Football

The greatest backs in contemporary football met at New Haven. Yale's little Albie Booth kicked a field goal, gained 268 yards. Dartmouth's Marsters bridged the field in four passes for one score, threw his big lean body twice through the line and once round end for another, but gained only 94 yards and dropped the ball that gave Yale one of its two freak touchdowns. Hot and hurt (ankle) he left the field early. Booth stayed in, a constant threat, but it was a spry-sprinting substitute called "Hoot" Ellis who made the 80-yard dash that won the game. Yale 16, Dartmouth 12.

California's Gill and Lorn surprised 78,000 witnesses by beating Southern California's lunging Trojans with two touchdowns and a safety. California 15, U. S. C. 7

Beside doing most of the punting and passing. Fullback Bergherm carried the ball 26 times in 51 plays for a total gain of 91 yards to beat Illinois for the first time in 17 years. Northwestern 7, Illinois 0.

Indianamen who had sworn not to shave till their team had won a game went home bristling after eleven Minnesota Gophers in gold & maroon jerseys had spent an afternoon putting simple but energetic plays through Indiana's defense. Minnesota 19, Indiana 7.

Between the halves Coach Alonzo Stagg said something to his son, Quarterback Paul Stagg. When the Chicago team came out for the third period it moved smoothly down the field for one touchdown, then raced widely for another. Top-heavy Tigers obeyed as well as they could Coach Roper's furious "Get-the-hell-in-there-and-fight!" Chicago 15, Princeton 7.

After an hour of hard old-fashioned football. Harvard's discouraged plungers, still sore from their beating by Dartmouth, had beaten the Florida Alligators who had beaten Georgia who had beaten Yale. Harvard 14, Florida 0.

The difference between Penn State's mustang speed and Syracuse's buffalo line was only a touchdown and a pair of safeties. Penn State 6, Syracuse 4.

Good interference got Penn a touchdown and good defense made it count against a Navy team that missed most of its opportunities. Penn 7, Navy 2.

Helped by ten other muddy fellows, Halfback Octavius Uansa veered through Ohio State in the rain. Pittsburgh 18, Ohio State 2.

Columbia got the ball somewhere at the last minute, but a conference of officials in the adjacent clubhouse decided that it was not over the line. Cornell 12, Columbia 6.

Twice Quarterback David Myers, brainy team-chief of New York University, fumbled at bad times playing against Georgetown. Watchers suspected that Myers was upset by a situation not connected with this game, in which Georgetown scored two touchdowns to 0 for N. Y. U.

This week N. Y. U. plays Georgia. Last time N. Y. U. played a southern team (West Virginia Wesleyan), David Myers, who is a Negro, sat on the bench "with a cold." When Coach Meehan admitted he had agreed not to play Myers against Georgia, N. Y. U. students promised to boycott the game. Thereupon Meehan announced that Myers would play. Myers said: "If I felt I wasn't wanted in the game I wouldn't get any fun out of it."

When Notre Dame scouts, in violation of agreement, were caught watching Georgia Tech, it looked bad until Coach Rockne wired that whatever the scouts told would be forgotten. Later Notre Dame's Jack Elder (he once outsprinted Olympic Sprinter Percy Williams) and triple-threat Carideo showed that they did not need to know about Georgia Tech, 26-6.

Army's second and third team could not score but Cagle went over twice later on, with Messinger and Murrel shortly following. Army 33, South Dakota 6.

An outclassed Washington team fought spunkily through the first period, then tired. Carnegie Tech 19, Washington 0.

Purdue's rampaging Boilermakers forward-passed a little nearer to the Big Ten Championship. Purdue 13, Wisconsin 0.

When Clair Sloan got in, Nebraska won back the touchdown they had spotted Kansas. Before long Dutch Witte twisted 36 yd. for another. Nebraska 12, Kansas 6.
