23. THE football team of the University of Pittsburg crushed and humiliated the eleven of the Georgia Institute of Technology at Forbes Field this afternoon. The score was 32 to 0 and the team that was hailed as the "Golden Tornado" of the Southland proved to be nothing more perilous than a summer zephyr. Just a Lot Pretty Soft. A SOLDIER of the Legion In meek subjection stands; He sadly murmurs "kamerad! He holds up both his hands.

Said he: "I crave a beefsteak, some sauerkraut and wine. For I was born at Bingen, fair Bin- gen on the Rhine. "While passing to the windward of the troops of Uncle Sam I cot a whiff of bacon, or maybe It was ham; 1 I fain would have a rasher with a cool and frothy stein For I was born at Bingen, fair Bin gen on the Rhine. 'Oh. lead me to a canteen or Salvation Army hut; My stomach is rebelling and It thinks my throat is cut.

For days I have been fasting and for food I yearn and pine For I was born at Bingen, fair Bin gen on the Rhine." A comrade stood beside to hear what he might say And took down his dictation as he stored the grub away. "Take a message to mother and say I'm living fine. For I was born atBingen, fair Binges on the Rhine. "Just tell her that you saw me and that I was looking fit; This chow on which I'm feeding. with me has made a hit.

Fll miss the Yankee fodder on which I used to dine When I get back to Bingen, fair Bingen on the Rhine." Smiles. During the recent "Smileage' Book" campaign, our city officials had a group picture taken of themselves and sent it to the boys over there. Sherman said a pipe full.

29 to 0. on Stagg Feld. JThe result, taken in connection with the defeat of Northwestern at Iowa City, strengthened the II-lini's claim to whatever championship honors are likely to be evolved from the 1918 season. Shifts In Chicago's lineup, due to injuries of regulars, reduced its team play to a minimum and some of the substitutes were so green that they frequently violated rules. Holding cost Chicago a number of 15-yard penalties.

Illinois opened up a bag of tricks in the second period and in the third spilled its contents recklessly. Cross bucks, shifts, forward passes and end runs from kick and pass formations, soon had Stagg's men dizzy. The Illini eleven tried an old-fashioned double-criss-cross, but Stegman, the only Chicago lineman who was able to analyse plays, broke that up. As It was Illinois completed eight forward passes in the second half out of 15 attempts. Lineup: Oilcage.

T. Wins. CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 23. Two long runs in the first five minutes of play enabled Harvard to defeat Boston College at football 14 to 6 today.

In the last five minutes of play Boston college uncovered a dazzling open game and went over for a touchdown on three forward passes which netted 45 yards. ILLINOIS CH1CAGL The vaunted "jump shift" that has ripped the lines of the smaller Southern colleges to flinders for the past several seasons and enabled the Georgians to pile up scores that caused the football world to wonder, was a dismal failure yesterday. Throughout the game the "Golden Tornado" gained only four first downs, and just about enough ground to afford a comfortable grave for their football aspirations. Pittsburg, on the other hand, was a trui Glenn Warner combination. There was a power and versatility to their attack, and exactness in carrying out detail in every play, and a rigidity In their defense, that set at nought the comparatively weak efforts of their opponents Kive touchdowns and two goals from touchdowns was the margin of victory.

These were spread over the four periods of the game and 25.000 football enthusiasts were present to hail the overwhelming triumph of Pittsburg. Davies the Outstanding Star.j Thomas J. Davies was the outstanding luminary in the Panther constellation. He scored three touchdowns and ran hU machine with all the confidence and ability of a true general. Two of his touchdowns were made after long runs on caught punts.

The first came early In the second period, and was for 45 yards. The other brought to, a close the scoring of the afternoon, and was 55 yards.

In a game marked by fumbles and ragged playing. Wisconsin defeated Ohio State today, 14 to 3. Both of Wisconsin's touchdowns came after 80-yard runs by Smith, the first one In the first period, from a punt formation, and the second in the final period, when he inteacepted an Ohio State forward pass on his own 20-yard line. Sundt kicked both goals. In the early minutes of the game, Ohio State went through Wisconsin's line with ease, but after Smith made his first touchdown, the green Ohio team went to pieces and Wisconsin stiffened.

23. The University of Michigan outplayed tha Michigan Aggies today, defeating the East Lansing eleven, 21 to chiefly by their ability to break through the visitors defense. The Aggies' ontyn score came In the final few minutest of play, when two forward passes' close to the Wolverine goal enabled Archer to get over. it-. I All three of Michigan's goals fromal With "Jump Shift" Broken Up, Tech IV as Unable to Gain Against Foe touchdown were kicked by Steketee, the ball going squarely over each time.

aw a ARVEST-HOME BflNM on the Georgia Tech team made a dive at Davies, but he wriggled loose and sped on while the crowd roared. This touchdown was the re sult of forward pass. Davies is. one of th hardest men to down that ever trod a gridiron, His knack of causing would-be tacklers to miss by a simple, side wise movement of the hips is a treat to behold. Ey the same token it is an eyesore for his opponents.

He made the most of his chance3 to ac complish things and in every way set the seal of quality upon his work. Pitt scored its first touchdown in the first period, with Easterday crossing the line on a pass from Davies Thirty-eight yards were wiped out in this advance. Pittsburg assailed the Tech line, advancing in short, crunch ing gains until Davies fell back, after a feint at the line had drawn in the Georgia defense, and shot the ball clear and true to Easterday, who made the catch and merely stepped across the line. Daviea'Kana 45 Tarda, Scores. The second score came after three plays in the second period.

Failing to gain, Tech kicked to Davies, who ran his zigzagging way through a' broken field 45 yards for a score. The criss-cross forward pass was called into use for the third touchdown, and Davies took the pass from Kasterday, who received a relay from McLaren. Thirty-five yards were wiped out by this play. Another open play resulted in the fourth touchdown. Davies again took Kasterday's pass and was pinned by Joe Guyon on the five-yard line.

McLaren scored on a line buck. had it not been for the wonderful de fense of Guyon can only be tie made more tackles than all the rest of the Tech team combined. He received Pittsburg's full attention, but he stood it like a man and took the mauling like a real fighter. He never had a chance to get loose, for it seemed that every Pitt man was waiting for him to get the ball. Pitt failed to score twice when opportunity beckoned.

Once Davies tried a field goal, but the quartering wind carried the ball wide. Another play puzzled the crowd and brought down the hoots and hisses of the untutored upon the officials. Pitt had the ball on Tech's 10-yard line, as the result of a fumble by Flower, which was recovered by a Pitt man. A line attack failed, and it. was fourth down.

A forward pass was tried, which was touched by an ineligible player, but finally recovered by Goug-ler, who crossed the line. The officials called the ball back, and, since there had been holding in the Pitt line, penalized the Panthers 15 yards. So the ball went to Tech on the 20-yard line.

PHIIADELPHIA, Nov. 23. The University of Pennsylvania football team defeated Swarthmore. 13 to 7, In a closely contested game today en Franklin Field. Pennsylvania oat-played the visitors In the first two periods, but was forced to fight hard to retain the advantage during the second half.

Braun proved to be the hero of the Pennsylvania offense, while Oeljres, who made a 53-yard run for Swarthmore' only touchdown, was the star of the Garnet team. RUN LATE IN GAME BEATS NAVY, 7-6 Annapolis Substitute Runs From Bench and Tackles Great Lakes Man From Behind. Nor. 23. In one of the most bitterly contested games ever witnessed on a local gridiron, the Great Lakes Training Station football team of Chicago defeated the Annapolis Midshipmen this afternoon, 7 to G.

The Tars from the Middle West turned what seemed like certain defeat into victory In the last three minutes of the play when Eilson, playing right halfback, grabbed up a middy fumble almost ia the shadow of his own goal post, and after eluding three opposing tacklers, was prevented from being overhauled by three more as the result of splendid interference and sprinted 90 yards to a touchdown. Blacklock, the big Indian, who put up a brilliant da-ferisive game at right- tackle for Great Lakes and kicked the goal that sealed the fate of the navy clairn for football supremacy in the East. The game was a thriller from start to finish, and was marked by a sensational Incident, which was coupled with Eilson' brilliant dash to a touchdown. It happened after the Great Lakes runner had sprinted to within 30-yards of the Navy's goal line and the last of the pursuing tacklers had been disposed of by his interferers, when Saunders, one of the Middies' first string substitutes, dashed from his seat on ttie bench, out on the field and brought the runner down from behind. General excitement prevailed for a time, and some of the supporters of Great Lakes made a rush for the intruding Middie and began pummeling him, but quiet was soon restored and the game proceeded.

Eilson had a clear field at the time, and the officials, of course, ruled a legitimate This Incident came virtually as a climax to the stubbornness of the fight that each team put into the game, although there were no other elements of unnecessary roughness. In point of general ground gaining ability, the Middies outplayed the Great Lakes aggregation to some extent. They had a shade the better of it In the first two periods, although they were unable to work the leather within scoring distance. Nor were the tars able to invade far into the Navy zone, though Driscoll, the crack quarterback, took three lang chances to bring a score through the field goal route. His attempts were at distances ranging from 30 to 50 yards, and one of them missed sailing through the uprights by a 'narrow margin.

Middles Finrt Score. The Middies drew first blood after half of the third period had elapsed. Getting the ball in midfield after an exchange of kicks, tney Degan a steady march down the field as the result of heavy line plunges and off-tackle plays by Ingram, Roberts, Coombs and Orr. Finally a cleverly executed double pass between Coombs and Ingram that culminated in a long forward toss to Roberts at the far side of the field, counted for a gain of 10 vards and a touchdown. The punt out for a try at goal went into touch.

Another navy touchdown seemed inevitable just before Eilson made his sensational dash. The Middies had plunged their way to the visitors' 10-yard line, when the fatal fumble came. For a time during the second half. It looked as though the Great Lakes lads might crumble, but they were game to the end. The lineup: Navy (B) TVisttinn fSreat Lakes Caldwell.

Georgia Tech accomplished one feat that few of the opponents of the Pitt teams have been able to do. The Panthers were forced to resort to an aerial attack to score freely. What the score might have been had the Pitt team stuck to a rushing game can only be a matter of conjecture. The Blue and Gold was able to crunch along slowly; but although outplayed, the lads from Dixie fought valiantly, and forced Davies to resort to an overhead game. Against such an attack, well conceived, cleverly masked and beautifully executed, Heisman's pupils had no adequate defense.

As previously noted, the Tech "jump shift" failed. It was calculated to strike terror to the hearts of the Pitt team. Rather it stimulated them to great deeds, and they managed to smash through and smear the plays in their very Inception. Once Flowers broke loose for a 25-yard run and the Tech contingent cheered. With their main battery smashed, the Tech men were without resource.

They lost confidence and heir game lagged. Frequent councils behind the line only made their demoralization stand forth. They never were within striking, distance of the Panther goal.
