Football
For the first time in his college career as a varsity back, in spite of the tumbling Army gave him a week before, Albie Booth played every minute of a game. Once he danced around end and over the Dartmouth goal line, but the touchdown was called back on penalty. He threw away another score by trying a pass on the 17-yard line, fourth down, two yards to go. The rest of the afternoon was a bucking match in which two able lines proved their ability to stop two able back-fields. Dartmouth 0, Yale 0.
Left End Baker, leading Conference scorer, ran 30 yards to a touchdown; Right Halfback Hanley got one too, and Northwestern's unbeaten Wildcats, sticking mostly to line plays, drew nearer the Big Ten championship by beating Minnesota, 27 to 6.
Alabama won its sixth game in succession and Kentucky lost its first of the season when Moore threw a 44-yard pass to Suther, who was waiting on the five-yard line. Alabama made it 19 to 0 before the afternoon was over.
A smart and nervy William & Mary team picked up one fumble and intercepted one pass. Result: two touchdowns and a 13-13 tie with Harvard.
Princeton and Chicago played furiously, recklessly, each seeing in the other a chance to lose its reputation for ineffectiveness. These reputations were only emphasized by the result: 0 to 0.
Quarterback Ralph Hewitt ran 90 yards for a touchdown and kicked a 52-yard field-goal, but Columbia's nice double-wing attack and the way they ploughed the Cornell line kept their victory from looking freakish. Columbia 10, Cornell 7.
Halfback Johnny Doyle and his friends from West Virginia ripped the Fordham line for a total of 210 yards, almost all of it in the second half which they started twelve points behind. Bad luck and mistaken generalship kept them from adding three touchdowns to their safety. Fordham 18, West Virginia 2.
Kansas outrushed Penn a little, but the easterners ran off their passes well enough to win, 21 to 6.
Duke, which beat the Navy, as usual gave the ball to Halfback Jimmy Murray when gains were needed. Duke 12, Villanova 6.
Clearly outsmarted, Nebraska made two stonewall stands within its five-yard line, earned a 0-0 tie with Pittsburgh.
Army scored in every period except the last to beat North Dakota 33 to 6.
Navy's passes looked much better against West Virginia Wesleyan than they did against Notre Dame--almost as well as they looked against Princeton. Navy 37, West Virginia Wesleyan 14.
Indiana held the Notre Dame scrubs scoreless in the first half, and even the regulars of the country's greatest team did not do so much when their turn came as the score might seem to indicate. Notre Dame 27, Indiana 0.
Purdue, with Halfback Risk feeling fine,, had an easy day at Illinois, 25 to 0.
After beating California and Southern California on successive Saturdays, Washington State ran into trouble. The husky Oregon Statesmen came from behind to tie the score in the last period. Then Edwards intercepted a pass and ran 26 yards. Washington State 14, Oregon State 7.
California's big Golden Bears punched Montana like a cash register, 46 to 0.
Oklahoma ran away with enough fumbles to beat the more highly polished Iowa Statesmen, 19 to 13.
On a day when the number of scoreless ties suggested that the rules may have to be changed to limit defensiveness, Ohio State and Wisconsin, muffing all their chances, added to the evidence.
So did Florida and Georgia, which was a setback to Georgia's ambition for a southern championship.
From Virginia came Hampton (Negro) with thousands of black rooters, to take revenge on Lincoln of Pennsylvania for beating them last year. Both teams were so extraordinarily cautious that Hampton scored only three first downs, Lincoln only two. Quarterback Hiawatha Harris of Hampton disgusted his followers by the way he handled punts and was replaced by Long Beam who juggled less. Famed Halfback Edgar ("Beau") Guess did nothing whatever. Hampton 0, Lincoln 0.
