BROWN U. OUTPLAYS
HOLY CROSS, 10 TO 0
Rhode Island Forwards Save Game
by Covering Fumbles in Hard
Battle in Rain.
BY the Associated Press.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., October 25-
Brown outplayed and outSkidded an
optimistic Holy Cross foot ball team
here today to win 13-to-0 victory. The
game was played in a driving rain, but
the slippery ball affected only the Holy
Cross offensive. The Brown forwards
were alert for fumbles and more than
once the covering Of the ball by a
Brown jersey pulled the Bruin out OF
danger
Both teams played hard, rugged foot
ball and Holy Cross had numerous sub
situations. Capt Jack McEwan reported
that several of his players had been
seriously hurt as the result of falls on
the slippery turf. There were no major
penalties, however, and the play was
clean
Both teams resorted to punting in
the first period, with Brown having the
advantage and forcing the play deep
into Purple territory. Brown worked
the ball to the Holy Cross 29-yard line.
There Harris passed to Gilmartin and
the latter dashed % yards for a score.
Harris missed the kick
Periods two and three were scoreless.
In the final quarter Rotellif Brown full
back, went into action and ripped ON
four first downs, Holy Cross stiffened
and took the ball on downs. Rotelli
recovered the ball when Baker fumbled
on being tackled. The next play he
threw a fiat pass to CURL who dashed

Bewilders Hoosiers by Scoring at

Tricky Play.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PRESS.
DALLAS, October 25.-A big red
team from Indiana University received
a crushing introduction to Southwestern
Conference foot ball before $4,000 fans
in Fair Park bowl here today.
Scored on in the opening seconds Of
play, and bewildered by q passing at
tack, the HooSieIs went down before
Southern Methodist University's clock
like eleven q to 0.
Charlie Hearon, chunky little half
back chilled the invaders on the open
ing play Of the game, when he received
the kickoff on his own l0-yard stripe
and ran 80 yards for touchdown. A
wave of interference got him by the
first Indiana tacklers, after which he
weaved over to the sideline and
scudded across the goal without being
touched
After that there was never a doubt
of the result. Calling on their tricky
passing game, the Methodists scored
again before the period ended and then
added additional markers in the second
and third quarters on lengthy heaveS
from Dilbert TO Long and KoontZ.
They were deprived of three more
touchdOwns only because of a staunch
defense thrown up by the Hoosiers in
side their 10-yard line.
While the Mustangs, using two COM
plete teams, were piling up 10 first
downs on a wide assortment of plays,
Indiana could manage only eight.
The visitors made their only real
scoring threat in the second period,
when a series of runs by Ross and
Hoover and a toss from Ross to Bru-
baker carried to the Methodists' 13-yard
line. They failed of score only be-
cause Brubaker was unable to hold q
pass from Ross across the goal line.
Outside of the one gesture, the Hoosiers
spent the afternoon in their own terri
tory, trying to ward off their opponents
thruSts.
Hearon, sophomore and a last
minute substitute, in addition to his
opening sprint, turned in another 40
yard sweep around end.
The Mustang backs had every oppor-
tunity to demonstrate their tricky Of
Tense. as their line outplayed the

ANNAPOLIS, Md, October 25.-
Seldom has an athletic victory
brought more Joy to Naval people
than did the defeat of the Tigers at
Princeton today by the overwhelm-
ing score Of 81 to 0.
While local friends Of the Navy
team felt that it had chance to
win today, no one dreamed Of a VIC
tory by such a large margin, and
the triumph is hailed as a real
comeback, carrying with 1t the
chance Of redeeming the season
after a poor start.
Not only is the victory today by
far larger score than the Navy has
ever before defeated Princeton but,
according to the records here. It is
by a larger figure than Princeton
ever won from the Academy.
The Navy plays West Virginia
