It has not done anything espe-
cially brilliant in its big contests,
and to top off the year by whip
ping Dartmouth would set mighty
we'll with the future admirals.
Army has done nothing to indicate
that it is as strong as Notre Dame,
while between Navy and Dart
mouth there does not appear to
be much difference.
A game in: Philadelphia in which
there is said to be great local interest
is that between Villanova and Temple
It is reported more than 10000 persons
are expected to watch the contest,
which. incidentally, may cut somewhat
into the attendance at the Navy-Dart-
mouth contest.
Probably one of the best games of
the year will be at Detroit, in which
Georgetown is to wind up its season.
The Blue and Gray is out in the Michi-
gan town to meet the University Of De-
troit, an eleven that defeated West Vir-
ginia University by SO to 0. Detroit,
however, was beaten last week by the
Oregon Aggies, which shows that, nc
matter how good an eleven is, it can be
whipped. The Blue and Grev is play
ing fine foot ball, and If it reaches the
peak attained in its game with Navy,
should stand a fair chance to win.
Navy people were free in saying the
rior to the play of the Notre Dame for
wards.
Out on the Pacific Coast the Univer-
sity of Southern California meets the
Washington State College, while at Chi
cago Loyola plays North Dakota. 1t is
said in connection with this North Da-
kRfa eleven that III fC nf flla ctrOI1n-
est In the country, although 1t has not
had the recognition because of the
schedule it has played.
Up in New England Holy Cross and
Boston College hold the spotlight.
Their game at Boston is likely to be
the center of the foot ball world for
that particular section.
Two games are to be played in the
South. North Carolina State being with
South Carolina and wake Forest with
Mercer.
Cornell must be keenly disappointed
over its showing at Philadelphia yes
terday. After holding q 7-to-3 mar
gin for the first half, the IthacanS
went in and dropped the ball game
right at the beginning of the third
quarter. Gentle, Penn halfback, caught
the KICKOFF 2 yards behind his own
down. That spelled Cornell's defeat,
as the remaining points scored by Penn
were not necessary to insure victory.
That Penn won by II to was some
thing of a surprise because it was felt
that possibly this might be a Cornell
year.
Pittsburgh and Carnegie Tech came
out of their games with Penn State and

tories, each scoring 20 points against
their opponents nothing. Carnegie
Tech, of course, has been defeated, hav-
ing dropped a game to Notre Dame
but Pittsburgh has carried through
without q defeat and right now prob
ably stands with Notre Dame as the
two strongest elevens in the country.
Colgate gave Brown a real lacing.
the count being 80 to o. The general
opinion was that Colgate was the bet
ter eleven. but with the fine showing
Brown made against Princeton and
Yale and in some of its other games it
seemed that the contest should be
closer. However, Colgate probably has
a much stronger team than 1t has been
given credit for.
The three biggest games in the South
Atlantic section turned out about as
nearly everybody expected, although
probably few persons felt that either
North Carolina or Maryland would win
by such big scores. North Carolina gave
Virginia such a lacing as Virginia Is
likely TO remember for many years. The
TarheelS scored Al points against one
touchdown and a point after touch
down for Virginia, and that touchdown
was made by Johnny Sloan after he
had received kickoff, on a run Of 80
yards. Virginia put up game fight, &C
cording to press reports, but simply was
up against a much stronger eleven.
Maryland beat Hopkins without much
more difficulty than Carolina beat Vir-
ginia. The Old Liners scored their first
touchdown within three or four minutes
after the game started, but then got the
surprise of their lives when Hopkins, on
receiving the kickoff. pulled a lateral
pass and on it Turnbull ran 80 yards for
a touchdown. The count was to 6,
with the game less than four minutes
gone. Hopkins pulled together after that
and fought fiercely for awhile to stem
the tide, but Maryland scored one more
touchdown in the first half, and in the
third quarter added three more and an
other in the fourth.

George Washington had little to offer
in the way of opposition against Catho-
lie University and went down by a big
margin, the final count being 48 to 6.
The Buff and Blue simply could not
stem the tide of Cardinal jerseys and
could make very little Roadway itself.
The Brooklanders started their scoring
early and kept 1t up through all four
quarters. Oliver, G. u. quarterback
raced up and down the field in the
early part of the contest and probably
would have been running yet If Coach
McAuliffe had not taken him out.
George Washington could take some
consolation from the afternoon though,
as its freshman team Soundly thrashed
the Catholic u. freshmen. The Colonial
yearlings were almost as much too good
for the Brookland first year men as
the G. u. varsity was for the @. w.
team.
Kentucky virtually kept Tennessee
out of the Southern championship yes
