  Whizzer VNYgA0 e 0 Q BY Lt.e hSSOClkleQ fIeSS. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Duke’s Blue Devils, the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University and the gray-clad Cadets of the United States Military Academy battled through the last big Saturday of the 1888 football season to greater grid iron fame today. Duke completed an undefeated, united and unscored-on season with rather surprising 7-to-0 conquest of Pittsburgh, one of the East’s strongest teams. before a Southern record crowd of $4,000. T. c. U. finished a perfect season in the tough Southwest Conference by routing Southern Methodist, its only challenger for the conference title, 20 to 7. The seasons largest crowd, 102 900 in the Philadelphia Municipal Sta dium, saw Army wipe out those two defeats that marred an ordinary season by whipping Navy. IA to Z, in the 39th game of the colorful service rivalry. Cadet Comeback Remarkable. The Cadets staged remarkable comeback to score their winning touchdown on an uninterrupted 81 yard march in the third quarter after Navy had pushed them all over the frozen field to tie the score at TT in the first. A 79-yard run back of a punt by Charles (Huey) Long brought the first Army score. Dukes Eric (the Red) Upton virtually kicked Pitt into defeat with booming puntS that set the Panthers back toward their goal line, but 1t was Willard Perdue who finished the job of making it a perfect season. He blocked a punt and recovered it for the only touch down that made the Blue Devils likely nominees for an invitation to play in the Rose Bowl New Years day. Texas Christian also got in line for bowl bid, probably the Cot ton Bowl, by overpowering s. M. U. Connie Sparks blasted the Mustang line and Davey O’Brien tossed troublesome passes behind the big Horned Frog line and it was all over before the Methodists could score on blocked kick in the last quarter. One other team, Texas Tech, rang up the 10th victory of an undefeated, united season by whipping Mar quette 81 to 2. Oklahoma’s Soon ers, who have one more game to play, rang up their 18th straight victory and their ninth this season by beating Oklahoma A. and NJ, 1910. Boston College, twice tied, met its first defeat of the season when Holy Cross, paced by Bullet Bill Osmanski and Ronnie Cahill, smashed its way to a 29–⁠7 victory in a renewal of one of the East’s old rivalries. Fordham picked up a little glory by whipping its Bronz rival, New York University, $50. Mississippi earned a chance to claim some of Tennessee’s honors in the Southeastern Conference by trimming Mississippi State 1876. Ole Miss plays Tennessee next week and could earn approximately equal status by upsetting the unbeaten Vols.
