Princeton went down to a decisive
defeat at the hands of Navy. And
Il was not Il fiuke defeat either. as
even after Princeton by great rally
had taken the lead. Navy still had
reserve power enough to come back
in the second half and win decisively.
If seems that Princeton's main trouble
was it's line. the forwards not yet
having attained a development even
near their standard of year ago.
Vale must have another powerful
aIeven. Right now it seems to stand
with Pennsylvania as the strongest
and most versatile combination IN
the East. 1t seems unfortunate that
the two teams are not TO meet as
probably the greatest game or the
year would result.
Pennsylvania's one-slded victory
over chicago stamps it as team OF
ovcentional capahilities. The Quakers
ran rough shod over Stages eleven.

Catholic University and George
Washington Won their games. the
former in fairly hard game, 10 to !.
and the latter i'll walllover, 40 to 3.
catholic L apparently had much
easier contest than was expected.
Twice in the first half they had the
hall on the 5-yard line, but were un-
able to score because of fumbleS on
drives into the center of the line.
George Washington did just what was
expected in its game with Blue Ridge.
he latter having shown nothing that
would indicate strength enough to
make even a fair effort.
Gallaudet ran into something OF a
~nag at Schuykill College at Reading
and lost by a big margin. The Ken
,iall Green eleven was OutWeighed and
was against a much more experienced
aggregation.
The game at Pittsburgh must have
been Il brilliant offensive exhibition
by it and by its opponent. Colgate.
The Panthers won by 10 to 16, which
means that a good deal of ground
gaining was done by both teams, and
that kind OF a game is best of all to
watch.
Alabama evidently has another pow
erful foot ball team. It's defeat Of
Georgia Tech by 81 to 0 is so decisive

il likely to stand in the forefront of
college elevens in the South. That
probably is the biggest margin by
which any Southern eleven has de-
feated Georgia Tech in Is years.
University of Georgia also took a
setback The Furman University

for Georgia is not less bitter than

from a Georgia student standpoint
il is a disaster of the first magnitude.
In regard to this game il is rather
amusing 10 remember an incident that

II seems that a certain State univer-
sity wanted a game with Georgia for
last week. but Georgia figured the
state university team would be too
strong and decided TO schedule Fur
man, as "Furman never could beat
us and usually is beaten before we
start"
North Carolina University, which
romes here this week to play Mary

versity in their annual game at Chapel

down in the last quarter. which gave
