the Christians were on a mad rampage with first down on the Mustang 35 yard line. Game An Upset It was something of an upset due to the fact that Texas Christian was a consensus favorite because of injuries to M. Harry Shuford, fullback and J. C. Wetsel, star guard.

Wetsel played a part of the game but Shuford was not in uniform. But it is a tradition that Southern Methodist always rises to the occasion when its back is against the wall-- it was that way today and no Southern Methodist team ever won a more convincing or greater victory. It was a game of stars and they glittered throughout. Slinging Sammy Baugh the passing man for Texas Christian threw 44 passes and completed 17 of them. There littls to choose between the powerful running Bob ert' Wilson, Southern firtrkxlist's all- American candidate, and Shelley ripping and tearing half back, smacked the Christian forward -wall and wings for badly needed yardage at crucial moments.

Wilson was impressive in his supreme all-American bid. Truman Spain, giant tacWe, played great all-American game at tackle for the Mustangs. Darrell Lester, towering Texas Christian center opened gaping holes for his backs, but they couldn't elude the Southern Methodist 'secondary. After allowing Southern Methodist to steal away to a 14 to 0 lead. the Christians turned on the heat to come back and tie the score in the fourth period, but the Methodists had the stuff to come back in the fading minutes to grasp victory.

In that period it ground out four touchdowns to register the biggest score Princeton has ever plastered on Yale in the 62 years of the series. The crowd was estimated at close to 60,000. Larry Kelly, the elusive and loquacious Yale end, who caught the touchdown pass last year that resulted in Princeton's only defeat of the 1934 season, spared the Eli a whitewashing- Early in the fourth period, Kellay took a position in the corner of the end zone and caught a long, looping 30 yard pass thrown by Jerry Eoscoe. Midway through the second period Ken Sandbach kicked a 15 yard field goal from placement and then several' minutes later skitterly Jack White, a reserve Tiger back, scored the first touchdown; in the fourth period White tallied again: Captain Pepper Constable scored twice and Sandbach contributed a touchdown. Sandbach kicked all five points after touchdown.

Except for the touchdown in the second period, which resulted from a 40 yard drive, the honors were almost even in the first half. Each team scored four first downs and Princeton gained 78 yards rushing to 52 for Yale. In the second half Princeton completely dominated the play, rolling up nine first downs to Yale's four and outraining the blues 154 yards to 54.

The Princeton season game oy letter was from Burnham N. Dell, chairman of the council of athletics, to H. C. Wfflett, chairman of the Pacific Coast conference. "Princeton alumni and undergraduates have been greatly disturbed." it said, "by the manner in which a recent editorial of the Daily Prince- tonian.

the undergraduate paper, has misrepresented the attitude the university toward the annual Rose Bowl football game. "The viewpoint of the editorial is not that of the athletic authorities of Princeton, and I am writing to make this clear to you." Dell added that Princeton authorities would consider it an honor to be listed as a team worthy of competing in the Rose Bowl but hastened to add that the school has been governed by a policy that is opposed to post-season games. "Princeton authorities have never questioned the character of the management of the Rose Bowl," he concluded. "And dissociate these any such charges."

'ired all its long range scoring ammunition today in the first 20 minutes but the results were sufficient-' devastating to give the cadets an unexpectedly overwhelming lead and offset a spectacular comeback by the Vlidshipmen.

West Point's warriors emerged badly battered but triumphant, 28 to 6, in an extraordinary struggle for service football supremacy, before a crowd of 81,000 that filled Franklin field. Army's margin was the biggest in 32 years, exceeded only by the 40 to rout of the Navy away back in 1903, but it exaggerated the difference between two teams that alternated in turning loose attacks of terrific intensity. Bewildered and shell shocked by an Army barrage that produced better than a point--minute at the outset of the game, the Midshipmen came back to dominate the play completely in the last half. trouble with' the Navy's counter- thrust was that it didn't have the scoring punch to capitalize repeated opportunities and the Sailors consequently yielded the honors gained so brilliantly on the same gridiron a year ago. Strike Early Led by the speedy Ed (Whitey) Grove and the versatile Charles (Monk) Army's regulars struck with such fire and accuracy that they settled the game in the first period.

Less than three utes after the kickoff and on their second play after getting possession of the ball, the Cadets shook Grove loose the sidelines for 80 yards and a touchdown. The same Grove took a 23-yard pass from Meyer and ran ten yards unmolsted for another tally. Shortly, Clint (Tarzan) True was on the receiving end of a 12-yard pass from Meyer and raced 30 yards for the touchdown. was accomplished in less than the full 15 minutes of the opening period while the Navy's followers sat stunned by the proceedings. But they were no more bewildered than the blue shirted players from Annapolis who were obviously demoralized for the time being, unable to pull themselves together with the aid of repeated replacements and easily beaten back by a 43-yard drive that produced Army's final touchdown early in the second quarter- Bill Grohs, Cadet field general bucked over for the fourth tally from the two-yard line after Meyer reeled off several brilliant runs.

Grove booted his fourth successive placement for the extra point and ran his total contribution up to 16 points for the day. The picture changed with equally startling swiftness in the second half. Launching a savage counter attack, the Midshipmen ran wild, with Jack Schmidt the spearhead of a succession of thrilling drives, but penalties, intercepted passes and fumbles kept the Navy team from taking full advantage of gains by land and air thai; they were calculated to wipe out most of Army's tremendous marginfl Navy Comes Back Under terrific pressure and tiring rapidly, Army's "iron men" cracked, and, one by one, limped off the field during the final half but their gallant defense was sufficient to stop all but one of Navy's smashing charges.
