  MORE UPSETS OF FOOTBALL DOPE ON COLLEGE GRIDS ON SATURDAY New York, Nov. 5-(By the A. P0 Already battered by a series of ma jor upsets this season, eastern foot ball dope sustained three distinct and separate shocks Saturday when w. & J. gained a closely fought victory from Lafayette at the Polo Grounds, 14–⁠13: Alabama humbled Penn at Philadelphia 9–⁠7, and Syracuse trl- umphed over Nebraska on the formers S gridiron, 9–⁠6. Penn, after rising to the heights week ago by conquering the power ful Navy eleven, was the victim of the most startling reversal. Figured an easy winner. the Red and Blue was caught unprepared by the swift flashy offensive of the southerners, who also showed well on the defense when a desperate quaker eleven fought to turn the tide in the closing mo- ments of the game. W. ( J. Wins Close Battle The aggregations unbeaten since late in the season of 1920 met at the Polo Grounds, and w. and J. emerged the victor over the favorite, Lafay- cite, after the brilliant rally in the second half. Lafayette led, 13 to O., at the halfway mark but the Presi- dents unleashed series of trick plays and forward passes to overcome this advantage. The climax came when Captain Brenkert threw a forward pass over the line to Kopf for the point from try after the second touch down, the play that decided the game. Syracuse Wins Syracuse, which showed it’s mettle a week ago in holding Penn State to tie, turned back the heavy, veteran Nebraska eleven in battle that surg ed back and forth until the final whis- tie. The Cornhuskers leading 6–⁠3 in the final quarter, appeared headed for victory until a tumble gave the Orange it’s opportunity, a 25 yard march resulting in the touchdown that won the game. Subs Used by Princeton and Harvard Harvard and Princeton, carefully guarding their regulars for next Sat aaurday’s struggle, relied chiefly on substitutes in their games, but while the Crimson had no difficulty down. ing Florida, A to 0, the Tigers had their hands full in defeating Swarth- 1 more, P to 13. Florida’s heavy aggre- gation was unable to solve the Har- yard system at any stage of the game Princetons second string men, On the other hand, fumbled frequently and il WAS only by a second rally that the l Orange and Black turned back tht | little Quakers.
