The mighty elevens of the conferences of che nation have given up their toys and have taken to playmates of a more vicious temperament, conse-1 quently they found themselves treading on precarious ground. Such conditions brought about the usual upsets in the trend of scoring over the country, i, but for the south the defeat Of the powerful Vanderbilt eleven, hailed as the giant of the Southern Conference, by Tulane, 21 to 13, at New Or leans, was the shock of the day. The Greenies completely outclassed the highly-touted McGugin machine, as they knocked it cold in it's race to retain the southern champion ship.
 In the east the Big Three struggled through a chaotic day. Harvard had a. difficult time beating Holy Cross. F to 6. while the best the Yale Bulldog could do vas to tie Dartmouth, l4-1A, Hays,l ever. the showing of the Bulldog in the face of the Dartmouth team was about as good as any of the three, for Prince ton had, to rush in q substitute drop. kicker to boot the field goal in the last few minutes of play, which won from the Navy, IT to IA.
