Football

Already beaten by Purdue, Illinois and Ohio State, Michigan was stimulated by "Beat Harvard" signs that have been up on its campus for several weeks. Harvard's light team gained through the giant maize line and completed 15 out of 25 passes but could not kick goals after touchdowns. Michigan 14, Harvard 12.

After flying to the coast in eight planes, Nevada's lean Wolves did well against Southern California for a period, not so well for another period, then folded up, U. S. C. 66, Nevada 0.

Stanford's huge Quarterback Herb Fleischhacker and his friends, unrecognizable in mud, smeared a punt, crossbucked and plunged to a first down. Then Fleischhacker sent Fullback Smalling around left end for the only score. Stanford 6, Washington 0.

Unbeaten, Stanford plays California next week for the Pacific Coast Championship.

The Governors of Illinois and Kansas and several generals saw Illinois turn the weak Army flank to grab Murrel's passes and spill Cagle's interference. When the Army seemed hottest Murrel aimed a short semilateral pass at Cagle. The stands screamed as an Illinois shape named Wolgast jumped between. Murrel chased him for 80 yards but missed his heels in a wild dive at the goal line. Illinois 17, Army 7.

Iowa has always been the rough spot in Minnesota's schedule. In their new stadium they spoiled once more the Gopher's chance for a Conference Championship. Iowa 9, Minnesota 7.

New York University said it had never thought of keeping flashy Quarterback Myers, a Negro, out of the game with Georgia (TIME, Nov. 11). It was explained by a reliable doctor that Myers did not play because he had "damaged severely the acromio-clavicular ligaments of his left shoulder." When Paris of Georgia forward-passed.in the second half for two scores N. Y. U. rooters held up a sign, "We Want Myers." But Myers was not even on the bench. N. Y. U. 27. Georgia 19.

Yale could not regard Maryland as easy after what happened last year (Maryland 6, Yale 0), but never did the Elis show so clearly what a one-man team they are this year. With a lead of 13, shifty little Albie Booth sat down to rest. Maryland promptly tied the score, was set to win when the whistle blew. Yale 13, Maryland 13.

Big Russ Bergherm and Squatty Moore were motes in Ohio State's unlucky buckeye. Northwestern 18, Ohio State 6.

Scheffer, Leonard, Abernathy and "Well I" Askew kept the ball on Georgia Tech's ground most of the time. Vanderbilt 23, Georgia Tech 7.

Mr. & Mrs. Herbert Hoover spent Saturday afternoon watching a tough Georgetown quarterback named Johnny Scalzi do the running and throw most of the passes that held the Navy to a scoreless tie.

Coach Roper gave his backs their first interference of the season by moving 200-lb. guard Sam ("Bruise") Levine to fullback. Wittmer scored all touchdowns. Princeton 20, Lehigh 0.

President John Martin Thomas roguishly assured his Rutgers undergraduates gathered at a "pep meeting" on the football field that he would not carry his gold-headed cane to church until they had beaten Lafayette. Backs Tellier and Wilcox kept the cane in Prexy's closet. Lafayette 20, Rutgers 6.

Cornell's red steamroller flattened Western Reserve. 36-0.

Outplayed by the Princeton-conquering Chicagoans, Wisconsin amazingly climbed out of the Conference cellar by turning three breaks into three touchdowns. Wisconsin 20, Chicago 6.

In a game full of socks, yells, penalties, injuries, Penn State took Penn, 19-7.

California's second-and third-string Bears got 21, then the first team came in for a workout. California 53, Montana 18.

Alabama's Tony Molm and Flash Suther chalked 24 to 13 on Kentucky's clean slate.

When Al Marsters suffered what looked to spectators like a twisted ankle in his Yale game, he had really hurt his back, was out for the season. Copying his injured friend's high-kneeing stride. Bill Morton showed that there is more than one way to get a bear by the tail. Dartmouth 13, Brown 6.
