"Five Yards" McCarty of Chicago ran after Swede Oberlander of Dartmouth, was knocked down, arose and ran again. Throughout the game this performance was repeated. Often McCarty caught Oberlander, but when the latter, instead of carrying the ball, dropped back and fired it accurately into the reaching hands of Lane, then McCarty and Chicago were baffled, and Dartmouth swept on to a 33 to 7 victory that carries with it the unofficial national football title.

"Block that kick! Block that kick ! "The Yale cheering section repeated the phrase monotonously in the belief that it would annoy Slagle (Princeton) who was about to punt. Evidently it did, for Slagle, instead of kicking, started for the Yale right end with the ball under his arm. A few moments later he was 82 yards farther down the field, which was as far as he needed to go. In the next period, when Princeton was in danger, Dignan punted 71 yards. These two fabulous feats, plus the work of a line that never wavered, made it possible for big W. H. Edwards ("Peter Pan of Princeton") to climb down from the stands and lead a writhing battalion to tear down the goal posts for souvenirs. Score: Princeton 25, Yale 12.

Harold ("Red") Grange of Illinois (who has received so much publicity that the Knickerbocker Ice Co. recommended its product to the public on the score that he has carried ice on his back) sat on a bench and saw his second and third string teammates beat Wabash on a sloppy field, 21 to 0.

Minnesota crushed Iowa, 33 to 0.

Molenda of Michigan ("Wild Bull of the Campus") threw himself over a brawl of huddled linesmen to secure a touchdown which, supplemented by a field goal, won the game in the first half. Score: Michigan 10, Ohio State 0.

Cornell's uncertain team, held scoreless in the first half, worked up steam slowly like an old locomotive on a slippery grade until it went fast enough to beat Canissius, 33 to 0.

Chauncey is not a name with a particularly manly sound, and Boston "townies" were loud with their falsetto derision of this newcomer in the Harvard backfield. But however funny the name of Chauncey--or the name of Marion Adolphus Cheek, for that matter--may have been to pool-parlor nickel-spinners, the weaker sisters of the Harvard eleven would have fared badly had not Chauncey's toe sent a ball over the crossbar. Score: Harvard 3, Brown 0.

In the middle of the second period of the Pittsburgh-Penn game, the Umpire and the Referee saw two players exchanging vigorous fisticuffs, sent both of them off the field. A groan went up from the Pittsburgh stands for one of the pummelers was Fullback "Gus" Gustafson, their flower. But already this nimble Nordic had materially assisted in the scoring of two touchdowns, which was enough to win the game, 14 to 0.

Because of all the strutting which, by some obscure military convention, West Point cadets are compelled to go through before every football game, a defeat for the Army seems doubly degrading. Columbia, with Pease back in gear, inflicted this humilation upon the grey-coats. Score: Columbia 21, Army 7.

On a muddy field in the Berkshire hills, Amherst won the "Little Three Championship" from Williams, 13 to 7.

A football team, like the armies of Napoleon, often fights on its belly, and thus fought Rutgers, sprawling low on its one-yard to form a defense which Holy Cross tried twice, and twice failed, to pierce. But legs are well-nigh as useful as bellies to football players, and Holy Cross won, 6 to 0.

Notre Dame, using all its substitutes, easily squashed Carnegie Tech, 26 to 0.

Northwestern, although finishing several leaps behind the leaders in the Conference league, showed power against Purdue. Score: Northwestern 13, Purdue 9.

Against Bucknell the Navy played better football than it has for several weeks; ended its home season with a victory, 13 to 7.

Syracuse knew that Colgate was no soft soap. Colgate was aware that Syracuse could not lightly be brushed aside. Before they met, each--like a mountaineer's beard--had never been trimmed. After a number of close shaves, Eddie Tryon, "hardest blob in Colgate's tube," squirmed through left tackle, trickled 28 yards for a touchdown. Others followed. Score: Colgate 19, Syracuse 6.

Not even when Robert Tyre Jones came back from winning the National Amateur Golf Championship had there been such a crowd in Atlanta as that which gathered to see Georgia Tech play the University of Georgia for the first time in nine years. The game was won by a single field goal. Score: Georgia Tech 3; Georgia 0.

Two enormous crowds assembled to see the University of California play Washington University--crowds separated, not by their allegiance, but by their pocketbooks. For whereas 75,000 football fans with their class-conscious ladies passed in an orderly fashion through the gates of the Berkeley stadium, some 25,000 merry rooters climbed up an elevation known as Tightwad Hill, which overlooks the field, and from which every play can be seen as clearly as if you were sitting on a slab of cement you had paid three dollars for. So the two camps--the purseproud and the gay--waved flags at each other, while down on the green parchesi-board the two teams wavered up and down until Washington had won, 7 to 0.
