Little Red Riding Harvard was paid a visit by a new kind of grandmother, a Princeton tiger thinly disguised beneath popular betting odds. "The better to eat you with, my dear," quoth the tiger, leaping out of the locker room and baring its chief fangs, Backs Slagle and Williams. No doughty woodsman bobbed up at the psychological moment to save the heroine and for a gruesome hour or so the sound of munching was heard on Soldiers' Field. At twilight, an autopsy was performed which revealed Harvard's condition as the most serious she has ever been in after a meeting with her New Jersey relative. Score: Princeton 34, Harvard 0.

While the Princeton cat was away, mice from Rutgers and Lafayette went over and played in Palmer Stadium. Lafayette fumbled and fumbled and fumbled, but would in no case have been a match for rugged Rutgers. Hulking Homer Hazel,* 226-pound Ail-American back, and his fleet fellow, Henry Benkert, smashed and scampered through every obstruction Lafayette could rear, at one point forming 72 yards' worth of interference for Quarterback Terrill. Score: Rutgers 43, Lafayette 7.

Yale, who was planning to go calling in Princeton the next week, spent a restful afternoon at home, letting her second string entertain Maryland with a collection of touchdowns and faultless field goals. Score: Yale 47, Maryland 0.

Pennsylvania's guns, unspiked this season, missed fire consistently when trained on Georgetown. Fullback Al Kruez was chief gunner. Four times he set his sights for a field goal, three shots sailing wide, the other ricocheting backwards off a Georgetown mast. Finally his crew moved him up to the 21-yard line where he touched off a direct hit. Score: Pennsylvania 3, Georgetown 0.

Up in New Hampshire, Dartmouth gave Boston University a hardy New England reception. Guard Abodeely of Boston stood forward staunchly, but was shaken so thoroughly that a bone in his leg came apart. Dartmouth substitutes conducted the latter half of the affair, felled a flight of passes. Score: Dartmouth 38, Boston University 0.

Wesleyan waded beyond her depth at Williamstown, drowned without a struggle. Score: Williams 43, Wesleyan 0.

Childe Harold Grange* to a dark tower came, at Stagg Field, Chicago. Instead of waiting, as most people do, to stop him after he got started, Chicago anticipated the Grange assault with counter-irritants. Before Coach Zuppke could unleash his red lightning, Coach Stagg had loosed big Austin McCarty, big Harry Thomas. The Illinois line wavered, broke twice, three times. When Grange finally got under way, he scoured up and down the field frantically, covering 300 yards, of which 80 measured his zig-zag trail to the touchdown that saved a tie to Illinois. Score: Chicago 21, Illinois 21.

Michigan flung herself on Northwestern, 27 to 0; Notre Dame herself on Wisconsin, 38 to 3. Indiana, an outsider in the Big Ten race, left Ohio State at the post, 12 to 7, thus bringing to an end Ohio's sleepless nights over the title. The title rested between Illinois and Chicago, both unbeaten, but the latter tied twice to Illinois' once.

In the Missouri Valley, Drake outplayed Kansas in a duel of punts but suffered her spotless record to be smirched with a 6-to-6. tie. Missouri meantime tucked away Oklahoma, 10 to 0. Iowa squeaked out of her Butler game, 7 to 0-Ames jaunted up to Minneapolis, tied the Minnesota Gophers on their own prairie, 7 to 7.

Farther west, it was California vs. Washington, and the champion Golden Whales were all but harpooned, 7 to 7. Idaho rose up and smote Oregon, 13 to 0. Leland Stanford found Utah only, mildly entertaining, won 30 to 0. Southern California took more punishment, this time from St. Mary's, 14 to 10.

The big game of the cotton belt went to Baylor, 28 points to Texas' 10. Georgia Tech handled Louisiana State nicely, 14 to 7; Georgia sought out Virginia, punished her 7 to 0 in a furious game.
