Football Notes on Colleges and Players Strong in Early Season
North western coach McCornack faces poor material and illness while promising players emerge. Dartmouth backfield star Ruch and ex Wesleyan player Forbes draw attention. Penn State, Carlisle, and Harvard are noted for form and prospects. Yale, Princeton, and Brown feature key coaches, trainers, and potential lineups as teams prepare for midseason games and public scrambles.
Western Beats Eastern in Opening High School Football Game
Western defeated Eastern 12 to 0 at National Park in a season opener marked by rough play and injuries. Farrington scored the first touchdown and Worthington added the extra point. Western sealed the win with a late second touchdown after steady driving from their own five-yard line to Eastern’s goal line. Eastern showed grit but could not overturn the halftime deficit as Western dominated the line and maintained control. The game featured two injured Western players and a heavy, warm-weather atmosphere. Hampden Sidney plans to disband amid the death of a player. Minnesota halfback James Irsfield contracted pneumonia and pleurisy, sidelining him for the season.
