  Grid Cleanings Two of the easiest jobs In college football at the moment are those filled by Joseph Cahill of West Point and John T. Cox of Annapolis, the two gentlemen who supply press, radio and television with information in support of Army and Navy athletic teams. Both the Cadets and the Middies are in seclusion at present, prepairing for their annual football classic at Philadelphia Nov. n. And the promotion necessary to build up interest in that game matches the encouragement need ed by your favorite nephew to accept a chocolate soda. Most of the Army–Navy clashes have been thrillers. But this one is a natural. The Cadets and Mid shipmen have been building up for it all season with look of may hem in their eyes when they met mutual opponents. Dartmouth, Penn, Duke and CO. lumbia were the unfortunates with Columbia and Penn the most recent victims. Army Dashed Columbia 67–⁠12 earlier and last Saturday Navy mauled the Lions 51-6-rolling up ground net of SIP yards and a 629-yard total offense. Both were Navy records. Penn, meanwhile, was blanked $50 by Army last weekend after an earlier 526 pasting by Navy. And Dartmouth lost to Army COS and Navy 42–⁠7 while Duke col lapsed before the Cadets 2s,14 before Navy steamrollered the Blue Devils 42–⁠7. An almost forgotten scoring weapon, the safety, provided the margin of Minnesota’s 22–⁠20 vic tory over Iowa despite the explosive power of the Gophers’ Bob Mcnamara and Iowa’s Eddie Vim cent and Earl Smith. Mcnamara scored twice, on runs on 36 and SO yards; Vincent rambled 62 to set up a I’d and Smith ran 81 yards on a punt return that was nullified by a penalty. There was contrast in the Texas Texas Christian game, too. The Southwest Conference contest in cluded five touchdown plays which ranged in length from Sc to II yards. Yet the touchdown that gave Texas 1884 victory was scored on a S-yard plunge. Alan (The Horse) Ameche. hob bled by leg injury, appeared in WisconSin’s starting lineup against Northwestern but was around for just seven plays. II was the first time Ameche, the Badgers pile driving fullback, didn’t carry the ball in his college career. Just the week before. he had established a four-year NCAA rushing record.
