  Tim” Moynihan cracked a leg in the Northwestern game, which was q break for the Army; because. while Moynihan with one leg Is better than the average CEN ter with two, the chances are that both he and Rockne will be absent from the Notre Dame-Arlny fray and will have to sit with in jured limb extended, brows contracted and ears tuned to the dulcet voice of Graham McNamee radioing one Of his quiet and technical descriptions of a foot ball contest. Purdue is the unquestioned champion Of the Western Conference, with a great backfield and q fine line. II anybody knows which is the best team on the Pacific Coast it is not I. Southern California beat Stanford, Cali ifornia beat Southern California and Stanford beat California. To innocent bystanders in the East 1t looks as If, at its peak.

In the game at Cambride, the difference between the teams was Barry Wood at top form and Albie Booth at so per cent efficiency. The score was 10 to 6. Wood kicked a goal after touchdown and dropped a goal from the field at a difdcult angle Yale was badly fooled on two passes. The first was the lateral, on which the fieet-footed Mays made 80 yards. The Yale end came in. according to inStructions, and developed the play by making Devens throw the bail, but the Yale secondary defense, which should have picked up Mays, was caught flat-footed and out of position. Still that wouldn’t have been damage beyond repair except for the second pass. It was the fourth down, on the Yale 10-yard mark; when Wood dropped back in punt formation. Harvard had five yards to gain. The ball was too far to the side Of the field for much hope of success with a drop-kick All the conditions indicated pass. Wood to the 3-yard line. That meant q first down and, as it proved, Harvards touchdown. Harvard’s goal from the field. brilliant performance, came after Douglas had blocked Booths punt Yale’S touch down resulted from Woods punt, block ed by F1rpc Greene, and Booths for ward pass to Ellis, who ran over two Crimson taeklers and took another with him over the goal line, Ellis Travelled like q human shell.
