Football
Russell ("Pug") Daugherity of Illinois, in a headguard like a sunflower, bobbed down the field for 60 yards and stopped behind Chicago's goal line, spoiling one more of Coach Stagg's garden parties, 7 to 0.
Indiana, long regarded as the doormat of the Big Ten, had no word of welcome for Notre Dame, but Flanagan and Dahman insisted on going where, quite obviously, they were not wanted. Score: Notre Dame, 26; Indiana, 0.
Paul Scull's long dropkick in the first quarter was enough to turn a well-played and well-attended game to the credit of Pennsylvania. Score: Pennsylvania, 3; Penn State, 0.
Yale rushed McGunigle into the battle at dusk in a vain effort to stop a Maryland eleven that had got too good a start against the shock troops to go home with anything less than the goal posts and a score of 15 to 0.
Frank ("Chimney") Potts, Oklahoma halfback, running in a straight line, like a man going to a fire, extinguished the last spark of hope in the hearts of the sons of Missouri who saw their able but unwieldy team beaten, 10 to 7.
Purdue passes were not so well managed as Northwestern punts. Score: Northwestern, 22; Purdue, 0.
Army caissons, stimulated by three important forays of Light Horse Harry Wilson, went rolling along over eleven men from Franklin & Marshall who, though still behind the plough, failed to score at all. The Army got 55.
Four times, Friedman of Michigan booted the ball between the brackets. Five touchdowns and a field goal against a badly baffled Wisconsin team made the score 37 to 0.
On a day of uneven scores, Minnesota kept in fashion by swamping Iowa, 41 to 0.
Tossing the ball from pole to pole, Pittsburgh's bludgeoners emerged from the night that covered them to encarnadine West Virginia, 17 to 7.
The Navy, with big Shapley back in the lineup, played a brilliant and careful practice game against West Virginia Wesleyan, winning at 53 to 7.
Far from having, as rumored, a woman in the lineup, William & Mary have a Japanese, Art Matsu, clever quarterback and captain; fortune jilted them against some heavy Columbia fumblers and grabbers. Score: Columbia, 13; Williams & Mary, 10.
Princeton, with a fast, aggressive line, should have won by three points--the 25-yard field goal that Jacob Slagle kicked. But Putnam of Harvard dropped a punt which Tiger ends turned to a touchdown; the Harvard centre forced a safety with an awkward pass, and eleven re-Ropered Princetonians held a rodeo in Cambridge. Score: Princeton, 12; Harvard, 0. No doubt the Tiger paws were rough; no doubt the old talk of the end of Harvard-Princeton football goes the rounds again.
Alabama leapt nearer the Southern Conference title when an end named Winslett punted, passed, buckled and chopped down Kentucky halfbacks. Score: 14 to 0.
The Golden Bears of California have been much baited this autumn. First a thundering herd from Southern California smote them; last week a rawboned northwesterly was too much for them. Score: Washington, 13; California, 7.
