Drilled in the technique of every Notre Dame play, in the very mannerisms of every Notre Dame backfield man, Princeton's sons went sanguinely into battle and found themselves facing--a team of substitutes. Abstractedly they wrangled through the first period, chafed with a black curiosity for what lay ahead. The second period began, Coach Rockne's regulars swept out in a cluster; Tiger nerves jangled. What Coach Rockne's incomparable strategy had begun, Halfback Crowley's mighty thews executed. Twice, after prolonged offensives, the ball went through the gallant Princeton defense for touchdowns. Score: Notre Dame 12, Princeton 0.

In the last few minutes of the Yale-Brown contest, one Cottle, Yale halfback, sprang lightly away from the last man who tried to tackle him, landed lightly on his feet. In his arms was the ball, 56 yards in front of him was the Brown goal line, nothing between. Until that moment, Brown had been ahead by the hair's breadth of a field goal; after that they were four points behind. Demoralized by so abrupt a slight of fortune, they failed to stop Lindley of Yale from crossing the line again, went home defeated, 13 to 3. If the pigskin used in the Harvard-Dartmouth exhibition had been retained by the animal which it originally covered, then greased, and in that state put in play, the feats performed with it by the Crimson players might not have so dumbfounded those who looked on. They manipulated it, those Harvard mountebanks, after the fashion of tricksters who, juggling egg, watch, orange, drop egg and watch--those family friends who toss a baby to the ceiling and neglect to catch it. Dartmouth's margin would have been greater had Quarterback Dooley, Halfback Oberlander exerted themselves more. As it was, they were content to score only once, winning at 6 to 0.

Lafayette's "League of Nations back-field"--Moore, Chicknoski, Kirleski, Gebhard--swept to an easy victory over Washington and Jefferson. The latter team, on the defensive throughout, made several brilliant stands, and with the muscular support of Fullback Harmony, managed to keep the score down to 20 to 6.

Stung to demoniac fury by the Nebraska spikes that trampled him a week before, Tryon, Colgate's famed halfback, roared up and down a striped field smiting those whom he could reach, piling up 26 of the 49 points his team scored against little Hobart. On another field, unhelped by any demon, Swarthmore inflicted a similar indignity on Stevens Tech, also 49 to 0.

As the sun, a smooth yellow oval, spun lazily across the continent, it shone down on another meteor, one Friedman, who played for Michigan against Wisconsin. Now Meteor Friedman, in turn, thinking of flashing, dazzling "Red" Grange who had torn through his team the week before, had determined that he himself would flash, dazzle. Wherefore, he scored one touchdown himself and threw passes that made possible the two more. The score: Michigan 21, Wisconsin 0.

A pinch-kicker named Curley alone saved Chicago from disaster at the hands and shoulders of Ohio State, which until the last minute of play seemed imminent. Curley's drop-kick crossed the bar, kept Chicago in the conference running. Score: Chicago 3, Ohio 3.

Other Big Ten games were less important. In the South, Georgia smashed Vanderbilt 3 to 0, smashed also Vanderbilt's All-American end, Bomar. On the Pacific coast, the champion Golden Whales of California State wallowed and spouted, swamped Washington State 20 to 7 without a fluke. Oregon was 40 to Whitman's 6. Southern California, strongest title-seeker, was 21 to Nevada's 7.
