  NOTRE DAME WINS ARMY GAME, 13–⁠7 Harding’s 20 Yard Scam per Prevents Shutont GATORS DEFEAT WAKE FOREST Howard Falls Before Auburn Attack-SOuthern Loses To Soldiers The mighty elevens of the conferences of che nation have given up their toys and have taken to playmates of a more vicious temperament, conse-1 quently they found themselves treading on precarious ground. Such conditions brought about the usual upsets in the trend of scoring over the country, i, but for the south the defeat Of the powerful Vanderbilt eleven, hailed as the giant of the Southern Conference, by Tulane, 21 to 13, at New Or leans, was the shock of the day. The Greenies completely outclassed the highly-touted McGugin machine, as they knocked it cold in it’s race to retain the southern champion ship. In the east the Big Three struggled through a chaotic day. Harvard had a. difficult time beating Holy Cross. F to 6. while the best the Yale Bulldog could do vas to tie Dartmouth, l4–⁠1A, Hays,l ever. the showing of the Bulldog in the face of the Dartmouth team was about as good as any of the three, for Prince ton had, to rush in q substitute drop. kicker to boot the field goal in the last few minutes of play, which won from the Navy, IT to IA. Rides The Mule Knute ROckne sent his Irish eleven from Notre Dame in to ride the Army Mule and the Irishmen promptly did so, 13 to ‘. The Army counter came when their little quarterback. Harding; scampered through congested field for 20 yards to goal. In the southern conference, Georgia Tech probably made the best showing by taking Penn States Nittany Lions into their training camp and educating them to be peaceful circus performerss The score 15 to 13 and was too close for comfortable observation by those allied to Tech. It was Williams educated toe which turned the trick with timely field goal. The Alabama–Sewanee struggle in Birmingham ran about true to form with the Crimsons beating their pur- pie opponents from the Tennessee noun. tains, IA to 0, and the other major Ala bama institution, Auburn, also did its chore as predicted by walloping How ard college, 17 to O. Gators Clean Up : The Florida Alligators suddenly lo0med high and bright as the results of Saturdays contests came simmering in for the Gators walloped the Wake, Forest Deacons, 34 to o, at Tampa. The Deacons had previously defeated Washington and Lee and North Caro- lima university and Van Fleets eleven showed nnIooked4for power in rolling up their. large score. Vanderbilt’s de- feat leaves the fiel dto the Gators, Tech, Alabama and Georgia in the champion ship race. $ Washington and Lee is still in the running by a slight margin, despite their loss to Wake Forest, a non-con- ference eleven, for the Generals downed the Kentucky Wildcats, 10 to 2, there by putting the Cats out of the flag chase. Red Grange Takes A Run In the western conference, Red” Grange the terror of the federation, continued his outrageous pummeling of <. opponents as he dashed four times down the field for touchdowns in helping Hi nois roll up a 39-to-14 score against the strong Michigan team. Grange, the sensation of the gridiron world last year., playing at halfback, ran the fifst kickoff of the game back 99 yards for a touchdown and thereafter raced 65, 55 and 50 yards, respectively, in scoring his other three goals. Georgia did the expected in beating Furman, 23 to 0, three points more than Alabama defeated the Purple Hurricane two weeks ago and the exact score by which Mercer defeated them last week. Centre encountered a weak foe in Tran sylvania, winning 42 to 0, while fhe strong Carson Newman team was stopped by Tennessee, 13 to O. Birmingham-S failed to check the racing feet of Smythe and the Camp Benning soldiers walloped the Panth- CTS, Al to 6! Mississippi A. & M. did their job to golden brown in beating the Mississippi university eleven, 20 to 0, in their annual classic. Louisiana State university, coached by Mike Don- ahue, defeated the Rice institute, with Heisman and his shift. G to 0.
