EASTERN TEAMS SHOW SOME HIGH-CLASS FOOTBALL Victories of Four Important Games Won With Very Small Margins. NEW YORK, Nov. 4 High-class football play marked the majority of eastern games on the first Saturday ot November, and there was an absence of upsets tvhleh hnvo featured preceding gridiron struggles.

Among the more important battles of the day the outstanding contests were those between Notre Dame and the Army; Syracuse and Brown; Rutgers nnd Virginia, and Dartmouth and Pennsvivanla State. Forecasts thnt this quartet of games nouid be the hardest fought ramp true, fnr in no case did the winner's margin of victory excerd six points. Chief lntcrrnt centered in the outcome of the. meeting between the soldiers and the Notre Dame Hoven, due to their rivalry and the added fact that the game hrotight east and west together. The Indiana team won.

7 to 2, after the hardest kind of a gridiron battle, and proved conclusively that the Notre Dame combination was the better eleven In every way. The victors were fully equal In phvstcnl material to tho cadet squad, and all through the game executed plays faster and cleaner than the army and with het-tr judgment. The soldiers line, with the fear of a forward pans always hanging over its head, was inclined to plav wide and loose, with the result that the fndlnna collegintes clung closely to straight football tactics and made most of their gains through or around the line. The soldiers, notwithstanding their demand, made crodltnhle tight in view -of the handicaps that surrounded their gridiron work this season. This can he stated without detracting In anv wav from the victory of the Notre Dame team, which was both clean-r-ut nnd fullv deserved.

Syracuse stuck to straight fnotbnll In defeating Brown. 0 to 0, and this solitary touchdown marked the mnrirln of ndmn- By BLINK EY HORN.

It may be miucuit be nrst 10 aetect, but still it bap pens to be there, even though a ml crOSCODe in nooriorf tn flnrl It. Only the name of Vanderbilt was cut to noons tsaturaay.

Not Vnn1irhnt itan.lt No representative Commodore machine would ever have been so completely uy uven me powenui juggernaut Whtch TTelmnnii ha nut tna-nthar Tech's moBt rebljj supporters conceded that fact. Charley Wnlio, who nursed in his heart wound dealt hack In 100B. when the toe of Bob Blake acnlped Carlisle, characterized the situation when he declared that not Vanderbtlt but Vnndor-hilt's ghost hns supplied the feast for M'eco aiter iwenty-nvc years or rami hp. ftTen me ceienrnten Indian i conrcssea that the Jackets could hiirdly coll the four xormer nerenrs aummistercd to Tech by the Commodores In 1892, 1000, 1007 nnd 1010 avenged through the knockout of a bantam by a heavyweight. For the Commodores faced the same odds Pete Herman would encounter In a roped engagement with Jess Wlllnrd, despitirMbe old that you cannot kill an English sparrow with a 42.centlmcter.

Still, even though Jess might bn unable to land it wallop upon so pigmy a foe, the very cyclone generated by an intended smash Would concoct a case of double pneumonia for the bantam tltleh older. Tech Not Greatest Eleven In Dixie's Football History. The staggering defent at the hands of Tech Is more than apt to crystallze football opinion Into the belief held by the victory, in toxica ted Jacket, that Helsinnn heads the greatest eleven ever sent across a Dixie gridiron. Yet only by relative comparisons la an eleven truly great. The Commodores of 11)00, who trimmed Carlisle, 4 to 0, on Dudley field, would have lowed up the Golden Tornado to an August zephyr.

Not that the eleven of that year is selected by reason of Its superiority to any other black and gold machine, but simply for the sake of a parallel between near-king, since the Indian outfit of that fall was conceded to have clambored close to the summit of the football world. Yet before a truly great Vanderbilt machine they were plunged Into the mire of defeat. In all Departments Teeh Was Great Saturday. Not that we would seek to distract any credit from the polish, the coheslveness, the brilliant Interference and the sclntllnt-lng Individual stara of the Hclsman horde. There is no denying their claim to superiority In Dixie.

Whether the Golden Tornado could sweep Pitt and Ohio State from Its path Is a question which Is apt to aupply a debate everlasting, unless a meeting can be arranged. Strapper as a Sldestepper Is Bare Jewel. That Tech of the present owns title as the greatest of all time In Dixie, that Strapper and Guyon In thotr respective toalnons are the kings of all time In Sun-and's gridiron annals, is too far from a fact to admit of discussion.

Ten pounds were they outweighed to the man. Tech admitted that. As matter of fact the overweight probably was closer fifteen pounds. Even without that advantage the final verdict would have been the same. Still.

Vanderbilt was capable of better football than they ex- mnuea. rasaes wmrn were compieiea ny Tech should have been broken up.

So far as tho acres ot ground gained around the wings were concerned, tho feeble Commodores were helplessly hemmed In by a mass of players sent straight at the wings to cut down the flunk guardians.

With that obstacle removed under a crushing pile-driving blow, the src-ondary defense was fearful of rushing for ward lest tue runner sjip past, which repentedly happened. The Vandy tackles, beaten back, never once were able to cross the line of scrimmage.

In which the Volunteers bowed after game fight to the army outfit. The game was more or less of the early season variety nnd it was apparent to the crowd of several hundred persons thnt the rough edges of both teams poked out In several places. At the same time there were moments of nildaeasou flush" which found a place in the categorv of hlgh-claHB play. In considering1 the fact that the soldiers' team has utilized its spare time from drills for piny during the laBt three weeks and that the Volunteers have only been scrimmaging among themselves for two weeks, the exhibition staged yesterday at Walto Held was creditable both to victor and vanquished.

Director McGHl stated yesterday that pledge curds would be received at headquarters and those who have not already signed are UBked to do so at once nnd either bring or send them to headquarters.

Saturday aft- ernoon the State Normal eleven accomplished feat on the gridiron for which they have worked In vain for several years beating the Castle Heights team. Coming with the strongest team which has rep-' resented the Murfreesboro school for many years they trampled their old-time rivals beneath a score of 31 to 0. The else of the score would Indicate' that the visitors ran all over the Castle Heights team, but anyone present at the game will refute any such- claim, for many of the ftorwal supporters expressed It as being one of the best and hardest fought games they have ever witnessed. But one thing the victory and the slse of the score indicated was the excellent coaching the normal aggregation has received. Tutored by "Km" Ployd, a star on the Vanderbilt eleven last year, the Murfreesboro team displayed some of the best team work and all-round playing of any team seen In action here this year.

And to the able coaching of Ployd Is due the long waited -for taste of revenge at the hands of the local school. While an abundance of praise can be 6 laced on the defensive work of Castle Eelghts In making their opponents fight for every Inch of ground, there must be -admitted they showed a miserable lack of driving power on the offensive. Only once during the whole game did they get near ihe normal goal line and that time was Just to the twenty-yard line. In another department the Castle Heights boys showed dismal failure that of coping with 1 the forward passes which visitors contln- nously sprung on them for largsj gains. diMrti atiif eelehratlbv the vto rory of State Normal, the fans of this -place are consoled to a larm extent by the great uphill game which their favorites Normal outwetebtf the local buncN aUcbtiy, but aa far thti connratd In "he final reaolta, tt did not (how to any material aclrantaje.
