  TODAY’S SPORT PARADE New York, Oct. 21--CUP)-Mondays grid-iFonies: Notre Dame used 81 players in scoring 81 points against Carnegie Tech and the nation is wondering who the six culprits are who couldn’t get their one point -. apparently the Irish squad is so good that Elmer Lay den could take vacation and let Pat O’Brien, with or without make up, coach for the rest of the season. Jock Sutherland must have laughed and the alumni wept as Pittsburgh’s pure as snow” team was whaled by Fordham in a snow storm =. the Magicians’ uion has demanded that Clark Sliaughnessy take out a card and pay dues for what he has done with d Stanford team that battled brilliant GOO in the Pacific Coast Conference last year -. The Indians successive VIC tories over Santa Clara and Wash ington State indicates they’ll have something to say about the land scape gardening in the Rose Bowl, come Jan. 80. Ohio State did everything a great football team should do-except win-Ain the game with Minnesota =. This is a COM mon failing with the Buckeyes, whose trophy room is decorated with more moral victories than even an elephant among the Alumni could remember. 1t had been whispered that Ala bama was good thing” to lick Tennessee, but Johnny Butler spoiled this whispering campaign with one Of his own 49,. Cornell looked so good in beating Syracuse that Coach Carl Snavely was said to have smiled twice during the game, thus using up his smile al lotment for the entire season All Snavely has left for between now and the end of November is one chuckle. QudFterDack Sny Georgia must have left Athens in a hurry for New York and the Col umbia game because the Bulldogs forgot to bring along quarterback -. They had some fellows they called quarterbacks, all right but none Of the $4,000 spectators who saw Columbia win, 10 to 10, was fooled 49,. Georgia had the talent to Lick the outmanned New Workers but wasted it like Dortohy Lamour in a Raccoon coat -. a successful defense of the southeastern confer ence title is as tough las defending the Alamo, but the Texas Aggies are likely to do it They knocked off T. @. U. 81 to Z. and mighty John Kimbrough wasn’t even cali ed on to smash for touchdown :. The Aggies employed him as a passer, which is like using a steam roller to press a pair of pants. Revenge is sweet and the Mich igan Wolverines have q sweet tooth -. Inundated by Illinois in the biggest upset of the season last year, Michigan, with Tom Harmon yield ing honors to Bob Westfall, took the Illinois apart to see what didn’t make them tick ;. Westfall gained 1877 more yards than all of Bob zuppke’s men put together ~. A Crowd of $4,000 saw Yale beat Dart mouth, which proves that loyalty is not dead in this country =. Harward and Army fought to a 6–⁠6 tie, thus giving lie to those critics who prophesied that the Army and Harvard teams of this year couldn’t score against squad of pullman conductors playing a three-man line. Frank Reagan beat Princeton, As to % in the greatest one-man show since John Barrymore came of age ~. The Pennsylvania star who’ll duel with Harmon at Ann Arbor next week, scored five touchdowns, passed for another, and kicked an extra point -. Bill De Correvont whose light was hid under a bushel Of press clippings last year, continued his great play Of 1910 to spark Northwestern to a win over WiSconSin’s badgered Badgers !. # De Correvont hadn’t kept a scrapbook he probably would have been All-Americai by now.
