But the Cardinals contributed their

however, and outside Of actually scor-
ing he did not fail his followers.
Shepherd Nearly Whole Show.
THIS versatile back frequently men
toned as being Of all-America
caliber, was a show In himself.
He did all of Western Marylands
kicking and did 1t well, too. He threw
all of Western Maryland's passes and
nearly half the heaves reached their
marks. And he carried the ball in
three-fourths of Western Maryland's
running plays for a total gain OF los
yards.
Popping out from spinners and re-
verse plays. this greatest of the Green
Terrors had the Cardinals bewildered
between the 2o-yard lines. He gained
when he ran wide, he gained when
he cut in for thrusts outside the
tackles and he gained when he drove
into the center of the Catholic for
ward wall.
But near goal Shepherd never was
able TO shake OF the Cardinal de-
tenders with his slithery, dodging
tactics. They not only checked his
advances several times, but even
nailed him for losses occasionally
when backed against their final line.
As Catholics defense performed
over most Of the field it appeared
the home team believed western
Maryland to have nothing more be-
hind the line than Shepherd. They
concentrated their efforts on stopping
this great toter to such an extent

)HAMPAIGN, ILL.,, November ),
In a corral drenched with

in mud and water, Illinois
added the Army mule with a touch
down handicap in the first five min
utes Of battle today and then rode
him over a spectacular finish to hang
on for a 7-to-0 victory before Al 1000
soaked spectators.
The Illini won with great foot ball,
but never will they forget their ride
for life in the closing minutes Of
play when the mule kicked back even
with its famous Jack Buckler rele-
gated to the sidelines by injuries. The
final mulish kick sent the Illini reel
ing to their own 5-yard line, but they
finally got their second wind and
lashed the mule back to square their
four-game series with Army and re-
main standing among the ranks OF

The ball was in the air for "a

scrimmage, but Leemans was more
than 10 yards back of the line when
he pulled the trigger. The play. it's
said, was dug from an old bag of
tricks used by PoSsum Jim Pixlee
when the Colonial coach was grid
tutor at Westminster College, Mo.
But Leemans had some unhappy

IN THE longest heave recorded on

years, the Colonials retaliated in
the third quarter but failed on the
vital kick for seventh point.
Dixon and Tuffy Lemans, standing
out far above all others on the field,
made the game virtually an individual
duel. 1t was Dixon who fired the
pass to Willie Geny, an end, that
scored for Vanderbilt; Dixon, whose
soaring punts pulled the Commodores
out Of hole after hole: Dixon who
lugged the oval for most of Vandy's
pinch gains.
And it was Leemans who passed,
kicked and ran for nearly all the ad-
vantages accruing to George Wash

toppd off by throw that won nearly
all the ground from the Colonials' Al
yard line to the Vanderbilt goal, on

~ AMBRIDGE, Mass, November
3.-Princeton came back TO
Y 4 the foot ball wars with Har-
ward today after a lapse Of
eight years and celebrated the end of
an historic gridiron feud by whipping
the gallant, but powerless Crimson
team, 10 to o.
For three periods, Harvard's cour-
ageous and Unexpectedly effective de-
fense checked the hood-tide Of Prince
ton power and thrilled a crowd Of
IS 1000, one of the smallest that has
seen these old rivals meet in 80 years.
For three-quarters Of the game, this
stubborn Crimson team held the
hurley sons of old Nassau to single
touchdown, turning back no less than
eight other menacing marches, but
the weary sons of John Harvard
weakened and were swamped IN the
final period.
The steadily applied pressure Of
Prncetons steam roller attack, COM
bining an aerial barrage with smash
ing line plays brown down Harvard's
resistance and produced two touch
downs in the last quarter.
Princeton Wastes Power.
DEPPER CONSTABLE. Gil Lea and
Paul Pauk lugged the ball across
Harvard's goal line for touch
downs, but the final score by no
means indicated the difference In Of
fensive power between the two teams.
There was not the slightest surprise
in outcome, but the Tigers wasted
enough power to have captured a
half dozen games. Where Harvard
only once so much as advanced a
step into Princeton territory and
registered only four first downs all
afternoon, the battling Bengals ad-
vanced the ball over 400 yards by
various methods and rolled up 18
first downs.
The outcome marked Princeton's
fifth straight victory Of the 1884
season. Picking up where they left
off in 1925 with a savagely- fought
victory that was followed by an
abrupt end in relations between the
two universities, the Tigers made 1t
four straight over the Crimson, which
has not scored a touchdown against
| old Nassau since 1920.
