THE L'nited States Navy's proud gridiron dreadnought, buffeted and brulen by a great Michigan tidal wave, Raped into port tonight on the leeward tide of a 54-to-0 score. Great holes were torn in her sides; holes through which the Wolverines poured Ine smashes, long passes and brilliant runs. It was a versatile attack anl a stubborn defense that conquered the Navy.

Friedman's 20-yard pass to Gregory opened the door to the score, and "Ho'' Molenda pounded and dodged the remaining 2J yards for the touchdown.

Friedman to Sammy Babcock, who was substituting at left half, gained forty-five yards. The next pass was to Molenda on Navy's 10-yard line, whence he staggered the rest of the way across.

OosMerbaan scored the next Michigan touchdown, which came in the third period, lie took a pass from Friedman, who tossed it from the 30-yard line, and stepped over the line.

BETHLEHEM, Oct. 21. MUHLENBERG invaded this little Pennsylvania steel town with blood in her eye today. She was after revenge over an old rival. Lehigh.

She returned to AHentown with her revenge, and a hard-fought victory, tonight. She lowered the Brown and White of Lehigh by just two points. As a result, this city is pitched in gloom, while the Muhlenberg hosts returned to celebrate the glorious conquest in her home town. Read the final figures Muhlenberg, Lehigh. 7.

It was a great Muhlenberg team which turned the trick, and broke the string of triumphs which Lehigh has turned in during the past few years. Coached by Haps Benfer, former Albright star, the (larnet and Gray eleven came over Lehigh Mountain to meet an unbeaten Lehigh team. But with a versatile attack, led by brilliant forward passing, and well balanced interference, the team played Lehigh off her feet in the first half, and then in the final two periods staved off the plucky Lehigh warriors in a rebound which threatened to carry the local collegians to victory. Nick Borelll Plays Brilliantly Several individual heroes stand out in all the fight and struggle on the slippery gridiron of Taylor Stadium. They were not all of one team, nor could any one player be picked as the individual star.

Nick Borelli. the husky Muhlenberg full-back, probably comes nearest to being the outstanding light of the game. His line plunging and throwing of forward passes was bril liant. But particularly were the and accuracy with which he ploughed through the Lehigh defense something of a revelation to the ten thousand or more grid fans who thronged to Taylor Stadium today. He carried the ball 50 per cent, of the time and only once was he thrown for a loss something of a record for any line bucker.

Borelli was not all. There was also Winnie Sleinmer, the former West phillie High star, who put Muhlenberg on the winning path late in the first Continued on 31st Page, 1st Column MM MUHLENBERG By PERRY LEWIS CONFOUNDED by the miracle wrought by a superman In moleskins, less than five minutes after the epic struggle got under way, their morale shattered in a split second by the feats of a single man, and then pressed back into the slough of defeat by a magnificent football machine, the Quaker of Penn bent the knee to Illinois yesterday afternoon, 24 to 2. Fully 60,000 frenzied devotees of the pigskin sport saw the-defeat, yea, the humiliation of Penn.

Four times Yale cleats engraved their imprint on the territory behind the Army goal posts while only once w-as the mule able" to generate enough kick to plant the ball behind the Yale goal. Thelis scored twice as the indirect result of successful air thrusts, once on a blocked kick and the last time as a result of an Army fumble. A brilliant eighty-yard run by Harry Wilson in the third quarter after the blonde halfback had intercepted a forward pass on his own twenty-yard line gave the Army its lone touchdown. Aerials Break Army Defense Yale's air offensive broke the heart of the Cadet defense of six passes attempted, only three were completed, but the damage wrought by two of these cannot be measured in terms of yards.

But Yale got the breaks. Those intangible incidents which weigh the balance one way or the other. Not a loose ball was gobbled up by the Army during the game and many times the ball rolled free of the pack only to be recovered by a blue-jersey. Only one break went toward the Cadets and that gave the Army its touchdown. The first quarter was confined almost entirely to a kicking duel, with the honors even.

Early in the second quarter Yale opened up with its powerful attack. A series of line, thrusts, end runs and one forward pass gave the ball for a first down on the Army 12-yard line. Cadets Hold for Downs The Cadets tightened their defense, however, and took the ball on downs on their own 0-yard line. An exchange of punts late in the quarter gave Yale the ball in the exact centre of the field.

i a By JAMES C. ISAM INGER PRINCETON, N. Oct. 31. LITTLE SWARTHMORE, a rabbit in the football jungle, was ablo to take at least one bite at th ferocious Tiger at Palmer Stadium this afternoon.

Princeton won. but the Garnet eleven made good its boast that it would erosa the Orange and Black goal line. The final score was 19 to 7. What was supposed to be just a dress rehearsal for Harvard and Yal Zturned out to be quite a stirring Mon day night poduction for the Tigera. They had to give their best licks to win and at no time was iSwarthmore a mangled, panic-stricken adversary.

As a matter of fact, Roy Mercer't men were stronger than the'r opponents in the final peiod and ripped off one touchdown and threatened to score another before Referee E. E. Miller played his farewell whistling solo. Swarthmore pulled itself together excellently after being in disarray in the first period. The game was fought on a moist field and the crowd was kept down to a minimum because of weather conditions.

Among interested spectators in the bullpen, or press box, were scouts from Cambridge and New Haven. The Tigers play the Crimson here next Saturday afternoon and seven days later they meet Yale in New Haven. Play Straight Football The scouts carried back home soma impressive diagrams of Princeton rlaya, but nothing that will embarrass Coach Bill Roper fo rthe Tigers stubbornly adhered to straight football and commonplace plays all day. Not a peep at any intricate stuff could the scouts get, but it was a prosy, colorless battle to the end and the Tigers won without revealing any secrets of the high com mand. Once again the Princeton air game was faulty.

For three Saturdays in succession the Tigers have lieen able do very little with the forward pass. It was better today but not what It should be. Princeton has men in the backfield who can hurl long passes, but having them caught is another matter. Princeton was at its best in the first period. The game wasn't five minutes old when the first touchdown was collected.

It was" the fruit of a weak punt. Swatthmore had the ball on its own, 12-yard line when Captain Wilcox elected to punt. He kicked his poorest punt of the day. Princeton got the ball on the Garnet's 30-yard line. A first down here spelled peril, and so it turned out.

In steady chunks. Bears and Dignan pushed the ball to Swarthmore's 6-yard line. On the next play. Dignan, aided by good interference, slipped around left end for the first touchdown. Caul-kins failed at goal.

A penalty led to Princeton's second touchdown scored later i the quarter. Dignan had kicked out of bounds to.

For the greater number of those spectators who owe no devotion to victorious Illinois or defeated Pennsylvania, this day has been marked as an event in their lives.

His touchdowns were but a feeble part of the role he played, his daring runs but a tithe of the feats he performed- for the success of his college, tucked away in T'rbana.

Red Scores Early This mighty warrior was summoned thirty-two times to carry the ball and all that he could gather was yards, a feat that stands unparalleled in the annals of Kastern football. To him mere yardage was nothing, he ate up the ground like an earthquake garled i.1 a warrior's raiment. The very first time that he carried the ball through the whirling, swirling huddle of hum ins he raced fifty-five yards for the first touchdown of the game, an augury of the wonderful battle he was to give Pennsylvania alone. But Grange did uior than start the whelming score perhaps, but neverthe less, the visitors would have prevailed. Great Team Behind Grange For Zuppke herded a great team out on Frankhn Field yesterday.

The wily Illinois coach came East with a Red Grange tuned up to the peak of his tremendous powers. But he also brought with him an heroic team, bur- nished to the ninth degree; a team prepared to open up the opposition for his ace, and then furnish him the prop er background: a team equipped to press on after Grange had opened the breach.
