- The results of the games last
week end ran fairly true to
form.
was SURPRISED at Gettysburg's 30
defeat of VDlanova. Villanova has a
very strong team. Their team play
last Tuesday at Princeton was remark
ably good for this early in the season.
so the Gettysburg team must be power
full. Villanova suffered a serious loss
through injuries to Morgan and High
field, who will probably be out the rest
Of the season.
Princeton did trifie better than I
anticipated against Amherst, though
there were a lot Of weak points
in the Tigers play. The Princeton
players followed the ball well and
showed plenty of fire and dash.
Mestres is an inspiring leader, which
is good fortune for us. Good leader
ship on the field Is a big asset In foot
ball today. A captain often makes the
team.
Army Versetile.
The Army ran up a large score
against Furman. The West Pointers
revealed a versatile attack from the
double wing back formation.
Yale showed strength against Mary
land, winning 1918. Booth, as usull,
played an outstanding game. That
New Haven boy has developed into a
great triple threat. Last year he was a
magnificent runner and a good punter,
but not much of passer. This year
his passing Is as good as his running
and punting. The Blue attack on the
whole was very strong. Two complete
sets Of backs were used, and all showed
to advantage. II Yale revealed any
weakness, 1t was in its defense against
the forward pass.
Two Harvard teams got into action at
the stadium, and both showed plenty Of
strength, winning from Vermont and
the Coast Guard team. A double
header as an opening feature is very
good idea. It enables a coach to try
out lot Of men.
Pennsylvania and Cornell showed
about as much strength as any teams
in the East, the U. of p. winning from
Swarthmore, CLIO, and Cornell swamp
ing q strong Niagara team, ella. Penn
Gentle, Masters and Greene. The at
tack is built around a man in motion,
and Is well conceived and cleverly ex-
ecuted.
Cornell Is Strong.
With q clever use Of the lateral and
forward pass, Cornell showed great Of
fensive strength against Niagara. Do
bie's team has a strong running game
and q very clever short forward pass.
The Ithacans at this writing look,
stronger than they have for years.
West Virginia held Pitt to a fairly
close score, and showed considerable
strength themselves in the last half.
Carnegie Tech had little difficulty with
Thiel. Bates gave Dartmouth good
game. William and Mary showed a
good passing attack against the Navy,
scoring q touchdown after q long run
Syracuse had a strong attack against
Hobart.
the Massachusetts, Aggies, and must
have a strong team. Ursinus defeated
Haverford. Brown had little difficulty
against Worcester Poly, winning, $50.
Williams showed strength against Mid
dlebury.
Union put up a stubborn defense
against Columbia. Hewitt led the at
tack for the Lions. Fordham ran up
another large score, this time against
Buffalo.
New York University showed plenty
of power against West Virginia Yves
leyan. w. & j. and Penn State each
showed improved play against West
minister and Lebanon Valley. Drexel
Institute played fair game against
Cooper Union. Drexel has a good team
this year. Holy Cross won from Provi-
dence, 27-0. McEwan is of to a good
start. Lafayette had to extend itself
against Muhlenberg.
