Football Matches

(P: Pennsylvania became the first notable destroyer of the season. The brothers Scull (Paul & Folwell) led a shattering attack that mastered Brown for the first time since Tuss McLaughry became coach at Providence in 1926. With an untried line, Penn faced the famed Brown "Iron Men" nervously. Through the first half both teams kicked steadily, hoping for a fumble on the wet field. There was no score. Brown took a desperate chance in the third quarter, throwing a forward pass deep in home territory. Folwell Scull intercepted, scored. Brown recovered a fumbled kick, made a touchdown; failed to kick the goal. Penn marched 60 yards for another score; won the game 14 to 6.

P: Purdue came to Cambridge faintly discouraged. Their great threat, Cotton Wilcox, was injured on the side lines. Into his shoes stepped a Texas youth, Ralph Welch, who ran, kicked and passed his way through a sturdy but bewildered Harvard team to steer Purdue to an easy 19-0 victory. Purdue played western, open football. Harvard, old fashioned, scarcely threatened. Purdue scored in the first three quarters, was on Harvard's three yard line when the game ended.

P:Hank Kumpf gallumphed 70 yards through Wesleyan to add the most brilliant play to Columbia's easy victory 28-0.

G. Colgate collapsed under the eyes of its own undergraduates to lose to unheralded Virginia Polv 6-0.

P:Cornell knocked down another of the "setups" on its schedule (perhaps the easiest schedule of any great university eleven). Cornell 53, University of Richmond 0.

P:The great menace of Notre Dame developed as expected in Detroit, defeating the local University 20-0. P: In the South, the once famous Centre College lost docilly to Vanderbilt, 6 points to 53.

P:In the Far West, Oregon and Idaho played a bitter scoreless tie; while Stanford trounced Nevada 20-2; and Washington massed 40 points to Puget Sound's none.

P: Princeton exercised vigorously to defeat the usually able Lehigh team 42-0. Eddie Whittmer, Princeton's potent half back, kicked hard and high; ran hard and low, scored four touchdowns.

P: A Bulldog grunted and tore its way viciously around the Yale Bowl to win a smashing, heart-breaking game 14-10. The Bulldog scored suddenly in the first four minutes and again in the second period. From then on he was savagely on the defensive; turning back in the final period three separate desperate lunges on the threshold Of his own goal. In the last three minutes the game was apparently lost when a forward pass floated over the Bulldog's goal into enemy arms. But the play was not allowed as the enemy was out of the end zone. Thus the Bulldog of Georgia beat the Bulldog of Yale for the first time in their four years' fighting.

P:The highest score in prominent games was made by the violet squad of New York University, who hammered Alfred into a 65-0 pulp.

P: The most unusual feat of the Saturday afternoon was Myles Lane's at Dartmouth. As his team defeated Allegheny 38-7 he made two touchdowns in one minute. After smashing through for a touchdown in the third period, he caught the kick-off and sprinted 90 yards for another score.
