  “BIG THREE” WON SATURDAY GAMES IN EASY FASHION Centre CoIoneIs at Times Showed Flashes of Real Football Ability New York, October 17.-Harvard. Yale and Princeton oonvincingly demonstrated Saturday why they are the ‘‘big three” of seAtern football, and through their trio of victories gave cause for the prediction that the annual group of contests among them late in the season will be of sizzling intensity. Overshadowing in popular interest all the other contests staged in the eastern arena last weekend was the Harvard Centre game at Cambridge, which. while not fought as closely to form as 1t had been “doped.” ended approximately in what critics had ex- pected. victory for Harvard. In the second half the Kentuckians showed that they were more than a picturesque collection of gladiators and that they had real football stuff. Their fumbles in the first quarter and their inability to collect them |selves against the Crimson onslaught was a poor picture of what the Col onels really are capable. Harvard proved that 1t has strength. Yale and Princeton showed that they. too. have power, the former by vanquishing Williams. 3S to 0, and the Tiger by clawing up Maryland. 26 to O. The fact that both the Blue and the Black and Orange kept their goals from being crossed gave both teams the prestige that they had not enjoyed this season. CoIoneIs Scored. Anyway The touchdown that Quarterback Covington made in the last period for Centre was the first made against the Crimson team this year. The upsets of the day included Vermont’s amazing victory ever Dart mouth, to 8: New York university’s s defeat of Columbia, to 6, and Wash ington and Lees tic game with West Virginia. 12 to 13. In three games preceding yesterdays Dartmouth had scored so points and had held Its op- ponents scoreless. Cornells victory over Colgate wal a clean. stubbornly fought contest de void of flukes. In which the better team won. Penn’s victory over Swarthmore. 14 to 6. by last period rally, was one of the sensational de. velopments of the day. All accounts of the warfare al Bethlehem. Pa. are that Lehigh out played Brown. even though the Penn sylVanla lnstltution loSt, to 2. Pop Warmers Pittsburg Panthers humiliated by previous defeats by i Lafayette and West Virginia, won a rough and tumble game from Syra- cuse, z1 to 14. Navy Won UeauIy Navys clean-cut victory over Geor- gia Tech was not an upset, even though 1t had the element of surprise The much heralded jump shift” oi the Georgians held no terrors for the Middies, who scored in each of the first two periods by a consistent at- | tack. Though both teams went score less in the last half. the Navy was on top most of the time and deserved Its victory of is to o. Revenge for last years defeat, Ic to ‘, was obtained by tho Army in the battle at West Point with New Hampshire, In which the final score was S3 to 0. Though without the services of two stars. the Army showed a well-balanced team at the start and later rang In q string of substitutes.
