Football

For several years it has been increasingly apparent that to cope with the best teams from elsewhere in the country, Yale, Harvard and Princeton, traditional Big Three of college football, needed more stringent coaching, less stringent entrance examinations. The fact that Yale backs no longer need to know their latin conjugations and declensions did not help them much against Georgia last week. Never before beaten three times in a row by any team except Harvard, Yale came out of its Bowl at New Haven beaten for the third time, by a onesided score-- 26 to 7. Midget Albie Booth helped make one touchdown in the third quarter, nearly scored another with a 74-yd. run just before the first half ended. But before Midget Booth came on the field, Georgia's huge guard, Red Leathers, had snatched a pass from Taylor, carried it 40 yd. for the first touchdown; and just afterward Georgia's sophomore halfback. Homer Key (distant kin to Mayor James Lee Key of Atlanta), had raced 74 yd., behind fine interference, for the second. Georgia substitutes, who had started the game, went back in the third period. In the last, using the strategy big colleges often use for minor games, the regulars went in again, made two touchdowns more against the tired Yale varsity.

Princeton, beaten by Brown last year and the year before, was beaten by Brown again last week, 19 to 7. Of the Big Three, only Harvard, against comparatively feeble opposition from New Hampshire, won a tame victory 39 to 0.

In a drizzle that became a downpour at Soldier Field, Chicago, Northwestern and Notre Dame slipped and fumbled to a scoreless tie. The game spoiled the Notre Dame record of 20 victories in a row against the best teams in the U. S., gave Northwestern its first tie against Notre Dame since 1903.

Washington was struggling for the touchdown that might have tied the score against Oregon when Oregon's substitute end, Bill Bowerman, intercepted a Washington pass, scampered 87 yd. for the touchdown that made the score Oregon 13, Washington 0.

Unable to make a touchdown against Georgetown in three previous games, N. Y. U. finally got five, kicked goals after four of them, won 34 to 0.

Army, which last week agreed to play a benefit game against Navy in Manhattan on Dec. 12, began getting ready by drilling through Michigan State, 20 to 7. Navy, in a wobbly game against Maryland, was finally submerged, 6 to 0.

Long passes gave Stanford two touchdowns in the last period, against Minnesota. Stanford 13, Minnesota 0.
