  SEVEN BIG TEAMS ON DEFEATED LIST Eleven Others Are Yet to Meet With Disaster /. New York, Oct. 2o.--The path of glory has already led most of the important football elevens of the East to early graves. . Only Harvard. Pennsylvania, syra- cuse, Rutgers. W. and J., Lafayette and Williams remain neither tied nor defeated. Yale, Dartmouth, Princeton and Lehigh, tied but not beaten, rest In gridiron limbo, awaiting the possible coming of their undefeated rivals, all of whom must have most of their important games yet to play. Y Army, Columbia, Colgate, Baston College, Carnegie Tech, Holy Cross and Bucknell were crowded from the constantly narrowing highway Saturday, l The Cadets surrendered to the skill and speed of Knute Rockne’s stylists from Notre Dame. The score, 13 to ‘, does notIrepresent the margin of the westerners victory, the eighth of the series. Crowley, Miller and Lay den of the flying backfeld, ran the ends and punched the line for sus- tained advances which almost added two touchdowns to their total. Armys only penetration of the Hoo- sier 25 yard line was capitalized by it’s score. Rockne will return next weekend to meet the Princeton Tigers, who gave evidence against the Navy of developing into a. typical fighting eleven which might capture the big three championship in a season that has not indicated an outstanding eleven at Yale or Harvard both of whom were pressed hard again on Saturday. Tigers Fling Passes. The Tigers after being pushed around consistently in the first half, unleashed forward pass attack in the second half which not only tied the score but permitted Sam Ewing, a substitute, to kick a field goal in the last quarter for 17 to 14 vic tory. Yale, also an underdog through out the contest, fought to 14–⁠14 tie with the sturdy Dartmouth eleven. Green fumbles were converted by the Blue Hall Hawks into scores. Ober- lander led a powerful Dartmouth at- tack which clearly earned two touchdowns and in the final quarter advanced another attempt to the, two-yard line, where stiffened Yale line made a splendid stand. The Blue then swept into position for an attempt at field goal which was missed. Harvard, with Gehrke and Daley out of the lineup, made two touch- downs in the last quarter against a tiring Holy Cross team to win 12–⁠6 victory, Miller’s tumble permitting the Holy Cross tally in the first per iod but his run in the final quarter won the game. Rutgers loomed more impressive as it’s veteran team beat Cornell 10 to 0, the first shutout experienced by the big Red and its second defeat in four seasons. Benker and Hazel scored for the boys from the Rarl- tan. Cornell again lacked punch in the pinch. Mcbride scAed all of the Syracuse
