    It was Jack White, Of Prince ton, who went into the game at Palmer Stadium on Saturday with Princeton trailing Penn by a touchdown, and literally tore the Red and Blue line to shreds. He scored a touchdown that eli NAKED a march of 70 yards. He held the ball while Sandbach kicked the point that won the game. Close to $4,000 spectators were on hand for the renewal of foot ball relations between Penn and the Tigers, and to introduce the sordid subject of money, which no graduate manager would en-. tertain for a moment, $4,000 spec tators pay lot Of money in at the gate. There’s another sophomore back who commanded a lot of attention on Saturday. This is a kid named Clinton Frank at Yale. He ran and slid through the New Hampshire line in fine style. Yale used the Notre Dame at tack, almost in its entirety, and prospered real well. The Notre Dame short slide plays fooled New H ampshrie completely. Looks as if the Bulldog might come into it’s own this year. There was a sardonic note in the statement that Cornell continued along the beaten path” on Saturday when it bowed to Western Reserve. AS a matter of fact, students of football in Ohio are predicting important developments at Reserve this fall. The team is grounded in Ohio football as taught by the late Sam Whitman. Last year Ohio State was the only college to beat Reserve. Nebraska, which opened its season by trouncing Chicago, carried on and rolled up the score against Iowa State. The Huskers won by a score of 20 to 7. Under the coach ing of Dana x. Bible, Nebraska plays ultra modern football. They run all over the field, and every man is ready to take a backward or lateral pass whenever made. Lou Little’S Columbia Lions were pressed to the limit to defeat Virginia Military Academy by a margin of two touchdowns. Half a dozen times the Virginia eleven was within scoring distance, but were turned back by Columbias stalwart defense. Talking Of reverses and all that sort of thing, we come to a con-

Like all young quarter backs he has showed poor Judgment at times, but smart football players profit by those mistakes. Midway!-Great day we’re at tn, half of the season, and the locall are trailing miserably. Swept com pletely in the tide of the merciles! Melrose onslaught they suffered , so to o whipping-just as a begin ner. The next game saw them a their best during the first Of tn, seasons play. They stood toe to towith Albany and slugged to til with the final tally at 6 all. A Alexandria-even in the face Of { 20 to o defeat-the Streeters look ed pretty fair at times in the sec ond half. The development Of theil passing looked good on that even ing. Against Foley a temporary laxity allowed three Foley score! and found us trailing behind I! to z score. Total points for oppon ents are 95, for the locals 13. Tomorrow, the locals 60 to Long Prairie where on the lat ter’s grid they play the Todd eleven. This Is the first game In the second half of the sched- ule and will be followed by two home games, with Starbuck on the 18th, and GlenwOod on the 25th. World Champs! That’s the De troit Tigers piloted by Mickey Cochrane. They won their fourth game to complete the Series or Tuesday. For the first time Detroit came through to a flying finish ir a Series match. Drawing it out te a six game affair, the Cubs and the Tigers displayed some of the best baseball in years. Double plays, al least one in every game, smashing home runs, and hits galore, shut out pitching, and beautiful fielding and a few misteps characterized the play. General Crowder, of the Tigers lifted his jinx when he wor his ball game on Saturday. The General had never won or even finished a Series game. Last year the Cardinals blasted him out OF the lot, and the year preceding the Giants took him to task. Schoolboy Rowe took his game, and Lor Warneke stands as the ace of Cub hurlers, pitching shut-out ball un. til he threw his shoulder out in Sundays game. The opener the Cubs took home, but dropped the next three games in an onslaught of Detroit hits. On Sunday the Cubs prolonged the agony with win and on Monday acknowledgements to end the Series,-came out on tor with a last inning run to win 4–⁠3 It was a great Series-and those youngster Cubs, many Of them under rs, are destined to make base. ball history in next seasons race Scrambles-Even the second week of the Big Ten schedules die not straighten out the upsets Of the first week.

Minnesota on Saturday will have their hands full of cornhusks when they meet Nebraska at Lin coin. Nebraska handed one to Iowa State 20 to 7. Look at the scoring power Of Iowa. They trampled over the Coyotes of South Dakota with a final standing Of Al to 2. Purdue and Northwestern handed in the best game when Purdue nudged out in front with to victory The Gophers will meet the Corn. huskers the underdogs. Basking In the mellow sunshine of their re, cent tripping up of Chicago, Ne, braska is licking its chops in antic, ipation of a Gopher stew. Despite the shrouds being cast concerning the outcome of the ’35 Gophers by the fearful Mister Bierman, the great Minnesota team is not merely local fantasia. To be sure JUNE Alphonse’s ineligibility is a blow but to definitely know that ne Is out is a boon Instead of make shifting awaiting his return, the team can really go to work in reg ular positions. There’s a lot of grit in these Gophers and what’s more the Cornhuskers can be husked!
