PRINCETON HAS
NO DEFEATS ON
SCHEDULE YET
Dartmouth Shows Wonderful
Promise in Defeating Har-
ward Last Saturday
CORNELL STILL IS THREAT
Army. Bucknell Battle Draws
Fans Interest-Yale Primes
For Green and White

New York, Oct. 24.-(AP)--The
halfway mark of the college foot
ball season today finds only five ma
jor eastern elevens in the running
for sectional supremacy.
Five weeks of the season have
passed and only five more remain
before the larger institutions wind
up their gridiron schedules.
Princeton Unc0nquered
Among the teams still uncon-
quered are Princeton, which put
down the strong Cornell team; Dart
mouth, which showed wonderful
promise against Harvard; New York
university, Pittsburgh and Washing
ton and jefferson.
Among the hitherto unbeaten elev-
ems which fell in last Saturdays
rush are Army, Lafayette and SYRIA
cuse. Maine, Tufts, George Wash
ington and Rochester still maintain
clean states, but their schedules have
not been as strenuous as those Of
the larger schools.
Dartmouth's impressive triumph
over Harvard has stamped Jesse
Hawley's eleven with the mark of
eastern approval, but the big green
team will have severe test next
Saturday when it clashes with Yale
at New Haven. Dartmouth bowled
over Harvard with one of it's back
field regulars out Of the lineup, but
the powerful Yale line may impose
an entirely different prospect.
Cornell, still regarded as a
thoroughly dangerous Contender, will
play host to Columbia at Ithaca.
New York university opposes Col
gate in the Yankee stadium. Har-
ward will engage Pat Pages In
diana university eleven at Cam
bridge. Pennsylvania, it's luster fur
ther dimmed by the defeat at Chi
cago, goes up against the Navy at
Philadelphia. Syracuse, beaten by
Penn State, journeys to Lincoln, to
meet the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
Princeton entertains William and
Mary.
There is considerable interest in
the battle between Army and Buck
nell next Saturday at West Point.
Bucknell's record is married by one
tie. a scoreless game against Cen
eva college, coached by "Bo" McMil-
Ian. Bucknell contributed one of the
big surprises Of the year in trim
ming Penn State, 13 to z.
Brown Record Is Disappointing
Penn State will meet Lafayette
and Brown will take on Temple uni
versity at Providence. The season
has been q keen disappointment for
"Tuss" McLaughrey at Brown. The
"lron Men" Of 1926 are no more.
Whereas they went through the 1926
season indicated they have met
three reverses in as many weeks
this year. Their defeat Saturday by
Lebanon Valley indicates that the
players have suffered q let-down.
Other games on Saturdays list in
clude West Virginia VS.. Carnegie
Tech. Georgetown VS.. Waynesburg;
Washington and jefferson VS.. Thiel,
and Pittsburgh VS.. Allegheny.
Last Saturdays games furnished
ground for belief that one of the
final games of the eastern season.
the annual Princeton Yale classic
will be exceptionally hard fought
and perhaps will determine the
mythical eastern championship.
Yale's line of giants showed remark
able ability in repulsing the Army
twice when in the shadow of Yale's
goal, and Bruce Caldwell of Yale
intensified the good opinion he had
previously earned as q remarkable
back. Princeton, in downing Cornell
at Ithaca, showed power and versa.
tility. Yale was beaten by Georgia,
but has greatly improved since then.
Its game with Dartmouth next Sat-
urday probably will take most of the
spotlight.
