In Philadelphia, trying to stretch the second-best current winning streak in the U. S. to 13 games in a row, Princeton got past Pennsylvania's 10-yd. line five times, past its goal-line never. Penn's touchdown, on Quarterback Lew Elverson's 57-yd. run before the game was ten minutes old, made the score the same as that of Princeton's last defeat--by Yale in 1934--7-to-0.

When his father was head coach at Southern Methodist, young Jack Morrison refused to enroll there, said "I want to make good on my own." At Vanderbilt, he made the freshman team. Last year, when Morrison Senior went to Vanderbilt to coach, young Jack switched to Southern Methodist. Last week, benched by an ankle broken in the Fordham game the week before, young Morrison watched Southern Methodist beat Vanderbilt, 16-to-0.

Ohio State got a touchdown in the first quarter. Northwestern got one in the second. Ohio State got another in the third. Northwestern got another in the fourth. After the last, a seesaw battle between two of the best teams in the country and Ohio State's hopes for another Big Ten championship ended simultaneously when Don Geyer's conversion made the final score 14-to-13 for Northwestern.

On the same football field for the first time since the season of 1924 when both were in Notre Dame's backfield, Coaches Elmer Layden of Notre Dame and Harry Stuhldreher of Wisconsin watched Notre Dame win the first game ever played between teams coached by onetime members of the famed "Four Horsemen," 27-to-0.

Before the South's biggest big game. Duke and Georgia Tech were both unbeaten and unscored on. When it was over, 19-to-6, Duke was still unbeaten, a favorite for the Southern Conference title.

Advancing a fumbled ball by kicking it counts only when accidental. Defined as accidental was the kick that Yale's Captain Larry Kelley gave a fumbled punt which put Yale on Navy's 3-yd. line, in position to win, 12-to-7.

The little brown jug, traditional prize for the victors of Michigan v. Minnesota football games, went to Minnesota's big, blond juggernaut, for its 20th successive victory, 26-to-0.

Coached by 29-year-old Lowell Dawson, who learned football under Minnesota's Coach Bernie Bierman, Tulane's Green Wave drowned Colgate, 28-to-6.

"A wet ball, a slippery field and no Davie Davis," ruefully explained Coach Howard Jones of Southern California, mourning the loss of his dynamic little quarterback, out with a torn rib cartilage in the first quarter. Coach Jones did not explain weak passing, bad kicking, silly generalship, as a defensive Washington State team played his would-be champions to a 0-to-0 standstill.

In action less than half the game. Army's amazing 145-lb. Halfback Charles ("Monkey") Meyer found time to make two touchdowns in the 32-to-0 debacle that marked Harvard football's 1936 low.

Pitt, pointing for the Rose Bowl, was upset 7-to-0 when little Duquesne's substitute halfback, George Matsik, got loose around right end, ran 72 yd. for a touchdown.
