    FEW REVERSES IN GRID DOPE ON SATURDAY Pittsburg Only Big Eleven to Be Trimmed. Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.) New York, Oct. 9.-With the exception Of Pittsburgh. who was humSied for the second successive season by Lafayette, the important elevens of the country suffered no reverses on Saturday and thus are resuming practice today with no serious, ineradicable blots upon their. escutcheons. There is no coach who doesn’t place proper value on hard, Cruel ling contest at this stage OF the season. 1t informs him as to the weak spots of his eleven in a way that would otherwise be impossible. 1t seasons the players and let’s them know. at a formative period in their development what a rigid opposition and hard knocks mean. Alison the acid tests applied such offensive equipment as the coach has given his eleven. Yale and Harvard both had workouts to their liking. They were hard enough to put the teams on their mettle and yet not SO hard as to extend the big fellows desperately. Princeton had rougher going against Virginia, which came north with a good line and backs. Play was mainly in Virginia terri tory, but the Tigers could make no touchdowns. AS for Yale North Carolina outrushed her and block ed the Eli punts. ! Georgia’s defeat by Chicago was | not as surprising as the size of score, 20 to 0. The Athens team started the season with high hopes. | Possibly this defeat will bring the Bulldogs to form. Columbia pro- | duced a splendid backfield and a / good line against Amherst. The Blue and White looks like a COM | ing team. In the south Georgia | Tech was held surprisingly small score by Davidson. Evidently the football idea is spreading like a running vine throughout the small southern colleges. Penn State performed well against Gettysburg. thus showing ! logical and normal development. The Army did we’ll to defeat Kan sas, Is to 0. The cadets are being , brought along slowly but surely. Dartmouth gratified her admirers by the showing against Maine and the Navy had nothing more than a breather against Western Reserve. | Tn ta he III Ohio States weak showing against Ohio Wesleyan and Indiana’s score less tie with Depauw. In such manner the lowly rise to deal blow for blow with the big fellows. But Iowa’s overwhelming defeat OF Knox shows clearly that Tad Jones brother is going to bring no humble team to the Yale bowl next Satur. day.
