Illinois, leading 10 to 6 in the last two minutes of play. and. with the game apparently safely won, lost when "Cowboy Nick" Kutsch, Iowa's newest, gridiron broke away for 32-yard run, carried the ball to Illinois one-yard line and smashed over for a touchdown" on' the next play that gave Iowa victory. The defeat virtually ruins Illinois' chances as a contender for "Big Ten" championship.

D. B. Dougherty W. A time with Iowa In a championship game, produced the closing thrill when he broke away for his dash in the closing seconds of the game, and then scored the touchdown that sent the packed stadium into a frenzy of excitement. Grange, himself playing defensive safety, brought the new Iowa star to earth as he sped for the Illinois "goal line, with only a' few inches to go.

The game revealed that Grange still is the Grange of old despite his showing in the Nebraska' contest two weeks ago. He played one of tl.e greatest games of his sensational career, both defensively and offensively. The famous red head carried the ball thirty-one times for a total of 256 yards, once breaking away for twenty-five yards and two runs of twenty yeards each, in addition to his eighty-yard dash. He hurled -two passes for a total -of twenty-four yards and figured desperate tackling in stopping Kutsch and Fry, the swift charging fullback. Kutsch.

The generalship, alertness, punch and quickness of the invaders made the Wildcats appear dead before the battle had scarce begun. The game today knocked the Wildcats out of any chance to cop the Southern crown and was a sad blow to the host of Wildcat followers, whose hopes had been keyed up by the splendid showings made against Chicago and Clemson. In justice to the Cats it must be said they fought harder in each succeeding period, cutting down the Generals yardage each quarter, but were nomatch for the brilliant Washington and Lee team.

But the Army defense was more than equal to the overhead thrust. Tosses were knocked down and interceDted right and left, until the last quarter, when the husky Army linemen began to break through so easily that passers were tackled and thrown fre quently ten and fifteen yards behind the line of scrimmage.

The ball was jn Notre Dame territory from the start, the Western team never once getting: inside the Army's twenty -five-yard line. After threatening in the very first quarter, the Cadets started their first big drive at the opening of the second quarter, sending in the powerful veteran. Tiny Hewitt, to lead the march. After a poor punt- had given the West Point team possession of the ball on Notre Dame's thirty-seven-yard line. Wilson and Hewitt quickly smashed through for first down.

The latter then scattered Notre Dame's opposition for a sixteen-yard drive through tackle, carrying the ball to the eight-yard line. After three short plunges. Wilson then went over for the first touchdown and kicked the extra point on a placement. Notre Dame had its first chance shortly afterward, when Scharer. who had replaced Edwards at quarterback.

Two were knocked down and the last intercepted. Buell then raced twenty-three yards around end to the Hoosier forty-three-yard line, and a forward pass to Wilson netted twenty yards more.

The march continued steadily until the five-yard line was reached. Here Harding hurled a short pass over the goal line to Baxter for the second touchdown. Hording failed to kick the goal for extra-point. The half ended with Army leading 13 to 0. Army's final two touchdowns came in the last quarter.

Hewitt carried the ball across the Notrq Dame goal line for the 'third score after Saunders, Army tackle, had receovered a blocked kick and galloped to the two-yard mark.

Hubert starred for Alabama at fullback, making three of the victors touchdowns.

Experience putting out a "gloom screen." To day's score proves that I was not. There was no gloom before the game and there is no gloom now. The boys gave everything they had but they lacked the prime essential for victory, and that's experience. A sweet little lady who crowded past the policeman, was standing outsidp our dressing-room as I came in from the field. As the door opened, she peered in, and there, sitting on the very first dressing bench, was her boy a great big, 200-pound kid, cry ing like his heart would break.

The IHtle lady thought her boy was in jured and suffering, and so I led her a few feet into the room and pointed to thirty-six exhausted, sweating boys. Boys Not Gloomy. "See them. I said, "count 'era and you'll find plenty others crying." The inquiring, mother seemed to catch the sentiment of that disap pointed dressing-room and putting her handkerchief to her own eyes, turned and disappeared. But make no mistake.

boys weren't shedding tears of gloom. They knew what Notre Dame stands for in football and they've got a tough mark to shoot at. They were simply outclassed today and when the final whistle blew, many of them went to pieces. But, let me say this I am per fectly well satisfied with their work. What they learned at the Yankee Stadium will do them more good than all I teach them on.

New York. Oct. 17. The best Army football team that I have ever seen since the World War met the green and youngest of all Notre Dame teams and the result was an overwhelming defeat for us at the Yankee Stadium 'this afternoon. Fol lowing on the heels of Notre Dame's unbeaten- varsity of 1924, the boys who faced West Point today looked weak and helpless by comparison.
