IFS; Total 6 Possibilities

Barring upsets-and there have been plenty of them this season. three of these teams may hold 10 the same high ratings when the 1891 season is complete. For only two of them are to meet. Penn will play Cornell in their final game of the season.
 The past week end was dis asterous one for two previously un- beaten and united elevens, N. Y. U., and Columbia. The New York CTS were turned upside down by Oregon in the days best surprise. Reasons for the so-called upset were simple: Oregon was under rated; N. Y. U. was overrated; {; Oregon played smart football.
 This Oregon club should be a great one in 1882 with eight sopho- Ynores on the Oregon varsity. The score was 14-6.
 Columbia's 0-13 loss to Cornell was definitely expected but the defeat was one of the most bitetr sustained by a team this season. After years of junior grade teams, Columbia with Lou Little coaching has produced clever team.

Pennsylvania owns a Gates Plan eleven" this fall that is un- defeated. The victory string covers three minor teams and a major tri- umph over Wisconsin, 27 to 13, in the first intersectional clash.
 There was little in the Penn makeup to attract attention until the decisive victory over the Bad gers. Since then, hover, several eastern coaches have been seen in the libraries reading up on the Gates Plan. The ease with which the Quakers polished off Wisconsin while recording only three first downs is evidence that Professor Harvey J. Herman has taught his boys all the answers to the major football problems. He has brought them along carefully on funda- mentals and power plays, with nothing of a highly technical or deceptive nature in their repertoire of plays.
 Pcrina Star
 c Professor Harman is enough of a football student to understand the importance good blocking and fol- lowing the ball play in the success of a team. His charges, particuarly Riblett, Raffel and Colehower, dis rupted Wisconsln's wingback att tacking system, blocked punts and recovered them, and led the way for the drives of Perina, Munger, Gette, Ford and Smith.
 Perina probably Is as good at fulback as any player in the east. He was an excellent prospect last year, but never developed. Since coming under Harman he has learned to block, run with the ball, kick we'll and play Q smart defen- sive game. On top of that. foot ball is fun for Perina. instead of drudgery, as was the case a year ago This also happens to be true with regard to the other Quakers.
 Meet NOtrc Dame
 Pennsyivania's chances of going through the season undefeated are exceedingly slim. The Quakers meet Notre Dame at South Bend Novem- Der and conclude the season Thanksgiving day with Cornell.
 Penn suffered her worst setback in years when the Irish routed them 60 to 20 last year. Notre Dame is said to have reached the peak of perfection for that contest. with the result that Penn was de- moralized from the outset by the swift thrusts of Carideo, Schwartz. Mullins and Brill.
 Only a miracle can save the Quakers' clean record when they face Notre Dame. If Harman can work the miracle, Gates Plan foot ball is made.

CROSBY WINS THIRD STRAIGHT BEATING
 BDCPT CENTRAL
Retains Lead in Valley League With l9 to 0 Victory Kern and Dews Score = Naugy Wins
By GEORGE DILLON

Crosby and Naugatuck high school football teams registered their third and fourth victories in four and five games, respectively at Hamilton Park and Naugatuck Recreation Field Saturday, kal- somining Bridgeport Central, 19 to and Warren Harding, IA to o. to retain first place in the Central Valley league.
 Visitors Heavy
 Behind the fiery feet of Ike Kern and George Dews, the blue and white combination had little diff culty administering Central it's fourth consecutive setback. The red and black outweighed the locals, but were outwitted by their lighter opponents in more ways than one.
 Crosby's exhibition Saturday however, was not up to standard, as the first half found them on even terms with Central regard less of the 60 score which came as a result of bonehead play by Kunsch, Bridgeport signal-caller. The last two quarters found them way ahead of their opponents in all departments.
 Crosby Gets Break
 Crosby scored in the opening period. Kern booted a beautiful punt to Centrars one-yard stripe from where Kunsch got off twenty-yard punt to the side of the field where Kern, standing alone, snatched the pigskin and cavorted the remaining distance for score as Central players, quite distant, watched him gallop unmolested.
 The half ended 70, but the blue increased their margin six points in the third canto on a well exc cuted lateral. Yurgaitis to Kern who zig-zagged through tackle for five yards and a score. In this same period, on a lateral, Trotta to Kern, the latter heaved beau- tiful spiral to George Mulligan who dropped 1t over Central's goal. the bridgeporters taking the ball on the 20-yard mark.
 Dews Docs It.
 The locals chalked up their final marker in the last period when George Dews, picking out a beau tiful hole through tackle, evaded lWO SeCUHudIy HicH lO piou6H oFCl for a touchdown. Mulligan missed Kern's aerial for the extra point.
 Saturday afternoon at Hamilton Park, Crosby plays host to Bulke- ley of Hartford at 2:30 o'clock. Bulkeley took it on the chin Sat urday at New Britain, 32 to 0.
 Naugatuck's Four Horsemen. George Goodwin, Al Ratkywick. Frank Balinsky and Dick Tuckey, hit Harding's line at will in reg istering a 14-0 league triumph. Tuckey and Goodwin scored, the latter adding the extra points on rushes.

HARD LUCK DROPS HEAVILY ON SANTA
 CLARA ELEVEN

San Francisco, Nov 2-UP)- Three Santa Clara football players are so seriously injured that even their teammates were prohibited today from visiting them. They were hurt in the St Mary's game yesterday.
 The casualty list-largest and most serious of any Pacific coast game this season-included Win O'Donnell, Joe Paglia and Charles Teller.
 O'Donnell was feared most seri- ously injured of the three. He suf- fered internal injuries followed by repeated hemorrhages in the ab- domen.
 Paglia had started in the game until forced out with two cracked vertebrae and concussion of the spinal cord.
 Fuller broke his collar bone, his breast bone and two ribs.
 The three players comforted each other in the hospital ward with the knowledge they had left the game with the score tied. They pleaded to learn the final score only to be told that St Mary's pushed over another touchdown to win 21-14.

To-Day's Sport

BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press Staff COrreSpOnucnt
 New York, November 2 - (UP) The Yale-Dartmouth game on Saturday demonstrated very clearly why graduate managers, coaches, athletic directors and others whose very existence is bound up in foot ball, always have been able to smile so blithely when some of this country's minds have predicted growing disinterest in the gridlron sport.
 The graduate managers, coaches, athletic directors. etc, have known all along that If there ever came a time when the customers tired or the game and spent Saturday after moons reading Keats instead or lighting their way into million dol lar stadiums, all they would have to do to revive interest would be to devise ways and means of making the game more spectacular.
 What q Contest!
 That wild-and- -wooly, every-man- for-himself thing in New Haven, Saturday, proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that the custo- mers want fireworks and still more fireworks. It wasn't much of a game from the standpoint of
 orthodox football. but 1t was spec tacular and did the fans love 1t, all accounts I read of the game said the spectators left the Bowl in a state next door to hysteria and nearly all of the men who wrote the accounts said it was one of the greatest games played in years and years.
 What made the Yale-Dartmouth game spectacular? well, I'd say the absence of linemen. Of course, both teams had seven men up there in front of the backfield and called them linemen, but personally. think most of 'em were working under false pretenses. For when in one game the backs spin off ten runs which average a little better than 54 yards each, the linemen are that in name only.
 So. if in few years worst comes to worst, and chess matches start 0utdrawing football, all the ath- !etic directors, coaches, etc, will have to do, is eliminate the line and make the game a track meet be- tween the backs.
 It's a Business
 Such a move would not be any thing new to sports. Baseball, you will remember, was slipping in popularity when the moguls decid- cd to tazz things uD by Introducing

YALE-DARTMOUTH MEET AGAIN AT
 BOWL ON DEC 5

New Haven, Conn, Nov e. Yale and Dartmouth. who bat tied to a 33-33 tic Saturday in ono of the most incredible foot ball games ever seen fin the cast, will meet again on Dec 5 in the unemployment relief round robin tournament.
 Some doubt had been exc pressed as to whether the scheduled 2O-minute games would contain much football but the second period of the wicrd Eli-Indian contest showed fans all the thrills of q full length game could be packed into that period of time.
 This Is believed to be one of tho few times, if not the only time, two big teams have been able to meet twice in n season.

a rabbit ball. This ball, which would jump over the fence even when smacked by an enemic short stop, resulted in more and better home runs, the very thing the GUS toners wanted. Of course, the rabbit ball made a joke of smart baseball and reduced the necessity for a smart defense to a minimum, but the boys and girls loved to see the ball ride over the fences and the thoughtful owners thought 1t best to let them have their way.
 Wrestling did the same thing. The billy-goat butt, the airplane swing, the football tackle. and those other goofy holds" you see at a 1881 wrestling match are no more wrestling than knitting Is. But John M. Public and his family wanted something spectacular and they got it.
 Hockey customers tired of seeing scoreless games and Il ties. so the owners started seeing what could be done about making scoring a little easier. They introduced the forward p1ss and other things and business picked up. Just as soon as they open up the game a little bit more. they'll do even better business. ,t;' ' '' Co. '',' ''''i
