Iowa City, Oct. IT. "Red" Orange, speedy, Bllppary and squirmy, took the opening klrkoff of Iowa'a game here tr: day with llllnola on his own 16-yard line and scampered eighty five yards through the entire Hawkeye team, but this laihf. display was not enough to defeat the Old Gold, who turned a de-fat Into a glorious triumph In the last five mlnutea of the final ouarter and nosrd out the i 12 to lit. i- Thirty thousand spectators.

Bennie Owen's fighting Oklahoma -Sooner staged a startling upset of dope here today by defeating the Drake Bulldogs by the score of 7 to 0. The Sooner! scored in the first quarter. After receiving the ball on their own 40-yard line, they started a drive down the field which netted four first downs and wirier! when Lamb hit th line for two yards and a touchdown. Captain Brorkman kicked a field goal for the extra point. Th return of "Goat" Lamb, veteran Sooner punter, to the lineup was largely responsible for Oklahoma's victory.

The husky fuilburk remedied the evil of poor Vickmg which was evident In the Kansas Aggie game, and made several long gains through the line. After Oklahoma had charged across for a touchdown, Drake kept the ha 11 in Sooner territory for most of the remainder of the half. The Bulldogs had their first chance to score when Lnmb kicked out of bounds on Oklahoma's 25-yard line, but the Sooner line held. In straight football the two teams Vce about on a par, but the Soonera took advantage of the breaks, recovering two fumbles and intercepting five passes. Drake made a final threat in the final quarter after a number of substitutes had been inserted.

Cook passed to Spears who ran forty-five yards through a hroken field to the Sooner 6-yard line. On the next plav, however, Cook fumbled and Oklahoma recovered. Cook, Spears, Sloane and Henry played consistent games for the Bulldogs whiles Lamb. Potts, Sumpter and Lecrone were out standing in the Sooner lineup. Pots, Scorer halfback, made tin longest run from scrimmage 1a the fourth quarter when he raced thirty-two yards around left end before he was forced out of I bounds.

Tankes Stadium, New Oct. 17 (A.P.) Notre Pme In-1 day fijflllil Knute Rockne's pessimistic prediction In a preript-tate plunge from Its lofty gridiron throne before a colorful throng of 65,000 at Yankee stadium. Battered into submission by a powerful Army football machine, the champion Hoosler team went down to Its first defeat since the Nebraska game of 1923 before a fleet set of cadet backs which shattered the winning sixteen game streak of the lndiann eleven and broke the spell of Utickne's wiitarury wnn lour loucnnowuH, 27 to 0. The last six yeurs of football at Notre Dame fall to show a defeat as sweeping as that of (lie Tadets today and forwast a week ago by the Smith Pend coarh.

Marks Turning Point. Not slnse the Nebraska game of 11123 had a varsity gridiron product moulded by the mgic hand? of Pockne trailed In defeat, and the reverse on that occasion came only after a gruelling strugslo. with a score of 1 4 to 7 Today triumph was not only welcome to the gridiron gladiators of Tapiafn McEwan because it marked a turning point in the record-breaking march of a great coach and a great football university, hut because It balanced the scales in part for eight None Dame victories tslnca tb teams opened the series in 1913. Nebraska had been the only team to upset the Hockne machine in the last three seasons, the Cornhusk-ers spoiling a previously clean Notre Dame slate with a 14 to 6 trouncing in 1922, while Iowa, the only team to stop the Hoosiers in 1821, squeezed through a victory by only 3 points. The Army team, stampeding the South Bend cohorts with a versatile offensive that was successful at every point of attack, swept over the chalk lined base-hall park with a relentless charge hardly less Impressive than an al most impregnable defense which permitted the invading hosts onlv' even first downs otre Pame Ilf Hard.

Notr Dame went down fighting, hut It needed more than courage today against the driving power, the spepd and the aggressiveness of lieal Armv sgere-gatlon. Kockne's skillful hand tugged at th reins from the ulrle lines, but the steeds which answered a year ago under the spurs of (he famous four horsemen Miller, Crowley, I.avden and Stuhldreher--w ere riderless today. Gallantly they raced for the ends, only to he brought down mercilessly bv Ilaxter and Horn. Doggedly then they turned to the line, only to be burled under a swarm of soldier jerseya which seemed to be everywhere. There was onlv one avenue left the vaunted aerial attack which had so often saved Notre Dame at the crucial points In the past.

Heaten back on the ground, the Hooslers discarded all caution and entered upon a daring forward pass attack which found them willing to cut loose with long, bulletlike throws even under the shadow of their own goal posts.

The University of Washington football team fought the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers to a 6 to 6 tie here thin afternoon before a crowd of 15,000 football fans.

The game was largely defensive with both teams fighting on an even basis throughout. Ne-raska opened the scoring In the third quarter when A. Mandery plunged through the Washington line for a touchdown. Washington's score came in the last period when G. Wilson plunged over the Nebraska line after a series of passes and line plunges.

Washington took the offensive In the first quarter after Weir's kickoff and an exchange of punts and kept the hall in the Corn huskers' territory throughout period WhNtle Sne Hukerv In the tieron'd period Nebraska opened up after Hutchison had blocked Gitttormsen's punt and recovered the ball on Washington's 19-yard line. A forward pass by Stephens to Sprague enabled Nebraska to push the ball to the fi-yaid line. The Washinglon forward wall held, however, and the Cornhuskers failed to score when a forward pass over the goal slipped through Sprague's fingers.

Iowa Outplays Illinois.

They outplayed the Illint from scrimmage. Fry and Kutsch being good for from two yards to aeven, sometimes more, on every down. However, when they had the big opportunity their touchdown machine refused to function. Twice, however, Kutch's placekicka saved the Old Gold drives from being complete failures. There was nothing wrong, however, with the final sortie of the Hawkeyes.

either In the planning or the execution. i Seven minutes before the final gun of the game Brltton placeklcked i a goal from tne 32-yard line ana increased the Illlnl lead from 7 to to 10 to 8 Prior to that there always had been hope that the lowaoa might work the hsll within drop-kicking range for Kutsch to boot ft winning goal, hut Brltton'a field goal made a touchdown necessary to st-ore a victory. Confronted with defeat and. I with onlv a few momenta ii which to ward It off the Old Gold eleven after hesitating once, rolled down the field and through the weak Illinois line for repeated gains.
