Penn state, was the defeat admins
! tered by Alabama to the Atlanta in
St1tution. However, since Wade
Brown took over the rcinS at Tus-
! caloosa. Alabama has made remark
able strides. And. also, it probably
caught Georgia Tech right after the
latter had made special preparations
for the Penn State game, which it
Won
Penn State il finding the going this
year somewhat rocky. \ week ago it
lost to Georgia Tech, and Saturday il
went down before Syracuse on its
home field. 1t was a touchdown from
tumble in the first period which
gave Syracuse the margin by which
it won.
Ed Buckley. former Central High
halfback, played fullback for Penn
State.
George Washington and Gallaudet
ran away with their games Saturday.
The former trimmed St JoSeph's Col
lege. and the latter gave DreXcl In
stitute a laciug. 1t wa the last homo
game for the Hatchctites. and they
put it away on the right side of the
ledger with trimmings.
knutc ROckne, always quiet, but
very observant, must be smiling in
his sleeve today. following that game
with Princeton Saturday. Press re-
ports had it that Princeton was max
ing real preparation for the. game;
that the Tiger had secuted Notre
Dame in all it's games; that there
was something in the air that let
the public think that last year
Princeton met Notre Dame with lit
tie special preparation, but that this
time the situation was different. one
syndicate sports writer even went so
far as to predict a Tiger victory.
The foot ball world knows now
that Notre Dame put on the field Il
stronger eleven than Princeton and
one that came very close TO scoring
Just as many points as it did year
ago. despite the rcputedly stronger
team that wore Princeton COlorS, If
press reports Of the contest ar" to
be taken at their face value. Much
will be written of the game, but
after all is written and said. prob
ably the whole situation might be
| summed up in n few words by say
| ing that Prince ton did not have as
! good men and was not as well
coached.
Georgetown seems to have played
without the smiles of Dame Fortune
when it lost to BuCknell. After
making II first downs. usually enough
to win any foot ball game, and hold
ing BucknelI to 4, the Blue and
Gray cannot help but feel rather dis
appointed To be whipped by a bet
ter team, by team that gains more
ground and generally seems to be
stronger, is one thing, and to be
whipped by an eleven that is out
rushed and apparently outplayed is
another. Yet the latter seems to
have been Georgetown's lot.
University of Maryland beat North
Carolina because it had just little
bit more left in it for fourth pc
riod after three about as hardplayed
quarters as could be imagined. 1t was
toward the end of the third quarter
and in the fourth that Maryland
gained most of its ground. In the
first half North Carolina made three
first downs against one for Mary
land: i'll the second Mary land made
six and Carolina one.
1t might be mentioned in connec-
tion with that game that North Car
olina has one man who will make Il
bid for alI-Southern honorS, and he
is in his first year of college foot
ball. lie is no other than BraswclI,
right end Weighing 1S5 pounds,
fast and apparently having a lot of
foot ball sense, able to cover punts
well, he stood out in a game in which
everybody was playing good, hard
foot ball. Braswell is one of the best
natural ends seen in the South At
lantic section in some time.
