Football

The Golden Bears of California galloped and lunged up and down a field as green as the Irish flag-- but what else could they do? Once, after blocking a Stanford punt, Captain Griffin scored a touchdown, but "Father" Warner's Stanford stunners came on, two by two. In the first period the Stanford regulars scored two touchdowns, in the second period, two, in the last period the substitutes crossed the line twice more so that their team, unbeaten still, won their last game and the West Coast championship, 41 to 6. Richards of Yale jumped through the Harvard line as if it had been mosquito netting and thrust his chest in front of the ball. There was a dull thud. Later on, after the touchdown, there was a placement from the field, a field goal. Even the Crimson efforts of men with names like Chauncey and Saltonstall were not good enough to beat a Yale team which, in a game as bleak as the weather, unrolled victory from a net of fumbles and blocked kicks, 12 to 7.

New York University, heretofore undefeated, went all the way to Nebraska so that Connor, hugging the brown bladder, could run 62 yards. He scored, but a shadow was cast upon the brightness of his team's season. Nebraska made 8 first downs to 1, 15 points to 7.

The jongleurs of Notre Dame, having completed seven successful matinees this season, and hoping still to be the football champions of the U. S., once more demonstrated their ability to keep the ball in the air. Drake could not see how the trick was done. Score: Notre Dame, 21; Drake, 0.

Howard Elliott, a third string substitute, scored three touchdowns and kicked three extra points by way of helping Southern California ha-ha Idaho, 38 to 6.

Mike Wilson and Kirleski, Lafayette's candidates for the All-American, pounded and bored through Lehigh, 35 to 0.

Joesting, Minnesota fullback, did his best, but it soon became evident that Benjamin Friedman of Michigan knew how to take a Joest. He took him on his back, side, flanks, and kept on running. Yale, Harvard and Dartmouth have failed this season to do what Abbiatti, a fullback from New Hampshire, did to Brown, but after his touchdown the Iron Men started. Score: Brown, 40; New Hampshire, 12. Iowa has its Kutsch but Northwestern has its Baker, Lewis and Gustafson, so the co-educational institution on the shores of Lake Michigan finished its first undefeated Big Ten season, out on the prairies of Iowa City. Score: Northwestern, 13; Iowa, 6. Fortnight ago, the toe of Myers Clark of Ohio State faltered once against Michigan; last week it ably functioned once against Illinois. Meanwhile, the toe of Frosty Peters of Illinois erred. Result: Ohio State, 7; Illinois, 6. Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, well out of earshot, watched the Quantico Marines put some salt Willies from Fort Benning, Ga., in the can, 27 to 7. (See p. 7.)
