Football

P: Three Army runs beat Yale; famed Chris Cagle sprinted twice for 74 and 52 yards while Yale's Allan scampered 52 more. Each run represented a touchdown. Whereas Yale gained more first downs and completed more passes, these brought but one score, and the Army won, 18--6.

P: Bronko ("Big Nag") Nagurski. Minnesota's rock-crusher, made ready to destroy Iowa; Iowa, too, had a star fullback, McLain, who prepared to crush Nagurski. Neither accomplished much; an Iowa sub, Irving Nelson, went in and toed his team to a 7--6 triumph, the first made by any team against Minnesota since 1926.

P: Harvard went past Marsters, the celebrated Green Ghost, of Dartmouth. The Ghost twisted his ankle and haunted the field no more while French and Gilligan and Guarnaccia hunted in the mountain greenery and brought home the game. 19--7 was the score.

P: Overshadowed by Oregon State's Maple, Washington lost, 29--0.

P: Navy, poked and punched by many a palooka, punched Penn, 6--0.

P: Missouri drove to Nebraska's 1-yard line and a pass failed; after that Nebraska scored 24 points, dancing down the field like eleven drunken farmers returning from a fair.

P: Penn State stymied Syracuse, 6--6.

P: Princeton, not yet scored against, scored three precarious points against Cornell and won the game.

P: Notre Dame made ducks of Drake 32--6.

P: Illinois, 1927 "big ten" champions, faced Northwestern. Northwestern?s team was fast but Illinois' Timm was faster and he won the game with a touchdown in the second period. Score: 6--0.

P: Georgia Tech, the Golden Storm, blew quickly through North Carolina, causing, it seemed, touchdowns to fall from the trees. The score was 20--7.
