T HAMILTON, N. Y, November
Fl 13.-With the elimination
i i of Duquesne by Pittsburgh
last Saturday, Princeton
and Army continue to lead the
march for the mythical Eastern
championship.
While the West Point Cadets and
Princeton are still undefeated and un-
tied, the strong Pitt team, that has not
been scathed by an Eastern rival, must
be given much consideration when try
ing to figure out the Easts premier
gridiron outfit. In defeating Dequesne,
Pittsburgh had to overcome not only
very strong Duquesne aggregation, but
it had also to conquer a feeling of self
confidence on the part of the Panther
players and the added handicap of a
very sloppy field.
For Pittsburgh to win under such cir
cumStances Is a real tribute to its great
ness The great line plunging by Full
back WeinStock was the determining
factor of the ball game.
DRNCETON overcame a stubborn
Dartmouth foe to remain In the
undefeated class. The Tigers did
not look as strong as they did against
Columbia and Brown and marred their
offenSe by loose handling Of the ball.
Defensiyely Princeton really outclassed
Dartmouth. A daring bit of strategy
penalty against Dartmouth had given
Old Nassau first down on the Green
25-yard line, the Princeton quarterback
called for first down pass that caught
Dartmouth mapping and scored the win
mig touchdown. With Princeton's run
ming attack fairly well stopped, this
surprise maneuyer was very fine gen.
eralship.
The Army showed altogether too
much all-around strength for a hard
fighting Harvard eleven. The Cadets
put on display versatile running-and
passing attack. The Army team has
really been hard pressed only in their
Illinois game.
New York University put up a sur
prising battle against Fordham The
latter team evidently had reacted mem
tally from their hard game with St.
Mary's and were very nearly upset. The
Rams of Fordham showed real class in
putting over the winning touchdown.
N. Y. q. deserves much credit for its
fine battle over a favored rival
EORGIA showed the advantages
r of getting an early start in its
game with Yale. A first-period
touchdown was the margin between
these two teams. The Yale team showed
progress both extensively and defensive
ly against the Southerners.
Brown staged a great comeback In
its defeat of Syracuse The Bruins are
a better team than their three defeats
fine foot ball team ON Saturday and
outplayed a very good Syracuse eleven.
Columbia had too much power, both
extensively and defensively, for the
Navy. A revamped Columbia line
turned in great performance and to
the Lion forwards go a great deal Of
credit for their victory.
Pennsylvania made very satisfactory
showing against an Ohio State team
that had the Quakers outclasSed, as
far as manpower was concerned.
On muddy field Carnegie and Mich
igan State fought to a scoreless tie.
Each team missed one golden oppor-
tunity to score. Boston College pulled
a surprise in beating Villanova. Rutgers
for the second successive year trimmed
Lafayette. Holy Cross beat Manhattan
easily. Bucknell conquered Furman
Colgate substitutes had a romp against
very weak Ohio Northern team on
snow-covered gridiron.
