  |CORNELL’S DEFEAT FORESEEN BY NONE Roper Calls Ursinus’ Win From Gettysburg Years Sharpest Upset. DRINCETON, November s. - The uncertainties of mod. ern foot ball never were better illustrated than in the Columbia Cornell game In New York. Cornell, Up to this game, was undefeated. Columbia two weeks before had been overwhelmed by Dartmouth End yet Columbia won the game, 10–⁠7. OF course every one expected Cornell to win. On past performances it was entitled to enter the game a top-heavy favorite. And this very situation brought about Cornells defeat. Give me the underdog every time provided the team in that position has couple of fighters on its roll. Hewitt was the spark plug for Column bia. His dashing play inspired his team. mates and as a result the Columbia players outdid themselves and won o stirring victory against a strong Cor nell team. lie was Mer1ted. Princeton and Chicago battled to q scoreless tie which about represents the relative merits of the two teams. Both had fairly good passing attack but no close rushing game to supplement the passing game. Modern foot ball demands two parts to any successful attack-flrst, a running game strong enough to put so much pressure on the line as to require line defense of high order: then a forward pass properly marked and cleverly executed is likely to cause trouble. Chicago had good passing attack using back out wide as a decoy and another back in motion in the same or opposite direction. The Princeton detense diagnosed the Chicago passes fairly wall Capt. Mestres played out of the line from center and was of material assistance in stopping Chicago’s passing game. While Princeton elected to play o loose center on defense, Chicago played a sevsn-man line with the wing backs fairly close. The Chicago line defense, supported by the wing backs, stopped Princeton’s running attack. 1t seemed to me our forward passing game should have been more Succ -Ssful than 1t was, because of the fact that Chicago was concentrating on the line plays. Wing Backs Effective. Chicago wing backs really played o beautiful game. They supported their line in fine style and yet were able to stop Princetons passing game enough to prevent score. On the Princeton side there was tina very opposite situation. Princeton’s six man line was strong enough to stop Chicago’s running plays without the Ia~I 80 h. Tawl passing game been q little sharper 1t might have scored, while had Chicago’s running game proved more effective Princeton’s center might have been forced up on the line. In the Pennsylvania kansas game Penn put enough pressure on the Jay hawkers’ line to win out with passes. Kansas had a powerful line and q strong. rugged backf1eld, but Penn had more defense. Dartmouth came mighty near win ming from Yale in the closing period OF the game. 1t was a great game between two high-grade teams. Ursinus Surprises. was surprised at N. Y. us 20–⁠7 victory over Carnegie Tech. The N. Y, U. attack functioned in great shape. Duke was too strong for Villanova. La fayette ran wild against Upsala. One of the big upsets of the day was Muhlenberg’s 24–⁠0 defeat of L. high: But the most surprising up : OF the season was Ursinus’ defeat Il Gettysburg, rated as one Of the strongest small teams in the East. Both the Army and Navy had corr paratively easy days. Harvard cana back in the last quarter and STAYED off defeat at the hands of william & Mary. The Crimson was evidently looking ahead to the Michigan game. (Copyright, $780, by North American News. paper Alliance)
