NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Striking
twice with long, furious touchdown
drives in the opening minutes OF
play. the Fordham Rams had little
difficulty scoring a 14-to-0 victory
over North Carolina in their inter-
sectional battle before 10000 at the
Polo Grounds today.
With big Jim Blumenstock and
Steve Filipowicz ripping the Tarheel
defense almost at will, the Rams
battered their way Al yards for their
opening score only 4 minutes after
the kickoff, Blumenstock raced %
around end for the touchdown.
The next time they got the ball
they piled u yards through the still
groggy Tarheels and racked up five
successive first downs before Filipo-
wicz fell back and fired a 16-yard
touchdown pass to Vince Dennery,
his left end. between the goal posts.
Each time substitute ran from
the Fordham bench to kick the extra
point like clockwork. From there on
the two teams merely played out the
ball game.
The Rams, as though content,
never seriously threatened again.
The visitors, fighting back hard,
collected themselves around their
star back, Jim Lalanne to put on an
extended march of IS yards in the
second quarter and reach Fordham's
5-yard line. But there they were
thrown back and they never had
another chance until the closing

dropped on the ball on the 10. The
steamed-up Cadets sent Johnny
Roberts, Mazur and then Roberts
again betting into the startled Notre
Dame line. That third try missed
first down by foot.
Here Army called time and sent
in Ted Lutryzkowski to replace Rob-
erts at quarterback. He went back
to the Is to try field goal, the
ball was DETECTED by Irish End
Johnny O'Brien, and Army's best
chance to score was washed up.
Army Threatens Four More Times
Four more times they came down
to the 10, and JuzWik,s interception;
to the IA on a 33-yard passing gain,
only to tumble and lose the ball on
the next play; to the 80, where their
passes were batted down, and to the
II in the last quarter, where two
running plays lost yards and two
passes were incomplete.
Defensively, the Irish had 1t when
it counted most. In the statistics,
it was almost all Army-16 first
downs to 4, 237 yards to 62-with
one vital exception. The Irish got
1O1 yards on runbacks of intercepted
passes, 81 of which were the ones
that paid of.

Hoyas Run Wild,
Beat Syracuse
28-6
Scrubs Yield Score
As Unbeoten String
Is Run to n Games
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Nov 2.-Strik-
ing sharply through the air and on
the ground with their first and Sec
ond string elevens, Georgetown Un-
iversity's high-riding Hoyas made
rout of an expected test here today
as they overwhelmed a fumbling,
bewildered Syracuse team, % to 6.
Georgetown put on show with

tended its streak of games without
defeat to % in a row. dating from
the start of the 1888 campaign, and
after piling up a 28-to-0 lead mid
way of the third quarter Coach Jack
Hagerty retired his first two teams
and ran in his scrubs, who appar-
emily got the idea and who were
pounding away at Syracuse's 5-yard
line as the final gun barked.
The clock, better than the sta
tistics and the score, told the story
of this game Two minutes and Is
seconds after Right Guard Augie Lilo
of Georgetown spun the ball on the
opening kickoff, the Hoyas were
ahead. 7 to 0. Five minutes and Is
seconds after the start the score was
IA to and it's was evident to the
1900 spectators at Archbold Sta
dunn that it only was question Of
the size of the final count.
Battling Is Rough.
For all of Georgetown's marked

blasted Columbia from the ranks of
the unbeaten and united week ago,
the men in orange fought doggedly
and, at times, roughly. They were
picking on somebody their size,
however, and several times it ap-
peared that the game would wind
up in free-for-all among the play
ers. At the end, though, the only
real fight of the afternoon broke
out between a couple of patrons.
Syracuse gained net total Of 179
yards, but most of these were made
through Georgetown's third-string
team, which played the final quarter
and which begrudingly yielded the
Orange touchdown. Against the
front rank Hoya lines the Syracuse
attack was bottled up while the
parade of Georgetown backs. fea-
turing Jules Koshlap, Jim Castiglia,
Lou Ghecas, Joe McFadden, Lou
Falcone and Johnny Barrett, was
brilliant to behold.
Georgetown kicked of behind a
brisk west wind and when Syracuse
failed to gain, Bunky Morris, star
punter, was forced to boot into the
face of the breeze. Ghecas ran the
ball to the Oranges AZ and, on the
Hoyas' first offensive play, Koshlap
dropped back and whipped perfect
pass to Ghecas for touchdown.

EVANSTON, H., Nov. 2.-Still
undefeated, still united. Minnesota's
Golden Avalanche roared along in
footballs empire today in quest of
the Western Conference champion
ship and national honors.
BY the margin of a single point
after touchdown, Minnesota, unable
to beat Northwestern on its home
field since 1929, finally triumphed,
IS to IL. over the hitherto undefeated
wildcats before nerve-racked
crowd of $4,000 spectators. 1t was
Minnesota's fifth straight win of the,
season.
Minnesota's victory, which left the
Gophers and Michigan the only I'M
defeated and united elevens in the
conference, was achieved by power
full rushing game. one timely pass
and the place-kicking accuracy of
Joe Mernik, whose successful try for
point after the first Gopher touch
down ultimately meant victory as
the Wildcats missed on two after
touchdown attempts.
Sweiger Is Gopher Scorer.
Led by Bob Sweiger, who scored
both Minnesota touchdowns, George
Frank and Bruce Smith, the Goph-
ers established themselves as a dan
gerous challenger for the big Ten
title by whipping valiant North
western team which never gave up
the battle until the final gun.
The final period was one Of the
most exciting battle royals witnessed
in Dyche Stadium in years. Trailing
l3 to 6, Northwestern scored touch
down on the first play of the last
period after brilliant 79-yard drive.
George Benson missed the try for
point which would have given the
Wildcats a tie, but Northwestern
gamely battled back to threaten
again only to lose its chance on a
pass interception.
Northwestern led at the end of the
first period, to 0. as the result of a
beautiful pass and 25-yard sprint
down the sidelines by Floyd Cham
bers. Taking the ball on a punt
at their own a the Wildcats smashed
to Minnesota's 43 as Ollie Hahnen-
stein slashed OF left tackle for nine
yards and Don Clawson ripped
center for six more.
Northwestern Goes Across.
Then Hahnenstein dropped back
sprinted for the sidelines and shot
an 18-yard pass to Chambers, who
caught the ball on the Gopher 25
Only Franck, the Gopher safety
man, blocked his path. Chambers
tore the goal line, shook of Franck's
frantic tackle attempt, and sped for
the touchdown unmolested. How
ever, Clawson's placement failed, the
ball sailing wide.
On the ensuing kickoff, Minnesota
reeled of a brilliant 61-yard drive
for a touchdown and a lead it held
to the finish. The Gophers started
on their own 80, with Smith picking
up yards on two plays and Sweiger
taking a lateral pass to rush the ball
to Northwestern's IS.

Superior Tigers
Baked by Rain
In 90 Draw
Crimson Blocks Try
For Field Goal, Only
Scoring Threat
BY the Associated Press.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. Q
Aided by the heavy rain, Harvard's
underdog football forces held a
hyperion Princeton team to score
less tie today before drenched
crowd of $4,000, one of the smallest
to witness big Three" gridiron
battle in Harvard Stadium.
AS the ancient rivals battled in
the mud that ruined most of sharp
shooter Dave Allerdice's passes and
put leg irons on such consistent
ground gamers as Bob Peters and
Bob jackson, the Tigers failed on
the games only scoring chance.
Late in the third period. Harvard
had punted II times and Princeton
II before Peters set the stage for
the Tigers opportunity by booting
the soggy ball 40 yards to Franny
Lee on Harvard's 5. That speedy
Crimsonite carried it back to his 20,
where he was hit so hard that he
fumbled and Bill Morris, the big
Princeton tackle, recovered.
Penalty Checks Princeton.
Then, just as the Tigers appeared
to be we'll under way, they drew a
back in motion penalty that
brought them to halt on Harvard S
5-yard line with fourth down coming
up and five more to go.
Coach Tad Wieman then rushed
in Bob Sandbach, the placement
specialist. to try to clinch the game
with a field goal.
Sandbach went back to Harvard s
IL. sighted his target in careful
fashion and then advanced toward
the slippery ball that Allerdice held
for him. He did manage to get his
right foot in it, but Burgy Ayres and
MacKinney crashed in so fast that
they blocked the ball together and
another Harvard recovered it on
its %.
The courageous Harvards did not
appear in any danger thereafter,
despite the attempt the Tigers made
during the last period.
Moral Win for Harvard.
With about eight minutes remain
ing, Princeton rushed and passed
from midfield to Harvard's %, where
Peters faxed right end sweep and
tossed to Perina on Harvard's S.
That play, however, was ruled out
because a Princeton back had been
IN illegal motion, and the next time
Peters attempted it Capt. Joe Gar
della insured his team q draw by
intercepting and running the ball
out Of dangerous territory.
This 56th renewal of this ancient
classic, which dates back to 1877,
must be considered a moral victory
for Harvard. which has yet to top a
major opponent. 1t was the fifth
tie in the series and the first score
less draw in 50 years.
