Football

When Quarterback Downs of Georgia ran back Yale's kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown, the Yale stands groaned. Could their team lose on a fluke? But there was no fluke about the Georgia march in the last period, or the passes that sailed straight into the arms of white-shirted Catfish Smith, the slippery end who beat Yale last year. Yale was the lucky side, profiting by the rarest accident in football--an airline recovery of a fumble which Barnes carried over after the ball bounced to him out of Kelly's arm* This was the lead that Georgia overcame in the last minutes of the season's most exciting game thus far. Georgia 18, Yale 14.

Dedicating a new stadium, Notre Dame's big team made the Navy look easy. Quarterback Carideo showed that he remembered all Coach Rockne's lessons, but when he really wanted to make sure of a score he gave the ball to Fullback Savoldi. Notre Dame 26, Navy 2.

Last year Brown beat Princeton by a long pass in the last period. This time Coach Roper's rearranged but undistinguished combination was outplayed all the time. The last whistle blew just in time to prevent another Brown touchdown. Brown 7, Princeton 0.

The anticipated duel of fullbacks-- Washington State's Schwartz v. Southern California's Musick--was about even, but the Cougars' line-power put them more on top than the score showed: Washington 7, Southern California 6.

It took Pennsylvania a whole period to get going against Virginia, but after that her famed backfield (Gentle, Masters, Greene, Gette) was sent in. Their plunges, reverse plays and lateral passes had the inevitable result. Pennsylvania 40, Virginia 6.

Georgia Tech's Golden Tornado petered out against the hard-running members of Carnegie Tech's pony backfield. Carnegie Tech 31, Georgia Tech 0.

Little St. Mary's gave California a terrible scare that would have been a beating if Substitute End Avery had not caught a long pass and fallen across the goal-line with it in the fourth period. California 7, St. Mary's 6.

Purdue's Conference champions could not solve the trick play Michigan used to get out of trouble. Michigan 14, Purdue 13.

Tury Oman and John Schneller substituted for each other at fullback and gained enough ground between them to have won two games. Wisconsin 34, Chicago 0.

Captain Hank Bruder of Northwestern was in the infirmary with smallpox. Lee Hanley and Pug Rentner filled his shoes adequately against nervy but inexperienced Ohio Statesmen. Northwestern 19, Ohio State 2.

In an experimental mood, Maj. Ralph Sasse, new Army coach, used his second, third and fourth teams, and players whose names could be found in no line-up at all, to beat Swarthmore 39 to 0.

Battered at the start, Oklahoma got its speed working and the slow but heavy Cornhuskers could not think what to do. Oklahoma 20, Nebraska 7.

Much better than they were a week ago, when Vanderbilt beat them, Minnesota's fast Gophers held Stanford to a 0-0 tie.

*A fumble that touches the ground cannot be run with by a player of the opposing team, but a fumble clearly caught before it grounds is still in play.
