Fordham Shine-Navy and
Colgate Near Top.
BY w. w. ROPER.


PRINCETON, N. j., October q.
r Eastern foot ball was full of
Il sensational play on Satur-
day. The results of the
games show Yale, Dartmouth.
Army and Fordham out in front,
with Colgate and Navy stepping
along as close seconds.
Yale and Army staged a great battle
at New Haven. Yale scored early in
the game on a blocked kick and after
the first score played mainly a de-
fensive game. Fortunately for the
Blue, on the try for point an Army
man was offside and. although Yale
did not make the kick, the point
counted.
Army gained lot of ground as the
records show, but the rugged Yale de-
tense held them to a single score
the game was great loss to Yale.
Fordham played great foot ball
against powerful N. Y. U. team and
won, TO.
The Navy played a strong game
against Princeton Their attack checked
beautifully all through the game and
their forwards charged low and hard
on both offense and defense. The An
napolis boys played a double wing-back
formation with an unbalanced line
Their attack was particularly strong
inside and outside of tackle.
Nays Play Brilliant.
have never seen team play better
together than Navy did and they de-
served their victory by their brilliant
play. Defeated the week before by
Duke University, the Midshipmen GER
tainly staged wonderful comeback.
Capt. Nestres was a tower Of strength
IN the Princeton line.
Amerherst was held to a 1919 tie
by Wesleyan. Brown played real foot
ball against a powerful Holy Gross
team. Colgate swamped Penn State
with its versatile attack.
Bucknell made q surprisingly good
score against Gettysburg. Gettysburg
has made a remarkable record this
Fall This game shows how little de-
pendence can be placed on compare
tive scores.
Temple defeated Bucknell and Get
tysburg won from Villanova, yet Buck
nell won from Gettysburg.
The powerful Dartmouth team.
through its ability to stop Harvard's
lateral passes, defeated the Crimson
In close and most interesting game
Harvard, led by Capt. Ben Tichnor,
made some great defensive stands
against Dartmouth's attack. should
say the score of z to about repre-
teams.
Temple Villanova Strong
One of the most Interesting and
hard-played games Of the daS was
staged In the municipal stadium of
Philadelphia between Temple and villa
nova. It was contest between the
hidden ball play taught by Bert. Bell, p
master hand, and the speed Of Notfe
Dame as taught by Harry Stuhldreher
While there was little to choose between
the teams, villanova had q slight edge.
The Villanova team deserves all sorts
Of credit for its comeback after two de-
feats.
Pennsylvania Is again on the upgrade
The Quakers showed q real offense
against Lehigh, with plenty of power
and deception. Penn, despite the Wis
consin defeat, is strong team
Pittsburgh was unable to hold Notre
Dame, though the Panthers put UP a
hard fight and improved as the game
went on. Notre Dame had too much
man-power. Rockne's team scored all
its points in the first half
The Notre Dame short side plays
worked to good advantage. Rocknes
attack Is hard to stop. The end Is the
king pin Of the whole attack, and, while
Notre Dame Is particularly strong on
the long side, their short side plays are
always a constant threat. Pittsburgh
had to shift against the strength and,
as a consequence, the short side plays
worked with telling effect
Syracuse had little difiiculty with st.
Lawrence, and Rutgers looked much
better against Delaware. Columbia had
difficulty winning from Williams, but
showed improvement over its play
against Dartmouth.
