FORDHAM HAILED
 AS LEADING TEAM
Victory Over New York U.
 Eleven Outstanding in East

4As'" standing eastern football team. For some weeks the local experts have been predicting great things for Major Frank Cavanaugh's eleven. But few, if any, went so far as to predict flatly that the Pans would win over Chick Meehan's N. Y. u. Violets, and none dreamed that Fordham would run up a 2G-0 score.
 Despite the loss of Strong, Bara- bee and Hill, the Mechanics were supposed to have a great combina- ton, a strong line and a diversified attack built around Toilet and Con- nor. The Fordham line. however, won it's own battle against the N. '. U. forwards, and the backs, headed ed by the unpronounceable Piecule- wicz, Murphy and Fisher, sub quar- ter, displayed a full bag of tricks.
 Harvard, although playing a weak eleven on Saturday, is now rated with the best in the eastern area l The Crimson won from New Hamp- shire, $50, and is already favored i by many to win from Army next 1 Saturday. Army beat Davidson or Saturday, 23-7. but had tougf time with the supposedly easy south. crn eleven. The Davidson varsity out played Army for two periods ant held a 7-3 lead at the half.
 Yale's stock dropped when th' Els lost 10 Georgia at Athens, 0-15 Navy, although downed by Notr' Dame. TIA, is nobody's weak sister The Navy may win the rest of thei games. Notre Dame ought to talk the rest of theirs.
