Football

An agile quarterback (one Mickey Dooley) hard to hold as a peeled potato, a giant blond halfback (Swede Oberlander) did well for Dartmouth against Yale, but they made one fumble apiece. That was why the Scoreboard bore the deadlock legend: "....14, ....14." To Yale went the moral victory, always the property of the weaker team when a tie occurs; to the spectators went the impression that the Blue was a team alert rather than capable--a team that had played gallantly rather than well. Had it not been for the toe of a Sophomore substitute, the Princeton-Navy game would have tied. Up and down the field the teams had maneuvered, Princeton light and speedy, the Navy ponderous and smooth. The Navy had taken an early lead; Dinsmore, slender Tiger quarter, had fought uphill ; in the last period a kick was blocked, the score stood 14 all. With Princeton in striking distance, Ewing, substitute, was called in. Deftly he kicked a field goal, making the final score Princeton 17, Navy 14. Two huge men, each a captain, each a center, met on New York's Polo Grounds, shook hands, tossed up a penny--Garbisch of the Army, Walsh of Notre Dame. For the rest of the afternoon they battered each other bloody; at the end, Walsh was the bloodiest, but his team had won--13 to 7. With a backfield--Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden--who ran "like the Four Horsemen"; a line whose defense was adamant, whose assault was clockwork--they undid those Army men, while many notables looked on. Coach Rockne had taught them tricks. Cornell's underslung applecart, so effectively upset by Williams the week previous, once more lurched, swerved, lumbered off the road. This time Rutgers was the thank-you-ma'am; the score was 10 to 0. The red team ran more effectively than against Williams; there were fewer fumbles; but Benkert,

Rutgers halfback, made a touchdown, Fullback Hazel kicked a field goal. When Pennsylvania kicked off to Columbia, the unsoiled pigskin, barely lifted from the ground, bounced and jounced into the arms of Quarterback Pease, who carried it 90 yards for a touchdown. But Pease-porridge-hot was soon Pease-porridge-cold, for Coach Haughton's line could not stand against the Quakers' plunges, nor could

Captain Koppisch or the speedy Pease get away to score. Penn played sturdy football, carried off the day 10 to 7.

Harvard and Holy Cross muddled through a ragged contest. In the first period, Miller, Crimson half, was tackled so eagerly that the ball flew from his arm. Crowley of Holy Cross scooped it up and scored. In the last period, Miller kept the ball by him, raced 60 yards, brought in the touchdown that won for Harvard--12 to 6.

Syracuse's big team, discovering a power hitherto concealed, downed Boston College 10 to 0, on a touchdown and field goal scored by Fullback McBride. The Orange team was superior in every department of the game except kicking.

Westward, the sun shone on a redhaired, eel-hipped runagate, Grange by name. He, all-American halfback of last season, running and dodging with fabulous agility, scored five of the six touchdowns that Illinois piled up against Michigan for its 39 to 14 victory. He ran through a broken field like a thoroughbred through a bog, supported always by superb interference. (The week previous Grange played against Butler College for 16 minutes, scored 12 points.)

Nebraska welcomed Colgate with such a display of feints, line-bucks, cross-bucks and hidden ball plays that after the first quarter the game was not a game. Concentrating on Tryon, Colgate star whom they had been told to fear, the Cornhuskers battered him into helplessness, let their visitors off gently at 33 to 7.

On Stagg Field, Chicago, there was carnage. All unwitting, a team from Indiana strayed in and fell prey to the fierce Chicago backfield, the potent Chicago line. When all was over, folk said Chicago is fiercer this year than any conference eleven--except Illinois. The score, which could have been worse: Chicago 23, Indiana 0.

On the same afternoon that General Charles G. Dawes repaired to Evanston, Ill., eleven explosive young gentlemen from Purdue turned up there also. Great was Notherwestern's dis- comfort. One field goal for the Purple, far from dampening the ardor of these young gentlemen, inflamed them to such an extent that they touched off numerous forward passes, one of which fulminated behind the Northwestern goal line. Score : Purdue 7, Northwestern 3.

Badgers from Wisconsin and Gophers from Minnesota spent a fruitless afternoon gnawing at one another. At the outset, with tackle Schwarze, biggest Badger, ripping open large holes in the Gopher colony, it looked as though he and his fellows must win. But the biting of other Badgers fell (Continued on Page 27)

(Continued from Page 24) short of their barking; the Gophers equeaked over a touchdown on the last period; the score stood 7 to 7.
