game. Certainly it has improved
things from the spectators view
point for it has encouraged hand

suited in some very pretty play.
Even the placing OF the goal
posts 10 yards beyond the goal
lines, which to some meant com.
plete ruination Of the game, has
been an excellent change. The goal
posts still cast a shadow when a
team Is fighting on its own yard
line to prevent score.
Princeton now meets William and
Mary and Ohio State on successive
Saturdays and unless all signs fail,
should enter the game with Yale
on November IL, with q clean slate.
The Princeton victory over Cornell
was extremely clean-cut and
showed a we'll balanced rushing and
passing attack as well as a sturdy
defense.
Dartmouth ran true to form in
defeating Harvard, and / believe ex-
ceeded the fondest hopes Of the
stanchest supporters of the Big
Green team. 1t is possible that
Harvardss defeat OF Holy Cross left
an exaggerated opinion of the real
strength OF the Crimson-but the
workmanlike manner by which Dart
mouth rolled up its score could
leave no doubt in anybody's mind
as to the strength of the Hanover
eleven. The Dartmouth attack both
on the ground and In the air is
one Of the best in the East or in
any section OF the country for that
matter.
Yale was successful in stopping
the advance of the Army though 1t
was a busy afternoon for the Bull
Dog. Now Yale and Dartmouth
meet and it remains to be seen
what happens.
Harvard Jumps from the frying
pan into the fire. for the Crimson
faces Indiana. 1t Is hardly a soft
spot on the Harvard schedule, and
it certainly il no set up for the
team from the West. Penn Is in
much the same position as Harvard
for Penn, after successive defeats
at the hands Of the Penn State, and
Chicago must face the Navy still
smarting over the loss OF the game
to Notre Dame. The edge in this
contest should certainly be with the
Navy.
Penn State jOIted Syracuse
badly. Captain ROepke led the
attack which resulted i'm vic.
tory only in the last few min
utes Of the game. Syracuse
missed Barbuti. Perhaps his
inability to play cost Syracuse
the game though this is not
intended to detra6t from the
fine uphill battle waged by the
, Nittany Lions.
But when a team is without its

The annual affairs between

There Is more power in the Cor

passing game as well. Cornell
should win. Neither Fordham nor

appear evenly matched. New York

look like set-ups. No one seems to
know just how strong the Violet

Colgate appears to be the next
victim. New York University has
a couple Of hurdles to jump in Penn
State and Nebraska but they are
giving every indication OF being
headed toward this accomplishment.
