 Three teams in Rose Bowl aspir- .tioris were biased from the unbeat- m. united ranks last week. The size if the score in each case was the urorising thing about the collapse ] f this hitherto unbeaten trio. North ,arclina, Dixie's lone unbeaten en. ", was routed by Duke, 26-0. Mar uette succumbed to Temple, 26-6. syracuse was crushed by Colgate, f7-O.
 One of last weeks most start- Ing results was Army's 6-6 tie with Jotre Ds me, in game which the 'Jadets very well might have won nut for an interference penalty on Q onward pass which gave the Irish he ball on the soldiers 2-yard line n the last 30 seconds of play. The ,enalty was called on Whitey Grove, Arny halfback who scored his cams touchdown, by Field Judge A. V. Palmer of Colby. Many of the rowd of e0,000, largest of the east rn football season, thought Grove vas well within the rules. Bill Crow ey. umpire of the game dispels much of the doubt about the deci- ion by his description of the play which few observers in the stands were in g position to see.
