Football

Football fulminations continued last week on many fronts.

To complete ten passes out of twelve attempted on a rather windy field is something of a feat, but had not Quarterback Jake Slagle accomplished it there is some doubt whether Princeton, with a put-and-take line, could have beaten Washington and Lee by even as much of a margin as 15 to 6.

Born in 1899, still going strong was the tradition that Nebraska should beat Missouri. A touchdown, a safety. Score: Missouri 9, Nebraska 6.

A football fiesta, planned as strictly a Stagg party by the sons of Chicago, was badly upset when one Marek, Ohio back, passed, ran, kicked, held them to a tie, 3-3.

Before 25,000 frostbitten spectators, all sorry they had come, Yale jumped on Georgia, 35-7.

Harvard, using line-plunges alone, buried Middlebury, 68-0.

Red Grange, partly over the pummeling he received from Nebraska, picked up heart and a loose ball, and raced 40 yards for a touchdown against Butler. Before the game was over he had made another. Score: Illinois 16, Butler 13.

The Columbia backs--Pease, Madden, Sesit Kirchmeyer -- rushed against eleven wavering Philistines from Wesleyan. Score: Columbia 64, Wesleyan 0.

The Army, giving its substitutes a good afternoon's exercise against Knox, was startled when Senn, Knox halfback, had the effrontery to run 55 yards for a touchdown. Score: Army 26, Knox 7.

Once Michigan had a team of gridironers they called their "Point-a-Minute-Men." If a team can have a ghost, the ghost of that famed team stood up and whirled against Indiana, blackening the air with passes, streaking around ends, through holes like railway-tunnels, to win, 63-0.

Its appetite sharpened by memories of last year's defeat, the Navy Goat, hungry enough to eat a kerosene can, had no trouble in gobbling up Marquette, 19-0.
