NOTRE DAME, Oct. 22. Notre Dame defeated Nebraska here Sat urday in the moat stubbornly fought game in the history of local football, The Irish score cm in the second" period after Nebraska had previously held for four downs on the 1-yard line and after a three yard penalty within ihe 6-yard line had placed Rockne's men in a position to score. Contrary to expectation Notre Dame was unable to unlepsto Its famous forward pass in? attack. Nebraska had Mohardt and Kiley completely covered and the pair which- made 236 yards against Iowa, was forced to abandon the aerial game after completing but one pass for eight yards in eight attempts.

Nebraska completed two passes in eleven tries, the second gaining 16 yards In the last quarter, when Swanson surprised Notre Dame by passing from behind his own goal line. Three other passes attempted by the Cornhuskers, In this period, were intercepted by Wynne and H. Anderson. The. interception keeping the ball in Nebraska territory thruout the period until the end of the game.

The failure of the aerial game compelled both teams to resort to straight football, and the allround ability of the Notre Dame backfield, was the margin which won the game. Wynne played one of the best offensive games of his career and kept the fight in the Notre Dame line and was uncanny in his judgment of plays. Mohardt was well covered by the Cornhuskers but gained consistently and scored the Notre Dame touchdown on a three yard dash off tackle. Castner who was shifted to a righthalf in today's game played steady football and missed a try for a drop kick from the fifty-yard line by inches. He out-punted Lewellen and Russel by a good margin, Castner averaging 47 yards in six attempts, while Lewellen and Russel averaged thlrty-slx yards In eleven tries.

In straight football Notre Dame far outclassed the Cornhuskers making thirteen first down and 196 yafas from scrimmage, while Nebraska madeithree first downs and fifty-faur yard si from scrimmage. The Notre Damn" line played wonderful football holding the visitors without a first down in the first half and outcharg-ing and out driving the heavier Nebraska forwards thruout the Shaw was the "brighest star of the group while Hunk Anderson played good defensive ball and Intercepted a forward pass. Lyman and Weller were in most of the Cornhuskers plays. Notre Dame started well In the first quarter but two fumbles lost the ball after sustained driving had promised a march to the enemy goal. In the second quarter, a flashing attack by Wynne straight thru center and off tackle brushes by Mohardt placed the ball on the Nebraska one-yard line on the first down.

Here the Cornhuskers staged a splendid fight and threw the Irish back to the six-yard line. On the fourth down, Lewellen Intercepted a pass back of his own goal and broke the rally. Nebraska punted into Notre Dame territory where their line held and compelled Notre Dame to punt. Captain Eddie Anderson went down fast under the punt and tackled Leweller-In his tracks. The latter dropped the ball which Anderson recovered and Wynne rushed the ball to the 6-yard line.

Here 'Nebraska was penalised three yards for off side play and on the second play Mohardt dashed off tackle for the touchdown. Shaw kicked Soal. Apart from the second quarter, Notre Dame wa3skept well out of the Nebraska 20-yard line. The Notre Dame goal was never in danger thruout the game. Between the halves the record crowd of 15,000 which was attracted to the' game by the, homecoming celebration stood for one minute in silent tribute to the memory of George" Gipp.

Oct, 22. The University of Chicago defeated the Princeton football team in Belmer stadium today, to 0, gaining one of the greatest victories it has scored against an eastern team. A goal from Held and a touchdown on'a forward pass represented the score. The victory? the first earned against the so-called "big of the east by a middle-western team, gave the Chicago contingent great joy. The western triumph had not been looked for by Prlnctcn followers.

While the whole Chicago eleven played magnificent football, several men stood out, among these Milton A. Romney of Salt Lake City was the particular 'star. It was his toe that gave the westerners their three points in the second period and his catch of a forward pass in the final quarter that added six more points. He was a giant in attack, sure on defense and when it came to delivering the punch he did not fanL The game was an exhibition of straight, orthodox stuff. When Chi cago actually did try an unusuaj variation the Tigers usually broke it up.

The Princeton team was a disappointment to its followers. The team as a whole seemed to lack the spirit and dash usually shown by Tiger elevens in a big game. Chicago's first score came late in the second period. The ball was worked to within striking distance of the Princeton goal. Romney made about fifteen yards by a run around left end and a fifteen yard penalty for roughness was Inflicted against the Tigers.

Princeton also suffered, a 2-yard penalty for "asking for more time than the rules allow. This brought the ball to Princeton's 5-yard line. The Tigers held and then Romney booted a field goal from the 13-yard mark. The second score came In the last period when Halfback Cole tossed a forward pass from Princeton's 25-yard line to Romney near the 5-yard line. No one was near the Salt Lake City boy and he went ov for a touchdown.

PENN MEETS TECH Georgia Golden Toraadoea Travel Jlortk tor Grid Claak Satorday, October 29. STATE COLLEGE, Oct. 22. Back In the eighteen-sixties, Pennsylvania was called upon to put a haldt to the southern invasion of the nortbr at Gettysburg. Next Saturdar.

another southern invasions this time a friendly one will be attempted, and once more Pennsylvania will be called upon as the defender of northern honors. The Golden Tornadoes of Georgia Tech, supported by an enthusiastic crowd of rooters, will appear at the Polo Grounds In New York oity. where they will face the batteries of Hugo Bezdek's big Penn State eleven. Even in a session that has been well sprinkled with intersectional encounters on the gridiron, the Penn State-Georgia Tech game stands -out by itself. The Yellow Jackets are admittedly the best team in the south, and while Penn State may not be the best team in the north and east, Bezdek's eleven cannot be classed very far below the top.

The staging of the game on' a neutral field puts it on an absolutely equal basis and the game will undoubtedly furnish many thrills for the thousands of spectators who are expected. It is unfortunate for Penn Stat that jiue wnii yyi'ui fcia n.11 uou 'J come Just a week alter tne encounter with Harvard, for as a result, the Nit-tany Lions must make two hard trips on successive Saturdays, thus leaving a very limited amount of time in which the coaches can work up any special formations for the game with the southerners. Moreover, the fact that Penn State had to open up everything she had against Harvard today, gives the southerners a distinct ddval) l8.6 With students of obth Institutions planning to follow their teams to New York, with both institutions planning to send their replmental bands to put pep into the crowd, and with hundreds of Penn State and Georgia Tech alumni located in and around New York, the game next Saturday promises to have all the settings for a real championship battle. And frora the importance that each coaching staff has placed on this game, there is not a doubt but that both elevens-will be primed for the contest. The big question that is worrying Penn State is whether of not Captain George Snell, the veteran fullback, will be in shape to resume his old post in time for the game.

Snell was taken down wHh an abscessed throat on the eve of the game with Lehigh last week and has been in the college infirmary all this week. While his condition is greatly improved, much doubt being expressed as to his being in the lineup asrainst Goorgria Tech. The Nlttaay Linns have" -come thru the formative period of their schedule In good shap and the linecp that started against Harvard, with the exception of Hess at fullback, is probably the strongest that can be gathered together. From now on. the task of the coaches is to get the machine moving more smoothly and to eliminate the Toaeh which have bIow- i ed up the work to date.
