The Quakers won their opening game, 28 to 21, but not before they had been sent to their dressing room at half-time, trailing 14 to 7. In the neighborhood of 30,000 spectators who sweltered beneath a mid-summer sun were rewarded. They saw a seven-touchdown game that bristled with sensational action and was studded wtih spectacular plays. Penn achieved four DEFEATS NEBRASKA (28), Burke (22).

Oct. 2 The glory of Pfann and Kaw came back to Cor nell and Cayuga's waters today. The big Red team from Ithaca ran rough shod over the Red Raiders of Col gate, turning the battle Into a rout before sunset fell on Schoellkopf Field.

Picked by many as the underdog, Cornell crushed a veteran Colgate team 40 to 7 as 18,000 spectators paid their tribute to the best Cornell team In many, many years.

(A Hal Price Headley 's Champagne Stakei winner, Menow, today won the 48th Futurity, richest race In the world for two-year-olds, establishing a new world record 1.15 1-5 lor six and a hall furlongs. The strapping son of Pharamond 2nd Alci-btadfs made his own pace down the long straight Widener course and hit the wire four lengths on top, an easy winner. Tiger, championship aspirant owned by the Milky Way Farm of Mrs. Ethel V. Mars, barely earned the place In a photo finish with William Woodward's Fighting Fox.

S56.825 PURSE With the $56,825 he won today, Menow replaced Tiger as the leading money-winning Juvenile of the year with earnings of $65,825. Twice fceat-en by Tiger In the West, the Lexington-owned colt has won three of his six starts. Coupled with Bourbon King and Dah He, Menow was i close second choice at 9 to 5 in the field of one dozen crack youngsters. Tiger, an entry with Mountain Ridge, ruled favorite at 7 to 5. DISMISSES CLAIM A claim of foul was lodged against the Headley entry by Alfred Robertson, who rode Tiger.

"Robhy" asserted that Bourbon King hit him st the three-sixteenths pole, but the stewards, after due deliberation, decided to dismiss the foul. A crowd of approximately 22,000, as compared to last year's throng of about 3000 less, braved a threat of rain to witness the final card of the successful meeting. It was hazy and dull all afternoon but the track was at its best. The former world's record for the distance over a straight course was 1.16 2-5, made by Pompey In the 1936 Futurity. Menow's mark also tops all previous marks made over a course with turns.

Menow carried 119 pounds, seven less than Tiger. JOCKEY PRAISES MOUNT Charlie Kurtsinger, who rode War Admiral to victory In the Derby. Preakness and Belmont Stakes triple frown this season, was astride Mennw. After the race the "Flying Dutchman" from Louisville said Menow was the best Juvenile he ever rode. Tiger drew down $7800 for finishing second; Fighting Fox, Gallant Fox's full brother, $4400 for third, and Mountain Ridge, Tiger's partner, (1000 for fourth.

It was also the first futurity victory for owner Headley and trainer Duval Headley, sorrel-topped nep-lif of the owner. Menow had the speed of the field nd clearly outran his classy rivals.

GIANTS HITTING BETTER Aiding and abetting this command In the "clutch" are the continued batting bombardment and improved pitching on the part of the Yanks through the 1937 campaign, and the Giants' tight defense and newly found hitting might. Those factors, important in themselves, serve to emphasize the manner in which both clubs dominated their respective regular season league races by getting "hot" when heat was needed.

Mlnneosota's dream of marching to its fourth successive mythical Na-ional football championship exploded in an upset today that rocked tha gridiron world. In sunbaked Memorial Stadium be. fore a sell-out, crowd of 36,000 frenzied spectators. Nebraska conquered the mighty Gophers, hitherto defeated only once in three years, 14 to 9. The result left the spectators, sweltering In midsummer heat, stunned and bewildered as they watched Minnesota ground into defeat, after losing only one In Its 33-game gridiron parade that started In 1932.

Turner allowed the Wilsonmen but eight scattered hits. His opponent, Earl Allen, who was recalled from the minors, was given wretched support, the Phillies making five errors behind him.
