State got the Frank "Buek" O'NeilI
jump on Alabama and scored
three touchdowns in the first half.
Digging in then, the victors de-
Tended their lead in heroic style.
1t was the first defeat for Ala
bama since Fordham beat the
Tide in New York by a safety in
1888. But of all the defeats that
ever fell on Alabama, this was
the least expected.
The fact that Howard had
damned the Tide in the opening
game of the season on September
% was laughed off when 'Bama
came to Washington and tore
George : s.Shington'S Colonials
hoof from hide. Mississippi State
made no concessions and won.
1t was States first victory over
Alabama since 1914.
This is Major Sasse's first bea-
son at Mississippi State. He took
command this spring and after a
brief period of spring practice, an
nounced that the outlook was far
from dismal. This statement fol-
lowing the "a season when State
finished second in most of it's OBJ
jective games, and absorbed a Al.
too licking from Alabama, con-
vinced many of the folks that
Major Sasse was "teched in the
haid."
TOday'S Hero
Well, today he's a hero down
there, and new prestige attaches
to Army football. Capt. Johnny
Stokes, former line coach at West
Point. is down there with Sasse,
and the two have turned out a
fine eleven that plays slashing
football of the Warner type.
One of Mississippi States touch
downs came o.. a forward pass
off a feint at a reverse. and the
other came on a reverse. Pickle,
left halfback, ran through the
line on a feint at a reverse with
a spinner development.
Leaving Alabama to recover
from the weight Of Mississippi
stars that missed the storied
fields of white but scored a direct
hit on the Tides neck, we pass
to other games.
One Of the greatest games ever
seen in this Lector Of the country
resulted in Yale victory over
Pennsylvania. It was the first
visit of a Yale team to Phila-
delphia since 1889, and the Blue
Bulldog will be remembered for
a long time.
Drama at Heights
Here was a game in which
drama reached its heights. Penn
led in the second period 20 to 6,
and the sole doubt attached to
the ultimate score. Everybody but
the Yale players sonceded the
game. Penn, however, seems to
lack the stamina to carry through
four 15-minute periods of major
football. Against Princeton, the
Red and Blue was best for three
periods, and against Yale it was
the same story. But football is
four periods.
Yale, using the Notre Dame
system of attack twice pulled the
famous short side reverse Of the
Rollicking Romans to ride to
glory. clinton Frank ran 40 yards
for touchdown off PENIS right
tackle when the Blue power was
massed on the other side. Albert
HeSSberg slid around Penn's right
end behind the same sort of block
ing that made Christy Flanagan'S
runs against Army possible, and
scored.
In these two touchdown strikes
from deep down the field, the
runner was carried into the clear
by smashing blocking which cut
down the line supports and wings.
Once in the clear the runners
dashed to the side lines and had
the foot to outrun the safety men.
These runs, thrilling climax efforts
that they were, produced a
triumph for team that is well
coached as a unit and equipped
with weapons that get results.
Princeton men may find that the
victory of the Blue last year, sur
prising though it was, certainly
was not a fluke.
Only One Slip
The mighty men Of Minnesota
are on the way once more. The
Gophers got past the first test OF
the season, turning back the fly
ing HuskerS of Nebraska with a
touchdown to spare. Minnesota
checked the mighty Lloyd Card
we'll, but did not do so well in the
matter of stopping Jerry La Noue.
This yougster slipped through the
middle of the line on quick open
ing play and ran 80 yards before
the Gopher defense awoke. Not
hand touched him.
Aside from that one slip, the
Gophers were alert and alive to
every situation. They served no
tice on the national school that
they are going to take bit of a
beating before anyone is credited
with the mythical championship
