  makes for a spectacular ball game, and it is only good when it work. On this occasion it worked. OF greater interest, think, is that Yale has won its last four major games. Going back to last season Yale came up from nowhere with a scrambled and much criticised coaching staff to beat Princeton and Harvard. This year Yale has sue cessively beaten Pennsylvania and Navy. This is something more than a fair record for young Ducky Pond and his associates. Pooh on Those Critics IT is also a swift kick in the pants for the sideline critics-including old Pere-who clamored so bolster ously for the appointment of Harry Kipke or Earl Blaik as the answer to what made the old Blues so blue. If Yale doesn’t win another game I think Mr.. Farmer deserves at least a low dignified bow from the lett wing. and l do not mean the left wing back. Notre Dame beats Pittsburgh. This is one Pere quarter Back missed But he has no kick coming. On Sec ond thought he has. Notre Dame won because it had a kicker. Pitts burgh lost because it didn’t have kicker. The score was 9–⁠6. A field goal decided it. With but three minutes to play and the score tied at Gall young 200-pounder by the name of Peters toed a placement over from the % yard line. It’s All in the Game And yet football is football, kick ing Is kicking and if you’ve got man who can score for you with his toe you’ve got a very deadly weapon. Notre Dame had that kind OF weapon, Pittsburgh didn’t, Admittedly Notre Dame beat formidable opponent, but l hope the followers OF the South BenderS do not start out Immediately claiming a national championship for them. This would be very unfair to young Elmer Layden the coach, who still must gear his team for Navy, Ohio State and Army, any one of which is liable to prove very annoying, Personally l think Layden has come far with the assorted Irish and if he gets no farther there should be no complaints.
