Most of the Mchi gan players just out of high school yet they came out for the second half, trailing, Ol4 and staged 60-yard march to touchdown through what just may be the greatest Army team of all time.

  The dwindling list of unbeaten major football teams will get an other pruning next Saturday. when such undefeated powers as Ohio State and Purdue and Alabama and Tennessee clash in conference COM petition. Only 81 of the gridiron great have unmarried records today, after sew eral shockers last week end saw Cornell, Tulane, Southern Califormia, Texas A. and M, Florida and Washington State go down to defeat for the first time. Princeton defeated Cornell, 1916; Rice beat Tulane, 1877; San Diego Naval, which was beaten several weeks ago by U. C. L. A., walloped Southern California, 1876; Louisiana State conquered Texas A. and M. 31-l2; Vanderbilt blanked Florida, TO, and Washington subdIed Washington State, 60. Penn State also suffered It’s first licking, but the Nittany Lions weren’t hoping to do anything but hold Nays score down. The Mid dies, minus the services of the in jured Clyde Scott and Bob Jenkins looked far from impressive in their $50 conquest. Navy’s attack begged down at crucial moments and SIM liar lapses might prove fatal Saturday night against Georgia Tech, which surprised them last year. Big Elevens Roll Along. Army, Notre Dame, Ohio State Minnesota. Alabama, Indiana and Texas – among the top-ranking teams their all-conquering ways. The Cadets were given rousing tussle by Michigan’s Wolverines with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis proving the difference in the 28–⁠7 count. Blanchard made two touchdownS, one on a 68-yard dash, and was a tower of strength on the defense Davis contributed a 10 yard scoring sprint.

  UNDEFEATED GRID ROSTER PARED TO zf MAJOR SQUADS Navy Team Unimpressive Against Penn State- Army Powerful Only 21 Of the Gridiron Great have unmarred records today after several shockers last week end saw Cornell, Tulane, Southern California, Texas A. & M, Florida and Washing ten State go down to defeat for the first time. Penn State also suffered it’s first licking, but the Nittany Lions were not hoping to do anything but hold Navy’s score down. The Middles, minus the services of the injured Clyde Scott and Bob Jenkins, looked far from impressive in their 28–⁠0 conquest. Navy’s attack begged down at crucial moments and similar lapses might prove fatal Saturday night against Georgia Tech, which surprised them last year. Army, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Minnesota, Indiana and Texas among the top-ranking teams-con- tinued their all-conquering ways. The Cadets were given rousing tussle by Michigans Wolverines, with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Da- wis proving the difference in the 28–⁠7 count. Blanchard made two touch- downs, one on a 68-yard dash, and was a tower of strength on the de- fense Davis contributed 70-yard scoring sprint. Notre Dame threw in 50 players in an effort to hold the score down to $40 against Dartmouth and prob- ably will dc the same next Saturday against the clawless Pitt Panthers who lost another, to Michigan State, 12–⁠7.
