As a Philadelphian, I had been "needled" more than somewhat most of the way and, as a prognosticator, ALL of the way.

There wasn't much to be done about it; as a matter of fact, most alleged prophets remained silent in seven languages yesterday. But here was a fellow who was asking for it. "You guess JT WILL he necessary, do you?" I retorted. "Well you are wrong. It ill he unnecessary to revise the Philadelphia football map for the very good reason that it has already been done.

La Salle and St. Joseph's attended to that little matter yesterday and ho The week-end produced a modest quota of upsets all over the country, but in so far as devotees hereahouts are concerned, the defeat of Villanova by La Salle and the downfall of I'rsinus at the hands of St. Joseph's will remain the most staggering surprises of the season. What a dismal day it was for the three alleged leaders in this section Tenn and Villanova beaten, Temple suffering an unexpected tie! What a letdown for the I'rsinus outfit that n.ust have left all of its football on Franklin Field a week before! liut what an afternoon of triumph for Marty Brill's La Salle pupils; for Heinie Miller and his St. Joseph's Masks! And don't forget that "Ho" MrMillen and his Indiana team left our fair rity rejoicing in the fart that they had held the highly regarded Temple 0ls to a fi-fi deadlock.

Never before in the history of football in Philadelphia has there been such a day of upsets. sr rf eague jarf7 JSTVoi I to i i Aided Burke, I lannigan, Werner by Loeb, Tilt at Phils' Park iy f. 1 I Clark Drop Kirks 23-yard Line in sion; Hanson Goal From Fourth Scs-Stars, But Fait Llkins Crosses Clifton Goal Line for First Time Tin's Season, Bui Olhrr Village Advances Are Repulsed in Eagles Never Threaten By STAN BAt MtiARTM Undefeated and unsrorcd on, the powerful Detroit Lions, a gridiron steam roller In silver and blue, crashed the Eagles by the score of 10-0 In a spectacular National League battle at the Phillies' ball park yesterday afternoon before Penn Showed Improvement in Defeat 10000 fans.

Penn had the power, the speed and the inherent ability to defeat Yale, but the Quakers proved wastrels. They threw away opportunities to score by repeatedly fumbling when they had the ball in scoring position.

Consider this. The Quakers fumbled five times in the first half, and four of these bungles rame within Yale'a 20-yard line. It is true that all save one of these five fumhles were rernvered, hut with loss of distance and down. On the other hand, there are many reasons why Harvey Harman and his assistants should be smiling this morning. Penn's defense against Yale was 50 per cent, stronger than in the L'rsinus game and the offense 25 per cent, more effective.

The Quakers tlicked until inability to hold the ball thwarted them. The Red and Blue showed a more sustained attack than any machine Harman has developed at Tenn, reeling off 11 first downs. The Quakers had one march of 44 yards, another of 43 and atill another of 75. Practically all of thia yardage was made on running plays. It is admitted that Yale is by no means one of our most formidable teams.

Put they held Columbia lo a 12-8 score and a number of observers who aaw both games told me Sat-urdy that, had Penn been able to hold the ball and avoided several tactical errors, it lmked better against the Elis than did I.ou Little's outfit. Incidentally, the feeling between the two institution" was reflected by the conduct of the players on the field. Frequently opponents were helped to their feet, players leaving the field in the fourth period were slapped on the back by the opposition and at the finish each team assembled to give a cheer for the Other.

No matter how fast the Cherry and White gets awav at the start of the season the outfit soon runs into trouble. Last year, it will be remembered, the Owls were verv impressive in their opening game against South Carolina, wimi'ng by a score of 26 to 6.

The following week the Birds went to P.tts-burgh and collapsed against Carnegie Tech, losing 25 to 0. This season Temple started by winning to games in a row, and against worthy opponents. As a result the Owls were overwhelming favorites to take the measure nf Indians, a learn that was beaten by Ohio State, S3 to 0, the week before. Nv ertheless, the best they could get was a lie. Swarthmore and Haverford were unable to score and were beaten by Dickinson and Susquehanna, respectively, by close cores.

There was Muhlenberg's performance in smothering Lebanon Valley, 25 to 7, and Penn State's win over Gettysburg, 32 to 6. Albright was not figured to have much of a chance against Western Maryland, but few believed that W. M. had the stuff to roll up 49 points. Franklin and Marshall's triumph over Lafayette, 14 to 0, was no part of an upset but if the Roses fall to win the Conference title, IT WILL be an upset.

Delaware continued its winning ways by erasing Juniata, 14-0 nd Lehigh nosed out Johns Hopkins by the margin of a joint fter touchdown.
