Dartmouth stands alone on the
roof Of the Eastern football world.
The Hanoyerians have yet to
Be defeated. In three successive
Saturdays they have beaten Har-
ward, Brown and Cornell and next
Saturday they win proudly defend
The honors of the East against
Lon Stages Chicago eleven. Dart
mouth Is favored TO win, and by
fair-sized score.
Three hitherto unbeaten teams
fell by the wayside last Saturday.
Boston College was trampled under
1ocs by West Virginia, 20 to ..
Foriham surprised everybody by
defeating Holy Cross, conQueror OF
Harvard and Bucknell. Pittsburgh
came to life and splashed w. and

EOrdhafn remains undefeated. but
the caIiber OF its opponents ruins
any thought of comparing the New
Workers with Dartmouth.s stall

eleven in the East, viewed from
any angle whatever.

tie Griffith Stadium. The hard
charging Of the forwards pre-
vented any Lehigh advances,
while the interference given the
fIeef-fOOted Hegarty, PlausIky and
hfetZger brought back to many
old grads memories Of those Olden,
golden days when the Blue and
Gray was y power in the football
world.
Georgetown is in apparently fine
condition for its Saturday contest
with Centre College. The Ken.
fuckfans fell before Tennessee, u
to 0. last Saturday, and are not a.
formidable as they have been in
the immediate past. Georgetown
should have little difficulty in rum

Praying Colonels.

Columbia, while Vale rubbed the
Army's nose in the dirt at New
Haven. At the same time this
Army Columbia game should be

to repeat this week at Providence.
