whistle shrilled was that between
Duquesne and Pitt. The Panther,
conqueror of Ohio State, was said
by coaches and other experts to
be the best team in the Eastern
territory. But it went down be-
fore Duquesne for the first time
in the history of the intra-clty
rivalry.
There was no fluke about the
victory of the Dukes. The line,
led by Capt. Mike BaSrak, out
fought the Panthers most OF the
time. Finally George Matsik
started up off tackle, stepped
into the clear behind hard cut
ting interference to run for the
games lone touchdown. This
Matsik works in the steel mills
in the summer to keep in cond1-
ton fol- football.
The fall of Princeton was a
surprise rather than an upset;
Penn, it was admitted on all
sides. had manpoWer sufficient
to cope with any team in the
country. That power worked IN
fits and starts against Yale, but
not with sufficient continuity OF
pressure to bring off a victory.
It was not power OF attack,
however, that beat Princeton.
EMERSON caught punt and sped
nearly so yards to give Penn its
first victory over the Tiger since
1894, when Capt. Arthur A.
Knipe, All America halfback;
George H. Brooke, All America
halfback; Charles M. Wharton,
Wiley Woodruff and 9th erS
triumphed by a score Of II to 0.
Penn did have the stuff to re-
pulse all Princeton on the three
yard line. and guy named
O'Neill helped ODER to turn back
the Bengal lunges. Twice Penn
stopped Princeton on the nine
ward line, The defensive power
was there, at any rate.
Kelley Comes Through
Yale needed man OF the
moment against Navy on SATURDAY
and as usual, the man OF the
moment was found in Capt. Larry
Kelley. Larry tore after a pail
which Snead Schmidt had fumbled
and in attempting to scoop 1t up,
booted it toward Nays goal. He
went on, picked up the ball on the
two yard line and carried 1t over
the last stripe for what the crowd
thought was a touchdown.
The officials ruled that the ball
went to Yale at the actual point
of recovery. It was placed IN play
on the two yard line.
There was much debate over the
decision OF the officials, as many
contended that Kelley had kicked
a free ball, and that the leather
should go to Navy at the point of
the foul. This is provided for in
Section 4 of Rule 10, but there is
an Approved Ruling which covers
the kicking of a loose ball. The
Rules Committee recognizes the
possibility of accidental kicking
when player is rushing to recover
a free ball, and the rule is estab-
lished to cover only deliberate kick
ing of the ball.
It was the judgment of the Off
Gals that Kelley had not del1ber-
ately kicked the ball, and their de-
cision was predicated upon this
judgment.
Along the trail there were some
highly interesting developments.
Maryland with the flashing Bill
Guckeyson played to expectations
of all it's boosters and defeated the
Cavaliers of Old Virginia. Guckey-
son scored only one touchdown IN
the game. This was the least i'm
portant consideration. That he
was able to break into the game
and play with his accustomed
brilliance was more important
than his contributing touchdown
to score that reached generous
proportions.
Guckeyson Shines
If Guckeyson suffered no seri-
Gus bumps in the game; if he
can carry on and help Maryland
in the trying games to come,
there will be general rejoicing.
Georgetown confirmed the
many nice things said about it
by defeating Bucknell at Crit
fifth Stadium, developing a splen-
did, well-rounded attack. Tommy
Heating put on show for the
crowd and was the toast of the
Blue and Grey in football circles
on Saturday night.
Monk Meyer proved too much
for Harvard's legions on Saturday
and hung a beating on the Grim
son to the tune of 80 to 0.
This was the second most de-
cisive beating suffered by Army
or Harvard in their series which
was inaugurated back in 1895.
Four years ago Army won IS to
0. Just twice in the game did
Harvard cross into Army terrain.
The weather was the worst in
the world and drove hardy New
Englanders home before the third
period. But Meyer ran riot de-
spite the elements.
