The ineifective line of a week ago tore huge | holes In the Southerners’ line and the Individual running Of the backs gave way to well organized interference. The Tiger linesmen had little opportunity to show their defensive prog ress except In blocking kicks and torward passes, for the Maryland back field was slow and the runner usually was halted by his own interference. On the offense, however, the Princeton forwards showed a 100 per cent i’m provement, making holes at viii ana ire auently following through and taxing cut the secondary defense. Capt Mel Dickinson and Whoops , Snively at guard and Pink” Baker and Herb Treat at tackles worked Roper’s new shift formations to perfection.

ON the next kickoff Cleaves ran back sixteen yards and shortly afterward he ran bach q punt twenty-nine yards Sax Tillson, who played his first var sity game yesterday, paved the way LOT the second touchdown when he recovered a fumbled punt on the center Of the ned. On the next play.

The other two touchdowns- came In the last period. Sax Tillson, right end, again made the score possible when he Z blocked Groves’s kick behind his own goal line. and his running mate, Howdie Gray. who played left wing, swooped down on II. Pink” Baker made the first goal on try for point after this touchdown. His drop kicks failed twice before. Sub Makes Touchdown. Watson Crum, second string back, made the last touchdown.

big THREE” ALL EXHIBIT REALSTRENCTH Harvard, Yale and Princeton Promise to Finish Strong. New York, Oct. 22.-Harvard, Yale and Princeton conyincingly demon strated Saturday why they are the big three” of eastern football and through their trio of victories gave cause for the prediction that the an nual 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 it had been “doped,” ended approximately in what critics had expected, a victory for Harvard. In the second half, the Kentuckians showed that they were more than a picturesque collection of gladiators and that they really had football stuff. ! Their fumbles in the first quarter, and their inability + o collect them selves against the Crimson onslaught was a poor picture of what the Colonels really are capable. Harvard proved that it has strength Yale and Princeton showed that they too, have power, the former by van | gushing Williams, 80 to 0, and the Tigers by clawing Maryland, 26 to 0; The upsets Of the day included | Vermont’s amazing victory over Dart mouth, 6 to 3; New York university’s defeat of Columbia. Z to 6; and Wash ington and Lees tie game with West Virginia, IL to u. In three games preceding yesterdays Dartmouth had scored GO points and had prevented its opponents from scoring n point. Nays clean cut victory over Georgia Tech was not an upset, ever though it had the element of surprise. The much heralded jump shift of the Georgians held no terrors for the Middies. who scored in each of the first two periods by a consistent, persistent attack. The Navy was on . top most of the time and deserved its victory of – to 0. Revenge for last years defeat 10 to :, was obtained by the Army in the battle at West Point with New Hampshire in which the final score was 33 to o. The Army showed a well balanced team at the start and later rang in a strong lot of substl- ! tutes.
