  n YEW YORK, October 10 M Heading into more serious l Y competition, E a t n elevens forging to the front for sectional recognition already have indicated this region will see a standard of foot ball COM parable with the best to be Of fered in any other part of the country this season. On the returns, Pittsburgh and Ford ham continue two of the EaSt’s strongest. Each has been tested by formidable rivals, although the scores might not indicate it. But Pittsburgh, defeating Duquesne, and Fordham, romping away with Buckenll, by comfortable scores, did so against better than fair oppoSiton. HARVARD, Colgate and Army are as j / yet untested, but with potential ability to force their way into the front rank. Colgate and Army will receive severe trials this week. Colgate meeting a very good Lafayette team and Army faces the task of attempt ing to stop Pitt. In the next group of Eastern elevens, any one of which may climb into the top class before October is finished, are Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Holy Cross, Columbia, New York University, Penn, Temple, Yale and Carnegie Tech. On a virtual level with them are some more fine outfits which, although not unbeaten, still may turn out to be among the sections leaders. Princeton, Navy, Lafayette, Syracuse and Villanova are in this group. There were few upsets Saturday in a day of well-played foot ball in the East. Ohio Wesleyan’s victory over Syracuse. of course, was unlocked for, as was Waynesburg’s 7–⁠6 triumph over Penn State. At Syracuse the loss by injury of Fullback Lou Stark may be more far-reaching than the loss of the game in which the Orange. failed to marshall the power at its command. TUFTS, scoring two touchdowns over L Bates team that tied Yale a week earlier, provided one of the really startling results of the Eastern day. Coach Manly directs a sturdy outfit at Tufts, but, in addition, 1t may be his squad was fortunate enough to catch Bates little off balance after its great feat against the Ellis. Yale and Chicago, in their TT tie and remarkably close battle, ran about true to form, although 1 had expected to see the Ellis win. Dartmouth showed some fine backs in Ffshman, Clark and Powers in working out the big Green’s lone touchdown against Lafayette. The result should encourage Dartmouth as it launches its new shifting attack Navy, one of the upset victims of the week before, began to show some of its true power in its 33-to-0 victory over Washington and Lee and uncovered a back in Chung-Hoon, who promised much last year and should fulfill that Carleton was less eXacting but both service teams now seem to be under way, although Army this week must clear probably its severest hurdle, excepting Notre Dame. BOUT the Columbia Princeton n game, which Columbia was for tunate enough to win by 20–⁠7, the feature was the surprisingly fine early season development the Tigers nave attained under Coach Fritz Crisler. We at Columbia had expected a rugged team with a good supply OF Individual ability, but had not realized the Tigers would present a team so well developed and so polished in the mater Of carry ing out individual assignments. The game indicated clearly that Coach Crisler and his aides have been doing an effective job of coaching and that a year from now, when Crlsler has had real opportunity to establish his methods, Princeton may be eXpected back in its old place as major foot ball power Even in the last min utes of the game, when the score had gone against them. the Tigers were threatening and there was never hint Of disorganization Crisler has brought East with him an attack that combines deception with power in good measure and there are some fine foot ball players, both in the line and backfeld, to put it on. A month from now, when some OF tne Princeton plays growing out OF the shifting offense have been smoothed out little further, they will presen, troubles enough for any defense. TOLUMBIA showed improvement ~ which was gratifying, although there were still many missed as signments and much less smoothness than will be necessary as the season advances. have been asked whether the new rules are working out satisfactorily ano if they have yet exerted any distinct influence on the attack and defense. don’t believe the new rule restricting the use of hands in defense has af. fected the balance between the two departments of the game. Having talked with coaches from various parts of the country, my feeling Is the. OH cials have not yet begun in most case! to enforce the rule as they are empow’ cred to do this year. So far as car see, there has been very little change. I also have noted that officials ir many cases are taking out the full two minutes when team is charged with time out” for the purpose OF making a substitution, whether or not the full two-minute period Is requested. Thi will have the certain result Of slowing I’D the game unnecessarily.
