New York, Oct. 14.-Of the many football games played the big majori- ty resulted in hard fought contests, which provided plenty of entertain. ment for the onlookers.

Harvard found Williams stubborn and aggressive and was lucky to escape being scored on. Pennsylvania got re- venge for the defeat by Swarthmore last year, but victory was hard to earn, and O’Brien, the Swarthmore quarterback. was a constant menace and scored two pretty goals on drop kicks. Trinity proved unexpectedly strong against West Point and was only beaten 12 to O. Cornell had her work cut out to beat Colgate, IS to O, but this atoned in part for the tie game year ago. Annapolis caught a tartar in Vanderbilt and was glad to escape with a tie game at to 6. Yale more than tripled her score against Holy Cross last year and played fast football, while Princeton beat Bucknell 52 to in a loosely played game, in which the forward pass failed to work to advantage.
