Sport: Scores

On a day, mean and drizzling in the East, chilly and clear in the West, and sticky in the South, more football teams scampered about on more playing fields.

The splendid and enormous University of Chicago employs Coach Alonzo Stagg to improve its football team. Coach Stagg, by putting in his best men, managed to keep the University of South Carolina down to one touchdown; since his own men did not score, they lost the game, 6-0. Then they lost a second game to Ripon College (Ripon, Wis.), 12-0.

In a great newly enlarged stadium in Manhattan, Columbia’s Kumpf bumped the University of Vermont so hard that his team won its first game 20-0.

The Navy played Davis-Elkins and lost its first game by a touchback, 0-2. “Pugh,” shouted the supporters of Davis-Elkins after the game was over. They were not being rude to the young disappointed sailors but acclaiming the tough centre on their sturdy line.

Fordham, cracked up to have prospects of a season without defeat, beat St. Bonaventure, 27-0. Many strong teams bullied little opponents into quick submission; Cornell scattered Clarkson Tech.; West Point drilled Boston University, Colgate smeared St. Lawrence, Dartmouth scuttled Norwich, Amherst gobbled Middlebury, Notre Dame routed Loyola, Pennsylvania clawed Ursinus, California smashed Santa Clara U., Penn State walked through Lebanon Valley.
