UP) AS South Benders Maintain Undefeated Record At Baltimore BALTIMORE, Nov. 5. UP) Notre Dame's greatest football team since the last glorious 1930 model, turned out by Knute Rockne, rolled over hapless, out' classed Navy, 15-0, today as a ca- pacity throng of 62,000 half-soaked spectators wondered what the score really could have been i Coach Elmer Layden hadn1 hooked the leash on his touch down makers. It was a sad, wet day for the Middies, long one of the most dangerous pigskin foes of the Fighting Irish. If some of their pass receivers, who had 31 forwards pitched to them during the alternately exciting and uninter esting game, had reached a bit higher the.

score might have been close. But the Irish secondary, as alert as the forward wall was strong, broke up the aerial bom' bardment and then sailed down the field with touchdown thrusts in the second and third periods, to clinch the victory. Statistics very often lie, and to- day they did just that. While they gave Navy 11 first downs to Notre Dame 6, and 127 yards gained from rushing to 150 for the Irish, the game was far from close. From the very start the spectators expected a football slaughter.

It wasn't quite that but it could have been if Layden hadn't used his second team to start. Before it was all over, the third team was on the field, forcing a safety' for the final Irish score. Navy, now twice beaten and twice tied as against a clean slate for the Irish, threatened several times. Twice it had a chance, once on the Irish three and again on the enemy three-yard lines, only to miss heart-breaking passes. Notre Dame, outplayed in the first period, which saw the Mid dies fail in a field goal attempt after reaching the Irish three-yard stripe, struck with its first team midway in the second period, scor ing on a bewildering march of 79 yards by deceptive reverses and end sweeps.

Bog Saggau opened the drive and finished it. He and Louis Zontini rushed the ball for gains from four to 22 yards a whack at the tired Navy wall to the 16. There, Saggau faked a pass and raced around his right down the sidelines for a touchdown. Zontini place-kicked the added point In the closing seconds of the second period, Navy brought the spectators to their feet with a rally that just missed, partly be cause of a five-yard penalty for excessive, time out. Saggau fumbled and Hal Hansen recovered for Navy on the Irish 36, Ralph Anderson, replacing the sharp-shooting Louis Mayo on the Mid-die firing line, completed three short passes and the ball was on Notre Dame four.

But the time' out penalty and the alert Irish secondary snuffed the chance just as the half ended. A fumble by Anderson, recov ered by John Kelly for the Irish on the Sailors 18, opened the gates for Notre Dame second touch down just as the rain, a thin spray whipped by a brisk wind, began soaking the customers. Six plays later and the Irish, aided by an offside penalty, were over the line. Except for a three-yard whack by Zontini, the touchdown lugging was done by Fullback Joe The-sing, who drove the Middies back, cracking the center and going over from the three-yard mark. Zon-tini's try for the extra point was low.

For the rest of the period two 55-yard punts by Saggau snuffed whatever offensive chances the Middies had. It was desperation that netted the final two Irish points. From behind his own goal, Cliff Lenz, another of Navy's fine aerial artists, tried to get off a pass. Badly rushed, he was four yards behind his goal when he made the throw. In rushed George Rassas.

He batted the ball and it fell for a safety. Stuart Cubs Win STUART The Cubs of Stuart High smashed through the Hollywood eleven to a 6 to 0 victory Friday. Frank Hardwick made the touchdown with the aid of fine blocking. The Cubs showed improvement in their defense, many times throwing their' opponents for losses. I Two weeks ago in their first game, the Cubs ran a 13 to 0 score over the Hollywood team on the local field.

LATE BALLY WINS WILLIAMSBURG, 5. UP) William and Mary's Indians won their first game over a State opponent this season by defeating Hampden-Sydney 18-7 before crowd of 2.000 today. The Indians clicked off two touchdowns in the fourth to clinch the decision. COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. 5.

This will be the pass-tossing Rhodes scholar's first game in front of a Colorado crowd since he skipped three touchdowns and threw two scoring passes against Denver University last Thanks giving Day. His homecoming, however, will be staged more than 100 miles south of the Boulder Stadium where he starred in the silver-and- gold uniform of Colorado University the last two seasons. Friday game will be played at the Will Rogers Memorial Stadium, tucked back of the Broad moor Hotel just south of Colorado Springs. The stadium, more than 6,000 feet above sea level, is a horseshoe ST.

LOUIS, Nov. 5. UP In spired by the celebration of its golden anniversary of football, St. Louis University held the Univer sity of Mississippi, one of the na tion's top elevens, to a 14 to 12 score today in an intersectionai game before a homecoming crowd of 8,500. The kicking toe of John Hartle, substitute St.

Louis end, turned cold and cost the Billikens at least a tie. Hartle had missed only two placements for extra points in two years until today, when both his attempts failed. Led by Parker Hall, 195-pound halfback, Ole Miss ripped through St. Louis for touchdowns the only two times they had the ball inside the opposition 50-yard line. Hall passed to Mississippi lirst touchdown, set up the second and kicked both extra points.

Stunned momentarily by St. Louis' initial-period touchdown, manufactured literally out of im pending disaster, the Rebels hit their stride to score on a drive from their own 34-yard line on just four line plays and two long passes from Hall to Harvey Mur- phy, the second being received in the end zone. Outclassed in the second and third periods, the Rebs cut loose their other touchdown drive mid way in the fourth quarter and marched all the way from their own 38 in eight plays. John Lehn-hardt plunged over from the 5 after Hall had gained most of the yardage. St.

Louis' first counter resulted from a midfield running play that didn't click, Mel McGonnigle was crowded back to his own 45 and passed 25 yards to Denny Cochran, parkplue of the St, Louis team. Cochran ran 35 yards unmolested for the touchdown. Aided by two stiff Rebel penal ties, St. Louis drove from its own 37 for the second score in the last two minutes of the game. Rutgers Defeats Princeton, 20-18 NEW BRUNSWICK, N.

Nov. iff) Rutgers scored a 20 to 18 football victory over Princeton today the first for the Scarlet over the Tigers since the two universities inaugurated the intercollegiate game in 1869. In the capacity crowd of 500 was George H. Large of Flem-ington, a member of the first Rutgers team of 25 side-whiskered students who invited 25 Princeton men to that original intercollegiate game and won six goals to four. Since that time Rutgers had lost 33 games to the Tigers.

Coming from behind twice Rut gers surged over for the winning touchdown in the last quarter after capitalizing on a break. Bob Jackson, Princeton back, fumbled punt from John Mullen and Doug Hotchkiss, Rutgers center, recovered on the Tieer 12-vanl line. Three plays later Mullen took a pass over the eoal line from Art Gottlieb and Walt Bruyere placekicked the extra point. Lawrin In Miami MIAMI, Nov. 5.

UP) Louisiana State swept to victory today over Mississippi State, 32 to 7, in a loosely played football game, but Frank Chamber, little sophomore halfback for the losers, gave the Bayou Tigers the jitters all afternoon. Chamber set the stage for Mississippi State's only touchdown with a dazzling 53-yard run. Harvey Johnson carried the ball over for the Maroons a few plays later. LSU clearly outclassed the Mis-sissipplans and the Bayou Tigers had little trouble" taking the hon ors in the, 33rd renewal of the rivalry between the two schools. Mississippi State fumbles gave LSU its first two touchdowns.

Charles Erdman, LSU sophomore back, scored on a neat 23-yard run after one fumble and Red Whitman, Tiger tackle, grabbed the ball in the air on another bobble and ran 24 yards for a second touchdown. Chamber came in in the first quarter as a substitute for Bruce for Mississippi State. He dashed off tackle through a half dozen LAKE II MAT Big Tony Papalino, rugged New York bone crusher, will return to local mat wars Monday night to meet Tiger Long, crack Florida light-heavyweight, in the top event of, an all feature wrestling show at the American Legion arena in Lake Worth. Papaljno will be making his first appearance of the season in the neighboring city ring and will have a tough nut to crack in the fast-stepping Long. It should be a slam-bang affair from start to finish.

Ned Reynolds, Seattle lad, who gave Tiger Long a torrid tussle last week, will meet a highly tout ed newcomer in Jacques Barnard from Boston, in the second feature on Monday's card. Tex Riley, pleasing light-heavy of El Paso, is matched with Bad Boy Brown, Harlan, and Walt Miller, Chicago, will tackle Speedy Warren, South Bend, in the other two bouts. Special attractions will augment the mat program that is scheduled to get under way promptly at 8:45 o'clock. TCU Maintains Undefeated Record TULSA, Nov. 5.

UP) Texas Christian's power and pre' cision kept it in the select circle of undefeated football teams again today. The University of Tulsa was the Horned Frogs seventh victim of the season, 21 to 0. Striking during the first 10 minutes of the game, the swift Christian attack, made two touch' downs before the Golden Hurri cane could find its wits. Then Tulsa stiffened and fought on comparatively even terms until the fourth when TCU put another touchdown count of seven points on the scoreboard. Little Davey O'Brien, brilliant on the ground, and in the air, was, as usual, the spearhead of the Christian drive.

Tossing Tommy Thompson, whose pitching arm was counted on heavily by the Tulsans, was bottled up almost completely by Christians highly-developed pass defense. Tulsa's best drive of the day was at the end of the first and through the forepart of the second quarter. That sustained march carried from the Tulsa 15 to the TCU 24. Local Nine To Play At Miami Today East Coast Motors baseball club, winner in their first meeting with the strong Railey-Milam club here last Sunday, will travel to Miami today to resume their two-game series. Tiny Chaplin, with San Diego this past season and who was to have faced the local club last week, will be on the mound for the down-State nine.

Theron Tomasello, winner of 17 games with Dothan in Alabama-Florida League last summer, will be the pitching choice of Ace Causier, manager of the local club. Causier has asked his players to report at Wright Field at 11:30. Game time is 3 o'clock. Hitt Adds To Lead CLINTON, Nov. 5.

UP) Captain Joel Hitt of Mississippi College, second place man in the Dixie Conference scoring race, added 23 points today as he led his mates to a 35-0 triumph over Spring Hill College of Mobile. Hitt caught passes for two touchdowns, ran 42 yards for another on an end-around play, added a point from placement, and blocked a pass and a punt behind the Badger goal line for automatic safeties. Spring Hill threatened twice on passes, but lost the ball on interceptions after approaching the Mississippi goal ing, and side-stepped one tackier after another down the field until Jake Staples of LSU downed him on the LSU 18. Mississippi State made a first down and Johnson carried over for the only Maroon touchdown. LSU linemen drove deep holes through the lighter Maroon line in the second period, clearing the way for a 70-yard march.

Roy Joe Anderson plunged over for the score and Guy Milner, who came in just for the kick, made the extra point from placement. The prettiest play of the game gave LSU a touchdown in the third when Jabbo Stell lofted pass to Ken Kavanaugh who stood close to the sidelines. Kavanaugh sped down the edge of the field, dodging tackles at full speed, on a 52-yard touchdown play. Stell and Bob Fife alternated carrying the ball for LSU in the fourth period on the final touch down march. Stell spun through tackle for a dozen yards to within inches of the goal and Fife car ried the ball over.

NASHVILLE, Nov. 5. UP) Vanderbilt, using reserves for three quarters of a thrill-less game, hung up its 11th consecutive viC' tory over stubborn Sewanee tO' day, 14 to 0, before 7,000 specta- tors. The Commodores, beaten only by Louisiana. State this season, stuck to straight football, punch ing over touchdowns in the first and second periods and then coast' ed while the Tigers vainly tried to puncture the Vandy defense.

Only once, late in the final quar- ter, did Sewanee threaten to score and then the attack was repulsed on the 6-yard line. Vanderbilt, starting on its own 47 soon after the kickoff, wasted no time in driving across the double stripes. Almost effortlessly, Bert Marshall and Roy Huggins battered the Tiger line for consistent gains before Marshall slipped off right tackle for the tally. Captain Marvin Frankin split the uprights for the extra point. In the next period the second team started a drive on its own 38 that ended when Turney Ford, sub for Huggins, cracked center for the second touchdown.

Junius Plunkett, Marshall's sub, drop- kicked the point after. Boston Trounces Tampa By 31 To 7 WESTON, Nov. 5. (JP) Halfbacks George Ratcliffe and Bob Leahy scored all five of Bos' ton University's touchdowns today as the Terriers rolled up their highest score of the season to trounce Tampa Spartans, 31 to 7. The "Florida temperature cave the visitors a break and a Leahy fumble after two minutes of play gave them another which thev quickly capitalized, taking a 7 to 0 lead.

Hance cracked over for the score after a sustained drive from the Tampa 42. As the second period opened itatcnrie, ana company went to work and Tampa wilted, Those two sparklers, aided bv Earl Crompton, rambled steadily and Katclifle scored from the 24. The Spartans halted another drive. but the twins went to it again and Katciirte went over from 'the seven after a steady march. After the intermission, Lawrv ana Katcmte finally got moving again, and Crompton tossed an 11-yarder to Leahy for the score.

In the last session the Hanley-men added two counters and muffed another. Crompton's 22-yard heave to Leahy chalked up one of the last- quarter markers after Ratcliffe had picked up plenty of yardage on runs, and Ratcliffe tallied the other after a Crompton to Leahy pass. Gilded Knight Wins PAWTUCKET, I Nov. 5. UP) Third in last Saturday's New England Futurity, the Wheatley stable's Gilded Knight came back at Narragansett track today to win the Wannampisett Handicap by tour lengths over A.

E. Silver's Heather -Time. The victory was worth $4,130 and boosted Gilded Knight's earnings to $6,375 in nine starts. The Wheatley colt spread-eagled a field of seven, covering the mile and one sixteenth route in 1:45 45. Although Gilded Knight's margin over Heather Time was wide, the Silver filly had an even more decisive triumph over J.

H. Carr's Ferdinand, which took the show award, eight lengths behind Heather Time. Gilded Knight ran fourth past the clubhouse and was in a bad spot around the first turn. Then Jockey Jimmy Stout pushed the colt to the center of the track, where he kept pace with Heather Time until the half-mile pole. From there to the finish Gilded Knight was in front.

The fifth consecutive winnlni: favorite on today's card. Gilded Knight paid $4.10, $2.90 and $2.40. Heather Time returned $3.30 and $2.80 and Ferdinand paid $3.40. game held in the enclosure, which was completed and the playing field sodded only this fall. The stands will hold 15,000.

The two professional elevens will command a top of $4.40. This may not seem so much to Eastern ticket buyers, but it is a fancy price in the mountain country where the highest price for col- leee games is $2. Although his team has won only two of its seven National Pro-fessional League games this sea' son, White already has proved his class as a salaried performer to the satisfaction of veteran observ ers on the pro front. Ray Flaherty, coach of the Washington Redskins, defending pro champions, declared this week White could be the greatest star in the business if he would give up his studies at Oxford and stick to the pro leaguj for three years or so. COLUMBUS, Nov.

5. UP) Purdue punctured the Buckeye bubble today, 12 to 0, virtually wrecking Ohio State's Western Conference title aspirations with a pair of last-period touchdown thrusts which left a crowd of 54,365 gasping. Louis Brock, 185-pound junior fullback, cracked off a 50-yard run, longest of the day, to set up the first toucnaown, wmcn ne carried over from the three-yard mark. A few minutes later he punted 80 yards from behind his own goal to put the Bucks deep in their own territory. Next he intercepted a pass, and then carried the ball to the one-yard mark from where Leon Dewitte, junior fullback from Mishawaka, scored the second and game-clinching touchdown.

Ohio, frustrated at every turn by the Boilermaker squad, was outclassed in all departments. Purdue gained 283 yards on the ground to the Bucks' 159, and the invaders completed three of seven passes and permitted the Ohio tossers to make connections on but of 18. Three Ohio heaves fell in Purdue hands, all in the last period, while the Bucks failed to snatch any of the Purdue aerials. VMI Gains Tie With Wake Forest LEXINGTON, Nov. 5.

UP) Wake Forest's fighting Deacons, trailing through three periods, came back with a rush today to score a fourth quarter touchdown and tie Virginia Military Institute 6 to 6 on a muddy field before a homecoming crowd of 4,000. VMI, thwarted when its initial threat was halted on the ten yard line, marched 54 yards in the first quarter and sent Pounding Paul Shu hurtling over the goal from the three yard line to gain a 6-0 lead, Shu's placement kick for extra point was low. Wake Forest, after showing potential strength by blocking and recovering two of Shu's punts in the second period, came back a re juvenated ball club to start the second half. Late in the third period, with VMIs aggressive linemen tiring, Wake Forest started a drive from its own 38 and did not relinquish the ball until Marshall Edwards, big fullback, smashed over for a touchdown from the one foot line. South Carolina Wins Intersectionai Game COLUMBIA, S.

Nov. 5. UP) Scoring in the final period with a 44-yard pass from Ed Clary to Frank Urban, the South Carolina Gamecocks won a 7-0 intersectionai victory over the Duquesne Nightriders here today before '000 fans. The teams, apparently evenly matched, battled back and forth on a rain soaked field through the first three quarters and it looked like a scoreless tie until the Gamecocks suddenly flashed their scoring play. The stage was set when Man- gone, substitute Duquesne halfback, fumbled and Pop Howell, South Carolina tackle, recovered on the 44.

Clary faded back on the first play and flipped the ball straight into Urban's arms, the end shaking loose from a tackier and racing over the goal. Pinhead Henson added the extra point from placement. Miami Negro Nine To Play Here Today The Miami Red Sox will furnish the opposition for the West Palm Beach Yankees in a negro baseball game this afternoon at Lincoln Park. The game is scheduled for 3:30 o'clock. Seats are reserved for white fans.

Brown Bear, hungry for a foot ball victory over Yale, left here starved today, but only after eiv- ing the Ells' Bulldog, crippled by injuries, the scare of his life. The sons of Eli came from behind in the final minutes of the game to pass to a 20 to 14 triumph before crowd or ou.ooo. Trailing throughout mnst of th thrilling battle and minus two of its injured aces, Bud Humphrey and Al Wilson, Yale got its aerial attack clicking with only a couple 1 of minutes left to play to snatch victory out of the Brown Bear'i jaws.

After inspecting the Shaughnes- sy bag of tricks for 15 minutes, the Harvards set off their touchdown barrage on the fourth plav of the second period, a 25-yard aerial thrown by Torbie MacDon-ald td Austie Harding.

T. M. Dorsett Scores In Derby "Preview" LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5. UP) Out from the east today came T.

M. Dorsett to capture the 19th and final running of the Kentucky Jockey Club stakes. A Kentucky Derby "preview." The sleek brown colt, owned by Joe W. Brown of New Orleans, made a show of the six horse field in easily winning the mile test for two-year olds in 1:38 35 on a good track and under clear skies. John Marsch's Lightspur, heav ily-played favorite, finished third, a nose behind Steel Heels, owned by Junius W.

Bell. Behind Light' spur came Stockboard, Star Boarder and Calumet Red. The victory, worth $8,450 to Brown, increased the year's win nings of the son of Cohort-Michi gan Girl to $15,080. In the $2 mutuels T. M.

Dorsett paid $8.80, $4.60 and $2.60. Steel Heels returned $4.80 and $2.60 and Lightspur paid $2.40 for show. The Brown colt was second choice in the betting. Jockey L. Haas sent T.

M. Dor sett into an early lead and held it to the end, finishing three lengths in front of Steel Heels, which was never worse than third. Lightspur, first out of the chute held onto second until the stretch, then fell behind Steel Heels but rallied and lost the place in a photo finish. Churchill Downs' officials -pre viously announced the stakes would not be renewed next year. Three times have winners of the Jockey Club race gone on to win the Kentucky Derby.

Today's program concluded the Downs 7-day fall meeting. Field Goal Gives Manhattan Victory NEW YORK, Nov. Held to 28 yards on running plays and able to complete only two passes in 12 attempts, Manhattan called on Manlio Boverini, 192- pound junior from Lynn, in the final period today. The black-haired Italian lad booted a field goal from the 27-yard line that gave the Jaspers a 3-0 victory over North Carolina State fend their first major triumph of the season. It was the second time this year that opportunity had beckoned to Boverini, and this time he answered her call.

Two weeks ago the Manhattan junior failed on two attempts at the extra point that would have given his team a tie with Georgetown. This afternoon, before a crowd of 8,000 scattered through the vast reaches of Yankee Stadium, he coolly kicked the ball between the uprights and, having just trotted on to the field, trotted right off again. Though N. C. State out-rushed Manhattan by a 90-yard margin, neither team was able to put on any sustained offensive marches.

Even the deciding field goal came on a break, four plays after Quarterback Art Rooney had fumbled in taking the ball on a complicated reverse and Jim Sarulo, substitute Manhattan end, had recovered on State's 25-yard line. Clemson Wins Easily GREENVILLE, S. C. Nov. Clemson's regulars played only 20 minutes today in a game with George Washington which Clemson won, 27 to 0.

A crowd of 10,000 saw the contest. Shad Bryant and Don Willis, backfield aces, provided the punch of Clemson's offensive. The South Carolinans rang up a six-point lead after 56 seconds of play the first of four scores that came on long runs, the short est of which was 16 yards. The jinx hung high for three bit ter periods in Archbold Stadium, today. Then Phil Allen, the min ute man who beat Cornell, swept wide around Colgate's bewildered left end for the touchdown that gave Syracuse a 7-0 triumph, its first over the Maroon in more than a decade.

The victory, accomplished on only two first downs and a week after Syracuse had been swept aside by Penn State 33-6, ended the most noted hoo-doo in Eastern football. Not since 1924 had Syracuse defeated Colgate. The last tie was in 1927. For the first time in its gridiron history, Syracuse had beaten Cornell and Colgate in a single season. For most of three periods Col gate was the better team on the field.

So the 35,000 spectators, most of them wildly partisan Syracuse fans, drifted into mass hysteria when Dick Banger, Syra- cuse sophomore, caught a punt on his own 2b and dashed 56 yards to the Maroon 14. One play was stopped cold just as the fourth period began. Then Allen wheeled out of line the ball went to Hoffman, handed it -to Banger as the play swept to the left and Banger in turn gave it to Allen. Pulled entirely out of position Colgate's defense could make only a baffled stab as Allen swept past right end for the touchdown. Captain Jim Bruett place kicked the seventh point.

Baylor Hands Texas Ninth Straight Loss AUSTIN, Nov. 5. UP) The phenomenal hurling of Baylor University's spindly, blond Bill Patterson today added the ninth straight defeat to the grid records of the University of Texas Long- horns. The score' was 14 to 3. Coach Dana X.

Bible's impotent steers made a fight of it the first half, emerging with a 3-0 lead due to Wallace Lawson's 27-yard field goal Except for shortlived thrusts thereafter, however, the game was all Baylor's and Pat tersons. Patterson took the Texas kick off at the opening of the third period behind his goal and raced to his 18. Three consecutive sue cessful aerials placed the ball on the Longhorn 40. Patterson un corked one to Boyd behind the goal line. A moment later Patterson slith ered through tackle for six and hurled an almost unbelievable 40- yarder to Witt, who sidestepped his wav to the Texas 10.

Patter son 'tossed another to Boyd behind the goal stripe. Rifle Match Planned A rifle team representing the City of Delray Beach will shoot against the Barco Motors Rifle Club on Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the rifle range on North Tamarind Avenue. The cublic is invited and ample parking facilities are available at the range. PONY BACKS SCORE LOUISVILLE, Nov. 5.

UP) A 'pony express backfield from Centre College ran a heavier Washington and Lee team dizzy before 7,000 fans today for a 7 to 0 victory. Pushed all over the field in the first half, the Prayin' Colonels of Centre came back with a rush after Intermission to set the Virginians on their heels and score in the final quarter.".
