Golden Gate State as did Stanford
last Fall against Army. Penn did not
have an easy time beating Virginia
Polytechnic Institute last week, and 1t
barely beat Franklin and Marshall IN
its opening game. Penn does not seem
any too strong, and California, despite
the long trip in warm weather, may
take back another Eastern scalp
Last Fall at Princeton the Tigers beat
Cornell by to 0. Saturday the Tigers
make the trip to Ithaca and 1t remains
TO be seen whether or not they fare as
we'll. Judged by scores of games so far
this season, Princeton is somewhat
weaker than last year and Cornell
stronger
Looks Blue for Yale.
Brown usually does not prove such a
strong opponent for Yale, but since the
latter's defeat at Georgia and Browns
victory over Princeton Just about the
opposite may be the case this time. In
other words, if Brown continues to do
as well as it did against Princeton and
Yale does no better than against
Georgia, the Bulldog is not likely to
have such brilliant afternoon.
Dartmouth goes down to Columbia for
It's first big game. Last year 1t beat
Columbia by 81 to T. Penn State plays
New York University in New York, and
since the whipping handed N. Y. U. by
Fordham probably will not have the
prominence In the gridiron world dur
ing the day that it might have had If
N. Y. U. were turning the same tricks 1t
turned in 1928.
One Of the most interesting struggles
for an Eastern eleven Will be that at
Lincoln, Nebr., in which University of
Pittsburgh is to face Nebraska. Pitt has
been moving down its opponents right
and, left. Duke University thought 1t
had quite an eleven. but Pitt went to
Durham, and not much has been heard
of Duke since. Last week it swept West
Virginia OF the boards and, to make
the game really interesting, Nebraska
obligingly whipped Syracuse
OF all the games played last week
not one had more fitting climax, as
far as an entire section of the country
was concerned, than the Yale-Georgia
game at Athens. Yale virtually was the
guest of the entire section, Saturday
being the first time it had ever played
below the Mason-Dixon line. And the
whole South is pleased that it was able
to give the Dark Blue such a welcome
and at the same time send it back to
New England on the short end Of a
shutout score.
Georgia Deserves Plauu1tS.
For Georgia all praise is due Start
ing with a defeat at the hands of little
Oglethorpe, it then won from Furman
and came through in its crucial mo-
ment with a triumph as real as any
ever achieved on a foot ball field. Geor-
gia dedicated beautiful stadium, which
was filled to overlooking, and IN one
short afternoon showed that it had at
tanned a new standard and was able
to maintain it against the strongest OPP
position.
Navy got touchdown in its game
with Notre Dame in the first period,
but could not hold the advantage. The
South Bend eleven shot in its varsity
backs in the second quarter and quickly
evened up the score. However. the Navy
put up a great battle after that and
not until the final quarter was Notre
Dame able to get across the winning
touchdown.
Princeton's defeat by Brown was I'M
expected. The Tigers came through
their game with Amherst with a mar
gin of only one touchdown. but opin-
ions were expressed that they would be
stronger last week. Apparently they
were, but it looks very much as II
Brown were somewhat better than it
was supposed to be. Either Princeton
missed its calculations because Brown
was stronger than expected or Princeton
is not as strong as its supporters might
wish.
Penn had hard time getting away
with Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
The BlackSburg eleven wound up the
first half with the count standing to
against them, but scored early in
the third period to lead by to z. Penn
was baffled until late in the final quar-
ter. when it finally put across the score
and won. However, V. P. /. made gooo
its desire to show we'll on its FIRST trip
to Franklin Field, and has little to re-
greet as a result of its efforts.
Fordham certainly put New York
University on the back seat. It blankeo
Chick Meehan's eleven and scored faI
more points than anybody thought
likely.
Northern Teams Win.
Two Northern elevens took falls out
of two from the South, Army beating
Davidson and Cornell whipping Hamp'
den-Sidney. Both Southern elevens
made better s11owings than the score;
nell a real battle during the flrst hall
End Davidson made every point fol
Army come hard.
Minnesota stopped completely Van
derbilt's running attack and the latter
could not keep its forward passes gain
ing consistently. The Gophers won BY
two touchdowns and field goal against
one touchdown
In all probability the Michigan folk
will be calling for Fielding Yost to taxi
charge of the foot ball team again i
events of last week continue. Michigan
went down to Purdue and got whipped
80 to 16, which probably Represented
more points than the Wolverines usual!
have scored against them in three o.
four games. Chicago beat Indiana, mucl
to the delight of Stages many friends
and Northwestern upset Wisconsin
while Ohio State was beating Iowa b!
one point in other Western Conference
games.
Virginia did better than it expected
in its game with Swarthmore ant
wound it up with two touchdowns, Will
Swarthmore got but one. The Cavalier
played good foot ball from start TO finisl
and we'll deserved to win. Washington
and Lee took a beating from Kentucky
while Tennessee got another game un
der its belt ct the expense Of Missis
sippi.
Local Teams Improve.
Local elevens gave evidence of i'm
provement over their play of the pre-
vious week, although not all of then
were victors. Georgetown, after re
vamping its offense, took the measur
OF st. Louis University, and started o.
what it hopes will be climb tina
eventually may wipe out the unexpecte
defeat by Western Maryland College.
