    Among those which passed out of the picture, insofar as national championship recognition is concerned. are Nebraska, Oregon, Michigan, Georgia and Purdue. Unexpected Scores Probably the strangest feature of Saturdays games were the I’m” holy whalings melted out by Ten nesSee to Vanderbilt, by Southern California to oregon and by Texas Christian to Texas. In all pre-game dope these opponents were figured so closely together that ties were considered probable. Tennessee smote Vandy, 80 to 6; Ell Trojan walloped Oregon, rs to 0; Texas Christian won over U. of Texas, 30 to 0. Minnesota’s record to date in the Western Conference is an odd one. The Gophers have won only one and have tied four. The feature of Saturdays local football game activities probably was the so-called riot” of George. town students. It appears that Georgetown has not lost all its color. The Skibos, of Carnegie Tech, so the morning newspapers state, plan to drop” Georgetown. It is alleged that the Hoyas students rotten-egged the carry all toting the Carnegies. Fur. Their, it is said that Howard Harpster. young mentor to the Skibos, was much upset because Jack Hagerty, coach Of the Hoyas, did not pay a social call to the Tech dressing room after Carnegie had won the game. OF course, it is inapropos for bold, bad students to toss rotten eggs. However, in business it is not the custom of the fellow who loses out in business deal to dash off to congratulate q wolf of Wall Street. Incidentally, one wonders just how much money Georgetown lost on the Tech games of 1882 and 1888. Neither game drew much Of a crowd. Odd Spectacle The odd spectacle Of two Off Gals battling it out between themselves to decide whether a player slugged or not was offered in the Catholic University-Man” haitian game. Mr. j. E. Madden, umpire one of the two officials, won out over Mr.. w. L. Boy son, referee. proving. if anything. that Mr.. Madden is a better wrangler than Mr.. Boyson, al though those who read of the incident probably figure Mr.. Boyson won in the long run. since he showed the better sense. Perhaps Mr.. Madden never played football and therefore doesn’t understand what is meant by the expression “heat Of battle” Or perhaps, Mr.. Madden loves the word disgrace” 1t seems a shame to make q youngster the goat in such an in cident. The cruelty of the Incl dent is self-evident when one realizes that the two officials al most had to come to blows before they could decide the issue. Punts Stand Out If it were necessary to penalize C. U. 35 or 40 yards why not call seven or eight men offside and penalize on the basis of five yards per man? Coach Arthur Dutch” Bergman would not have resented it, and the same purpose would have been served. One remarkable feature Of Saturdays play involves George. town and Navy. Viskovich. who punts for Georgetown, and Clark. CONTINUED on Page 20, COL y
