  n YEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Propelled nj by the accurate toe of gangling u Hayward Sanford. Alabama’s unbeaten eleven lands plumb in the middle of the most muddled Rose Bowl situation in years. Young Mr.. Sanford booted a field goal for the Alabam’ boys yesterday to beat Vanderbilt, and the harried gen. tlemen who must pick the outland representative called for another gross OF aspirin. If Pitt beats Duke and Fordham does the same to New York University tomorrow there will be three major claimants. The 9-to-7 triumph admits Alabama into the charmed circle, but Duke stands in the way of Pitt. The Blue Devils are no small obstacle. They are tough on attack and “up” for the game. Fordham on the other hand has a small obstacle, DR.. Stevens Violet operatives being noted more for clever ness than size, but the obstacle was just as small year ago and the Fordhams haven’t got over that rs defeat yet All this Is all very important to the teams that hope to be tapped for the Rose Bowl society, but the biggest crowd Of the day will congreRate at Philadelphia for the Army–Navy meet ing. Here, despite sorry seasons for the service teams, brass hats and pleebes and dowagers and debutantes will gather to the number of lO3 600 There will be music, singing, cheering. general dancing in the streets and-as Is the custom of the series-a better than average football game. Cornell’s Rally Tells. HE stirring events at Nashville YES terday can’t quite eclipse the equally uproarious events at Philadelphia. There Cornell and Pennsylvania closed the “Ivy” League season with a burst Of offensive football that brought a 34-to-2O score with the Cornells on top and $1,000 fans in various stages Of hysteria. Cornell old faithfuls are sure YOU need look no farther than Tompkins County. N. Y, for the next ivy” champion. Stymied by Penn’s cool gambling with the forward pass and tied. 1920, at the start Of the fourth period, the big Red broke loose to score two touchdowns with an awesome display Of overland power. These two games stood out on a Thanksgiving Day program that was far cry from the old days of q dozen or more turkey classics. Duquesne provided some excitement by tripping Detroit, and Brown proved the wisdom of substitution by downing Rutgers. 7 to 6. on 95-yard run back OF the kickon by Frank Foster. For the Bruins, after a series of beatings by Colgate on turkey day, there was real cause for thanksgiving. Marylands Terrapins trimmed Washington and Lee, 8 to 0, to leave the Southern Conference champion ship well up in the stratosphere. North Carolina, strong claimant for the title, ran all over Virginia. an old and once powerful enemy, 40 to o, In a game with no bearing on the conference standing. Marylands conference record shows two victories in as many starts, while the Tarheels have won four and tied one in conference competition. Glenn son had q hand in the title pot until it was tied by Furman, 90, yesterday. Missouri Springs Upset. ELSEWHERE in the South, Tennes- see downed Kentucky, 13 to o, and Mississippi State edged out Mississippi, 9 to Z.
