech and
was stronger In everything but
brains. Tech made but one touch
down from scrimmage, but the
Georgians took advantage Of every
slip by their rivals. Irtercsptiflg a
pass, they kicked q field goal in the
opening period. In the second
period they recovered d tumble and
scored touchdown. Their safety
followed a wretched pass from the
State center. Toward the end of
the game, after being banged and
buffeted by the heavier !. Staters,
Tech rallied in time to hold it's VIC
tory by a margin Of 2 points.
A second surprise was furnished
In the South by Tulane. Vanderbilt,
after its !, 1S-to-13 tie with the
Quantico Marines. went to New Or

The Coynmodores led, IS to z,
when the third period began. The
Tulane, gale began at once, and
from then on Vanderbilt was out
played and outscored until the final
whistle.
In a minor degree F'lortda's one
sided victory over Wake Forest, 81
to 0, was surprising. Wake Forest
had already defeated North Caro-
lima and Washington and Lee, and
was thought strong enough to make
an even thing Of it's fight with q
team playing q. scoreless Tie with
Georgia Tech a week earlier.
For Notre Dame to win it's an.
nual rOmp with West Point was
no surprise. NOtre- Danes hack.

and the thing Is done.
Next Saturdays game at Prince

Notre Dame and Princeton are
teams delighting In the theatrical
and packed stadium will probably
witness the seasons most flashy
performance when the Hoosiers dig
In against the Tigers
While Notre Danes backs get
most Of the credit for Saturdays
1S-to-I victory against the Army,
nevertheless no backfield can per.
form at its best without q line and
those forwards, outweighed and out
aged by the big Army players, must
get. their need of praise, too.
Captain Walsh, Notre Danes cen.
ter, was the best man in either line,
outplaying Garbisch, Army's cap.
tain. now playing his eighth season
of football. Notre Danes ends and
tackles completely outclassed those
of the Army.
Boston College fell down badly
In losing to Syracuse, 10 to 0, and
so did Colgate in losing to Ne
.brasl5a, 33 to 4. In East VS., West
football thus far, the West has
everything, Chicago defeating Brown
and Nebraska making q chopping
block Of Colgate.
It was no surprise to see Cor.
nell fall before Rutgers. The
Jerseymen are a big, powerful
team this season, while Cornell
seems to be having an off year.
Indeed; Dobie will have his trou-
bles ON Franklin Field next month
unless there is q decided change
for the better.
Loss of his veteran backfield is
proving costly to Coach Byrd at
Maryland this season. Already the

Lee and Virginia Tech. sloppy
