YANKEES LEADERS World Champions Scored Five or More Tallies on 28 Occasions.

Big- league teams went to bat no less than 20,000 times in lf27, yet in but a single one of those half innings was the offense able to push as many as 10 runs across the plate. That happened on Aug. 5 when in the fourth inning the Washington Senators lit into Wingard, Crowder and Stewart of the St Louis Browns tor a mass of hits, including a single and a homer by Goslin, and set the season's top record of 10 tallies before the third out was recorded. Seven times during the year nine runs pattered across the plate in a half inning. Two of these performances were made by Washington, two by the Yankees, one by the Chicago Whitesox and two by the Chicago Cubs.

BROWNS OFTEN VICTIMS. Every nine-run rout in the American league except one was scored against the Browns. On April 17 the i Whitesox overcame a 5-0 lead and won from St. Louis with a nine-run i if rush the ninth. On May 6 Wash- ed.

S. Twomer. Har- The Yankees celebrated July 4 by mistreating the Senators, scoring nine in the sixth. The Cubs mobbed the Pirates on April 28 and the Robins on May 21 for nine-run innings. Innings in which five or more runs were made totaled 126 in the American league and 119 in the National.

The Yankees are credited with 28 such innings, practically one per week during the campaign. No other American team came up to a 20 total, while only one National team, the Cubs, exceeded 20. Most of these massed attacks won for the brutal maulers, but an outstanding exception is charged against the Boston Redsox. On Sept. 7 Car-rigan's men scored eight runs in the fourth against the Yankees, but couldn't hold their 8-1 lead, the Yankees winning out.

12-10. CUBS MADE NOTABLE GAIN. The Cardinals staged an eight-run inning against the Phillies on Aug. 23, aided by the three home runs of Sherdel, Hafey and Scheuble. Massed attacks were increased by seven in the American league over the 1926 record of 119 and were decreased by four from the National league 1926 record of 123.

The Yankees alone increased their total by 10, thereby more than accounting for the American league gain. In the National both the Pirates and the Cardinals fell below their 1926 marks, while Chicago made the most notable gain, seven. As against the single 10-run mark of 1927 the campaign of 1926 provided two 10-run innings, two 11 -run innings and three 12-run innings. The National league outranked the American on five-run innings in 1927, but on all higher scores the American totaled larger figures. This is the record for all the major league clubs on Innings in which five or more runs' were scored: AMERICAN LEAGUE.

He dashed for the sidelines as interference for him sprang up miraculously. Gibby held to his course only inches inside the boundary linp until a tackier challenged htm. Then he worked his way through a broken field until he was loose, and for the third time in one afternoon, a Pitt back crossed the enemy line standing up.

HCSKEBS DISCOUKAGED. Nebraska was plainly discouraged after this turn of events, and. with Ray Montgomery in for Fox. the Pitt line continued to smash up opposition plays with tremendous ferocity until the half ended. The Cornhuskers came back for the last two periods plainly under orders to kick on the slightest provocation and keep the ball well in Pitt territory, waiting for a break.

They did manage to keep the Panthers back of their 30-yard line by these tactics, but they never would have had their chance to score their second touch- i down but for palpable errors in judgment on the part of the Pitt field general. Instead of matching Hagan 's toe with Presnell's, Welch elected to pass several times when he was on dangerous ground. After taking the ball on downs on their 23-yard line, Pitt tried two running plays, and then Welch shot a long pass, which Howell intercepted on the 40 and carried it back to the 34. Right away the line was subjected to another severe battering which was hardly just to it after its great previous displays. It was Presnell and Howell again all the way down to the one-yard line, although several times they were fortunate that charging Panther for- wards missed their tackles after they had wormed between the interference.

Finally the ball was on the one- yard line, with a first down there. They tried Kern once, and the result! was a loss of two yards. Then Howell struck center, seemed to be stopped for a moment, but dug his cleats into the soil and forced his way over for the second visiting score. TRIBUTE PAID HAGAN. When McMullen missed goal, however, Pitt seemed certain of victory, for that meant the Huskers almost had to score two more touchdowns to win.

Just before the succeeding kickoff, Hagan was escorted from the field apparently dazed from a blow he had received on the last previous play, and he received one of the finest personal tributes any Pitt man ever drew from his fellow students. The fourth period witnessed the Panthers plainly on the defensive, although they still passed occasionally only to have Nebraska intercept the flings and start an offensive threat. In fact, the visitors were well on their way to a third touchdown when the thistle ended the game, turning to the aenai game successiully lor the first time during the afternoon, the Cornhuskers rapidly worked their way to the Pitt 20, one pass picking up 32 yards and another 11.

her to Pitt's 6." Two of the eleven came on the two long passes in the final period, while of course Pitt is not credited with first downs on her three scorinz so the margin is not so great as it seemed. WELCH OUTSHINES PRESNELL. Pitt had no single man with the running drive of Presnell. and Nebraska boasted none with the all-around brilliancy of Welch, whose versatility and marvelous "pinch playing" would seem to have earned him the decision over his rival in the duel of All-Amreicans. Bill Kern, likewise, probably played his greatest game as a Panther.

Such brilliant all-around defensive and of fensive play has seldom been matched by a Pitt tackle. He was aside now and then when Presnell was cut ting through, but he was by far the most consistently sensational lineman on the field. Ray Randela, Evard Lee and Mc Mullen seemed very effective for Ne braska, bat there were 22 stars on loo-o Princeton's march for its touch- down "starf-prl on r.ru Tinpr lino about the middle of the first quarter. Norman and Wittmer plunged through the Blue line for a first down. Miles contributed to the ground gaining and made another first down in midfield.

Paul Scull, whose toe humbled the Lions last season, added two points with well-directed placement tries after touchdown, while another point came when Columbia was offside on a try for goal, even though Scull's kick went wide of the mark. It was not until the middle of the second period that Penn scored: Then, with the ball on the 31 -yard line, little Johnny Shober arched a oerfect I forward pass to Murphy on the left side oi tne line. Murphy wngled and dodged several Columbia tacklers to sweep on 31 yards to the goal line, and Paul Scull kicked a placement goal for extra point.

Folwell Scull broke through to block one of Kerrigan's punts, and recovered the ball back of the goal posts. His brother added extra point with another goal. TROT IN NEW TEAM.

Bucknell back, a pass, Amos to Kirk-man, gaining 12 yards and putting the ball on the Bucknell three-yard line. Amos tore through the center of the Bucknell line for a score on tne first play. He missed the extra point. While there was no more scoring pntil the fourth quarter, the Presidents and the Baptists battled stubbornly and furnished the record through with thrill after thrill as they hammered away at each, both resorting to the aerial method repeatedly in an effort to get through the defense of the other. "Red" Kirkman intercepted a forward pass and got back to the Bucknell 44-yard line to star W.

J. on its way to its second touchdown. Heisel swept through the Bucknell left side for nine and Kirkman made it first down on the Bucknell 33-yard line. Cook made five, Amos three and Kirkman made it first down on the Bucknell 22-yard mark at center. Robinson made a fine catch of a forward pass by Amos and got away to the Bucknell five-yard line before being brought down.

BAPTISTS NAP. A triple pass with Heisel carrying the ball caught the Baptists napping and he raced around left end for a score. May, who had been sent in as a substitute, made a placement goal for the extra point. Young Ed Pauley, substitute end, and Denny May, quarterback, figured prominently in the third touchdown. May intercepted the ball as Bucknell took to the air in a desperate effort to overtake the Presidents.

He cleverly raced through a broken field to the Bucknell 26-yard line. Pauley took a swift pass from Kirkman and sped to the Bucknell nine-yard line before being brought down. Kirkman failed in a line try, but made another sharp, snappy throw to Pauley as the latter sped around the Bucknell left end. Pauley caught the ball while traveling at full speed, slipped through the Bucknell secondary defense and threw himself across the last chalk mark for a score. HALICKI BREAKS THROUGH.

Still fighting desperately, Halicki intercepted a W. J. forward pass following the kickoff and dashed back to the W. J. 29-yard line before being brought down.

A pass, Diehl to Trimmer, gained 11 yards, but before play could be resumed the game was over. Lineup: Bucknell 3. W. J. 19.

Morgan town, W. Va Nov. 12. The West Virginia Mountaineers thwarted serious invasion from Davis ELkins college here today on the Mountaineer field, before a small crowd, estimated 5,000 people and won a close game, 15 to 12. The Mountaineers scored two touchdowns in the second period, and a goal from placement in the third period to gain their points, while the Senators scored one touchdown each in the second and fourth sessions.

A. Glenn scored for the Mountaineers early in the second quarter, after the Mountaineers had received the ball on an exchange of punts, on the D. E. 40-yard line, from this point with a long pass, Larue to M. Glenn, helping materially, the brilliant Albert Glenn cracked through on the final play at right guard for the touchdown.

Soon after ward, the Mountaineers marched 65 yards but lost the ball on downs and Davis and Elkins then proceeded to Bet a spectacular run by Warren for 63 yards, and a touchdown, to tie the score. Hardy, substituting for Keefer, took part in five plays immediately thereafter, three runs and two passes, a final to Garrett, and marched 65 yards for a quick touchdown to be in the lead again. In the third period, the fans were thrilled by seme breaks, in which Wagner of Davis and Elkins got away after a loose ball on a punt, running 57 yards the West Virginia 46. The Senators got to the West Virginia 18 where Latham recovered a fumble and the Mountaineers then marched 52 yards, and A. Glenn kicked a placement goal from the 20-yard mark.

The Senators returned the fight and took the ball from their 45-yard line on a punt, for a touchdown, by the aid of several passes and line plays. A fumble by West Virginia and blocked punt of D. and gave the teams additional opportunities to score again, but the Mountaineers were stalled on the Davis and Elkins 26-yard mark as the game ended. Albert and Marshall Glenn, Larue and Garrett started for the Mountaineers, while Rengle, Warren and Bowles starred for D. and E.

NITTANY LIONS PLAYJiOLET TIE Continued. From Pagre 1. was a conspicuous figure on the State line and broke through play after play to make the tackles. Twice he got down the field on punts to make the tackles after first passing the ball to the kicker. While Connor and Brian te did the bulk of the work in the Violet back-field they had excellent support from Kill and Strong, the former made one of the touchdowns and frequently was-called on when Brian fe and Connor failed.

Losa, Miller and Dunn played well in the line but the latter hurt his team's chances with two bad passes. He played brilliantly on defense, however, as did Miller, this pair doing most of the tackling on plays through the line, A New York fumble paved the way for State's first touchdown when the game was less than a minute old. Mahoney recovered the rolling ball on the 10-yard line when Roepke took it across on a wide swing around right end. Neither team could make any headway in the remainder of the period although the Lions kept the ball well into the Violet territory. CONNOR'S RUN HELPS.

New York's first touchdown came just as quickly in the second period when made a long run to the line. State, held for downs but the Violets came back with another offensive that would not be denied Hill takine the ball over. The Lions retaliated with a counter march scor- ing again when Wolff ran 17 yards for a touchdown. The scoring punch was missing again until the Violets opened up a drive late in the third period which resulted in a touchdown. State never had the ball past the 35-yard line in this period.

The Violets made first downs in this quarter, six cf them coming during a 65-yard march for the touchdown. The visitors stuck to straight line plunges in this advance. Connor and Briante alternating in tearing through the Lion forwards. The final play came when the Violets had less than a foot to go on the fourth down. The' Lions rallied in the fourth period after Miller had intercepted a pass when New York threatened to score.

Roepke then tore off the longest run of the game, taking the ball to the eight-yard line. The Lions could not put the ball across in three tries then Roepke dropped back to attempt his placement. DUNN BLOCKS KICK. Dunn broke through and blocked the kick which apparently was headed straight between the uprights, saving the Violets from defeat. With less than a minute to play New York started a march up the field but was halted at the 35-yard line after Connor had made a 20-yard run.

Attempts to score a last minute victory by forward passing were broken up by the alert Lion backs. The visitors had a ten to five edge in first downs and gained considerable more in total yardage than the Lions. Most of their advances were made in mid-field, however, the Lions stiffening when their goal was threatened. Lineup: New York TJ 13. Usa L.

a at to a i i I YALE TRIUMPHS OVER PRINCETON Continued from Page 1. who witnessed this fifty-first football meeting of the Bulldog and the Tiger was that out of apparent defeat had come that altogether amazing victory. Up until the moment when Hoben hurled that fateful pass, Yale had been outclassed and outplayed through three periods of hard-fought football. A consistent Princeton march of 75 yards in the first quarter and the first few minutes of the second had ended with Wittmer prone across the last white line with the ball hugged to his black jersey. Dwikht Fishwick.

Yale end got through to block Baruch's attempted drop kick and held the Tiger total to six. From then on. until the middle of the last period, Yale was fought to a standstill and it seemed as though the Bulldog never would make up those six points, which loomed larger and larger as the afternoon waned. HOBEN IS YALE HERO. Twice inside the Princeton 5-yard lins, Yale backs hit a stonewall and the Tiger took the ball on downs.

The very play on which Yale's first touchdown was achieved came on a fourth down, when the stalwart Princeton forward line had held the charging Blue backs without gain. Yale had been penalized 20 yards for holding and delay, and it seemed as though the Bulldog, in mid-field, had no choice but to kick. But Johnny Hoben decided differently and thereby joins the group of Eli football heroes. Twice the Yale team became confused as to the particular play Hoben wanted to try and the umpire put them back five yards for getting the signals muddled and delaying too long in the huddle. And then Johnny dropped back and hurled the pass which no Yale men who saw it ever can forget.

Stew Scott, sprinting desperately from his position at left-end, gained a vantage point 'where none of the outwitted Princeton backs could reach him. Hoben's pass plunked into his arms, and Scott was off, dodging and twisting towards the Tiger goal. He had to side-step Baruch and Wittmer to get there, but so unexpected was the play that neither of these able Tigers could intercept him. YALE EXTRA SCORE. Yale's second touchdown was entirely-incidental.

Yale really scored three touchdowns in all, but lost one of them because both sides were offside. While the excitement touched off by Scott's touchdown and Cox's kick still swept through the bowl, Yale kicked off and, although the ball went over the Princeton goal line. Strubing, a substitute Tiger quarter, attempted to run it back. As a result of this poor strategy he was thrown heavily on his own 10-yard line. Owens dropped back for a forward pass, but fumbled, and the alert Charlesworth, who was on the job whenever the ball was loose, recovered for Yale.

This would have been a touchdown, but both sides were offside on the play. Princeton got away with one long forward pass, Owen to Barfield, putting the ball on the -23-yard line. Then Wittmer, tackled savagely on his way through the line, fumbled. Once more Charlesworth recovered, and this time Yale took the ball. From Princeton's 22-yard line the advance cn the goal was not too difficult.

Princeton had lost its starch. That amazing touchdown bad taken all the Tigers' spirit. Bill Hammersley, one of the youngsters entrusted with the carrying on in Bruce Caldwell's shoes, skirted right end for 15 yards, and in a couple oa rushes punched his way over for a touchdown. Once more Cox kicked the goal. Caldwell in stands.

The game was over a few minutes later. Princeton received the kickoff and never gave up the ball until the final whistle blew. Pass after pass behind the line which demoralized Ohio State last week. It seems that the non-scouting agreement actually is lived up to at New Haven, for the play fooled the Yale team completely and Wittmer went through to the 4-yard mark. A swift slant off tackle by Wittmer resulted in the Tiger touchdown.

Yale then launched a desperate offensive. Receiving the kickoff the Bulldog trampled towards the Tiger goal, finally making first down on the Princeton 4-yard line. Then and there the Tiger line proved its greatness. Johnny Garvey, another of Caldwell's substitutes, was called upon four times, and four times he struck a stone wall, Princeton taking the ball on downs. After Princeton punted Yale started a fresh assault, once more driving down the Tiger 5-yard mark.

And once more the Tiger defense stiffened and took the bail away on downs. The third period found the teams firhf t-v- oi'An rtrv noi Vi ay 0 Vil to threaten the other's goal. In the ftv, cf nocepe Mnty, that brilliant, despairing heave from Hnlvn rr Kcnf.f hrokp Princeton hearts and won the amazing victory for Yale. NEW CASTLE HIGH SWAMPS ERIE EAST New Castle, Nov. 12.
