Football

Michigan and Northwestern, tied for the Big Ten championship in 1926. 1930, 1931, had not played each other since 1925 until last week. At Ann. Arbor Northwestern's huge-pawed, plunging halfback Pug Rentner fumbled better than he plunged. His first fumble gave Michigan the chance for its first touchdown, three minutes after the game started. While Northwestern scored once, Michigan passes got another touchdown, and Michigan's best passer, Harry Newman, made a 52-yd. run, kicked a field goal that would have been convenient if Northwestern fourth-quarter march had not stalled on Michigan's seven-yard line. Michigan 15, Northwestern 6.

Amos Alonzo Stagg, Yale's first Ail-American end, went back to New Haven with his 41st Chicago team, which had started its season by beating Monmouth 41 to O. A prodigious skimming pass, Zimmer to Sahlin, from midfield to the goal line, gave Chicago its second-period touchdown, gave Yale, held scoreless by Bates the week before, its second tie for the season, 7 to 7.

New rule: A player removed for a substitute may return to the game in any subsequent period. Who broke it: Coach Ed Madigan of "little" St. Mary's, in the first period against California. When St.

Mary's had marched 44 yd. to California's 36-yd. line, Coach Madigan sent in Fullback Dodson, whom he had taken out of the game a few plays before. The 25-yd.

penalty cost St. Mary's her chance for a touchdown to break the 12 to 12 tie.

Princeton and Columbia played their first football game in 27 years. Observers thought it was also the first real football-- with hard tackling, clever passing and even a 25-yd. penalty for unnecessary roughness--that Princeton had played since 1929. The penalty accounted for Columbia's first touchdown: Cliff Montgomery's slippery slants off tackle or end and a smart overhead game accounted for two more. Columbia 20, Princeton 7.

Five U. S. teams which use the Notre Dame system*Yale, Navy, Villanova, Michigan State, Georgia--started the season badly last fortnight. It looked as though the new rules might have impaired the system until last week when Notre Dame, coached by Hunk Anderson, opened its own season by giving the Haskell Indians their worst beating since 1918, 73 to 0.

Longest run of the week--10-5 yd.--was Herb McAnly's, helping Florida swamp Sewanee, 19 to 0. Biggest score of the week--105 to 0--was by Murray (Ky.) Teachers College, scoreless in its first two games, against the University of Louisville.

Tennessee's candidate for this year's All American, Beattie Feathers, ran 54 yd.

for one touchdown, caught a short pass for another, against North Carolina, 20 to 7.

Purdue, trying to live up to its rating as a good bet for this year's Big Ten Championship, broke few holes in Minnesota's line but dented it steadily in the second period to win, 7 to 0, on Carter's touchdown and Pardonner's kick.

Santa Clara upset California last fortnight. Last week, Stanford upset Santa Clara, 14 to 0.

*Notre Dame backfields shift from T formation behind a balanced line. The shift started in 1913, when famed Knute Rockne was Notre Dame's captain end.
