Detroit scored a touchdown In the first two minutes when, after the klckoff, Capt. Mc-Kenzie fumbled a Detroit punt and Halfback Brett of the Titana recovered the ball and continued down the field unmolested. In stead of losing heart, however, th Billlkens perked up, and a llttl later, taking the ball on the 60- yard play, by. sheer offensive fore scored a touchdown on two successive off tackle plays by Fischer and Ramacciotti, the former mak ing 20 yards and the latter accounting for the remaining" SO yards. Detroit Advance rm Ims.

After this convincing demonstration, It appeared that Savag had trained a winner. His men were forcing the visitors to punt on the fourth down time after time. After receiving Detroit's klckoff, however, the dependable Ramacciotti foozled his punt, and It rolled out of bounds on his 22-yard line. Detroit failed to gain on three line bucks and In addition drew a five-yard penalty. A forward pass, however, put the ball on the S-yard line and the Titans went over for their second and laet score.

The Blllikens worked the ball Into Detroit territory before the half was up and with half a minute to Play, O'Reilly tried two long heaves, the first of which Kahle cropped over the g-oal line and the second of which KamaeclottI barely missed after a Detroit back had knocked it down. There can be no questioning the fact that the Billlkens. although greatly outweighed, were muih the stronger and team. Repeatedly Ramacciotti and Fischer, with Levis for Interference, smashed the bulky enemy wall and broke away for long gains. Levis was playing his first game of the season and did not carry the ball at all but was a hard blocker and clipper and probably will win his spurs as a first string back.

ROCKNE WRITES By KNUTE 'ROCKNE. Coacli of the Notre Dame Football Team. Copyright. 1924. PRIXCETOX, X.

Oct. 25. In a measure the 12 to 0 victory which Xotre Dame scored over Prinoeton this afternoon was a duplicate of the game my team won from the Army a week ago. Just as the Army relied mostly on unadorned brute force so too did Trinceton. My team, on the other hand, dressed its drive with power and again we won.

Unadorned power can never win from power which Is well seasoned with deception. Princeton has the big games with Yale and Harvard in mind. Besides, Princeton is still in its formative stage. I am quite satisfied, after what our Princeton friends showed us, that they will go a considerable way by the time they meet Yale and Harvard. When these games arrive Princeton will be prime for a complete expenditure of its resources, power and deception combined.

Today it was compelled to play with its reserve. Xotre Dame played raggedly at several stages of the game but on other occasions my boys rose to fine heights. Don Miller and Crowley slipped by the tackles and around the ends in splendid sequence, and Layden as usual added his magnificent plunging to the drive into Princeton territory. Stuhldreher again used perfect judgment at quarterback. Defensive Game at Start.

As against the Army, I selected to play a defensive game at the start. Princeton held by reserves and at the start of the second fjutr-ter I sent my regulars in. Walsh, our captain, was unable to play at all on account of some broken bones in his hand, but in spite of this my line functioned as well as ever. Neither team made a first down in the first period. It is very seldom that this happens.

In the second quarter Stuhldreher returned a Princeton pant about 30 yard and then Notre Dame got started. The regular backfield worked up steam, but 15 yards from the Princetou 'goal we lost the ball on a fumble Com I i ucd on page 4S) r's Crowley, after being held to a yard, broke loose and twisted his way 17 yards across the goal line. Stuhldreher's kicking attempt for the extra point was blocked. Halted in the third quarter through penalties, the Hoosjgrs came back in the final quarter with an onslaught that put the tiring Tigers to rout. An unexpeced march of 65 yards, with Layden and Crowley as the spearheads of the attack ended when the latter again fought his way over the last chalk mark with a trio of Tiger tacklers on his back.

This time Crowley tried to boot the extra point, but the attempt again was blocked. Princeton fought stubbornly and with the characteristic Tiger pluck but Roper's men were ho match for this blue-jerseyed whirlwind. The Orange and Black had its hands full, even in the first period in which Rockne used a substitute eleven exclusively and when the regulars took the field, the result was a foregone conclusion. Convincing proof of Xotre Dame's superiority is the fact that they made 23 first downs to only four for Princeton and gained a total of 360 yards by rushing as compared with 101 for the Tigers. The Hoosiers completed only four rt their 10 aerials, but two were vital factors in scoring their touchdowns.

Princeton tried two forwards and completed one. The Tigers failed at any time to penetrate beyond Xotre Dame's 30-yard mark and only twice were close to that.

25. West Virginia defeated Centre today. 13 to 6, outplaving the Colonels throughout the greater part of the game. Far-lev a substitute halfback, was Mountaineers' ttar. Covington was Centre's best ground gainer.

Less than J000 persons taw the game. Xotre Dame's vaunted attack fully came to expectations, while its defense completely checked the Tigers, but the margin of two touchdowns, both tallied by the sensational Jimmy Crowley, brightest of a quartet of super stars failed to indicate the wide margin of Hoosier superiority. Losing three fine chances to score touchdowns, JSotre J.ame might have exceeded a margin cf their 25 to 2 triumph last year, but for their own mistakes and J-ne stubborn stand by the Tigers in the' shadow of their own K-aI. A fumble by Crowley on 10-yard line In tho second quarter blasted one scoring chance, two 15-yard penalties in the third period for holding, the first of them on a play In which Don Miller carried tho ball across the g-oal line, upset another drive, while In the final period. Princeton held and got the pigskin on downs on her own 5-yard line after Xotre Darne had charged 75 yards down the field.

Crowley S-ores Twice. The Hoosier touchdowns came in the second and fourth quarters, both times after versatile drives that had the Tiger forwardg reeling backwards. In the second period, after being momentarily checked by Crowley's fumble, which Slagle recovered. Stuhldreher, Xotre Dame field marshal, tossed a forward pass to Don Miller, who raced 22 yards to Princeton's 25-yard line. Elmer Layden drove 10 yards on the next play, then Navy Is Handed Third Defeat Virginia Wesleyan Scores 10 to 7 Victory Over Midshipmen.
