m. Wesleyan's Strong Attack Too Late To Beat Bowdoin Four For Touchdowns Win Maine College by 30-12 Score Brunswick. Oct. 15. (Special.) Uncorking the finest offensive game it has shown this season, Bowdoin rolled up 30 points on Weslcyan In the first half and held the visitors to ".2 points in the final two quarters to win over the JVutmeg State team, 30 to 12, here today.

Bowdoin ran Wesleyan ragged throughout the first half and for the opening seconds pf the last, but the Connecticut outfit unleashed a savage attack from then on to have the better of the going. The brilliant play of the Bowdoin backs, the flashy sky attack of both teams, particularly Wesleyan, and a 60 yard run for a touchdown by Lock-wood of Wesleyan, following his Intercepting a forward pass, were the features of the game. In the first two periods Todd and Alexander ripped great holes In the Wesleyan line and the Wesleyan team appeared helpless' to halt the advance of this pair of Polar Bears. The complexion of the game changed completely In the final two quarters as Wesleyan dashed off substantial gains through the center and around the Bowdoin ends and through the air, the while holding Bowdoin completely In check.

15. Another star ftH.shed Into (he Wcitern New England football heavens this afternoon when "ni'd" Duncan, halfback with the' Miakellko running of that other famous redhead. Grunge of Illinois, galloped 82 yards through broken field for the touchdown which put Sprlnglield College in lront of tho Conn Aggies in the fir6 quarter today and gave them the fire to carry on and turn back tho Niitnieggera 31 to 21 in a game in which thrill followed thrill and brilliant, long runs were common, Springfield's victory whs a decided upset The Red and White was 'believed strong defeiisively but lacking in sroritig punch. Connecticut had displayed a real attack in its three openini; games and also a consistent defense Dcpcntera believed the Aggies would win by nt least three touchdowns but the manner In which SprincfUld slid off the AgRles' tackles, cleaned out the secondary defense and warmed past the safety man left no doubt that the better team won today. Dofi'iine Weak, i The offense of both teams was exceptional.

But the defense of the Aggies v.ai weak, especially their secondary line, whli'h was cleaned out by the hard driving Springfield interfqence again and again. Both teams specialized in haro drive? off tackle but the aerial game was not especially successful for Springfield and fatal to Connecticut. Two of Springfield's touchdowns followed intercepted passes. Williamson running B4 yards on one and the other putting the ball In scoring position. Williams with a 65-yard run.

and a series of line smashing plays was the outstanding player for the Aggies, although Eddy featured. Ryan was strong offensively. Nordykc, with runs of 30 yards on a kickoff and 48 yards on a line spilt, Duncan with his 82-yard gallop Riid several shorter gains. Eddie Williamson with his 84-yRrd run and the kicking of Eddy proved the outstanding features of this thrilling game AsrIi-s Keep Crowd on lidge. So pro Iflc was the scoring that a crowd of almost 5,000 was kept on edge right up to the final whimle.

The Aggies, in the first four minutes ol piay, pushed Pop Williams across for a touchdown and Captain Eddy sent them one point further in front with a neat kirk. In six plays, including a 3H yard runb.ick of a touchdown by Nordyke. Springfield scored but its try for goal. Back enme the Aggies after receiving the kick and with a beautiful interference working well carried the ball to f. 18 yard line, w'tere Willi nbied and the Red and White rti.

.1. Right here the red hi i of Duncan turned the tide of tho game. On the first play he slid off tackle, cut In behind the Aggies' line away from their secondary defense and like a Grange galloped for the side line. When within a yard or two of that line he again reversed his field, shook off one or two tacklers and after he had been slapped on the back by Pop Williams, Instead of tackled, he cross-en the goal line, completing his 82 yard Journey. Again the try for point was a failure but Springfield was In tiont never to be ht-aded.

Noriljke Spills Center) The Bed and White, having thia lead of 12 to 7 in the first quarter, Increased It In the second when after a fair catch and a Hue plunge, which was followed by a penalty, puttius the ball on Springfield 39 yard line, Nordyke lunged across for the touchdown. Springfield ag.iln failed In Its try for point but the haif ended with the Azg.es on the email end of an 18 1 to 7 score. 1 It took another long run, this one the longest of the game, to put tne Red and White further into the leaa. This Holyoke boy, picking an Aggie pass out of the air on his own 16 yard line was given excellent interference by his mates and covered the whole 84 yards to the Aggies' line for the lourth touchdown. Once more a kick failed.

The Aggks would not admit that they were licked. Trailing 24 to 7 going Into the fourth quarter, with but 12 minutes to play. Captain Eddy and his mates, aided by a 22 yard forward pass Eddy to march to the seven yard line and there when the Springfield line braced Eddy faked a drop kick only to toss perfect forward to Tombart in the end zone for a touchdown. In less than ten plays Springfield got these points back. Clogstron Intercepted a pass by Eddy and the Red and White put on a running attack to send Steeves tumbling across the line.

A Minnesota eleven that failed to lose a decisive drive though opportunity presented Itself repeatedly, played to a 14-14 tie today with an Indiana team that will live lu Crimson gridiron tradition ns the team that would not be beaten Though the result-r-a tie for the contender for Western Conference honors with a team ranked heretofore as a hopeless tall-ender was sensatlonaj, the game Itself was desultory Baltimore, Oct. 15. (AP.) For Just a little more than two periods, Knute Rockne turned loose a youth named Christy Flanagan on the Navy eleven today and when the dust of the latest Indiana cyclone Irora South Bend had settled in the Baltimore stadium, Notre Dame had clinches victory in the fliet of.

the season's outstanding lnter-ses-tional football clashes. Racing to the rescue of his green-Jerseyed mates at the part of the second period when Navy had chalked up a lone touchdown lead, Flanagan personally directed the scoring of Notre Dame's first touchdown, brought the ball again almost to the Sailor goal line, and then retrred to leave the polishing off of i. 19-6 victory to jis teammates. Glory For Flanagan. And to those mates went the glory of piling up the scores after Flanagan, bright shining light in the 1-ockne offense, had demoralized a promising Navy defense with his blinding hlp-shif ting speed and general all-around potency behind the sweeping interference of the veteran 'iotre Dame backs.

Flanagan led the real Rockne offense into action after the "shock" troops, the second string lineup, failed to ho'd a young and enterprising Middie band in the first period. Once in the game, Christy took command of the situation, and Ueplayed his charging line so that Walsh, right end, was able to snatch up a punt Poliskey blocked from "Whitey" Lloyd's boot early in the third quarter to race 42 yards for a touchdown. Then Flanagan Inserted himself into the situation. Taking the next kickoff, a short hoist on his own 32 yard line, Christy zig-zigged -33 yards thrcug'3 the Navy defense, baffling tacklsrs with his change of pace until hemmed in on the Sailors' 35 yard stripe. Twice mere Flanagan took the ball, f.r.t to the ten yard line on a tweep around the Navy left end, and r.gain in a plunge through tackle left the pigskin lust five yards sho-t of the goal.

But as the weakened Nay defense massed on him for the net play, Flanagan passed the Job to ftin quarterback, Riley, who slipped -around left end for tlie score. Xiemee Scores Touchdown, Slowly petering out under the terrific drive of Rockne's forward line, Navy was no match for Flanagan or the flashing back, who took his place. John Nlemec. Picking up where Flanagan lef: off. Niemec battered through the Green Navy line for the third touchdown early in the final period and topped off the day's scoring, by drop-kicking the only extra jdcad of the game.

The hero of the unseasoned Nav? crew was a youth who came ou of the plebe team of last season, making his first bid for fame in a big Navy game. Art Spring, 18-years-old youngster from Tacoma. who hold" every promise of future stardom. It was Spring who started at halfbtick in the place of Lloyd, Navy ace, and staj-ed long enough to score Navy's points early ir the first quarter. Notre Dame outrushed the Middies' 14 firtt downs to six.

Of the 14 aerial tosses Navy made, only five were cuc-cesful. while Notre Dame completed five out of nine. Navy, however, gained 101 yards by this route to 52 for Notre Dame. The starting lineups: Notre Dame. Navy.

15. (AP.) Princeton won its third football game of ths season today by defeating Washington and Lee. 13 to 0, the victory keeping the Nassau sheet clean of liabilities, neither Amherst, Lehigh nor the Generals from Virginia today have been able to take a bite from the Tigers' tough hide. The Virginians fought doggedly against the smashing Princeton drive and but for a mental lapse probably would have escaped with only one touchdown against them. The Tiger got the jump on the boys from tx: Shenendoah Valley by scoring one touchdown in the first period bclpre trie visitors had found their way about the field.

This represented the differ ence until the third period, when the General? gave the home team the ball in scoring distance without any ef fort on the part of the Tigers. The Generals held the ball too long when they waited until the fourth down to kick and when the punt fail ed materialize Princeton got the ball aha a touchdown with it. Eddio Wittmer, who showed the speed of a racing car and the body of a truck, assumed the burden of carrying the ball for Princeton in th eany stages of the game. Every four out of five times he had the ball when the forward movement started. After mak ing th." touchdown the authorities evl dentiy decided he had done his chor and lie was given a rest, a sophomore with jed hair, "Red" Owen, taking hi place by his side and giving him a substantial lift at intervals.

Spotts played a consistently good game with his hands for Washington, although his toe did not respond so readily to his demands when he found it necessary to kick in the early part of the game. He was better as the contest went on its way, kicking effectively from behind his goal line twice in the final period. Barnett, a sophomore substitute, shared the Washington anc Lee backfleld honors with Spotts. Summary: Wash. fc Lee.

One play was sufficient for the Blue and Caldwell kicked back to a Law- rence slipped oft tackle twice for six yards and Cornsweet recorded the first down of the contest by a five-yard dive. Yale held, however, and Randall was compelled to punt again, Hoben being in his tracks by Towle on the Blue 20-yard line." A tackle slash by Caldwell netted five yards and Cox broke away for a 14-yard sprint.

Hoben failed to gain and Caldwell kicked again to Randall, 24 yards out from his goal. Lawrence was given the ball by Brown and fumbled a high pass which QuaiTier covered and Yale was only 16 yards from a touchdown. Even the masterful Caldwell found the Brown line still strong, however, and Yale had jto give up the ball on the eight-yard line. Randall kicked to Yale's 40-yard mark only to see another Blue phalanx dash upon his "Iron Men." Caldwell started the attack by hurling to Scott for an 18-yard advance and followed this with two plunges that carried Irlm to the 28-yard line and a first down. Hoben added only a yard and Cox, attempting to go around Towle, lost four, but another pat Caldwell to Scott, made it first down at Brown's 14-yard mark.

Hoben failed to gain, Cox made three and Caldwell four. On the fourth down a pass from Caldwell directly across thcline found no Yale man waiting and again the Yale drive had failed. After two line plays Randall was forced to boot, t) ball going offside at the BHie's 45-yard mark, and still again the Yale eleven marched toward victory. Hoben dashed around Brown's left end for nine yards, stepped offside on the next p.ay and sprinted four yards more for a first down. Cox, following splendid Interference, slipped around left end again and raced to the Brown 22-yard line as the period ended.

Hoben had to step offside again on the opening play of the second period in order to gain a better position and Caldwell continued the attack with a 1 2-yard sprint to the Brown 12-yard mark, the third time Yale had In scoring position. It was first down at this point and Caldwell again was called upon, his effort advancing three yards. Decker was smeared and Caldwell added four. From the five-yard line, on fourth down, Yale was set back five yards for delay In the huddle and the ball went to Brown when another pass by Caldwell over the goal line was Incomplete. After Lawrence had sprinted through Yale for 14 yards the Blue wall held and Randall punted to Hoben on the Blue 40-yard mark.

Caldwell and Cox negotiated a first down but after Caldwell had to kick to Randall at the Brown 25-yard point. Brown bore into Yale with renewed vigor, Cornsweet faring forth for nine yards In two tries and Edwards making It first down at the 42-yard mark with an advance of eight. Randall, attempting a dash- through tackle, fumbled again and Caldwell, snapping up the ball near the sidelines, raced to Brown 23-yard line. From this point Caldwell carried the ball five times and on the fifth crossed the last mark, the first time in four chances that Yale had shown the punch to score Hurling passe- desperately with a very short time to play in this period, Brown suffered two penalties, not one of the Randall shots finding friendly arms and the half ended with the 6 to 0 In favor of Yale. The rest of the story is found in the successes of Caldwell and Hummeisley in the fi nal period.

Instead of eleven piayers, the number required to defeat Yale, 7 to 0, a year ago. Tuss McLaughry to forwara wall, quit. He knew not when to A (aiiie ISnttle. And the powerful, game Brown line fought throughout for every inch but could not match the power of the flaming-haired Sidney Quarrler, burly Max Eddy, Captain Bill Webster, "Flr-po" Greene and Dud Charlesworth. This Charlesworth, supplanting Berry Ryan at center, played a slashing battle and when Cornsweet bore through in his bull-like rushes he usually advanced only so far as the impact carried the Yale pivot man who clujched Turn abouj the body.

That Charlesworth passed perfectly Is told In the fact that Vale made not a single fumble during the game. In fact, only once did Yale's handling of the ball, stressed in practice since the beating at the hands of Georgia a week ago, fall of perfection. In the third period a toss from Caldwell fell into the arms of Scott, then through them to the ground, but the Yale end was surrounded by opponents and the muff did not come at a crucial point. Yale Ends Active. Dwight Fi-hwick and Scott produced a strong, steady game on the wings for thii Blue and saw action in every play.

smeared all attempts to clear their positions but their tackling Just failed of par when dropping the re celvers of punts. However, the Yale forwards were dow1 the field so fait that the ends' failure only sieezed the enemy into the big fellows' nands. Brown's Rally. Brown staged one thritrmg drive and for five minutes in the third period it appeared the score would at least be tied. The opportunity came after an exchange of kicks which found, the "Iron Men" in possession of the b.tll a I midfleld.

On the third down with yards to go, Randall dropped a short pass directly over the line to Coin-sweet for a first down and then Cornsweet, Randall and Lawrence tore their way to the Yale six-yard mark. Here the Brown captain deemed to try fcr the touchdown himself and he mulled the ball after cross rg the scrimmage line and when the bodies were untangled Caldwell was hugging the precious leather for Yale.
