At College

Princeton and Yale played the 56th game of the oldest major series in U. S. football (started in 1873) on a chilly, grey afternoon in Palmer Stadium. For two periods, both teams were too cautious. In the third period. Princeton twice had first down inside the Yale loyd. line. Both times the Yale line held. A long pass, Lassiter to O'Connell, brought Yale back to midfield; four more plays brought the ball to the Princeton 8-yd. line and on the second play of the last quarter Lassiter smashed across for Yale's touchdown. Curtin kicked the extra point.

Now it looked as though Princeton, with a far better team than last year's, would have almost as poor a record. Kadlic of Princeton began to throw the kind of desperate passes that quarterbacks always try at the end of close games; McPartland caught one on Yale's loyd. line but he started to run the wrong way and a moment later Yale had taken the ball on downs again, on its own 3-yd. line. It was almost incredible that when McPartland caught another pass from Kadlic a moment later he should again run toward his own goal. Nonetheless, McPartland did it, for a few steps, till he was tackled on Yale's 20-yd. line. This time, his mistake was not important: the next play was another pass, Kadlic to Fairman, which made a touchdown. Peter Fortune kicked the goal. With five minutes left, there was just time for the blunder or the brilliant play that usually decides Princeton-Yale games. Neither one occurred and the score was still tied, 7 to 7, when the game ended.

Notre Dame thrashed Northwestern 21 to 0. On the first kickoff, George Melinkovich made the longest run of the week, 98 yd. for a touchdown. Added misfortune for Northwestern was what happened to its amiable, hard-plunging halfback. Ernest ("Pug") Rentner; he broke a rib in the first quarter, found out about it at the half. McGuire of Wisconsin caught the kick-off and scuttled 85 yd. to a touchdown. Minnesota tied the score. Wisconsin got -another touchdown. Minnesota matched it.

McGuire caught a short pass from Linfor. made the last touchdown of the day for Wisconsin, 20 to 13.

Southern California eased along its way to another U. S. championship by swamping Oregon (which beat Santa Clara which beat California), 33 to 0.

Amherst Alumnus Calvin Coolidge went to see Amherst and Williams play their 50th game, looked mildly pleased when Amherst won the game and the "Little Three'--" championship, 31 to 7.

Pitt and Nebraska, which played scoreless ties in 1928 and 1930, played another, in which Nebraska made 13 first downs to 7.

Colgate's "Red Raiders of Chenango" (because they wear maroon trousers) rattled off their eighth straight game of the season, 16 to 0, against Syracuse.

Lantern-jawed Harry Newman, who customarily throws passes for the touchdowns that are likely to make Michigan this year's Western Conference champion, ran 70 yd. for one and 28 for the other that settled Chicago, 12 to 0, at Ann Arbor.

Columbia lost its first game this year, 7 to 6, to Brown.

While Tennessee and Vanderbilt played a scoreless tie at Nashville. Auburn, only undefeated, untied team in the South, came a step closer to a Southern Conference championship by piling up two touchdowns in the first quarter, another in the last, against Florida, 21 to 6.
