Football
A flash, a moment of gameness was all that Princetonians asked of a team which since the beginning of the season had not beaten anybody except one minor opponent. Instead, scored on by a fluke field goal in the first two minutes, Princeton somehow became for i hr., 19 min. one of the great teams of the U. S. The heroes were the linesmen, led by Mexican-born Capt. Ricardo Mestres, who broke through to drop the great Yale backs, and Quarterback Trix Bennett who played without a rest, who scored the touchdown that put Princeton ahead at the half, who failed by two inches only to get over the first down that would have meant another score and victory in the fog and rain, in the last minute of play, on Yale's five-yard line. The touchdown the Yale substitutes had made on a long pass across the goal line in the third period was still good. Yale 10, Princeton 7.
St. Mary's three touchdowns came when they were needed to beat the 12 to 0 lead of a Fordham team that had not been beaten since 1928. St. Mary's 20, Fordham 12.
Northwestern made sure of a tie for the Big Ten conference championship by running around the tired Wisconsin forwards in the last half to win, 20 to 7.
Michigan, the other team in the tie, beat Minnesota on Halfback Wheeler's run-back of a punt, 7 to 0. Michigan still has to beat the feeble Chicago team this week.
Backs Langmaid and Brown got Williams the "Little Three" title as expected. Williams 16, Amherst 13.
A big-league, beautifully drilled team from little Holy Cross, hitherto of no account, gave miserable Harvard a lesson in lateral passing and line bucking, 27 to 0.
Halfbacks Zimmerman and Glover ploughed through a Georgia team that had beaten Yale and New York University to keep Tulane in the battle for southern supremacy. Tulane 25, Georgia 0.
Washington Statesmen who could probably give Notre Dame a close play for the championship of the U. S., played conservatively against Washington, because the Pacific coast title depended on the game. End Lyle Maskell booted a field goal over in the first two minutes of play and at the end it was still Washington State 3, Washington 0.
Utah, under the guidance of Ike Armstrong, blanked Colorado 34 to 0. Thus Utah for the third consecutive time became Rocky Mountain Conference champion. Another Utah record: 21 consecutive games without defeat.
Dartmouth gained 224 yards with forward passes to beat a hard-fighting Cornell team, 19 to 13.
Alabama, still unbeaten, swept through Louisiana State as expected, 33 to 0.
