TITUS B. LOBACH jNafionoJ Officii All-time high score in college football was made in 1900. Dickinson college defeated Haverford college 227-0. "Where is the neutral zone in a football game?" R. E.

S. The neutral lone Is the pace between the scrimmage line of the two teams. This space is the length of the foothall. "The offensive team punted over the goal line and the receiving team ran the hall hark to the 30-yard line. Is this a legal play?" L.

E. C. No. Anytime a kicked hall crosses the goal line (other than one from the kickoff or free kick after a safety or fair catch, or one which wore a field Rial) before being touched by a player of either team. It is a touch-back.

On a touch-hack the hall is put in play by a scrimmage on the '10 yard line. "When a plaver makes a fair catch, how his team put the ball in play" J. L. li. After a fair catch Is made, the raptain of the team can choose to put the ball in play hy a scrimmage at the mark of the catch or by a free kick either at the mark of the catch or from a point directly behind the mark.

This free kick may be a punt, drop-kick or place-kick. "After a huddle or shift play, how much time may a team take before the play starts?" H. C. E. In all huddle or shift plays, all eleven players of the team In possession nf the hall must come to an absolute stop and wait at least one second before the hall is put In play.

When coming to this stop they must also remain stationary In their positions without movement of the feet, body, head or arms. "The offensive team attempts to kick a field goal by a place-kick. The knee or knees of the player holding the ball touch the ground. May any other play be tried when this occurs?" P. f.

M. No. The only play which can be made Is a place-kick, because the ball becomes dead when a player In possession of the bull touches the ground with any part of his body but his hands or feet. "How Is the ball put in play after a safety? After a touch-back?" M. T.

D. After a team makes a safety, the ball Is put In play hy a free-kick anywhere on Its own 20-yard line. The kick may be a punt, drop-kick or place-kick. After a touch-back, the ball Is put In play by a scrimmage on the 20-yard line. WILBERFORCE ROUTED JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.

(JP)- Lincoln overpowered a lighter Wil berforce football team, 40-6, yes-tcrday after capitalizing on two in' terceptoins early in the game. 1 TONY ARNONF, rugged Garfield fullback. Is stopped one yard short of a touchdown in the closing seconds of the (iarfield-North encounter yesterday at Old Forge field. The Previes didn't need the marker, however, as they collected two others to trip the Vikings, 1 3-0, and rim their unbeaten streak through 21 straight games. The touchdown hid above failed as the game-ending gun cracked before the Prexies could run off another play.

Pete Itattista (51) of North is the only other player identified in, or near, the pileup. Working smoothly from the T- formation, the Sooner State Aggies broke in front with Spavital's sensational junket, on which not a TCU hand was laid on him, in the first period, added another in the opening minutes of the second and coasted in. John Carey passed to Bill Grimes for the final 12 yards for the second Aggie touchdown and Jack Hartman converted after both scores. It was a pass, from Leon Joslin to Pete Stout, covering 24 yards, that brought the Horned Frogs their score. Wayne Pitcock converted.

North, Ellet Lose Power I id California Bears Top Stunning Upset, 14-7 yards for a touchdown with only Middies In By HAL HOOD BERKELEY (UP) A powerful University of California football team, getting its first taste of glory in a decade, humbled the Navy, 11-7, here yesterday in one of the early 1947 grid season's most stunning upsets. A terrific Bear forward wall, featuring a quartet of great ends, smothered every Navy thrust.

It wasn't until the final minutes of play that Navy was able to work into California territory. It was the second straight victory for Coach Lynn Waldorf as head man of the Bears and, following last week's smashing 37-7 triumph over Santa Clara, stamped the Berkeley club as one of the nation's potential powerhouses.

Wallace Wade, Duke's old master, won revenge yesterday by defeating North Carolina State, 7-0, in a southern conference football game played two days after State was released from a polio quarantine. Oddly enough, the Duke touchdown was made by Louis Allen of Greensboro. It was another Greensboro boy, Don McCormlck, who developed polio and forced the State team into quarantine. He listened to the game by radio from a Raleigh hospital. The Duke score came late in the final quarter.

Footsie Palmer of State dropped back to pass. Bert Lyle and three Duke cohorts blocked the aerial and Allen bundled in the pass and zoomed 45 yards for a touchdown. Paul Stephanz placekicked the extra point. North Carolina State 0 0 0 0-0 77 Extra Duke 0 0 0 Duke scoring: Touchdown. Allen, point.

By BOB SUA Ff.K Turning North's passing attack into their chief weapon, Garfield's defending city champions scored a 13-0 victory over the Vikings in a non-city series tilt yesterday at Old Forge field.

The game was the second of a twin hill. Western Reserve Academy pushing over a late touchdown to defeat Ellet, 7-0 in the opener. The victory was the second of the season for the Prexies and carried their unbeaten string through the 24-game mark. It was North's second loss in three starts. Si ll KM) I)on Grant and Halfback Hill Syli-r provided the markers for Garfield, both intercepting Viking aerials and scampering for touchdowns.

In all, the Prexies intercepted six North passes, all in Viking territory. Garfield's other serious bid was halted on the North one-yard line hy the tuners' gun, endmr; the game after a pass interception and a snort drive had moved the Prexies into scoring position. Grunt broke through the line and intercepted Phil Saitta's flat pass early in the second period and (lashed 19 yards to tally. Sam Magyar booted the extra point from placement. Syler's marker came on a 26- yard run after taking Joe Amato's toss early in the third frams.

OTHER GARFIELD threats were halted on the North five, by a pass Interception in the first period: when North held for downs on the 25 twice in the fourth period, and on the one as the game ended Jim tsonu nearly broke away after intercepting Jim Bragg's heave late in the game. The clever Garfield quarterback raced hack yards but was pulled down from behind on the North 14. Rvler Magyar and Tony Arnone alternated in pushing to the two. But an offside penalty moved the Prexies back to the seven. Arnone then picked up six yards In two plunges before time ran out.

NORTH'S ONLY bid was halted late In the second quarter after the Vikings, relying on the passing of Amato and Saitta. had driven as far as the Garfield 15-yard stripe. After thereatenlng several times, Academy finally shoved over a marker late in the tilt to end a short 20-yard drive, begun when Dan Wingard recovered a fumble on the Ellet 20. In five plays, Academy scored, Hugh Jae doing the honors on a one-yard plunge through center. FIMH.AY IN ROMP ED1NBORO, Pa.

UPi A strong Findlay (Ohio) college team scored in every quarter yesterday to defeat Edinhoro State Teachers football team, 31-12, in its opening test. the first half, Missouri ripped slashed and pushed the Ohio line aside or ground it. underfoot. A line that is giving ground never looks too good, and Missouri was finding Ohio's tackle positions exceedingly vulnerable. In the remaining 57 seconds of the third quarter Ollie Cline, the great fullback of a few years ago making his new debut as a Buckeye, had golden chance when he took Mel Sheehim's kickoff back for 16 yards only to fall with a clear field in front of him and a cinch 30 yards or more awaiting him if he didn't go all the way.

JL'ST TWO plays later Slager passed to Akron's Dick Shannon who took the hall in the clear near the midfield stripe and immediately dropped it. After the many blown chances hy the Buckeyes in the first half, a lot of persons were beginning to suspect that they were just not destined to pull this game out of the fire. They were practically convinced this was the rase early in the fourth quarter when, after Sensanbaugher had rambled 19 yards to the Missouri 27 and Cline had banged to the 20, an offside penalty -the ninth imposed against the Bucks during the fray for one reason or other halted their drive. Molilea, the 29-year-old kicking specialist from Akron Garfield, made valiant effort to heroize himself with a field goal but the kirk was low and wobbly and the Tigers took possession on their 20 with the clock spinning. THK It I KS picked up a break midway of ttie next Missouri drive when the Tigers were set back to their own 25-yard line via a holding penalty and they came up with the ball on their own 11-yard line on Day's next punt For some reason or other Ohio's safety men did not get back into position for this long kick and there was much moaning from the stantls and perhaps from the Ohio bench as well.

But as things turned out, this mistake may have had beneficial qualities.

While the Bear ends, John Cunningham, Harry Agler, Dave Hirschlfr and Frank Van Deren, were smashing the vaunted Navy end and off-tackle smashes, a pair of young scat backs paved the way for a California victory. Bob Celeri, 160-pounds of lightning, used only as a spot passer in most instances, set the Bears on fire in the waning minutes of the second period. He faded back and passed 12 yards to Cunningham.

On the same formation, he dropped back again, faked a pass, then ran 17 yards. THAT LEFT the Navy defense wide open. Celeri took the ball again, ran to the end and then cut down the middle of the field 21 Mt'tll OF THE roughness in the Buckeye play was to be expected for the Fesler system is new to all of the Buckeyes and a lot of the Buckeyes who were un-ahle to attend spring practice are still new to the Fesler system. Moreover, they were up against what probably is a good hall club. The Tigers dominated the play during much of the game.

They ran 35 plays to Ohio's 22 in the first half; 62 plays to Ohio's 39 in the entire game. There was only one football and Missouri controlled it most of the time. Yet the final figures show Ohio outdowned the visitors, 18-16; out- gained by rushing, 261 yards to 231, and had an over-all net yard-nge gain of 284 to Missouri's 236. Ohio's line play was not brilliant but Bob Jabbusch, Jack Lininger, Chuck Renner and several of Ohio's ends played outstandingly THK VETERAN Buckeye backs, Whisler, Verdova, Sensanbaugher, Swinehart, Perini and Cline, lived up to advance billing. But just as has been written, Ohio's fortunes this season will rest on the line play.

If the line develops as it did develop in the second half ycs terday to the extent that it can consistently give these capable ball carriers support, then the Bucks may go places. Slager did well enough in his debut as varsity quarterback, handling the passing department well, with seven completions in 13 attempts although for onlv 6.8 yards of gain, and Clark, the fleet one. continued to demonstrate his agility. Jimmy Clark may turn out to be Fesler's top ace in the hole. Fesler said after the struggle whs ended that he was "tickled to death to beat as good a team as Missouri.
