i ‘S ‘_-E[_/anderb GOPHERS' DEFEAT STARTLING UPSET Lik- | Yale-Maryiand Game BY H, C. BYRD. HE most noteworthy per- ened to Epic Baitle Between Irish and S. M. U. formance in foot ball last I week was the brilliant vic- tory of Vanderbilt over Minnesota. Not only that, but it is likely to stand as one of the most remarkable efforts of the whole season. And it is doubtful if any eleven in the whole history of Southern foot ball has ever gone to play a Northern eleven and developed such power and versatility as Vander- bilt must have shown. To beat Minnesota at all, in any way or under any conditions, is a note- worthy feat, as many Western Confer- ence elevens are well able to testify, but to completely annihilate it by 33 to 7 is something so unusual as to cause real astonishment; and for that to hap- pen with a Southern eleven playing the annihilating role is something in which the whole South should take pride. Certainly those gentlemen who, before the season began, yea, before the squads got out for practice, predicted that Vanderbilt would be one of the four strongest elevens in the South this Fall found nothing in Saturday's game at Minnesota to cause any lack of confi: dence in their judgment. Three di ferent foot ball coaches in widely scat- tered sections of the South told the | writer at different times last Summer in | substance that “Vanderbilt will be among the first four this Fall and probably will have the strongest eleven in the South. They had a rocky road 1ast year, but they'll come through this | t(m!.bru can just bet, because they have the stuff.” Team Well Coached. ‘Vanderbilt started scoring lg t;l‘: hrs: | riod against Minnesota an not | r;sp. It got one touchdown in the | first , two in the Setond, and one each in the third and fourth. Min- nesota's lone score was made in the opening period. That Vanderbilt vie- tory is a tribute to the good material out of which the team is built and to excellent eoaching. However, if Dan McGugin, Vander- | | offensive | D PORTS. ilt Eleven Astounds G to 0. Defeat of Virginia by that score also was entirely unexpected. In fact, it ts likely that most people thought Virginia would be the victor, consider- ing the way it opened its season in its two preliminary games. ‘Washington and Lee and Virginia Military Institute both had hard sled- ding to make away with teams repre- senting smaller schools. The Generals won from Richmond by two touch- downs, scoring ons in the first half and | one in the second, while V. M. I. had | a difficult afternoon beating St. John's | of Annapolis by 6 to 0. It was an | intercepted pass that put V. M. L in a position to score and by all reports St. John's had just about as much advan- tage most of the time as the Cadets. North Carolina and Virginia Poly- technic Institute had a hectic - after- noon, with neither team apparently able to stop the other. The Tarheels got ! six_touchdowns and V. P. L three. Two big elevens in different, sections of the country failed to show the power expected of them. California took a jolt from Washington State College by 16 to 0 and the University of Michigan failed to win from Michigan State Col- | lege, neither side scoring. This makes the second time that Michigan has | made a poor showing against what ordi- | narily is a weaker eleven.

HE Mohawks, who last year fin- ished runners-up to the cham- plon Apaches for the District title, were far from impressive in their opening game against the Lans- downe eleven yesterday at the Griffith Stadium. In short, if the Hawks mean to lift the crown from the heads of the Little | Indians, or even hurdle the Northerns, Knickerbockers and St. Mary's Celtics, they'll have to show more than was dis- played yesterday. It was not so much that they were beatzn, 6 to 0, that rankled in the minds of supporters of the Southeast team.| The touchdown which spelled defeat was the result of a lucky break—an inter- cepted pass by Penny Johnson in the shadow of his own goal and an un- molested dash of 90 yards. But the Mohawks, as a team, lacked the typical Mohawk fire and teamwork. In the first half, the few hundred fans were more content to wait for the | returns on the world series game, for | the play was decidedly ragged.

In what| wes probably the most _talked-of game—that between Southern Methodist and XNotre Dame—the = South Bend school won by 20 to 14 after what was almost an epic opening struggle. | The teams were tied until the last four minutes of play, when the Irish put| across the touchdown that enabled them | t5 begin their year successfully. Texas | A. and M. lost to Nebrsaka by 0 to 13, Tulane was beaten by Northwestern by 14 to 0 and Maryland was defeated by | Yale, 40 to 13. Mistakes Beat Maryland. However, that Yale-Maryland game came close to being just about the same .kind :of & struggle that Southern Methodist put up at Notre Dame. It seems s , yet it is a fact, that Maryland, despite its 40-to-13 defeat, could have been & winner. A summary of Yale touchdowns shows that five of the six made were directly attributable either to blunders or mechanical mis- takes made by Maryland. Take that second quarter, for instance. With the score standing 7 to 7, Berger fumbled on Yale's 8-yard line after Maryland had carried the ball there from its 40- yard line on 4 plays. Then Yale got & touchdown largely because it recovered one of its punts that a Maryland back tried to pick up on his own 30-yard line while it was rolling around on the ground. Again in that second period Yale got into a scoring position because Maryland tried a forward pass on its own 27-yard mark and threw the ball into a Yale back’s arms. Despite that, with the score standing 21 to 7 against it, Maryland came back and scored another touchdown on a drive of 60 yards, aided by a pass and a long run by Berger, and then actually got another touchdown, which was not allowed. Maryland had the ball on Yale’s 15-yard line and forward passed to Berger. The Old Liner caught the ball two yards inside the field of play ands carried it across the goal line, ‘where & Yale back knocked it from his arms, officials ruled it an incom- plete pass and gave Yale a touchback. ©Old Liners Fumble, The kind of game the two teams fought through is indicated by the fact that the score at the end of that first half, even with all the mistakes made by Maryland, and it made aplenty, should have been 21 to 20. The third quarter was a battle, with Maryland on three occasions having its running at- % stopped by fumbles recovered by ‘ale. In the fourth quarter, though, what actually was a much more desperate struggle on the part of both elevens than even the great crowd realized be- gan to tell on both teams, but Maryland simply did not have the reserve strength to throw into the game. With its two regular tackles sitting on the bench shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, Yale gained consistently with its short end runs and cutbacks over tackle, and in this period outplayed the Old Liners ccmpletely. Maryland has nothing to be ashamed of as a result of its defeat by Yale. It made many mechanical mistakes, half & dozen or more fumbles breaking up its offensive at critical times, and it also | made more errors of judgment than | Yale, but if the Old Liners work with a | will to correct these things, especially | the mishandling of the ball, then they will have an eleven that should be able to take care of itself in any of the many difficult games it is to play. Did Well Enough. George Washington and _Catholic University also took defeats Saturday, the former at the hands of Rutgers and the latter with Franklin Marshall. Both simply were against stronger elevens, the major title of the season. On the short end of & 5-to-0 score in | the fourth inning, the Tigers displayed | their class by counting 11 times in the | fifth and sixth frames to win, 11 to 6. TO Dick Hughes, veteran pitcher, may | be attributed the victory of the ‘Tigers in the play-off series, for it was Hughes who twice turned in wins over the Dixie Pigs, the favorites. Hughes made a great comeback with the Tigers. In the Terminal League, five of Dixies played with Pullman, and the latter club was plain poison to Dick. Yesterday these five Pullman players made only three hits between them off Hughes, and Stahl made two of these.

Frequently half of the back- field would step one way and the other half the other way.

The work of Phil Delaney, former Northern tackle, was outstanding for | the Mohawks.
