Football

Soldiers' Field, Cambridge, Mass., is surrounded by a dreary, dilapidated stadium; from factory chimneys near it long pennants of smoke twist in the wind and mark the low sky. Into the stadium last week there drifted a drooling drizzle and a cold, odorous draught. North Carolina, accustomed to warm blue afternoons, grew as stiff as a dying hare. Harvard backs called Gilligan and French fooled Carolina ends called Sapp and Presson so well that Harvard won 20--0.

P:As elusive as a god, Chris Cagle of the Army tempted Providence to catch him while he, proceeding in a mysterious way, kept out of reach. Chris Cagle, together with his soldiers, scored 44 points and made Providence seem inadequate.

P:Dartmouth climbed Allegheny 37--12, Marsters having the best legs.

P:Georgia was the only team which chewed Yale last year. Yale's Garvey scored twice on long runs last week; Georgia succumbed 21--6.

P:Columbia's Kumpf, Liflander and Scott kept coming at Wesleyan's Sigafoos, Silloway and Schwenk--for 65, 80 and 89 yards respectively. There was no doubt that Columbia won 31--7.

P:Bucknell's Halicki covered his ugly broken nose with an even uglier protective framework. He then proceeded to make a touchdown, despite Penn State's wild Wolff, who came scampering and sniffing in his tracks.

trong and Nemecek, chiefly, enabled New York University to crush Fordham 34--7. Pieculewicz made Fordham's only score. Magpie N. Y. U. students pulled down the goal posts.

P:Rutgers died for Holy Cross 46--0.

P:Princeton and Virginia came to naught to naught.

P:Herbert Hoover Jr., Vice President Dawes, Mayors Walker of New York City and Thompson of Chicago, Secretary of the Navy Wilbur, Governor Len Small of Illinois, were a tiny fraction of the largest crowd in U. S. football history (117,000). They sat at Soldier Field, Chicago. They saw Colerick take a pass from Niemiec, causing Notre Dame to sink the Navy 7-0.

P:When Mayes McLain, Cherokee Indian, played for Haskell he scored 253 points in the 1926 season. Last week Mayes McLain kicked, passed, plowed, ran, bowled over, tackled, for Iowa. Mayes McLain carried the ball 22 times for an average gain of five yards. Thus Iowa licked Chicago 13--0.

P:Wisconsin took on Cornell College (Iowa) and Dakota Aggies on the same day, drubbed both of them.

P:Montana's substitute Worden picked up a fumble and scampered 90 yards for a touchdown. But Nebraska won, 26--6.

P: While California was nosing out Washington State, California's southern branch was being trounced by Stanford. Still an-other institution, the University of Southern California, defeated St. Mary's 19-6.

P:Georgia Tech, many times the comet of the South, won from Tulane 12--0.

P: Vanderbilt out-tussled Texas 13--12.
