Only in recent years Dartmouth has become great factor in eastern football and this season having defeated Princeton de- cisively in New York and halding Har- ward to a single touchdown Saturday, it has attracted and held the attention of the greatest experts. The other great game was that tie af- fair between Cornell and Chicago-a bat tie as fierce as any other fought this season. In the south Techs return to form after its awful A to drubbing by Auburn, caused much surprise. sewanee won from the crew of Heisman by single touchdown, and Sewanee. as is remembered lost to Auburn by score of only to O.

Sewanee assuredly has no such team as wore the purple last season. and the win ner of the annual Thanksgiving battle between Vanderbilt and Sewanee is a toss-up.
