Football
After practicing for a week in Philadelphia, California's Golden Bears (average, 182 lb.) roughed Gentle and mastered Masters after he had scored one touchdown. Penn woke up to the hidden ball trick after the second period and nobody could score at all. California 12, Penn 7.
When Cagle made the Army's third touchdown Harvard looked through, but Harding caught a long pass standing on the goal line, then fell across it, and 57,000 people saw Wood kick the goal that tied the score. Army 20, Harvard 20.
Cornell could not put anything in Wittmer's way when he snaked a kick-off past them for a touchdown, but after that excitement Princeton rooters sat drearily while red jerseys went through centre, guard, tackle for safe gains. Cornell 13, Princeton 7.
Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado, puffed out last fortnight by North Carolina, last week cracked Florida's Alligators, 19--7.
Dowler ran down the sidelines for one score, Hart threw to Yablock for another in the first period, later they made another for luck. Colgate 21, Indiana 6. After their first touchdown Ohio State held everything to beat Michigan 7 to 0.
In bed with a bad leg, Coach Knute Rockne told his team to start Savoldi at fullback so as to give Moon Mullins a rest. Substitute Savoldi smashed the line and skirted ends for a total of 173 yards while other Notre Damerungs, inspired, ripped Wisconsin up, 19--0.
Captain Glassgow ran 78 yards on the first play to score a touchdown which Iowa never managed to repeat and which it took Illinois all afternoon to tie, 7--7. Surprised by Oregon State's touchdown, eleven Warner-coached Stanford Cardinals got angry. Stanford 40, Oregon State 7.
While Quarterback Marsters of Dartmouth was taking brief rests on the sidelines, the game with Columbia had the air of a reunion. At other times Quarterback Marsters rushed up and down the field with the ball under his arm. Dartmouth 34, Columbia 0. Yale and Brown started a football series 50 years ago, have played 35 times. Until last week Yale had won 29 times. Little Albie Booth, whose longest run was 16 yards, kept running till he made the 30th victory. Yale 14, Brown 6.
Pitt's panthers pitapatted round Nebraska; the line poked holes, Fullback Parkinson plunged twice for touchdowns. Pittsburgh 12, Nebraska 7. Gene McEver and his teammate Hackman taxied 45 yards on short gains to ring the metre. Tennessee 6, Alabama 0.
At the end of the first half Duke led the Navy by a point; in the second Duke's tired spunky team was worn down by a Navy squad kept fresh by substitutions. Navy 45, Duke 13.
Numerous Cougars led by one Schwartz scored when they needed to most. Washington State 20, Washington 13.
In Portland, Idaho got in Oregon's cement mixer and came out smooth and moist. Idaho 7, Oregon 34.
