Coach Rockne's phlebitis (congested legs) grew worse and kept him at home, but the 34 members of his big squad switched places in the game as if he had been there, scored three touchdowns in the second period, another in the third, to bag Northwestern's Wildcats, 26 to 6.

It was Yale's fourth down on Harvard's 17-yard line when Albie Booth, still limping slightly from a muscle bruise, ran out from the bench. The wild crowd quieted --would he run or kick? When Douglas blocked a low wavering boot that got nowhere, Mays' and Devens' juggernaut spurts made a Harvard touchdown possible. Then Douglas blocked another of Booth's kicks and Barry Wood slanted over a field goal. Once Booth nearly got away but Bill Ticknor pulled him down by the back of his sweater. Harvard 10, Yale 6. Unhappy sequel: Victor Harding Jr., of Hubbard Woods, Ill., Harvard end, complained of fierce stomach pains after a scrimmage in the third quarter. His spleen was ruptured, had to be removed.*

Glenn Warner's Cardinals hit the stride that made them look like champions early in the season. They used a pretty new lateral pass spun out of a cross-buck in which five men handled the ball. Substitute Moffatt and Halfback Frentrup did most of Stanford's scoring. Unexpectedly defensive, California's Lorn kept punting out of danger. He passed to Thornton for one touchdown but needed more than that. Stanford 21, California 6.

Wertz and Franz of Ohio Wesleyan, with a good line giving them time to get away, kept the Army's second stringers grunting on the Army goal-line for two periods. Cagle and Murrell had to stretch themselves when they got in. Army's 19 to 6 was really closer.

Lafayette had beaten Lehigh ten years in a row, but this time a substitute center named Ayre got through and blocked the Lafayette kicks. Lehigh 13, Lafayette 12.

Pest Welch and the rest of the great Purdue backfield rollicked through Indiana's line to win a 32 to o game that Purdue did not need to make sure of the Big Ten championship.

Captain Jessup of Washington toughened up with Captain Kelly of Chicago in the same lead-silver mine in Idaho last summer. Kelly dug the pay-dirt when they met in moleskins. Eighteen completed Maroon passes gained 305 yards, Chicago 26, Washington 6.

Cawthon and Steele were eventually poison to a nervy South Carolina team that lacked a line. Florida 20, South Carolina 7.

At Manhattan, Kans., Nebraska's Cornhuskers, minus Clair Sloan, their backfield tractor, won the Big Six Conference title from Kansas Aggies 10 to 6.

Racehorse Russell Saunders, Punter Duffield and other Southern Californians plugged through a light Idaho team for the extraordinary score of 72 to o. Southern California's season point total reached 373.

The year's first snow stimulated numerous midshipmen. Navy 30, West Va. Wesleyan 6.

Iowa looked a shade better than Michigan but could not prove it. Neither scored.

Bronko Nagurski finished his football career with two touchdowns, and Pharmer made the place kick which won the game. Minnesota 13, Wisconsin 12.

Frosty Peters and the other Illini chinned themselves into second place in the Big Ten by taking Ohio State 27 to o.

*The spleen is a ductless lymphatic-like gland touching the top of the left kidney. It manufactures white blood cells and, when necessary, red blood cells. Its removal does not cause serious consequences.
