never gave up, but never had real
chance.
Upward of 10000 persons saw the
crucial conference game.
After the opening minutes OF the
game. when Missouri drove to Ne
braska,s 1-yard line and pass failed,
Nebraska's crushing offensive ram took
effect, and the Tigers succumbed with
out another serious threat.
Checkmated in every attempt to gain
at the line, the MiSSourianS finally took
to the air with the pass threat that has
brought them nationwide prominence
in recent years.
But the CornhuSkerS were the mas
tiers, intercepting or blocking nearly
every one of the first half dozen passes
thrown.
Missouri's passing attack in the final
stages of the game began functlonlng.
but by that time the Cornhusker back
field was smashing the Tiger line into
shreds and plunging along to steadily
mounting score.
1t was thes breaks of the game that
paved the way for Nebraska's first
touchdown. Mehrle, MiSsouri's backfield
ace, fumbled, and Ashburn recovered
on the 30-yard line. Russell cracked
the line for yards, and Blue Howell
slid off tackle for the remaining dis
tance
The second period was scoreless, but
Sloane and Howell combined in pro-
ducing scores in the third. A fine
drop kick from the 30-yard line by
Sloane added three points. and bit
later Howell dashed % yards through
a broken field for a touchdown.
Near the end of the game Sloane,
after counting 40 yards on two end
runs, passed to Zrahm for the final
touchdown.

ball and DaShing Dave calmly sent 1t
on its way. It was straight as ball
could go, but was perilously low and al
most grazed the crossbar as 1t shot by

Ed Wittmer Princeton'S plunging
back who has been out of the game
with injuries, was rushed in the game
late in the third period. possibly to sup
ply knockout punch to his fellows
who had been boxing Cornell. Cornell
had been sparring also and although
the final moments developed harder
hitting the contest went to the end
without a real punch getting in. Each
seemed satisfied to win on points rather
than by knockout.
Wittmer ran we'll at times and in the
final period got as far as Cornell'S 90
yard line, where he was stopped by a
penalty.
Cornell made a belated rally and
completed two passes in row but
Scott, substitute, fumbled and Law
Ter recovered for the Tigers.
Wittmer had a great chance to score
a touchdown when he intercepted a
pass and ran to Cornell's 30-yard line,
but the Ithacans charged in on the
Princeton backs before they could get
started on the next two plays and q
pass failed on fourth down.
Cornell made one final gesture just
before the final whistle sounded, Scott
tossing pass to Kanich for 15-yard
gain. The next one grounded after
travelling third the length of the field

more could be done about 1t.
Both captains were injured, Howe

leaving the game in the final period.

Taking Paul Sculls boot on her own
43-yard line, Joe Clifton smashed
through to Penn's 46-yard line before
Cannon tossed a perfect pass to Moret
on the end. Without person near, the
wingman trotted over the goal. Gan
mons kick was blocked.
Although Olexy, Penn end, picked uI
a tumble, ran so yards over the goal
and was called back in that same period

when Penn's trick hidden-ball attack
suddenly took effect, and, coupled with
Sculps mastery punting, drove Navy
steadily back. But with the ball on her
7-yard line Navy held for downs.
Burke Is Forced Out.
There Navy lost Eddie Burke. her
captain and left guard, a crushing fig
ure on defense. Burke would not leave
the field when hurt, and it took COM
blned efforts of Coach Bill Ingram and
the trainers to lure him away. With
"Blimp" Bostrom, giant tackle, who
kicked an average of SO yards, Burke
was Navy's particular hero.
Although Penn gained eight first
downs to Navy's six, her forward
passing attack was a liability Four of
the six passes that failed were inter-
cepted and nine completed counted only
48 yards. One of the three Navy tried
was intercepted, another caught by an
ineligible man, and the third scored a

PITTSBURGH, Pa, october GA
27-yard forward pass by Capt. Howard
Harpster paved the way for 6-to-0
victory by Carnegie Tech over the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh before $4,000 fans
in the rain here today.
Prior to this toss, the Plaid had been
on the defense most of the time, while
the underdog Panther was fighting
every minute.
The long pass was perfectly executed
and landed in the arms of Rosenczweig.
The toss placed the ball on the 2-yard
line and KarciS hit right tackle for a
yard, but failed to gain on second
try. HarpSter then went through CEN
ter for the single touchdown of the
fray.
The victory gave Carnegie the city
championship.
Tech made two sustained marches
in the game, the one that brought the
touchdown and one from its own 49,
yard line to the enemy'S % just before
the end of the second period At all
other times, the Pitt offensive was
superior to that of the Skibo. Tech
was strong defensively when its goal
line was threatened.
Pitt made 13 downs against IL for
Carnegie.
Glenn Moorehead, fleet Carnegie
half back, was injured in breaking
down forward pass in the first quar-
ter and it was feared today that his
collar bone had been broken. He was
carried from the field unconscious.

PHILADELPHIA, October 27.-A
- foot ball giant haraSSed, humili-
ated, whipped in three out oi
l. four starts, was reborn today in
the heat of one of the seasons
greatest gridiron battles.
Turning on its latest tormentor, Navy
whipped the undefeated and hitherto
unscored upon Pennsylvania eleven,
to 0, while 10000 persons, flooding
Franklin Field, ripped the crisp Fall air
with their cheers and groans.
It took fully an hour to persuade the
regiment of Midshipmen that Franklin
Field and its environs should not be
taken with them back to Annapolis, and
the band had to play "The Star
Spangled Banner" twice to save the
goalposts before assembly stopped the
merrymaking. Every Penn rooter who
wanted Midshipman cap to atone for
the defeat was accommodated in the
rough and tumble Scrimmages all over
the field.
Navy Is Unawed.
The Navy today was totally unawed
by Pennsylvania's impressive record of
straight victories from the seasons start.
The Middies went out to rip PennS
massive line to pieces, smother such
mighty offensive aces as Paul Scull,
Paul Murphy and Dick Gentle, and
smash the vaunted Red and Blue at
tack once and for all when Penn finally
reached Navy's 7-yard line.
There was something majestic in the
battle Of these Navy underdogs, picked
before the season opened as one of the
country'S greatest elevens. From their
ranks rose new heroes for the MILDLY
regiment and monumental satisfaction
to the team that bowed to Davis Elkins,
Boston College and Notre Dame in the
first three games of the Fall.
Navy's touchdown came in the Sec
ond period, and was made on one of
the three passes Navy threw all day.
