tackled last night In q radio address

Totally aside from the obnoxious
ness of letting the spoilsmen put in

of the hand of the spoilsmen in the

said, adding that theASenate Is to be
asked to strike out this proviso.
The employment increase in the

Danger BesetS Group.
This is our most dangerous group
as far as water accidents are con-
cerned, because it is our most virile,
vigorous and venturesome section of
our population. Those boys who learn
to swim and save lives between IL and
IA are quite effectually waterproofed
against the ordinary run of Summer
time accidents, but there is a vast
number who get through this age, in
which swimming comes easily, with
out being properly instructed.
? 1T is this group which should take
advantage of the offer of The Star
and the Y. M. C. A. to learn SWIM
ming at a place remote from the in
quisitive eyes of more favored friends.
This freedom from embarrassment of
the proximity of the overprivileged as
.sociates is big factor in establish
Ing confidence. which is about SO per
cent of learning to swim.
Mass Teaching Better.
Learning to swim is simplifed by
being in a group of people who are
similarly unframed and eager to
learn. There is a mass enthusiasm
and confidence built up that is far
better than that obtained from in
dividual teaching. The individual
instruction can come later if fear is
overcome and the candidate has
learned that the water will do the
lifting and support the body if the
learner will only furnish a little mo-
tive power.
1T is never too late to learn to
swim-but remember, that the longer
one waits. the harder it is. 1t costs
10 times as much to teach a collie
gian to swim as it would the same
fellow when he was in elementary
school, and the results will be about
one-tenth as good.
However, people can enjoy SWIM

Tiger Held on LIZARD Line.

TIE PASSED to Macmillan for an
other gain of 81 yards, putting
the ball on the Eli 5, but the
Blue stonewan refused to break. Spot
ford hurtled to the 1-yard line after
being stopped once, but Constable
failed to get across the scrimmage
line and, on fourth down, the Ellis
rose with one accord and threw Spof-
ford back for a 2-yard loss, taking
the ball on their 3-yard line.
1t still seemed the Tigers had the
stuff to break through this amaz-
ing Yale defense when they launched
another terrific drive in the third
quarter. With kaufman, Pauk, Con-
stable and Levan all ripping of big
gains, the Bengals swept 50 yards, to
Yale's 8, but the Blue line smeared
two plays and the Eli secondary spoiled
two passes hurled by "Katz" Kadlic
into the end zone. The second Of
these passes was caught by MacMil-
Ian. but the Tiger end was just out
side the end zone and Yale again
took possession.
Levan's injury, soon afterward,
seemed to take the last spark out
of the Princeton attack. The Tigers
didn't register another first down dur
ing the rest Of the game. They not
only were outplayed and outfought,
but actually put back on their heels
by Roscoe's passes and Fuller's su-
perb ppnting for the last 20 min
utes Of the game.

FulIer's Punting Big Aid.

TULLER'S spectacular punting was
the biggest single factor in
Yale's successful defense. The
Eli halfback consistently outbooted
Garry Levan and Hugh Macmillan,
the Tiger kickers. Several of his
spirals covered 60 yards or more from
the line of scrimmage. In the final
quarter, with the Yale stands chant
ing the 'undertaker's song" Fuller
punted out Of bounds on Princeton s
1-yard line and again on the 3yard
stripe, to keep the baffied Tigers at
bay.
So bungling we're Princeton's efforts
and so alert was Yale's defense that
the Tigers were lucky they didn't take
a bigger licking. Princeton was kept
bottled up in its own side of the
field in both the first and final quar-
ters by the combination of Fuller's
kicking, Jerry Roscoe's runbacks and
Tiger fumbling. Where Yale's back
field quartet of Roscoe, Fuller, STRAIT
ford Morton and Kim Whitehead han
died the ball beautifully throughout,
Princeton three times lost the ball on
fumbles by Levan, Spofford and Con-
stable
Until he was hurt by colliding with
bench on the Yale sidelines in the
third period and temporarily removed
from the game. Garry Levan almost
single-handed pulled Princeton out of
the doldrums. Levan galloped Al
yards, the longest run Of the day from
scrimmage, to start a Tiger march of
70 yards that was halted only a yard
from the Eli goal in the second period.

THERE was little commendable in

Jump on the foe. And it wasn't be-
cause the Annapolis forwards were Sc
greatly outclassed. They simply did
not 60 about their foot ball with the
skill and precision shown by the Pan
ther linemen.
Blocking seemed to be beyond Navy's
ken. In attack its players sifted
through the Pitt forward wall. But
not often was the path cleared for a
fair gain by Navy ball carrier. The
Sailors swung themselves at the Pitt
obstacles, but certainly not cleverly
enough to be effective Those Navy
backs never had q chance with their
running game.
From the start when Pitt took
the kickoff and drove 80 yards
to score there never was Q
doubt as to Nays inferiority.
All the Sailors had up their sleeves
that they managed to get away with
was a tricky pass. And they did not
get away with that often. Better
grounded in fundamentals, however,
Navy probably would have given a
much better account of itself, al
though it never would have looked a
winner.
The only consolation Navy can get
from the game is in not being ousted
from the major undefeated ranks
without company. Princeton, Syra-
cuse and Illinois fell with it. And
there still is the big Army game ahead.
You can bet your roll Navy will be

battle.

A NNAPOLIS, Md, November II.
~ Nays fond hopes of carry
n ing perfect record into its
gridiron duel with Army a
fortnight away were smashed by the
relentless fury of a Pittsburgh attack
that bowled over everything in its
drive to 31-to-7 decision here today.
Victor in seven consecutive games
and recognized as the best Navy team
since 1926, the Sailors were at no
time a match for the Golden Pan
theirs. who resorted to straight, hard
driving foot ball for touchdovns in
every period save the second.
Before one of the largest crowds
ever to jam into Thompson Field
Stadium - $4,000 spectators - Pitts
burgh crushed the Sailors with two
long marches for touchdowns in the
opening period and the pleas of l,7OO
blue coated, white-capped Midsnip-
men were of no avail to this scrap
ping young Navy team that found its
weapons all but useless against the
armor of Pitt.
The Pittsburgh linemen pried holes
in the Navy forewall through which
the ball carriers darted, always pre-
ceded by one or more burly interfer-
ers to handle the Navy secondaries.
Whether it was an off tackle shot
or an end sweep. all the Pittsburgh
runners had to do was lug the ball.
for their way was always cleared by
fast, efficient blockers.

TWICE-once in the second and
again in the third quarter-Col-
gate stopped the Syracuse attack
inches from the goal line, taking the
ball on downs after the Orange had
marched SO yards the first time and
80 yards the second time. Roaring on
high through midfield, Louis Ginter,
Vannie Albanese, Bill Mammosser and
Lou Stark, piled up II first downs to
6 for Colgate, yet they were just line
buckers, without single varying
threat when they got down there to
the goal line and the Raiders massed
in the forward wall
Syracuse, despairing Of breaking
Colgate's magnificent forward wall on
the goal line, tried everything, toss
ing l8 passes in a weird heaving dis
play that likewise got them nowhere.
Only two of these tosses were COM
pleted for Al yards of gains, while the
Raiders, staid outfit in comparison
to the displays they have been put
ting on all season, tried only seven
and completed two for yards.
