Four of the seven remaining opponents of the University football team lived up to predictions and turned in easy victories on Saturday. One, Holy Cross, triumphed only after a desperate battle with a surprising St. John's team, while the remaining two, Middlebury and William and Mary, went down to expected defeat. The games resulted as follows:
Yale 53, Middlebury 0
Coach Klevenow's little Vermont college team, which will play here next Saturday, was no match for a Yale team seemingly even more powerful than the Blue elevens of the last two years. Yale put on a terrific attack which netted them 19 first downs and eight touchdowns, five of the latter coming in the first half. With an apparently inexhaustible supply of brilliant backs, the Elis tore through the visitors' line almost at will. Bunnell, Kline, Cutler, and Wienecke starred in the Yale offense. The New Haven line was impregnable, and Middlebury's only gains were made by forward passes. It will be interesting to see if the Harvard backs can gain as much ground through Middlebury on October 10 as Yale's did Saturday.
Princeton 20, Amherst 0
Coach Roper at Princeton followed the Notre Dame example Saturday and started an entire team of second-string play- ers against Amherst. The Tigers' substitute backfield did not do as well as expected, and the score at the end of the first half stood 0 to 0. In the last two periods Princeton, with Slagle starring, scored three touchdowns against their plucky opponents. Forward passing, with Slagle doing most of the tossing, was the feature of the Orange and Black attack. Of nine passes thrown, seven were completed. The Princeton line was not quite as adamant as those of Harvard and Yale, and Amherst gained a total of six first downs.
Dartmouth 34, Hobart 0
By launching a savage offensive in the first half, Dartmouth was able to win its second game of the season by a onesided score. Oberlander, big and speedy halfback, was the Hanoverian star. Forward passes played a big part in the Dartmouth attack, two being completed for scores. In the second half, with many substitutes playing, only one touchdown was made. The Dartmouth defence against forward passes was weak, and Hobart twice threatened by making long gains over the aerial route.
Brown 33, Colby 0
In the second game at the Andrews Field Stadium. Brown's speedy backs seemed little hampered by a muddy field and drenching downpour. The hardfighting Colby aggregation held the Bruins to one touchdown in the first half, but later the Rhode Island team's fliers ripped through the tired visitors. Keefer, last year's sensation, was at his best and scored two touchdowns, and another pair were made by Edes, 130-pound halfback. The Brown line, though weakened by the loss of an end and two regular guards through injuries, was strong enough to hold Colby to a single first down.
Holy Cross 9, St. John's 6
Holy Cross, rated as an easy winner over St. John's College of Brooklyn, received a bad scare Saturday. The Purple team was distinctly superior to the visitors, but three times lost opportunities to score by fumbling. One of the fumbles, on St. John's 10-yard line, resulted in the losers' only score, the St. John's quarterback running 90 yards for a touchdown after recovering the wet ball. Crowley's kicking and Kittredge's end runs were the cheering spots of the loosely-played game from a Holy Cross standpoint.
Annapolis 25, William and Mary 0
William and Mary, after winning two early season games in the south, lost to the Navy team Saturday. Elliott and Matsee, tackle and quarterback respectively, shone for the Virginian outfit. Annapolis, coached by Owsley, former Yale mentor, outclassed the Southerners. Last year Annapolis beat William and Mary 14 to 7, but the bluejacket eleven is said to be considerably improved this fall
