BY the Associated Press. ~ HILADELPHIA, November 2o.- - The West took another foot ball game from the East today when the powerful Drake University eleven overwhelmed Temple University here, 40 to 20. The Missouri Valley champions from Des Moines completely outplayed the Philadelphia foot ball toters throughout the game with the exception Of the final period. when the Western team, playing MANY substitutes, was scored on twice. Drake. however, scored an equal number of points in this quarter. The weather was very cold, and the crowd numbered only between 1000 ana 5000. The weather affected both teams, fumbles being frequent. with Temple the worst offender. Passing Is Effective. Drake played varied game. Her forward passing was of high order, and her running attack was very effective against Temple, which has shown good defensive work in previous games. Capt. Lynn King and Chuck van Koten shared the scoring nonoIs 1or Drake, each making three touchdowns, and King adding an extra point on a placement-kick to his total. I. Sieberling scored brakes other touchdown. Swede Hansen, the Temple wheelhorse, was the star of Temples attack, making two touchdowns and drop-kicking an extra point.

Army and Dartmouth. both undefeated Tn their own section were the two east ern leaders to go down. Army bowed to Notre Dame and Dartmouth to Stanford. Notre Danes victory stamped the Irish as real champions, for champions, in any field of sport. pay no attention to the weather. The frozen turf of Soldiers field was not best suited to Notre Danes fast and shifty attack, but the Irish went ahead and played their game. The other three eastern losers Villanova, Temple and Georgetown were not leaders in their sections, but they were representatives Of thls side of the country. Nillanova was defeated by Washington State Is to 0. Temple fell 49 to 20 before Drake, land Georgetown was a l2 to 0 loser to Detroit. Of the three, Nillanova deserves the most credit. Outweighed ten or IS pounds to the man, and opposed by the best team on the Pacific coast, the Philadelphians waged a gallant battle. On more than one oc- casion. the light Villanova line. deep in it’s own territory, repulsed the big coast eleven.
