Football

On a field frozen hard as a state road eleven West Pointers in gold sweaters played all afternoon without a substitution against a Notre Dame team that has the finest record in the U. S. Time and again Army tacklers broke through to down shifty Moon Mullins and Sprinter Jack Elder. In the second quarter Elder, on his four-yard line, got to an Army pass. Instead of knocking it down and covering receivers, in the fashion proper for goal-line defenders, he caught it, raced 96 yards for the only touchdown of the game. Notre Dame 7, Army 0. Brainy, hard running, hard kicking Carideo's punts were sometimes blocked but his generalship vindicated the judgment of critics who had already made him their choice for All-American quarterback. Once "All-American" meant the personal opinion of the late great Walter Camp. Now each U. S. newspaper has its Camp, its All-American team. Notre Dame's big schedule of games in many parts of the U. S. gave numerous critics a chance to see the Carideo work. Quarterback Saunders of Southern California caught the third period kick-off and went back 22 yards. Then he signaled the ball to himself until the Trojans had one score, squirmed and passed for another, and with three tacklers hanging on him in the last period took a kick to where his side could use it. Southern California 27, Washington State 7. Half a dozen admirals and the entire corps of Annapolis midshipmen saw the Navy line dam Dartmouth and the Navy backfield use a short forward pass--Gannon to Kirn--to upset the odds, 13-6. Cornell's off-tackle smash had Penn in trouble, but not long. Gentle and Masters threw passes to each other like basketball forwards. Masters and Stevens punted 65 yards with the wind and 40 against it. Gentle fumbled the ball on his 2 yard line, picked it up again 2 yards back of his goal line and did not stop for 102 yards. Pennsylvania 17, Cornell 7.

The knowledge that Tulane was the only unbeaten and untied team in the Southern Conference made the Louisiana statesmen overeager. Profiting by penalties, tall Captain Billy Banker and his green wave worked in their usual style. Tulane 21, Louisiana State 0.

After being scored on by a long pass, Grubbs and Green of Texas Christian marched as to war against Southern Methodist. The 7-7 tie was enough to make the Christians champions of the southwest on their record. Utah's Rocky Mountaineers, winners in their conference, finished a perfect season by tumbling the Utah Aggies, 26-7. Nebraska--Big Six champions though tied by Missouri and Oklahoma--trounced eleven Iowa Statesmen made wild but not dangerous by six beatings in a row. Nebraska 31, Iowa State 12. Georgia's little bulldogs put on the snarl they wore for Yale at the start of the season. Nice passes and a fake end run made them 12, Alabama 0. Kicks were the important thing in weather that made fingers too stiff to catch passes. Stevens's leg was a shade stronger than Joyce's. Syracuse 6. Columbia 0. By beating Muhlenberg 7-0, Western Maryland became the U. S. team that has won the most (ten), though not the hardest games. Sticking to straight football, West Virginia veered round and thumped past Washington & Jefferson in a snowstorm, 6 to 0. Watched by a bored crowd too cold to cheer, Colgate's backs spun out swift variations of a reverse play that Brown could never understand. Colgate 32, Brown 0.
