The battle was on of pitching; arms, with Bernie Bloom and Ed Boell serving them up for th Violets, and Walt Davids and Jack Long doing th major work for th visitors. Bloom' toss to Howl Dunney produced the first NYU touchdown, and Boell's shoe-top heave to Harry Shorten applied th clincher. Colgate, after scoring on it own overhead offensive In the third, with Davids' throw to Eddie Lalor netting the score, almost added a second in the last two minutes.

But tho officials called a "screened play," on a pass after the receiver went over the goal line, and with the decision went the Raider' last hope. The game was surprisingly close throughout with the Violets countering ten first downs to 15 for Colgate, gaining 93 yards by rushing to 127 for the Raiders, and moving forward 127 yards on passes to 155 for Andy Kerr's boys.

The Quakers, underdogs before the game, three timea turned back Navy scoring threats in the first quarter and then struck with startling suddenness to build up a two touchdown lead that Navy was unable to overcome. The Midshipmen scored their lone touchdown in the third quarter. All the statistics except the score were In favor of Navy which time after time drove deep Into Pennsylvania territory, only to falter before it reached pay dirt. A courageous Penn line, backed up by hard-hitting defonsivs backs led by Don Dresher successfully repelled all but one of the Navy threats. An off-side penalty cost Navy a touchdown and possibly tie score.

After Penn had scored its first touchdown, Emmett Wood. l00s from I his 28-yard line for a 72 yard touchdown jaunt only to see the play recalled by the officials. The Quakers showed their real power in the first touchdown drive a march of 80 yards. Two passes, one from Koepsell to Dresher good for JB yards and effective line plays took them to the four-yard line where Walt sophomore fullback, plunged over for the score. Guatafson, Penn end, blocked Ingram's attempted kick and Mischo, his running mate, picked up the ball and lugged it 43 yards for the second Penn touchdown.

Shinn place-kicked both extra points. Dresner's fumble midway through the third quarter paved the way for Navy's touchdown, Dougherty recovering for Penn on the two, where Dresher kicked out to his 47, Cooke returning the ball 18 yards.

(UP) The unbeaten three-year-old champion, War Admiral, yesterday galloped away with the $15,300 Washington Handicap and the title of the year's leading money winner without drawing a long breath. Tbs results stunned a record crowd of 64,100 which sat under a i brilliant sunlight canopy in Memorial Stadium expecting Minnesota to triumph and thus blot out the Mtter rwmories of two previous defeats and one tie at the hands of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame battled the Gophers to a standstill early In the first period, after scoring a touchdown, and then protected Us slim lead like football masters. Minnesota displayed no flash of class that won1! It national recognition in previous years until the closing minutes of the game when the Gophers opened up with a forward pass attack which advanced the ball from their own 12-yard line to the Notts Dame 35 before It ended with a pass Interception. In desperation Harold Van Every, Minnesota's brilliant forward pass artist, hurled the ball through the air eight times in an attempt to score and turn defeat into victory. Sweeney Saves Gm Just as he did week ago, Chuck Sweney, the smiling Irish lad of Bloomtngdale, 111., saved the game for Notre Dame. After Minnesota had scored a touchdown In the second period, Sweeney blocked George Faust's try for extra point, allowing the Fighting Irish to retain their one-point lead.

There was a swirl of bodies crashing Into the ball after Faust's toe hit It, but it was Sweeney who did the work. It was the same Sweeney who last week rocketed Into Allen Mc-Farland In the end zone to give Notre Dame safety in Its 9-to-7 surprise victory over the Navy. From the very beginning Notre Dame was an alert, smart, scrappy eleven. The first time the Irish got the ball on a punt, action be-iran. Andy Puplis, Notre Dame's little quarterback, ran the ball back 35 yards along the sidelines, going to Minnesota's 34 before Larry Buhler, Minnesota fullback, smacked him out of bounds.

On the third down McCarthy passed to McCormlck who was stopped on Minnesota's 19 and then McCarthy struck the end of the nine-yard stripe. Thesing, Notre Dam fullback, plowed three yards and McCarthy banged around right end to the four. From there Pupils on a quarteback sneak, dived across the line and then kicked goal. There Elmer Layden, coach of Notre Dame, send his second team into the game and Minnesota got to work. Van Every advanced the ball to the 43 and then the Irish regulars came charging back into the game.

Minnesota, however, scored on a tricky double lateral and a forward, with Captain Ray King snaring the ball on the five-yard line and poing across the edge of the field without a Notre, Dame player touching him. Marty Christianson started the pass, tossing It to Rudy Gmitro who heaved it to Van Every who tossed to King, That, was the spot for Sweeney who came charging forward to tlock Faust's kick. Desperate Aerials Notre Dame missed another portunity to score tn the second period when Puplis intercepted Van -Every's pass on his own 47 and dodged through the Minnesota team to the Gopher 16 before Christiansen brought him down. There was a minute and 30 seconds left to play but the Irish could not get the ball across. Minnesota surpassed Notre Dame In only one department and that on the strength of the late minute aerial asault in the frantic closing minutes.

Alabama Crushes Kentucky, 41 to 0 Tuscaloosa, Ala. Alabama's Crimson Tide, visioning a fifth Rose Bowl bid, swept over Kentucky, 31-0 here yesterday afternoon in a homecoming Day game. A crowd of 13,000 watched the contest.

P.eserves played throughout the second half, pushing over two touchdowns.

In the third period, the Tide smashed to a score without surrendering the ball after receiving the kickoff. The march ended when Slemons skirtod left end from the one-yard stripe.

Heelfly and Burning Star crowded him on the last turn but a furlong from tho stretch Kurtsinger let him out again and he spurted away like a frightened brown shadow. The field trailed as the winner straightened out and dashed for the wire.

Heelfly, under the flailing whip of Jockey G. Woolf, made a bid that fell far short but ran Burning Star off his feet in the final furlong. War Admiral, galloping easily, breezed across the finish line. The champion probably will run again either in California or Florida, it was understood, although he will be retired to stud at an early date. FORDHAM COPS 14-0 TRIUMPH Chapel Hill, N.

UP) Ford-ham showed Its power and razzle-dazzla yesterday to turn back a hard-fighting University of North Carolina eleven, 14 to 0.

Captain John Druze converted from placement for the extra point, and also made his kick good after the second touchdown. Butch For-tunato, a relief Fordham back, drove one yard through center for the second tally. Peck Leads Continued frotp l'aje A concrete idea of the decisiveness of the Cornell victory is best gleamed from the statistics, which disclose the startling i'act that the Lions did not gain a single net yard running from scrimmage. This was by far the finest joa turned In by the Big Ked forward wall, which rates alongside the great Cornell lines of all time. Holland and Spang were particularly brilliant, Luckman failing to sweep either flank for a single gain all afternoon.

Holland was all over the field inaking tackles, spilling the Columbia Interference and hurrying Luckman on every pass. From end to end tiie Big Red line overpowered the Light Blues, and it was along the rush line that th Red enjoyed its great superiority. With Peck, spark plug of the team, back, Cornell piled up 194 yards from rushing and a matter of Inches on one occasion, and seconds on another prevented it from rolling up two more touchdowns. Luckman was a one man back-fleld for Columbia, a heroic figure In defeat. He ran, passed ana kicked until ha neany dropped from exhaustion al the finish.

But he was still tn there pitching at th final blue puff of smoke, connect AVON DEFEATS SPENCERPORT Spencerport Avon High rolled to a 26-6 triumph over Spencerport of the Monroe County League In a football game here yesterday, 26 to 6.

After some delay at the post, War Admiral broke fast from an outside position -into the middle of the track.

White, a dynamic 165-pound bundle of dynamite, carried on in brilliant fashion after Baker, suffering froiia severe strain, was retired at the end of the half. He ran hard, blocked and selected his plays with the poise of a veteran. Cornell blocked and tackled with its old fire and zip and its big line was mopping up once again-just as it had against Penn State, Colpate and Princeton.

Columbia's offensive always one cf the most diversified attacks in Ihe East was pathetic against the hard hitting Red forwards who spilled almost every play at the line of scrimmage. Only the presence of a super-passer like Luckman saved them from a more disastrous defeat. The Lions' running attack was completely smothered throughout the first half by a fierce charging wall of white shirts, with Holland and Spang outstanding. So effective was the Cornell line that the lions showed a loss of five yards running for the entire first half. With the wind at its back the boys in light blue reached the Cornell 33-yard line, the nearest It I came to the Big Red goal line I In the half.

The tnreat was quickly snuffed out when a vicious tackle by McKeever jarred the ball out of Taylor's hands and Moulton recovered for Cornell. The rest of the first quarter was a punting duel between Luckman and Hooper, with the Lion ace favored by a strong wind at his back. Just before the period ended, Luckman quick kicked from midfield on first down, the ball bouncing ous of bounds on the Cornell seven. As the second quarter opened, Whit Baker slid through a hole in the left side of the Lion line, spun out of the grasp of two tacklers before he was flattened on the 25. The Big Red finally got under way and brought the crescent crowd to its feet midway in the period when Holland recovered a fumble on the Columbia 43.
