6 to 0 yesterday afternoon at Rooaevelt Field before a homecoming crowd of approximately 2.000. It waa a contest in which almost everything xcpt murder occurred. In fact th contest probably would have ended in a deadlock had not an unusual run of vnta preceded Campbell'a clincher. Lata in th Initial quarter, Ryan instituted a ground movement from mid-field which carried to the IS where Jer Black fumbled to loaa five yarda and deter temporarily the drive. Sonny Evana then pasaed to An-gelo Varallo for a first on th Bustsr five and on th next play Black eraahed through to the one, but the play was' recalled when it waa ruled both cluba- war offside.

QUARTER INTERRUPTS DRIVE At this juncture th quarter ended. Shifting to the opposite end of the grid, Black loat a pair and Berry waa stopped at tha Una. Black fumbled and HuTchlnson recovered, but again it waa decreed that both teams were offside. On the ensuing play, Evans shot a pass Intended for Varallo and Harrison Golns hit it, but Instead of knocking the pigskin to the ground he banged it horliontally into the arma of Campbell. Thus it waa that the Irish who threw only three passes, (two as a last resort) achieved the decision via an aerial.
