Football

Notre Dame teams have ranged the country for many years, brawling on grid irons in the north, walloping the south and west. From time to time they play a game on their home grounds in order to prove to sceptical and moping opponents that Notre Dame possesses a campus, a student body and other educational paraphernalia as well as a coach and a football team. Since 1905 Notre Dame has always won its home games; this last week after disrupting the Army, Notre Dame's prowlers returned to Indiana and waited there for the oncoming of an unbeaten football team from Carnegie Tech.

Howard Harpster, Carnegie's captain, threw a 20 yard pass to Rosenzweig, who ran 60 more yards towards a touchdown as soon as the game began; Carnegie made three more before the game was over. The Notre Dame team, which had been miraculous against the Army, made only one and lost 7--27; it was now the first Notre Dame team since 1905 to lose at Notre Dame and the first coached by Knute Rockne to lose more than two games in a season. Johnny Niemiec, often a hero this season, walked off the field to cheers and sat on the Notre Dame bench for ten minutes without speaking to anybody. P: Princeton's team was gay before the game; little signs in the field house said "Sixty minutes"; Yale was gloomy and four stars--Garvey, Ellis, Decker and Charlesworth--sat nursing injuries on the sidelines. Logic pointed to a Princeton victory, psychology to a Yale one. Logic and psychology argued during the first quarter in the Palmer Stadium. Thereafter Princeton won 12--2. P: Halfback Brazil sizzled in Manhattan where Detroit made a lizzy out of Fordham 19--0.

P: The East's high scorer, Ken Strong of N. Y. U., made three more touchdowns and kicked three more placement kicks, helping to account for the 27--6 total which N. Y. U. inflicted on Missouri. P: Colgate cleaned up Syracuse 30--6 owing largely to the efforts of hard half- back Hart.

P: Nebraska, undefeated, wallowed to a long, scoreless tie with Pittsburgh. P:. Iowa was after the Western Conference title, but so was Wisconsin, which won 13--0 and will play Minnesota next Saturday.

P: Thomason's two touchdowns and one other in the last quarter allowed Georgia Tech, unbeaten, to beat Alabama 33--13. P:. Red Grange once did prodigious deeds for Illinois; there was no one to do his stuff last week against Chicago. Nor was anyone required, for Alonzo Stagg's team staggered weakly and Illinois won 40--0 without the slightest difficulty. P: While 25,000 people sat watching in the rain, Tennessee's Captain Witt hurled a 16 yard pass to left-end Hugg, who embraced the ball and sat down with it thus scoring the six points which won the game from Vanderbilt. P: Southern California remained unbeaten by mangling Washington State 27--13. On Dec. 8 Southern California will play Notre Dame.

P: Among the alumni, who in cheering section seats, last week, watched Stanford beat Washington 12--o, was President-Elect Herbert Hoover. He received a respectful ovation.

P: Important unbeaten teams at this point: Carnegie Tech, Georgia Tech, Tennessee, Ohio Wesleyan, Detroit University, Boston College, Florida, Southern California (one tie), Nebraska (one tie), Wisconsin (one tie), Princeton (two ties).
