Mg lWMM\ TlieSoidkWhere Centre College Colonels Reign, Is Only Section Where Football Title Is Not in a Tangle STEVENS LOOKS ON ; FEATS WITH PRIDE Hofcokon Eleven Gains New Planet in Football \World by ' Kcmnrknblo Record. COLUMBIA DISCOURAGED N. Y. U. Shocks MorningsidG Heights by Decisive Vic- - . tory on South Field. the. 1919 football season of Stevons Tech will go down tn tho history of the college aa the most successful alnco the first team was organized on tho banks or the Hudson nearly fifty' years ago. The team which wore the Jtcd and Gray will be the subject of much talk on the Part of Stevens enthusiasts for a long ume to come, isvery team which was faced was crushed to defeat beneath tho great Ho ooKen machine Not a team had a chance to cross tho Stevens coal line, The; technical men most certainly have nam or wmcn tney navo a rignt to be proud. Rated as best among the Eastern colleges of the same class and better than some of those who consider themselves a little out of that class, the Stevens outfit rightfully can bo conceded a niche In the hall of minor college foot ball fame. Stevens can say that every game was won by a eafe margin. The Jersey. men have a, total of 186 points to their credit with only 5 points scored by their opponents, on a safety and one Held goal. Seven games were played. From the result It seems as If Stevens could haye played teams of a higher rating with successful results. The schedule was made, however, on tho basis of previous strength. Good Team Despite Handicap. The team which Coach Durborow pro- duced, this year was rather unusual for Stevens. There always has'been great difficulty In developing capable teams because of the obstacles which are pre- sented at an engineering college. This year, however; ft phenomenal outfit was whipped Into shape In spite of tho dif- ficulties. One of tho Innovations; which probably had a great deal to do with tho BVtccess of tho 'season, was the training tabic, which. was established for the grst time. One of the noteworthy things about, the team was that It was practically an all-st- eleven. Bloss, of course, Is the brightest jstar,- - but from the other men It would be hard to .pick any who stood above the others. The. individual experience of the mem- bers was a big factor tn making the combination. Most of the first string men had played together on the team of 1917. That outfit also was undefeated, but was not considered as successful aa the team of 1919 because of two tie frames which 'marred a clean recorl. Herty, a coming quarterback, played on elevens of several other colleges, while Busch came from tho West with experience. All tho others had been with the \fltufe team before. The men always were In the pink of Physical condition. The men of 1917 fame returned in 1919 two years older and, with .the additional training which they had received in .ser vicer Every one of them enlisted .in some branch of the army and navy. Then the registration at the college has exceeded any previous roll by about 500 students. This was felt on the grid- iron by the number of candidates which turned out at the call. The season started off with a bright outlook and it was loudly voiced around that there, were great possibilities for an undefeated season. Tho team did not start \off vey auspiciously-- , how. ever, aereatlng ilaverford with a score of only 6 to 0, the lowest In any of the games, but the team merely had not reached Its stride, A great Improvement was noted in the second game and by the time the third game was played the team was consid- ered splendid. Tho teams that were faced were lighter than usual, how- ever, and Stevens faced the hardest part of the schedule, the games with Colum- bia and N. T. U., without a real test be- hind It. But the team proved its worth when it battered down these elevens with good scores and claimed the. metro- politan championship. And then, as a fort of ante-clima- x, it rolled up the big- gest score on its card when It defeated Worcester Tech by 62 to 0 in the final game. Defeat Shakes Columbia. Much disappointment was felt on Morningslde Heights last Saturday at the outcome of the annual N. Y. U. game. The setback Itself was not a surprise, but tho manner In which It was accomplished was not gratifying to Co- lumbia followers. N. Y. U. was not ex- pected to show' to. such advantage as it did, and Columbia failed to exhibit the brand of football she was hoped to show. Dawson declared last night that the poor showing of the eleven was duo largely to a lack of capable substitutes and a good punter. Eccles proved no match for Capt Cann, and, in fact, would have been no match for a school- boy kicker. Johnstone also failed miser- ably to take the place left vacant by the speedy Charlie Shaw, and only Farroll, who went in for ADoelbaum mhon h latter was taken out of tho game for iougn woric, put up a good game. Johnny Kienninger, the plucky centre rush, went Into the' irame frnm a bed and could last no longer than one-ha- lt Hlnsch, who replaced him, did his Desi, dui was not accustomed to the position. Ftorsytho del eloped a charley horse and had to be taken from the con- test. Farrell also was removed tempo- rarily when his side was twisted. Dawson stated yosterday that there ws a possibility that Qulgley, first string quarterback, would get into the Brown battle on Thanksgiving Day. Qulgley wields a mighty coordinating In- fluence on the team, and If he can get into some sort of shape by the mlddl&mf the week he in all probability will sup- plant Eccles. Farrell seems destined to remain in the backfield. JT. Y. V. Rejoice. What was gall and .wormwood for Columbia was unlimited Joy for N. Y. U. The showing of the two elevens against Stevens led Violet supporters to believe that they would win. but they expected to be forced to fight hard for the ver- dict The decisive manner In which the University Heights men trampled their brothers from Morningslde sent tho N.

The Centre College still leads the country team scoring, and now has a total of 408 points. The Colonel eleven is the only team that can reach the 400 mark this season, West Virginia, next in the list with 319 points, hardly can be expected get 81 points against Washington and Jefferson on Thanksgiving Day. Centre College defeated De Pauw University of Green-castl- e, Ind., last by 66 0, and meets Georgetown College of Kentucky on Thanksgiving Day. Centre support- ers have an outside hope thA their team will get as many as 92 points against the Georgetown team and go into the 600 class in scoring, but dispatches from Louisville indicate that Centre men do not really expect more than about 75 points In tho final game. West 319 points give tho Mountaineers the lead scoring in the East. Tho individual effort of Capt. Rodgers accounted for 37 of tho 55 points that West Virginia scored against Ohio last He was all over the Held and never could bo stopped. It is him that West Virginia supporters are looking for a victory over Washington and Jefferson. Rodgers leads the country In scoring and will retain his advantage unless Capt.

Bloss turned In the greatest individual achievement that has been seen on a football field in years. The Stevens leader scored nine touchdowns and climbed through from sixteenth place among individual Bcorers to second. 'As far as is known, tho performance of tno Hoboken captain In making nine touchdowns In a single afternoon constitutes a world's record. His point total now Is 92.

The not unexpected victory of Illinois over Ohio in Columbus yosterday smeared the record of the last and Jam ,,n. e Western ned Yale men. Btudcnts general that the last ference forced followers of football to resort to the percentage table to de- termine tho champion of tho race which closed yosterday. Dy this method Illinois leads, having won six games against a slnglo defeat, and there Is little doubt that the Zuppke eleven as It stands to day Is really the best In the conference. The Ulini outplayed their Ohio rivals most consistently and never should have been as hard pressed as a 0 to 7 score Indicates. Pressed hard they were, how- ever, and It remained for Bob Fletcher to pull the game out of the fire with a Held goal In tho last halt minute of play. Twenty-thre- e championship games were Played by conference elevens during the season Just closed, and for tho first timo. In many years no ties were re corded, barring the 1913 S. A. T. C. race. This is the flrr.t time In the his- tory of the conference that every team in the organization has suffered defeat in tho football race. Mlchlgnn Fourth Defeat. Another record s broken when Mln neaota defeated Michigan 34 to 7 in Ann Arbor yesterday. That, was Mich- igan's fourth defeat. Never slnco Yost went to Ann Arbor In. 1901 and never in tho history of the conference have more than three teams been nble to win from tho Wolverines in a slnglo season until the present one. Michigan was defeated Ave times in both 1891 and 1S92, .but that was before the days of Yost and the conference. In each of those years Cornell administered two of the five defeats. Barring those two seasons and the ono of 1893, when threo \Western games went by tho board, Michigan never before has lost moro than two games to Western Conference elevens tn any ono year. And 1900, when both Iowa and Chicago defeated the Wolver ines, is the only year in which more than one Western gamo was lost, Until thi9 season Yost's 2 to 0 defeat by Chicago In 1915 and his SI to 13 de feat by Northwestern in 1917 wcro his only conference losses. During the 1919 melee Michigan lost to two teams Illinois and Ohio which never before had been ablo to register a victory over the Ann Arbor combination. Minnesota's 34 points constitute the largest score that ever has been made against Michigan by a Western team. In tho late '80s and the early '90s Cornell threo times ran up greater scores than this on tho Wolverines, and In 1883 Yale accumulated 64 points against the Ann Arbor men. Those are the only four games In which Minnesota's record of yesterday has been bettered. Other Standlntts In Doutit. Beyond assuming that Illinois is tho champion, and that' Ohio is second, It Is unsafe to endeavor to rank many of the other teams. One may say with Impunity that Michigan la seventh, that Worth-wester- n Is eighth, and that Indiana and Purdue are tied for ninth, with the odds favoring Indiana for the place. But the relative rank of Chicago, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa never can be told, and the round robin serle3 shows tho four teams to be on about equal terms for third honor?. Each played two games against the other members ot tho quar- tet, and each emerged from these frays with a fifty-fift- y percentage. the strength of having defeated the Michigan Aggies and Nebraska, neither of which has any power this season, No tre Dame asks to be considered for premier honors tho West. Notre Dame seems to bo \champeen of this fall, but that Is about as much honor as can bo accorded the Hoosler eleven. Western football received a big boost when Indiana defeated the Syracuse eleven, which Is said to bo tho champion of the East. The Crimson got the Jump on tho Easterners earl, found Itself really In the lead against the highly touted Orangemen, and then fought for Its very life to retain that advantage. Tho Hooslers were successful, and held the long end of a 12 to 8 score when hos tilities ceased. Nothing of note devel oped In. the Missouri Valley conference.

One-ha- lf 1 per cent knocked Harvard's Saturday night celebration or its rootDall victory over Yale into a cocked hat. There were din- ner parties, dances and theatre parties galore, of course, and the leading hotels were hard put to accommodate all seat ing facilities, but there was very' little old time hilarity. The \makings\ were not obtainable. It was decidedly tame. There was no tearing the old town apart. such as has accompanied previous Crim son triumphs over the Blue. Extra pre- cautions taken by the Stats Guard and in anticipation of possible troublo went for nought.

They are wondering how long tho Dluo will have to wander about in the football wilderness before it reaches the land of promise. They aro wondering whether Dr. Sharpe will talto advantage of tho lessons learned against the Crimson and the Tigers and ohange the system of coaching. Thoy aro wondering whether Yale, with some of tho finest material it yet has been tho privilege of a coach at New Haven to havo at his command, should havo closed tho season jiaven by 0 o clock but coi with three defeats. Behind the wonderment lies tho bitter realization that in the Harvard and the Princeton gamcj they saw a Yalo team which was woefully Onderequlp'ped in attack, badly undercoached as a unit a team full of fight and power held in leash by lack of strategems and strategy, by poor generalship and errors of commission and omission. They feel that Dr. Sharpo must shoulder a large part oC the blame for tho Yalo holocaust nnd there Is no question that this feeling is not con- - Con- - to Football In will agree In of of of analysis the defeats by Princeton and Harvard were due to shortcomings in coaching. Dr. Brides coached the Yalo line, Dr. Sharpe coached the backs, Jack Cates the ends and Dr. Billy Bull tho kickers. But who coached the Yalo team? A coach who sent Ills team Into its biggest games with the kind of an attack which Yale developed against Harvard and Princeton cold excuse himself only on tho score that ho had a team which was suited only for tho use of sheer power and was not smart enough to bring out football which was even e. But this charge cannot bo raado about tho Ynlo men of this' year. They showed far more plays of real worth in the early games than they did in their objectives. What was the reason for the muzzling of the attack, the underdevelopment In the finer points and tho utter lack of polish? JThat the loading players on 'the Yale team were not in accord with Dr. Sharpe's system is no secret. Now that tho season Is over it will do no harm to dlscloso tho fact that on the cvo of the Harvard game ono of tho Ella declared that the team had been Jammed full of theory, and had been given practically nothing with which to work out this theory. That Yalo had only a small chance' of success under tho Sharpe system was realized by many of tho players after the defeat by Boston College. Tim Callahan, tho captain, came to New York and was In conference with Brink Thorne and John Kllnatrlck of tho football committee. Then there was another conference with Walter Camp, and It was decided to give Dr. Sharpe carte blanche. They felt that if they did not bother hlrn he would work out Yale's salvation by himself. For a time It looked aa if Yale had found tho way out and was on the high road to success. But then camo tho defeat by Princeton nnd the realization that Yale was making a game fight In tho face of tremendous odds. It remains to bo seen whether Dr. Sharpo will permit outsider inter- ference, to sway him in his plans for next season. The situation is particularly incomprehensible after ono looks back at tome of the smart football which some of Dr; Sharpe's teams at Cornell showed. Tale's III? Error Inside tho Ono Tard Line. Yale's team developed such great power against Harvard that if It had not been for the worst sort of bungling, continual fumbling and lapses in generalship tho Blue at least would' havo tied tho Crimson In pplte of all the handicaps it had to overcome. For tho faulty generalship the gen eral disposition is to blame Kempton, but It Is a question if he was entirely responsible. It Is known that when Kempton ordered the fatal lateral pass in the Princeton game he did so at the command of Callahan. It Is highly possible that against Harvard Kempton took his orders from Callahan too.' So tho errors in generalship will have to bo charged against the team Instead of against Kempton or any other one man. The biggest error In Yale's generalship came when the Ells were less than a yard away from Harvard's goal line. Joe Neville had been smashing off tackle for good gains. Kane of Harvard was wilting and showed plainly that he could not stand up under the Impact of another drive. Instead of sending Neville at Kane Kempton ordered Jim Braden to take a smash at centre. This was Just' the play for which Harvard had been hoping. It was Just the play which It felt that tho slow thinking and bungling Yale team would select. Tho Harvard line closed in toward' centre, tho secondary defence moved right up to It and tho Crimson was crouched for the desperate smash. Braden dived right into centre and ho was hurlod back. It was another of Yale's many senseless line plays. The Blue lost tho ball on downs and the gamo with it. That error was the most glaring, but It did not stand alono among the big factors of Yale's defeat. For some reason best known to Yale it declined tho privilege of tho klckoff after the scores and permitted Harvard to gain an advantage which was a big one In a game of the character which doveloped before the record crowd of 50,000. Both Yale and Harvard played safe, and this was the sort of football which was best suited for Harvard nnd with which tho Ells played right Into their rivals' hands. Not once did Yale deviate from tho time honored tenets of zono playing. Not once did it sprlns anything which the most conservative student would havo ruled out of placo in that particular zone of tho field. For the most part the Yale plays could be diagnosed quickly. This was true not only of tho lino plays but of the 111 conceived forward pass, which was as open as the face of a dollar watch and which did not fool even tho sweet young thing in the stands. Yale's placing such great rcllanco on the kicking game in the face of losses on nearly all exchanges of punts was another thing of mystery. Never beforo did a man see a Yale team play through a game with Harvard with such an utter lack of headwork, preconceived plan of attack and defence, lack of mental cohesion and inability to hold the ball on a dry field. narvard Got tho Most Out of Its Material. Harvard's gome bespoke careful planning nnd Just as careful coaching for the team and tho Individual. It was evident that the men had been taught football first In a thorough manner, and then had been armed with an attack which brought out to almost the fullest degreo tho abilities of tho material at hand. It was a smart team too. It was quick to senso plays though It must be said that the plays which It was called on to take a part In Mere not of Intricate nature. The Crimson had a great defensive man In Arnold Horween when he was at centre and then In the back field. Clark and Sedgwick were veritable whales on the lines. Casey was nothin extra In defence, but ho was right there on attack on the few occasions when he was asked to throw or carry the ball. Yalo had come prepared to see. Casoy do .the hulk of the running, but it was fooled and finally lulled into a false senso of security. It was apparent that Casey's part in the game had been worked out by a master of strategy. At least two plays one tho forward pass out of a double pass, with which Casey won the game had been worked out for the private use of the speed boy and ho made the most of them. Yale put up a great fight a battle truly worthy of Yalo tradition and it was a pity that the team did not have the strategical punch with which to put over a telling blow. Callahan played a most remarkablo gamo at centre and he had three able assistants In Gait, Dickens and Walker. Har- vard bothered Oalt very little. Tho Yalo ends wero not as slow as they were against Princeton, but they still left a great deal to bo desired. The back Hold star was Braden, with Kempton and Neville running him a close second. Braden's rushing was a great improvement over his work in previous Karnes this season. He showed that he had almost overcome entirely his tendency to run Into his own interference. Syracuse Mado a Serious Mistake In Going West. The storUlng developments In football last Saturday were the defeat of Syracuse by Indiana and the victory of Rutgers over Northwestern. The one result appeared to emphasize tho superiority of \Western football over the Eastern and the other turned right about and denied that statement with vehemence. Indiana, among middlo Western teams, is about the weakest big collego aggregation, while Northwestern had shown somo high class football In near victories over Michigan and Wisconsin. For the sake of Syracuse wo are rather glad that It was defeated by Indiana. The trip, with the Nebraska gamo still to come on Thanksgiving Dav. is In the nature of an antl-cllma- The team is sifre to suffer a physical and psychological let down after the final game of consequence with Colgate. This year the Colgate contest was a terrific battle and, having won that, the team was entitled to a vacation until next fall. Syracuse should learn that these post season trips are not worm wniie. They develop noth ng but trouble and among Institutions of top standing they are not permitted. Syracuse should make a firm resolution not to indulge In any more trips or games of any character whatsoever after the annual clash with Colgate. If tho Orange feels that its season is too short if it is ended with the Colcate game on the second Saturday in jMOvemocr it might succeed in getting Colgate to change to the third Saturday, though the early snows at Hamilton make nn early closing advisable. By making tho trip to the West and tauing the beating from Indiana. Svracuse dealt Eastern football a hard blow. The setback is a setback for all Eastern teams In the top company, and will be felt all tho moro keenly because the East Knows mat inaiana is not in tne same class with Syracuse. Bntgen Victory Big Triumph for Coach Sanford. The Rutgers victory over Northwestern Is a big triumph not only for the college but for Foster Sanford, who embodies the old Yale genius of the come back. The Rarltan season has not been productive of too much glory, but all Rutgers realizes that Sanford has laid the foundations for another really great eleven.

Special Dttpatck to Tub Sex. Nkw Haven, Conn., Nov, 23. The Yale campus Is a and \ gloomy place. Most all tho undergrad- uates and tho team returned to NewK the lege has a deserted appearance. Post mortems and discussion of the game are decidedly conspicuous by their absence. No ono Is offering alibi or claiming Harvard had the breaks. Tho defeat has served only to place a great cloud t on the whole University. \J The undergraduates left here last Frl day not overconfident, hut determined1 that Callahan's men come through? victorious. There was disappointment over tho Princeton game, but somehow It was expected that tho Bulldog wouldr gather new strength during the weetf' and, goaded to a greater lighting power\ by the fact tfiat Harvard was the oppo-- 1 nent, would come out victorious. Defeat was not expected, and it Is dlrV flcult for the undergraduates to reallie. And yet beneath all the gloom and quiet-- \ ness there Is the Indefinable feeling of optimism, or rather there 13 not total, discouragement.

Whether, the undergraduates believe blame Is due. tnero or not one cannot ten. Not onet word of reproach or censuro has beenk heard and It looks as if Yale is satisfied with him In spite of his failure to pro-- ., duce a winning team. They cannot un derstand the defeat, but they aro not, criticizing Dr. Sharpe. ? It might be said In passing, however, that the wild rumors about there belnr' dissension In the Yale campus, about tho men losing respect for their head coach and refusing to obey his orders.1 are absolutely groundless. Dr. Sharpe;) was In supreme command here up to the,, last. He has a contract for a term pf\ years and will stay. This can be stated on the best of authority. - CENTRE COLLEGE IS ONLY REAL LEADER Titles in All Other Section in. Mixup, but Kcntucldans Bulo the South. Special Despatch to Thb Scn.

Previously, Georgia Tech had lost to W. and L. by 0 to 3, and had defeated Georgetown by 37 to 0. Thus, George' town looked to be a certain loser, butT the Catholic eleven pulled Itself together' in wonderful shape and ran wild. Centre Itself was engaged yesterday In the mero matter of running up 5S points on De Pauw University In Louis- ville.
