West coast : Texas Christian in the Southwestern Conference. East.
Pittsburgh, generally recognized last year as the strongest team, this
year unbeaten by anyone except Notre Dame, was outrushed by Carnegie
Tech but held time & again, to win 7 to 6 after Right Tackle Tully
had blocked the try-for-point that would have tied. In Manhattan,
Army's beautifully timed interference cut down Illinois tacklers like
a mowing machine and Ray Stecker ran behind the blades of the machine
for two touchdowns. Army 13, Illinois o. Ranking next to Pittsburgh,
since they showed better against Yale than Army did, although both
games were ties, Dart mouth had a 43 to 14 warmup against little
Allegheny. Colgate's Fullback Macaluso, All-American prospect, tore 28
points out of Columbia by himself and his teammates made it 54 to o,
but Colgate rooters re membered with regret that their team did not
look like that when Michigan State beat them not so long ago. Of the
less important games, most un usual was little Lehigh's 13 to 9 victory
over what is probably the worst football team that has ever represented
Princeton. Midwest. Captain Hank Bruder and Fullback Reb Russell took
turns carrying the ball and gained 364 yards, made 16 first downs
against Indiana, won 25 to 0— a game that makes Northwestern potential
Big Ten champion. Playing intersectionally, Wisconsin and Minnesota won
their games. Ohio State, completing its own passes and intercepting all
others it saw around, took Navy into port, 27 to o. Michigan's passes
beat Harvard's attempts at field goals, 6 to 3. Notre Dame. In a
class by itself, this amazing football machine takes a sleeper jump
almost every week, plays far & wide.* This year there are no
"Four Horsemen" in the backfield; a dozen able ball-carriers
enable Rockne to work to perfection his system of starting against
any opponent whatever combination he thinks is just good enough to win
and make the game exciting. Philadelphia has never before seen such
football as Notre Dame exhibited against Penn. Marty Brill, a
Philadelphia boy, made three impressive touchdowns for which, according
to report, his father gave $1,000 a touchdown. Quarterback Carideo,
indisputable All-American choice, sent Schwartz or Savoldi through
plays which came off with astonishing precision, shifting around end,
feinting, tearing through the line. Notre Dame 60, Pennsylvania 20.
On the eve of the Pennsylvania game, Coach Rockne took occasion to
reply to the unsavory charges pressed against football by Penn
Alumni. Said he: "I make $10,000 a year, win, lose or tie. I never
heard of this side money which they say comes to coaches, and I wish
the report had been more specific and named some real instances. The
boys who play with my team are well above the average in their studies.
There are more brains in my squad than in a large part of the student
body." West. When the University of Southern California beat
Stanford 41 to 12 a few weeks ago, people were surprised. But never in
the history of Pacific coast football has a team been beaten the way
Duffield, Arbelbide and Southern California friends beat California
74 to 0—a game in which, out of mercy, the last period was cut short
five minutes. Yet Washington State has beaten Southern California. They
won again, an easy game with Idaho, while Oregon nosed out U. C. L. A.,
7 to 0. Stanford beat University of
