H. j. Stegeman. director OF athletics
at Georgia. said OF the Dark Blue:
Yale had a line team n year ago and
was hailed as one of the two greatest
in the country. but it has a much
stronger one now. A wonderful line,
behind which is 4 colossal and a fast
backfield, the line and hackneld we'll

up Yale'S team

Bulldog:
Yale is good Not only is it good.
but it is much farther advanced than
Yale teams usually are this time of
the year. The team not only is we'll
drilled as machine, but is brilliant in
the way II executes the fundamentals.
Despite the reputed excellence of
Pennsylvania s team, It is my opinion
that Yale will be the victor next Sat
urdav when the two teams meet for
the first time in many years. | doubt
If there is q team IN the country that
can stand the charging, slashing at
tack of that Yale team, provided the
men are in good physical shape at the
time of the contest"
Incidentally Georgia players are
intent on juSF one game this year
that with Georgia Tech. In discus
sing the prospects of that November
fray, which undoubtedly from a point
. of general and local interest. will be
the biggest of the year in the South.
two or three spots in which Georgia
Tech Is said to be weak were men
toned. In other words, Georgia al
ready is scouting Tech and probably
will keep "a keen eye on the Atlanta
eleven in every game.
While Georgia was being whipped
by Yale, Georgia Tech was doing IT
self proud in New York by trimming
Penn State for the second consecu-
tive year. Georgia Tech and Penn
State, vie with Pittsburgh and West
Virginia and with Pennsylvania and
Brown as the biggest games IN the

Georgetown surprised its most ar
dent supporters with the kind of score
it ran up against Lebanon Valley.
That the Blue and Gray would win
was fairly certain, but in the light OF
its previous contests the big score 1t
made-50 pointS-waS something of a
surprise. 1t has been known all the
time, though. that Georgetown had
the material for a great team and
that it only needed to get together.
Perhaps Saturdays slaughter IS In
dication that the eleven is on its way

pltsh the successes of which it is
ca pable.
Maryland also surprised by the ease
with which it defeated Rutgers. The
old Liners thought they had an even
chance to win. but not that they would
carry the fight to the Scarlet eleven
throughout the whole game. Rutgers
had its usual team of big men, but the
eleven as a whole was slow. It's line
was slower than Marylands, which is
saying a good deal. Maryland's vic
tory was what might be described as
satisfactory, considering 1t from a
viewpoint of the many hard games it
must play on consecutive Saturdays.
Catholic University ran over the
Blue Ridge eleven without trouble.
Coach Jack McAuliffe was not particu-
larly plea nor was he dissatisfied
over the showing. He says that the
team is doing about as well as might
be expected, although he is up in the
air somewhat as to what to expect
from his game this week with Villa.
nova, which is said to be much strong
er than it has been in several sea
sons.
George Washington lost to Buck
nell, and, as was pointed out before the
game was played, il should have eX-
pected nothing else. The Hatchetites
have a good squad Of experienced men,
but they do not have as good squad
of men as has Bucknell. Therefore,
granted equality in coaching, it did not
take any great deal of thought to tndi-
cate that the local eleven did not have
much chance of victory.
Vanderbilt took the measure Of Uni
-versity of Texas and Sewanee tied
Texas A. & NJ. in two of the big games
in the South. Vanderbilt's victory
over Texas did not carry with it any
special glory, but Sewanee's game
with Texas A. & NJ. was especially
commendable. Sewanee is a small
school, about 400 students, and that 1t
is able to stand up with the best in the
South speaks well for its spirit and
for the quality of the coaching Of Mike
Bennett.

again this fall with brilliant team
seems indicated by the slashing way
in which it humbled Louisiana State
University. Mike Donahue, who has
heen coaching Louisiana State. stated
at the beginning Of practice that he
expected a much stronger eleven this
year than last and cited as reason that
he had back his entire team of year
ago, and a year ago Louisiana State
beat Indiana and was a tough team
for all opponents. Alabama'S victory
by AZ to 0 might we'll be classed as
the most surprising event Of the day
of foot ball.
Washington and Lee made a good
showing against Princeton. The Gen
erals could have expected nothing bet
ter than defeat by Is to 6. They
ought to be we'll satisfied with what
they accomplished in the Tigers lair.
Two weeks ago Gil DObie predicted
that Cornell would not have much
chance against Williams. Cornell only
won by 48 to 0, and some of the 1th'
acans' other opponents had better not
take too seriously Dobie's pessimistic
predictions.
