Nov Frank ax -Ent. Mass. State Has Unbeaten Record Smeared By Springfield, 21 to 3 Notre Dame's football hurricane swept the Quakers from Pennsylvania right into a storm cellar today and burled them under an astounding 49 to 0 defeat. The one-sided triumph for the "fighting Irish," which boosted their long victory string to 25 in 26 combats, came after probably the best display of offensive power ever witnessed on the home battlefield, before 35,000 spectators. Holding the vjiuamia wiuiiuub uiuun ei.ui except for a mild threat that carried into their 33 yard line at the start of the third period, then men of Notre Dame scored almost at will.

The first team piled up 21 points in the first two periods. The seconds took up the baton in the last half and completed the rout by rolling up four more touchdowns on their dazed and battered foes, who had ridden into the West with an undefeated record. The rout of the Quakers was nine points worse than the one staged by the Rockne raiders on Penns home lot a year ago. when they dazzled their foes with a 60 to 20 victory. Even today's score might have been higher, for twice the Irish backs ploughed to within easy scoring distance only to lose their chance bv penalties, which set them back 40 yards during the afternoon's track meet.

If ever the critics agreed Notre Dame of 1931 was on a par, or better than the undefeated elevens of 1929 and '30, and the immortal four horsemen of 1924. it was today. Pennsylvania threw up a strongter battle line than a year ago, they all agreed, despite the loss of two star ends, but after the first period the great Quaker line sagged and wavered, unable to stop the fury of the South Bend hurricane, From the( line of scrimmage alone, the Irish backs gained 390 yards to but 30 for the Quakers, while the variance in first downs was 16 to 3 in Notre Dame's favor. Marchmont Schwartz started the Notre Dame victory march. After a few thrusts.

Schwartz took the ball on a delaved buck and smashed the Quaker ramparts through his own. right tackle for 16 yards and a touchdown. Jackwhlch kicked the extra point from placement. Joe Sheeketski immediately went through the same spt. for 46 yards and another score.

Sheeketski reeled off the mct yardage from the line of scrimmage. He lugged the ball 7 times for 77 yards, or an average of 11 yards a thrust. Schwartz averaged 4.4 yards a try, Koken averaged 5.7 and Ray Bran-cheau, another averaged 61 yards. Carl Perina, Pennsylvania's great fullback, was stopped in his tracks mot of the afternoon, averaged but 14 yards a try. Mast of the Quaker linesmen were badly shell-shocked and Bob McCafferv, Quaker guard, was carried off the field in a stretcher with a badly wrenched shoulder.

Eay For Cornell. Ithaca. N. Cornell's undefeated football team took a breather today in its defeat of the light by scrappy Alfred football aggregation 54 to 0. 1 These are sure signs that spark plugs are worn out 'funs mm Olympic Stadium, Los Angeles, Nov.

7. (AP.) Southern California advanced a long stride toward the Pacific coast conference football championship by defeating Stanford 19 to 0 today before a crowd. estimated at 95,000 persons. The largest assembly to witness a football game in Los Angeles saw the Trojans of Southern California display a powerful attack with which the alert but less sturdy Indians from Stanford could not cope. The players of Howard Jones and followers as well of Southern California awaited with fearsome anticipation some wizardy from Glenn Warner and not untily the game was over was the fear dissipitated that the veteran "Pop" might begin at any minute to pull rabbits out of any available helmets.

The old magician introduced a clever hidden ball that baffled the home team but it was not enough to manufacture a touchdown. Southern California scored once in each' period, except the third. When the visitors developed a sustained running attack and outplayed the winners. Thomas Ashworth Selected To Head Bay State Loop Springfeild, Nov. 7.

Western Maryland Green terrors, crippled by the loss of seven regulars, made a gallant, stand against the powerful Eagles of Boston College today but were nosed out in the final period, 19 td 13. Westerjt Maryland got away to a flying start when Jimmy Dunn, fleet halfback, raced 35 yards around right end and then fought 20 yards through a broken field from an off tackle slash to score about midway the first period. The Eagles, however, recovered a terror fumble on the Western Maryland 20 and evened the count when Joe Kelly scored on line bucks.

The second Boston touchdown came on a sustained drive from midfield, in which Dougan did most of the gaining, finally plunging over from the five yard line. Western Maryland evened the fumble count a few minutes later when Dunne recovered an Eagle miscue and the Terrors scored.

Aggie eleven here this afternoon and inflicted the worst defeat that has been suffered by a Storrs team in many years when they strode off the field after the final whistle with a 49 to 0 victory in their grasp. Conquered only once this season and that time when it went out of its class to play Harvard, the New Hampshire team, after a slow start, quickly went into high gear and after being held to a single touchdown during the first half, broke loose for four markers in the third period and three in the final quarter to completely put the Dolemen to rput.

Aggies Start Strong. The Aggie eleven with three of its regulars, Pierce, Nichols and Levitow on the sidelines started like a whirlwind. During the first period when Coach Cowell was using his shock troops, the Aggies easily outplayed the visitors but lacked the necessary punch for a touchdown. The Wildcats were never dangerous during this time and made only three yards from scrimmage. The Aggies, mixing its forward pass attack with running plays, marched inside the New Hampshire 15 yard line but the attack bogged down and the Aggies lost the ball on downs.

The New Hampshire "shock troops' were relieved at the begining of the second quarter and the full fledged wildcats were held to even terms by the tiring Aggie men until just before the period 'ended. Interference with the pass receiver gave New Hampshire a chance for its first score. Slack heaved a long pass to Knox and it was awarded to New Hampshire en the Aggies 15 yard stripe. Wodd then cracked the line for a couple of yards and Eustus went off tackle on a de-laved play that carried him to the two yard line. The Aggie iine held Eustus in his first charge but he made the necessary distance in the second attempt.

Slack then place kicked the extra point. The remaining minutes were spent in midfield. Wildcats Break Loose. The Aggies never had a chance in the last half. After Eddy kicked oif, Hafney outsmarted the Aggie defense by kicking on down and the ball was grounded on Connecticut's one yard line.

Eddy, kicking fronr behind his own goal line punted to the 24 yard stripe. Haphey then went around end for 19 yards. Curtis on a reverse carried It to the one yard line and Eustus went off tackle to score. This started the rout. After the kickoff the Wildcats opened up a passing attack that clicked four times in a row for another touchdown.

The Wildcats then backed the Aggies up against their own goal line aa'i when Eddy's kick was blocked, Graf-fan picked up the ball and went over the goal line untouched. New Hampshire finals touchdown in this perud came when Eustus heaved a pass from his own 45 yard line to Graf-fan who caught it on the Asc.es' 4n yard stripe and outraced the field over the goal line. New Hampshire used plenty of substitutes during the final period against the beaten Aggie machine. Henry Lane furnished the most excitement during this time with two good pieces of broken field running that ended In touchdowns. The first time he broke loose on the Connecticut 15 yard line and the second time he was shaken free on the Aggies' 25 yard line.

George Jacques scored the final touchdown when he broke around the Aggies' right end in a 40 yard dash.

The Gymnasts maintained such close tabs on Louis Bush, leading scorer of the nation, that State's sophomore back rarely made a 10 yard advance, even though risky laterals were used in an effort toshake him loose.

Rushing plays availed little, whereupon Captain Fos- kett of the invaders toed a superb placement kick from the 35 yard line to hand his team a 3 to 0 margin.
