Thrice Beaten tulane
Defeats Rice Owls 1876

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1S.-R-
Thrice-beaten Tulane finally found
the combination today in a ragged
but thrilling exhibition of power,
fumbles and penalties to defeat the
hitherto u~nscored-on Rice Owls, Is
to g., before $4,000 spectators.
Rugged James Thibaut, strictly a
New Orleans product, put the Green
Wave into the lead 60 in the final
seconds of the second quarter with
a slanting 27-yard field goal from
placement. Cheered by being ahead
for the first time since the Sugar
Bowl game last season, Tulane went
to jick UP another touchdown in the
third. ~.
The game was an almost endless
procession of fumbles, costly penal
ties, and intercepted passes in which
both the hard fighting elevens
shared almost equally.
A Tulane tumble gave Rice It's
only touchdown. Lou Thomas drop
ped the ball and Marvin Dewoody
scoopedsit up on Tulane's "a, from
where Joe Price reeled off IA, and
Bob Brumley lugged it on across
in three tries.

Powerful Cornell Rolls
Over Syracuse Team 1876

ITHACA, N. Y, Oct. 19.-R-
Cornell, growing more powerful
and deceptive with each passing
week, rolled right over a fair SYRIA
cuse team, SO to 6, today, despite
everything Coach Carl Snavely
could do toward holding the score
in bounds.
AS a full dress rehearsal for
Cornell's big tussle here with Ohio
State next week, it was a very i'm
pressive show for the $4,000 who
shivered in the first real cold day
of the season.. The nations No. l
team, by vote, scored almost at
will when it took the notion, mostly
on the long, spectacular plays that
have characterized it for two sea-
sons.
Four of Cornells touchdowns
were scored on passes, three of
them from far out on the grass,
while Bill Murphy broke and ran
A yards for the other.
Hal cCullough's brilliant pass
ing, the def ball handling of his
several receivers, and the desper-
ate running of Mort Landsberg,
Cornell's 170-pound fullback, all
combined to make the winners at
tack a thing of fire and beauty.
Eugene Schmidt, substitute SYRIA
cuse center, suffered a broken leg
in a hard pile-up in the final pc
riod. l

SOUTHPORT, Oct. 10 - Cold
weather during the middle of the
week brought reports of great num-
bers of ducks on the river and tidal
creeks. 1t is unusual for the birds
to appear on the lower North Caro-
lima coast until we'll into Novem-
Der. In fact, North Carolina hunt
ers have been critical of the duck
hunting season being extended by
opening it on November /, instead
of December /, and closing it on
the first of January. They pre-
ferred that open season embrace
December and January, instead OF
November and December.
Incidentally, Bill Mccormick, OF
the National Wildlife Federation in
Washington, reported this week
that wild ducks and geese were
enroute southwark il greater mum.
bers than was the case in any
previous migration in many years.
He states that for the past five
years the southwark drift of duck
and geese has been steadily in
creasing in number, with the move
ment for this year topping all other
years.
Mccormick will be at Southport
at the meeting of the officers and
directors of the Outdoor Writers
association of America, October 81

1s.-R-Virginia Military Insti-
tute's football team scored on an
inspired second-period drive and
chung stubbornly to that advantage
to upset Virginia's Cavaliers 7 to o
before a drenched crowd of $4,000

halfback, got six yards and passed
to Luther Sexton, end, who made a
spectacular ~shoestring catch on the

H-Boys Wins For Ole
Miss By Score Of 14-6

OXFORD, Miss, Oct. 19.-R-
Mississippi's H-boys, Hovious and
Hapes, injected new life into a slow
starting ole Miss squad today as
the. Rebels turned back Duquesne,
IA to 6, before a homecoming
crowd of 10000.
The Rebels, slow in recovering
from last weeks great effort
against Georgia, for the first two
periods made little Roadway
against the Pittsburgh squad which
trotted out its trickiest plays for
southern inspection.
Not until the third quarter did
Ole Miss and her touchdown twins
really get under way. The Junie
Hovious passed from his W 40
to Eubanks, who tore to the left
and went out of bounds on Du-
quesne's II. It was Merle Hapes
on the next play, around right end
for the touchdown. Hovious kicked
the extra point.
Duquesne took only three plays
to come back, Gonda running the
kickoff from his own 10 to the
Rebel 46, a line drive picking up
two yards, and Chadonic swinging
wide on a successful fake reverse
to cross the goal line standing.
Rokisky's kick failed.
Hovious' touchdown came late in
the final period when he grabbed
a 45,yard pass from Hapes, right
from under the noses of two big
Duquesne backs who had stepped
over the goal with him. Hovious'
kick was again good for the final
point in a score that sent the Reb-
els along their undefeated march
and ended the Pennsylvanians' H.
game winning streak. 1

Field Goal Is Margin
Of Win For Mountaineers

BOONE, Oct. 19-LB-Sparring
for three quarters with both teams
apparently evenly matched, New
berry and Appalachian broke loose
in the last quarter on long passes
today, but it was Henderson Bak-
er's field goal in the final minutes
that gave the Mountaineers a 81
victory.
The Appalachian Mountaineers
scored first when Arkie Felton's
left-handed spiral from the 80 was
taken by Eddie johnson in the end
zone. Ernie Safrit a n d George
Grier had set up the play from
midfield with a couple of in e
plunges good for first downs, de-
spite a 15-yard penalty. Bakers
placement try failed.
Appalachian's kickoff found New
berry trying to move from its %,
but Gator Craxton pulled down a
high pass from quarterback Col
langelo and without breaking his
stride raced rs yards to score for
the Indians. Collangelo's place
kick left the Mountaineers trailing,
rs.
With five minutes to go, Grier
took Newberry's short kick on his
own % and pulled up on the mid
stripe. A reverse, Safrit to Baker,
and a strong plunge by Grier
placed the ball on Newberry's 20
but four attempts found Appalachi-
an two inches short of a first down
and Newberry took over. Several
tries by Collangelo produced no
gain for the South Carolinians and
Safrit took Collangelo's kick on the
IS to set the stage for A%ppalachi-
ans winning counter. Grier fol-
lowed Safrit's short pass to John
son by blowing to Newberry's IS.
Another aerial, Safrit to Baker put
the ball on Newberry's 10, from
where Baker kicked the winning
field goal. I

Notre Dame Shows Power
Beating Carnegie Tech

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 19.-lR
-Notre Danes football 1egions
marched today to the relentless
beat of a touchdown tattoo which
hammered Carnegie Tech to SUBJ
mission, 81 to O., and stamped the
victors as one of the greatest
teams in Irish gridiron history.
By land and by air, Notre Dame
routed the outclassed Tartans in a
contest which saw the Use of every
one of the 81 players on the Irish
bnch. But even the substitution
of fifth and sixth s%tringers could
not m%easuably slow the jugger-
naut which scored the biggest
point total for the Irish since 1925
81 to 0 rout of Drake and handed
Carnegie its worst defeat in Techs
modern football era.
The game, in which the Notre
Dame first team played less than
two periods, wasn't six minutes
old when John O'Brien, Irish end,
blocked a Tech punt and recov-
cred to run "a yards for a touch
down. From then on it was a
parade of power by the Irish, who
showed they are headed for the
high road to national title ranking
as the finest a%ll-around team pro-
duced by Coach Elmer Layden in
his seven-year regime.
Carnegie didn't have a chance.
The Tartans didn't rach Notre
Dame territory until the third Pc
Rod and then, against Irish third
stringers, lost the ball on downs at
the Notre Dame As. Late in the
contest Tech go to the Irish 43
before losing the ball on a pass in
Perception. In all, Carnegie made
only five first downs to Is for the
victors. l

RAIDERS UNABLE

than held their own the first period,
brt the spirits plummeted to earth
early in the second quarter as the
Dukes punched across a score
after the ball had been handed
them on a platter on the Colgate
Is yard line.
In the fourth quarter the spirits
scared higher than ever as two
breaks put the raiders in scoring
territory, but the home team was
unable to capitalize on the op-
portunities, to kill all hopes of a
Colgate victory, Rabbity Moffat
Storer took the ball on a sweep
around end and scarnpered 80
yards for a second Duke touch
down.
A punt skidding off the foot of
Carl Kinscherf, Colgate back, to
go looping crafty out of bounds
or the Colgate % for an advance
of only 10 yards was the wedge
that opened the gate for the first
Duke score. Until that time the
stalwart Colgate line had stymied
every attempt at a consistent adj
vance.
With the goal in sight, the Blue
Devils went to work. A pass, Yves.
McAfee to Jasper Davis, carried
the ball to the 10, and after McAfee
had failed in one running attempt,
Davis took matters into his W
hands and on his third try urged
his 208 pound chassis over the
goal from the two yard line. Tony
Ruffa's place kick was good.
The third period was without in
cident, but Duke handed the break
back to Colgate with interest, in
the final quarter. Storer fumbled
on the Duke Is and John Scott re-
covered for Colgate. On the next
play Bob Barnett intercepted Ed
Dunn's pass to check the threat.
The check was only temporary,
however, as Al Hanover intercept
ed a Duke pass on the Duke Is.
Hanover and Bill Geyer than COL
Elaborated on a couple of passes
that carried the ball to the Duke
six, but that's the best the raiders
could do, and Duke took the ball
Oh downs on its four.
Shortly afterward a Colgate punt
bombed over the Duke goal, and
the Blue Devils took the ball on
their 20. On the first play Storer,
a rubber-legged sophomore, went
around his right end and down
the side lines 80 yards with not a
hand touching him. Ruffa missed
the extra point, but by that time
1t made no difference.
