IN like a dreary year for what
used to be known as the Big Three
Of football. Both Princeton and
Yale we're beaten in their weekend
games, and by teams that beat them
a year ago. II isn't often that this
happens to either Of them.
All the dope seems to indicate the games
we're truly PLAYED and that Brown in win
ming over the Tigers and Georgia winning
over the Bulldogs did so strictly on their
merits. Harvard has not had real tes'

Of the set-up class to tackle the army
another INFESTED eleven.

Pennsylvania gets sound test from

N another expert team out in
South Bend. The Notre Damers
had less trouble against the Navy
team than they did the week before
against Southern Methodist. There
is a good chance that they will go
through the season to another Hat

This week Rockne goes against Carnegie

some of the glamour of the climax game
with the CaIifOrnians has already been
erased. They we're beaten by Washington
State by a single point over the week end.
Not many games we're that closely con-
tested Saturday. Most of them went to
decisive totals.
A N exception among the impor-

victory over the champions of the
Big Ten, Purdue. This ended IA to

Purdue can blame her defeat mainly

most successful trick plays in football

scored her nearly sixty touchdowns since

II was the first time in her history. am

was executed between the 20 and S5-ysrd
line.
