IN ONLY Three More Games on District G10ns This Fall

Yale has not been doing that exactly
its season has been such that any rea
hope of successful year must lie in
beating Harvard.
Nebraska finally struck ,snag
though not enough to cause it to lose
The Pittsburgh eleven went to Lincoln
and played tie with what is said tc
be the biggest eleven in the country
speaking of the men making up th2
eleven. The only other game Nebraska
| has failed to win decisively was that
with Syracuse, which was won by only
one point, to 6.
Columbia probably is not as strong as
has seemed at times this Fail. Espc-
cialIY is this true if its score against
Penn may be taken as criterion. The
Quakers walked away with the con-
test, scoring five touchdoWns. Incl
dentally. Columbia tied Cornell in =
game in New York, and if the scores
of these contests offer anything in the
way of comparison then Cornell is due
for hectic afternoon in Philadelphia
Thanksgiving day.
Army and Navy romped away with
their games, both defeating minor
clevers, Carleton College of Minnesota
and Loyola College of Baltimore. by an
avalanche of touchdowns The games
we're none other than breathers.
Syracuse, despite the fact that it
played some good games earlier in the
year. has taken drubbings the last two
weeks, and the one Saturday must
have been bitterly humiiiat:ng For
Syracuse to lose to Colgate is bad
enough. but to lose by 80 to 6 is tragic.

Alabama played great game against
Georgia Tech for three quarters, but
broke in the fourth and allowed Georgia
Tech to pile up the score. The end of
the third quarter found the count tied
at 13 to IS, with the Georgia Tech fol-
lowers sitting in cold fear as to the
outcome. Then the game broke and the
Atlanta school rolled back the Crimson
Tide to win much as it pleased. Ala
bama seemed to have the best chance
of any Southern eleven to topple Geor-
gia Tech. but apparently was just not
good enough to carry on.
Tennessee made good and whipped
Vanderbilt for the first time in many
years. 1t was by a narrow margin,
though, and when the game wound up
only six points separated the victor
from the vanquished. The Tennessee
Vanderbilt game is the Yale-Harvard
game of that section.
Wisconsin beat. Iowa and now stands
with only Minnesota between 1t and
the Western Conference championship
But that word only prohebly should be
qualified or left out of the foregoing
sentence, because in all probability
Wisconsin will find that Minnesota is
plenty to stand between it and the title.
These two elevens meet this week and
the result of their meeting should de-
eide Western Conference honors. Wis
consis has not been defeated, but has
been tied.
Probably Cne of the greatest surprises
in any foot ball game in this section
was the result of the st. Johns of An
napolis and Hopkins game i'll Balti-
more. A good many persons thought
the Annapolis eleven had chance to
win, but not one thought it was going
to annihilate Hopkins to the tune Of
46 to 0.
1t is the first victory a st. Johns
eleven has scored over Hopkins since
1916 and is q distinct tribute to the
work of Tody Riggs, former Maryland
end, who is coaching the eleven.
Incidentally, two Washington boys
took part in the game-big parts, One
was McCartee, who formerly attended
Emerson Institute, and the other Cas-
sassa,. who last year was at st. Johns
here.
