~ ALIAS. Tex, November s.
Texas Christian University,

defense of its Southern Conference foot
ball crown.
Although they have two conference
victories. the Frogs will face what prom
ises to be their first serious test when
they engage the Rice Institute Owls
Saturday at Houston. The Owls, fresh
from victories over the Texas Long
horns and Sewanee Tigers on successive
week ends, are calculated to prove con-
clusiyely whether the Frogs, Cy Leland

Baylor enjoyed a "breather" in trim
ming the Oklahoma Baptists, 81 to 0,

A third conference tilt will be played
here, with nothing in particular at

THE SPORTLICHT
BY CRANTLAND RICE.

After the game several Yale for
wards said they had more trouble
against the Army forwards than they
had against Dartnouth's big. fast line.
This last game was a battle of two
strong lines and neither would bend or
break in the scoring zone.
The passing was not brilliant on
either side, as there were too many wild
heaves thrown to open spaces. but
Dartmouth did the better job in this
respect. Both teams were strong, but
they were on attack.
The Sectional Status.
WITH the debris swept aside there
w are now several changes in sec
tional rankings. In the East, only
Fordham and Western Maryland are
pattering along the unmarked road.
Notre Dame, Northwestern and Mar
quette remain united and unbeaten in
the Midwest. Washington State and
Oregon lead along the West Coast, and
Alabama stepped in front of Georgia
down South, with Tulane still ~uribeaten
by any Southern team.
Georgia's inability to score on Flor
ida was something Of a shock. Not
that Florida was rated as an easy
mark, but the Georgia attack was sup
posed to carry enough dynamite to
crash through almost any defense for
at least one touchdown.
AS 1t Is, Alabama is now in front Of
Dixie's gridiron legions with victories
over Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Ken
lucky in a row. This is about as neat
an achievement as any team has Of
fered this year, no matter what the
sector 1t is full proof of we'll rounded
strength, for the three teams mentioned
have lost only to Alabama, a squad
with a big, fast charging line and q
fleet, hard running set of backs.
New York Back.
Tor a long time New York City has
l. been somewhat spotty in it's foot
ball strength. With Fordham and
Columbia winning. N. Y. us victory
over q strong Carnegie Tech team Is
proof enough that one city now has
three teams along the higher levels of
play. Carnegie Tech had lost to Notre
Dame, but a team can be beaten 80
to 0 by Notre Dame and still be first
class Rockne's squad hasn't been even
tested yet in one of the hardest sched-
ules Of many years.
But from now on Notre Dame has
Pennsylvania Northwestern, Army and
Southern California, and 1t may be a
question as to how long the South
Bend delegation can retain its keen
edge. There doesn't seem to be a
chance just now that any rival on the
road can stop it. But who figured Will
liam and Mary to tie Harvard, Colum-
bia to beat Cornell, Texas to run away
from Southern Methodist, Florida to
hold Georgia ScorelesS?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-11-03

came through with flying colors, far
better than anybody expected. Both
won by such decisive scores that no one
can doubt their potential as well as
shown strength. Clemson simply was
overwhelmed and Kentucky almost as
badly beaten. This leaves the Ten
ssee-Vanderbilt game on November
is still to loom as great contest.
About the only snag that now seems
to stand in the way of Alabama and the
Southern Conference championship is
Georgia, and Georgia was held to
0-to-0 tie by Florida. However 0-to-0
tie by Florida does not indicate weak
ness on the part of Georgia, as much
as it does strength for Florida. Two of
the other games that were among old
rivals in the South resulted in ties,
Georgia Tech and North Carolina bat
ting to 6-to-6 deadlock and Wash
ington and Lee struggling through a
game with Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute without score for either side.
nOSSIBLY for the first time in foot
L ball, Harvard, Princeton and Yale
all engaged in tie games. The
Crimson's tie with william and Mary
already has been mentioned, but again
Dartmouth, with possibly a stronger
team, was unable to take the measure
of Yale, while Princeton battled with
Chicago to a scoreless draw. 1t is not
often that Yale and Princeton on the
same Saturday afternoon go through
their games without either making a
peint.
WHATEVER Kansas may have &C
w complished In the way of foot
ball in the Middle West, it GER
tainly did not seem to worry Pennsyl-
vania a whole lot. The Quakers wound
up with the long end of the count
standing 81 to 6. Columbia's victory
over Cornell must have been as mama
to the Gothamites and also must have
besn rather a bitter dose for Dobie's
eleven. It was the first victory Column
bia has won n two or three years over
a major opponent. Pittsburgh's journey
out to the Middle West was productive
of a O-to-0 tie with Nebraska and
Brown got a tie with Syracuse and had
to score Is points to do so. Browns
record with Syracuse is somewhat like
that of Dartmouth against Yale. New
York University took its game from
Carnegie Tech, while Penn State went
down to another defeat, this time at
the hands Of Bucknell.
IN the Southwest the most remarkable
i showing was made by the University
Of Texas in defeating Southern
Methodist by four touchdowns to one.
When 1t is considered that Southern
Methodist played Notre Dame to q
standstill and was barely nosed out at
the last minute, something of the
strength Of the Texas team may be
gagged.
NORTHWESTERN seems to be the
~ strongest team In the Western
Conference, and its game with
Notre Dame probably will be one Of the
big contests of the year. Incidentally,
there seems to be considerable feeling
on the part of some people out that
way that Northwestern has q chance
against the South Benders.

The Best Turn.
w WIEN you check back over the
M weeks contribution to foot
" ball history, the best turn
of a busy afternoon must
be awarded to Columbia University.
Two weeks ago Lou Little's Lions left
Hanover with practically no hide left
upon their foot ball systems. Two
weeks later, a team beaten So to O..
comes back to beat a strong Cornell
team that had been unbeaten up to
this point.
Here was a comeback Of extraordi-
nary character. It was led by Hewitt,
one Of the best backs in foot ball, but
1t had to be accompanied by the skill
and undaunted spirit of the entire
squad. For Cornell Is stror g this year
and 1t took good foot ball team to
overpower the invaders from Ithaca,
who made the mistake of letting Colum-
bia get the first and the vital jump.
AS Tom Shevlin once said, Most foot
ball games are won and lost in the
first 3Bgconds Of play"
Next to Columbia's stand, the second
best award must go to William and
Mary for what happened on Harvard's
playground.
Fordham's ability to 60 unbeaten
through another hard test, still pre-
serving an uncrossed goal line, was
another high-class contribution, for the
list of the united and the unbeaten
is now thinner than the segment of
a toy balloon.
Dartmouth, Cornell, Kentucky, De-
troit University, Clemson, Kansas and
Georgia we're among those to be tied
or beaten where up-to-date their states
had bsen unmarked.
Dartm0uth's Team.
THE tide can swing in savage fashion
l. from one Saturday to another in
this modern foot ball swirl. Dart
mouth came to New Haven with a
powerful line and fast, hard running
set Of backs. But Yale again proved
that the winner must have q set Of
forwards to establish superiority over
the other set. Dartmouth was never
able to rip up, push back or dismantle
that Yale line, which has been improv-
ing steadily from week to week.
Loeser, Linehan, Hare, Vincent and
Wilbur were a complete match for
Andreas, Bromberg, Hoffman, Crehan
and Barber. And the slashing defensive
play of Parker, Crowley and other
Blue backs was q trifle more than the
Green assault could break through.
Albie Booth proved that he could 60
the full go minutes against a big, fast
team, but Dartmouth had him watched
too carefully most of the way, although
Booth was the busiest wasp Of the
afternoon.
