  MACHINE AGAIN AFTER TITLE of Being Leading Eastern Football Eleven. DARTMOUTH GAINS FAME Light Hanover Eleven Brings Hops BY Defeat of Strong West Virginia Outfit. The fast Colgate eleven which care ried off the Eastern gridiron cham pfonship last season is again pointed toward that honor. While 1t is early yet to come to conclusions of sound value. Hamilton college has shown the same sort of talent that won II a rlace at the top year ago. Saturday, the Colgate team swamped Cornell 20 to 0 and. while Cornell must not be judged by the high standards of for mer years, Colgate’s victory was new ertheless impressive. Last year Coach Bankart had a oackheld at Colgate which was drilled almost as perfectly as four men can De drilled. There were Clio, Spencer. Hubbeli and Anderson. Colgate, this year, has this same seasoned back field, with the exception of Quarter back Anderson, whose place is being capably filed by Mcbride. Mcbride has shown the same excellent quail ties as Anderson with surprising sue cess for new player. Colgate’s coach this year Is Harry McDeayitt. an old Dartmouth player, who seems to be carrying on. the plans which were so successfully laid by Bankart. Wooster Is being groom ed to take Vests place as a kicker, and the line includes woodman. who was substitute for West last season; CARROLL, last years substitute center, and Castalanes, who was one of the best endss In the game last season These are some of the reasons that Colgate Is likely to repeat last years success. Cornelrs showing thus far has been a sorry disappointment. and It is doubtful II Coach Sharpe Will be able to overcome the handicap of the loss of so many of last years talent through enlistmA ants 1t is, however. to CornelIs credit that those who are tinue football in spite of the fact that the available material In below nor NAL. Dartmouth i’m the Ifmeiight. Dartraouth’s football future sudden ly becomes brighter as the result of the impressive victory over West Virginia, touted rs one OF the most dan Serious elevens in the South. Dart mouth won to through fast, we’ll executed. old fashioned football TAG ties-Its light hnckfieid had SO much taineers was ripped up badly. This light, undeyeloped line OF Dartmouth’s has been the greatest problem that Coach Spears has had to solve. and the manner In which 1t came through against the strong West Virg!nians is a source OF much qualification to the followers of the Hanover eleven. 1t Is no slight task to stop a backfield which is made up Of such players as Rodgers and Harris. and Saturdays triumph was quite a feather in Dart mouths cap. The overwhelming football machine Glenn Warner has built up at Fits burg continued on its crushing way by beating Syracuse rs to 0. Warner has again demonstrated that he Is one OF the ~@ses. offensive coaches. Sad there will probably be no eleven this season which viii Se able to boast of the scoring ability of Pfttsburg. In McLaren P;ttsburg has q veteran full back who ranks with the best. and Judging from Pittsburg’s work up to the present time. there seems to be little difference between this years team and the powerful elevens Warner has coached during the last two years. The forward pass has again become the most frequently used scoring play this season. AS much as some of the older coaches object to it’s use. this weapon of attack has become essen tial to the successful eleven. 1t Ia still a dangerous play. but a. pretty one to watch when skilifulIy played. When 1t fails 1t is much like the squeeze play in baseball flat dis appointment. The play, however, has developed an alertness among players and an uncanney perception at follow ing the ball which makes football far more interesting than ever before.

  Colgate Smashes Cornell Defence ITHACA. y. Y. Oct. 2O.-CornelPs defence went all to pieces against the great backfeld Of the Colgate football machine on Schoellkopf Field this afternoon. and when Hubbell. Gillo and Srencer had stopped ripping holes in the Red and white forward bulwarks the score was 20 TO o, with Cornell scoreless for the first time since games were started on the rev athletic field. From the very first play, when HUB he’ll took the kickoff and raced nifty yards to Cornell’s 25-yard line, the suueriority of Colgate’s offensive work was never doubted. Though Cornell held for downs in the danger zone following Hubbeils run, poor punt by Hoffman gave the Maroon its chance. After Clio and Spencer had pounded the Red and White line nobly, Hubbell was given the ball 20 take over from the G-vard line. Wooster missed goal. Toward the end OF the first period this same backheld trio took the ball 70 Cornell’s 5-yard line, where a for ward pass failed. Hoffman again punted into the wind 10 the 35-yard line. Spen- Ger went through Hartman for ten yards and Clio did the same on the other side Though the end of the period gave Cornell breathing spell, it was hope deferred. Gillo pounded over the final mark from the 6-yard line a minute after play was resumed. Wooster had a chance to kick place ment, but failed in the third period. Van Horns defensive work against Nc Brides passes kept the Cornell goa! safe. Colgates other score came in the fourth period when Hubbell got a thirty-yard run, followed by Gillo’s plunge, which finally took the pigskin over and made the final score 20 to 0.
