A. N. big upset of Saturday undoubtedly was when, the New York University machine turned turtle" In collision with a smart, fighting Georgetown eleven. Once more It was Indubitably demonstrated that the team which gains many yards, but fails to gain the one yard at the goal line, is, like the golfer who can drive a mile but can't putt, playing the same old useless game. New York made eighteen first downs to Georgetown's two and lost the game.

Yale and Harvard figured to beat Dartmouth and Lehlgh, and did so. Notre Dame looked better than Penn State, and was. Princeton and Ohio State seemed to be evenly matched, and ran a dead heat. Pennsylvania had some trouble with Chicago, but won as was expected. Stagg always has his team steamed up for this Penn game.

The defeat of Illinois by Michigan was an upset on paper, but scarcely one In fact. Illinois- had been pushed by both Indiana and Northwestern. i i a a Weaker than usual, but only Ohio State had trimmed the "Wolverines badly. The team had been visibly improving. Michigan always plays hard agaisst Illinois.

Here is an old -flaming rivalry. If Illinois was to lose a game, this was the one. No Surprise Here WOR was Northwestern's victory over Minnesota any stunning surprise. Northwestern has been showing a lot of growing power and Minnesota players have been badly battered. The smashing game favored by Spears isn't any too easy on the boys and -Minnesota came to the Northwestern contest after having played Purdue, Chicago and Iowa In a row.

From a distant angle, it looked far easier for Southern California to trim California than for it to beat Stanford. Before the season ipened, Glenn Warner was well atisfied with his material. I do not think that he really expects to ose a game, and Stanford usually has had plenty of luck against" earns coached by Jones. Yet, where the; best it could do was to tie California, Southern California steps out and beats Stanford by 10 0. When those old friends, Tad ones and Pop Warner, the season, I fear that the "chairman of the Yale football committee will mention this triumph engineered by his brother Howard.

There would appear to be small danger that he as not. When the graduates of the Ditsrict of "institution waited for the players to emerge after they were dressed, the cheers they were for a real football team.

Georgetown has just one chance and took it. And that touchdown wasn't the fluke it seemed. When a New York back rumbled on Georgetown's ten yard line and Ken Provincial swept up the ball and sprinted for that other goal line, so far away, there was hot pursuit Two New York players running like a team, were gaining on the Georgetown end with surety that promised they would pull him down. Docs Work. Between provincial and these would be tacklers Han another Georgetown player.

Measuring his distance with timing his plunge with the accuracy of a stopwatch, he hurled himself across the legs of- the pursuers and spilled them flying. I don't know that boy's name. I wish I did. He was as responsible for that touchdown fully as much as was Provincial who carried the ball. Tack Hardwick, greatest of Interferers, could not have done that job more neatly.

Jim Mooney calmly kicked the goal Every man did his job. That's what won for Georgetown team work. The team, which was said to rely on speed, out smarted and outfought a stronger aggregation on a slow and sloppy field. When New York, desperate and with its yelling rooters scent ing victory within one yard a touchdown and had two downs ti make it Georgetown, held. Those two rushes totaled only something over two feet That was a gallan exhibition.

There certainly should be one man on a squad who could be depended upon to boot the ball over the bar. The Tindefeated teams are growing fewer week by week. Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Detroit, Florida, Army, Georgetown', Boston college, Princeton, Ohio State, Carnegie, Nebraska, Southern California, Ohio Wesleyan, Villanova, Wisconsin and a few others still go marching on but Saturday's carnage was considerable. New York university, Illinois, Haver- fort, Louisiana State, Texas Christian, Temple, Kansas and Clemson dropped from the ranks of the undefeated. It was surprising to see Texas Christian lose to Baylor and Clemson so badly beaten by Mississippi- Those unbeaten teams are bound to become fewer still.

Army has yet to play Nebraska, Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt meet next Saturday. Carnegie plays Georgetown, Boston college must get by Fordham, and Ohio State and Iowa meet at the end of this week in a btttle likely to decide the championship of tfie western conference. All of the undefeated teams have at least one risky game ahead and most of them have more than one. In these days, no games are easy. down--every down--In a gambling liopp fashion.

New York completed four passes out of twenty-two. Five intercepted. To my mlno. such a percentage makes a bad gamble. York was anritaj: snowers of passes -when there were still minutes left to play- "Sou such tactics frora a wek team --not from a strong one.

Bad weather and muddy fields caused many breaks which partially accounted for the large number of surprises. A study of the game statistics shows an unusual number fumbles, intercepted passes and blocked kicks. All of which can be expected as a result of a wet, heavy, soggy ball. In the east, the biggest surprise was Georgetown's defeat of N. Y.

U- The latter marched all over the field, outrising and outpassing the alert Georgetown team. Fumbles broke up every assault the N. Y. U. Two of these fumbles were particularly costly.

The first tin Georgetown's 5-yard line was recovered by a Georgetown end who raced for touchdown, enough to win the game. The second costly fumble was on Georgetown's 2-yard line and was recovered by Georgetown, sa-ving the game for the Blue and Gray. Georgetown played a strong defensive game to hold its lead and Mooney's punting under terrible conditions was particularly commendable. Columbia Fumbles Costly. In the Cornell-Columbia game, Columbia's were disastrous.

The first one deep in its own territory gave Cornell an opportunity. -here Cornell pressed to the goal line, missing by six Inches or less. The next Columbia fumble came on the second down with six yards to go, for a touchdown. This was recovered by the alert Cornell defense, killing off the only Columbia threat- Up at New Haven, Dartmouth, minus the services of five of its stars, including Black and Marsters, was holding its own against Yale almost minus most of its strength, including the great Gar- cago, I haven't heard of It. Chicago in the last period heaved a forty yard pass.

This was incomplete, by interference was called giving Chicago the ball on Penn's 7-yard line. Chicago crashed over. from here, tieing the score. There was now thirty seconds left. Penn received the kickoff.

On the first play came Penn's fifty-nine yard pass for the winning touchdown and the game was over. A few minutes after the opening whistle in the Northwestern-Minnesota game Northwestern recovered its own fumble behind its goal line for a safety, giving Minnesota a two point lead A few minutes later Northwestern grabbed a Minnesota fumble seventy-five yards for a touchdown. It was not until the fourth quarter that Minnesota's power tactics shoved over a touch down. A placekick by Northwestern gave this Purple the winning margin by a 10 to 9 score. The credit for Michigan's victory over Illinois, in a striking upset, must go to a well coached Wolverine defense.

Michigan's line stopped the great Humber and its pass defense stopped nineteen of the twenty-three Illinois passing at tempts. Furthermore, Michigan intercepted one Illinois pass which gave the Wolverines the chance for their placekick, enough to win the game, destroying championship ambitions of Illinois. Nebraska Dumps Kansas. Wisconsin's stalwart line and deceptive double and triple passes SS stemmed the Alabama. Nebraska's Crimson Tide from bone crushing machine wore down a game fighting Kansas defense that had withstood assault after assault in the first half.

Missouri another leading contender in the Big Six conference, lost to Drake, by one touchdown, made by running a Missouri fumble across the goal line. Southern California toppled Stanford. The latter fumbled at critical stages of the game. East is east and west is west, also fumbles are fumbles. SOUTHERN TEAMS SLIP ON SATURDAY By DAN M'GUGIN.

Pitt Looks Good.

Pittsburgh must, be pretty good to defeat Syracuse so decisively when It Is recalled that Syracuse put up an even battle against the strong Nebraska team a couple of weeks ago. The latter team continues to show great strength and should be a tough opponent for the Armv on the twenty-fourth. In the south.

WINNER OVER STANFORD BY HOWARD JONES. Conch TJnlvenlty of Southern California. Southern California defeated a mighty fine football team in the Los Angeles coliseum Saturday. The 10 to 0 victory was achieved only after one of the most strenuous games I have ever witnessed, and it was scored over a team that had as much potential power as 1 have ever seen. Naturally, we of southern California were pleased to win.

I am very proud of all my players, and only hope they can continue to play the fine brand of football they displayed against Stanford. To single out ony of the men aa better than the rest is unfair to the team as it was team play that made the victory possible. However, there were players who contributed important performances and because they were out in the open, these acts were more promi nent and may be commented upon without slighting the line men, who carried the heaviest part of the battle, and are deserving! of great credit. This boy, Nathan Barragar, is all there. He will take the biggest man on the opposition and tackle him time and again without the slightest hesitation.

When he toppled Hoffman in the second quarter, Barragar hurt himself rather badly, but stuck to his guns I have no hesitation in saying thai had Hoffman come down the field on a similar play the very next minute, Barragar would have tackled him just as hard as he did the first time. He is a fine foof ball player and a great center. 111,896 FANS Official Check Is Made by" Director Allen Kansas Players Not Sen- ously Hurt.
