1aue. 1ney were 10 aCL DIS dlu During the first five minutes of play against Auburn G.. WIS wing backs on defense faded back. Auburn scored quick touchdown. Then G. WIS wing backs on defense decided that G. WIS coaches knew something about football. The defensive units of the Buff and Blue obeyed in structions. Auburn did not score again. Notre Danes wing backs on defense faded when Carnegie Tech was in a spot to score in the early part of the first period. Carnegie Tech scored After that little lesson Notre Danes defensive backs realized that Hunk” Anderson knows foot ball. They obeyed instructions. Carnegie could not score again. Lou Titles defensive backs just about disobeyed LOUIS in structions all afternoon against Princeton. Columbia lost, 20 to 0. Backs Faded Auburn’s backs were told to bolster their tackles. AubIrn’s backs faded, rather than to move forward and in to aid hard-pressed tackles OF the Plainsmen. G. w. raped out three touchdownS. Truly, college football coach has his difficulties. Leaders continued to topple Saturday. Notre Dame, Pitts burgh, Southern California came humping downward. What goes up must come down. Michigan stayed up. So did Fordham and Carnegie. Alabama came back with a bang. Min nesota, too. Duke continued its winning ways. G.. w. cracked into the national circle of major elevenS. Western Maryland defeated Georgetown. The HoyaS with one injury reveal just enough weakness for a Shrewd opponent to realize what it is all about. The Hoyas knew the kind of foot ball player to expect in Shepherd, halfback. Inspired v. M. I. Maryland’s team, improving each Saturday, went down before an inspired V. M. I. eleven. Maryland’s line will find itself one of these days and trouble lies ahead for the opposition. V. M. rs forward wall decided the issue. The Keydets are bad medicine when they decide that they want to lick the other fellow. In stiff competition, the kind many teams ran into Saturday, breaks often decide matters. Numerous games were decided on breaks. Rut o. the green, as the golfers say. That Holy Cross win over Harwards best team in years indi- Gates that Catholic University is an moderated team. Contrary to general opinion, G. w. did not enter Saturdays game the under-dog. AS matter of hard, cold fact, G. w. was favored to win among smart foot ball men. One wonders if G. WIS sentimental conscience, so gal lantly revealed before and during the clemson game will be shocked to learn from representatives of Americas major football teams think that a sentimental conscious is the most tiresome of all altruiStS?
