Football

The stadium overshadows the classroom . . . athletics have a dollar sign in front of them. . . . Scholarship has been pushed aside and dwarfed. . . . Menace to our whole American educational system. . . . Not vague theories ... I have personal knowledge . . . something radically and fundamentally wrong. . . .

--Chief Justice William Howard Taft in the Cosmopolitan for November.

Chief Justice Taft's Mother Yale last week marched sluggishly through Georgia; wavered, struggled, stopped in front of a light but savage Georgia line. Spurning the handsome Bermuda grass of the brand new field in Athens, Left End Vernon ("Catfish") Smith of Georgia's little bulldogs helped block and then picked up a punt made by Yale's big bulldogs, ran it over for a touchdown, kicked the goal. In addition he did all Georgia's punting and scored another touchdown by snatching a forward pass. Capt. Joe Boland of Georgia played bulldoggedly at centre while behind him Fullback Rothstein got away with murder and Halfback Waugh was hell. The Georgians snaked out of their new stadium to light bonfires. Georgia 15, Yale 0.

With eleven frantic Washington students periodically hanging onto him or bumping against him. Russell Saunders of Southern California ran up and down a field in Seattle and sometimes stooped to touch the ball against the ground. Southern California 48. Washington 0.

Notre Dame's second team--a confession of overconfidence--was scored on by the Navy, but the first, when called on, performed as expected. Notre Dame 14, Navy 7.

Washington State's Golden Bears could not understand the short passes California filled the air with, or their cross bucks through the line. California 14, Washington State 0.

Slightly outplayed by a Princeton team that was guilty of stupid penalties and unable to kick goals after touchdowns, Brown got better as it grew wearier and edged out the game 13--12.

Purdue's boilermakers kept Michigan in hot water all the time to win 30--16.

Tackle Larkin of Ohio State grabbed a blocked Iowa punt and Centre Barratt kicked the goal that made the difference. Ohio State 7, Iowa 6.

Every Indianaman saw Kelly but none of them could catch him when he picked up Van Nice's pass and ran 30 yards for the winning touchdown. Chicago 13, Indiana 7.

Harvard's O'Connell, Gilligan and Huguley, though not impressive, were good enough to shilaly a team of U. S. boys from New Hampshire, 35 to 0.

Punter Bruder's right leg got Northwestern close enough to score on Wisconsin; when he broke his left leg the line managed to stand on their own. Northwestern 7, Wisconsin 0.

Cagle and Murrel had rather hoped to spend the afternoon with blankets around them, but a Davidson team too fast and nervy for the Army understudies kept the first-string backfield busy all the time. Army 23, Davidson 7.

Syracuse ran round Nebraska till, the line tiring, cornhusky plungers stood them on their ears, 13--6.
