too, perhaps" but 1t is not good thing
to joke about Princeton's present foot
ball efforts Certainly not from the
Princeton view. For some reason, the
Tiger does not seem able to get started,
despite the fact that at Princeton is
some Of the best foot ball material in
the East, if reports are to BE- accepted
at face value. Most assuredly the Tigers
have enough material to make better
showing than they have so far this
Fall First they lost to Brown by a
fair margin, then to Cornell by the
biggest score by which Princeton ever
was defeated, and now Navy is victor
by a very decisive result. Princeton
probably will soon take stock of its foot
ball assets and liabilities, and when 1t
does better news will come from there.
WHAT a battle the Harvard-Yale
w game this Fall is likely to be.
Harvard apparently has the
strongest and most versatile eleven 1t
has turned cut in a decade, while Yale
also is stepping along somewhere near
the gait it once held in the foot ball
derby. And when two good Yale and
Harvard elevens meet, little more is to
be asked in the way OF brilliant foot
ball Somewhere in this land may be
universities which are not thinking
much in terms of foot ball, and
where gridiron activities are somewhat
decadent, but net so at Yale and
Harvard. Both are making determined
efforts to build up their foot ball in
terests and are succeeding.
Y VANDERBILT could not stop Georgia,
Y although it put up the best game
against the Athens School that
any eleven has been able to. The Com
modores lost by to 0, and Georgia
only scored its lone touchdown be-
cause Smith, one Of the greatest ends
in the country, leaped into the air and
dragged down a forward pass behind
Vandys goal line while completelyi
surrounded by foeman backs.
It begins to seem that the only two
schools that have chance to stop
Georgia are New York University and
Tulane The former unquestionably
has one of the most powerful elevens
in the East, and when 1t plays Georgia
in New York probably one of the big
gest crowds of the year will be present.
The latter, after beating Georgia Tech,
80 to 0. does not seem to be getting
any weaker. And it is interesting to
note that Tulane played a much more
decisive game against Vanderbilt than
did. Georgia, "a Tulane won with COM
-psatiye ease ~ 4SssO 0.
NORTH CAROLINA and Virginia
IN Polytechnic Institute put up fine
struggles against Tennessee and
Kentucky. The Tarheels stopped the
brilliant McEver throughout the entire
game, but finally lost 7 to o. North
tunities to score, and with break or
two might have won. 1t Is said that
Tennessee was somewhat overconfident
and showed the effects of its game OF
the previous week with Alabama.
v. P I. put up a great game against
Kentucky, really better than was ex-
pected. The Blacksburg' collegians
fought the Colonies on about even
terms during the first half, but fell
before Kentucky's great strength in the
second.
VIRGINIA lost another game, this
Y time to Washington and Lee
Again Virginia failed to score. In
the four big games in which Virginia
has taken part so far, it has scored
only one touchdown, that against Mary
land en- october 8. Against Sewanee it
was whipped to 0, then lost to Vir-
ginia Military Is to 0. and last week
to Washington and Lee by the same
score. When one takes a look at the
Virginia squad, he is prone to wonder
how the other team docs 1t. as Virginia
has as fine looking group Of men as
any school it has played against
Bill Ingram'S California eleven lost.
O to s, to Southern California, which
is not winning, but far better than the
74-to-0 defeat suffered by California
last year at the hands of the same
school,
NAVY seems to be developing along
IN sound lines, with the objective of
reaching its zenith on December II.
The game with Army even If it is for
charity. means more to Annapolis peo-
pie than any other on the schedule.
Coach Rip Miller pulled his charges
along rapidly enough to whip Princeton
decisively and will try to get them in
good shape to battle PENNSYLVANIA and
Notre Dame, but it is that contest with
Army on which he has his eye above
everything else.
