  CAVALIERS DEFEAT SWARTHMORE, TT SIoan’S Brilliant Running Saves Day for Virginia in Ragged Game. BY the Associated Press. - CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Octo- Der 12.-Captain John Sloan S brilliant running enabled Vir- ~ ginia to nose out Swarthmore today, IL to T. in loosely played game marred by frequent FUN oles and many penalties. The Cavalier captain seemed the only Virginian able to advance against the PennSylvanians. The way he carried back kicks and ran from scrimmage put his team in scoring positions. Sloan was a victim of the fumbling epidemic, for he lost the ball behind the Swarthmore goal after a 20-yard gain around end. Most of the little Quaker gains came through the air, but they also showed versatile assortment of backs. The Wis itors made eight first downs to twelve for the home eleven. Several Cavaliers were injured during the play. After bungling many chances the Virginians were able to. remain undefeaIed by a rally in the final quarter. Sloan’s 3O-yard gain placed the Cava- Tiers in scoring position. After Swarthmore had held on the one-yard line, Sloan ran back Schemb’s punt to pave the way for Levy to buck center for the winning touchdown.

  FORDHAM HAILED AS LEADING TEAM Victory Over New York U. Eleven Outstanding in East 4As’” standing eastern football team. For some weeks the local experts have been predicting great things for Major Frank Cavanaugh’s eleven. But few, if any, went so far as to predict flatly that the Pans would win over Chick Meehan’s N. Y. u. Violets, and none dreamed that Fordham would run up a 2G-0 score. Despite the loss of Strong, Bara- bee and Hill, the Mechanics were supposed to have a great combina- ton, a strong line and a diversified attack built around Toilet and Con- nor. The Fordham line. however, won it’s own battle against the N. ‘. U. forwards, and the backs, headed ed by the unpronounceable Piecule- wicz, Murphy and Fisher, sub quar- ter, displayed a full bag of tricks. Harvard, although playing a weak eleven on Saturday, is now rated with the best in the eastern area l The Crimson won from New Hamp- shire, $50, and is already favored i by many to win from Army next 1 Saturday. Army beat Davidson or Saturday, 23–⁠7. but had tougf time with the supposedly easy south. crn eleven. The Davidson varsity out played Army for two periods ant held a 7–⁠3 lead at the half. Yale’s stock dropped when th’ Els lost 10 Georgia at Athens, 0–⁠15 Navy, although downed by Notr’ Dame. TIA, is nobody’s weak sister The Navy may win the rest of thei games.
