New Records Established In.Agawam Biggest Crowd of Meet Bets Feature Race Captured by Prof. Paul Agawam, Oct.

26. (Spe cial.) Professor Paul, chestnut geld ing son of Justice Gosey, a horse that has disappointed at Agawam Park to date, came into his own this afternoon when he won the $5000 Suffield Handicap, next to the last big stake race before the meeting closes Tuesday. With a crowd of more than 25,000 looking on, said to be the largest of the meeting, Professor Paul showed his heels to a flying group of two-year-olds by two and one-half lengths. He was last all the way to the final turn but once the stretch was reached, Bob Wholley made his move with the star of the string of Mrs. J.

Chesney. Professor Paul responded with a blazing burst of speed to pass first one favorite and then the other and win handily. Bright Plumage, from the C. V. Whitney stables, was heavily backed at 3-5.

The brown colt, Al Robertson up, also came like a streak at the finish to win the place by a nose over Faust from the stable. Faust and Above- board set the early pace but they didn't have the speed to stand off Professor Paul and Brjgnt Plumage. The winner closed at 10-1 and paid the neat price of $24 on a $2 straignt ticket, ine race was worm $3810 to the winner. The daily double paid $148.40 to 68 persons from a pool of $11,254. A total of $42,231 was wagered on the feature race, to smash all records for a single event at this park.

KEAXE.

Storrs, Oct. Long distance and accurate forward passing by Micky Kobrosky and brilliant "snake hips" running by little "Red" O'Malley combined into a 26 to 13 victory for Trinity over a plucky Conn. State eleven this afternoon. The Nutmeg rivals jammed enough thrills into the first half of their battle to keep a crowd of SfiOn nrhirh frnm tho stands to the sidelines on Gardiner Dow field, on edge. Trinity's speed, its well-drilled passing attack and the ability of its ball carriers to go places swung the pendulum of victory to the Biue and Gold.

State Rallies. Trinity scored three touchdowns in the first 15 minutes of play, be-wildering the Statesmen with the aerials hurled by Kobrosky and the broken field running of O'Malley. Then the Statesmen snapped out of their daze and with the score 19 to 0 in Trinity's favor waed such a plucky fight that the sympathies of the crowd swung to them. Lacking a passing attack the Statesmen were forced to batter their way across the goal line and twice in the second quarter they counted to make the score 19 to 13 when the teams left the field at the half way mark. In the second half the football was far less spectacular than that played, in the first half and only once in the half hour did either score.

Trinity counted in the third period with a touchdown wihch literally clinched its triumph. It was Trinity's superiority in the overhead game which brought victory to the Blue and Gold its fifteenth consecutive without defeat. Each team scored eight first downs and in rushing the ball the Trinity eleven gained 164 yards to 154 for State. But in the aerial display which Kobroskv put on for the benefit of the "Dad's Day" crowd is found the reason for State's defeat. Trinitv threw 23 passes and completed 11 of them for pains of 173 State tried seven passes, comoleted but one and gained but ten yards.

The 163 yards difference in ground gained in this style of play tells the story of the game better than words. Kobrosky Stars. Not in vears has a forward passer secured the results on Gardiner Dow field which Kobrosky did this afternoon. Trinity won the toss and chose to attack with a terrific wind whipping down the field at its back. Thefc-ind undoubtedly aided Kobroskv in.

getting distance on his aerials. Before half the of 500C had entered the f'eld Trinity hac1 scored its first touchdown and Kobroskv had amazed th Connecticut team with a 55 yard rjass front his own 31 yard line which snuggled into O'Ma'ley's arms on the 15 vard strire and "Red" st-eaked across the line for touchdown number one. Kobrosky let go with one oi the longest forward passes evei seen in a game here. Standing oil his own 20 yard line, after fadin back to receive a lateral pass, the Trnity artilleryman took aim and fired. High over the heads of the, Connecticut line, over the heads of the Statesmen's secondary defense the Dass travelled.

O'Malley was waiting for it on State's ten yard line and again it brought a touchdown. The oars actually travelled 60 yards in the air. O'Malley Runs 70 Yards. This was enough to bndly rattle the State team and a few plays later the fleet-footed O'Malley ran 70 yards from scrimmage for touchdown number three. O'MallfV started to circle his own loft end.

Only by playing with undaunted courage and by cutting loose the strings to its bag of tricks did Yale keep from being outclassed as well as outplayed. Overcome by greater man power though it was, Yale was still good enough to be pecking and pounding away through the closing minutes of the game for a touchdown that would have meant a tie or a triumph. Yale Starts Poorly.

Yale's number was up right from the beginning. The Army took the opening kickoff, one of those deliberately short boots with which Yale gambles to prevent a long run-back. The shortness of the kickoff enabled Army to launch its first drive from its own 41-yard line. Two running plays and a flatpass brought the Cadets to the Eli 40 and, from that point, "Monk" Meyer struck suddenly through the air. Running wide to the right as if to sweep the end, Meyer suddenly whipped a long, down -field pass Into Yale's left halfback zone.

Tow-headed Ed Grove was there to make a fine catch on Yale's "20" and run 10 yards more for a first town 10 yards from pay dirt, Yale Holds Fast. A touchdown seemed imminent, but this time Yale stood its ground and took the ball on downs on its own five-yard line. Whitehead kicked out and Bill Grohs ran It back 12 yards to the Eli 38-yard stripe. Again Yale braced, forcing Meyer to kick. Whitehead's return kick from the Yale five-yard line was a feeble effort that went outside eight yards from the scrimmage line.

It was Army's ball on the Yale 20-yard line. This time it didn't seem that the hard-hitting soldiers could possibly be stopped, but the fighting Elis did it again, taking the ball on downs a scant four yards from their own goal line. Whitehead kicked out again from his end zone and Grohs, catching the punt on Yale's "42," ran It back smartly to the Ell 26-yard mark. Meyer Gets Off Pass. Army was too powerful to be denied any longer.

After two running plays had gained only two yards, Meyer unleashed another of those eye-filling passes on the dead run, Groves made a leaping catch over near the sidelines and was forced out for a first down on the Yale six-yard line. Without further delay, Meyer took the ball and sprinted wide around Bob Train's end to score standing up after some of the most effective blocking the Bowl spectators will see this season. Grove promptly place-kicked the goal to make the score Army 7, Yale 0. Yale Starts Long March. The Bulldogs showed their courage and skill in the next few m'n-utes.

They took the Army kickoff and, after a 16-yard runback by Jerry Roscoe to his own 23 yard line, drove 77 yards to a touchdown. Tommy Curtin, almost forgotten since the advent of sophomore stars, had replaced Clint Frank. It was Curtin who started the drive by an eight-yard romp through le't tackle. The next play was a breath-taking 33-yard forward pass play from Jerry Roscoe to Larry Kellcy. Hurried and driven backward by a slashing Army line, Roscoi ran In circles until he found his opening.

Far down the field, Kellcy made a great, leaping catch that gave Yale a first down on Army's 37-yard line. Yale drove out another first down on sharp, short gains Just as the first quarter closed. With Fvoscoe and Whitehead diving into the Army front for short gains, the Ells ground out another first down on Army's "14." Then Roscoe took the bail and faded backward, harried again by a swarm of gold-helmeted Army men. Again he ran this way and that to escape clutching enemy hands. Finally he let go with everything he had.

Larry Kelley, covered by smart Army defenders, had run deep lHto the Army end zone and he made another spectacular jumping catch to come down in the end tone and inside the sideline by a matter of Inches It was the kind (Concluded on Pace 6. This See.) Boston College Wins Over New Hampshire Newton. Oct, 26. (AP.) Boston College jumped on New Hampshire 19-6 here today in the first game between these teams in 30 years. BC took a lead in the first period and maintained a comfortable margin throughout the contest.

To open the scoring, Vin Keough, BC center, intercepted a pass on his own 19, carried to the 37, and then tossed a lateral to Bill Huxley, who raced 63 yards for the tally. In the second period BC drove from its own 33 to the visitors' 0. Then Avery scored standing up. Furbush converting with a place kick. New Hampshire scored in the final half.

Taking the ball on the BC eight yard line, Martin Verville on the first play from scrimmage ran around left end for the touchdown.

(AP.) A scrappy band of Tartans from Carnegie Tech, overcoming the odds against them with a sparkling, accurate aerial attack, came out of the East today to whip the Purdue Boilermakers 7 to 0 and stun a homecoming crowd of 17,000.

Turned back on the one-foot line in the first period, the Carnegie fighting engineers bottled up the high-powered Boilermakers' offense in scoring territory, then uncorked a perfect forward pass irk the final period to score their first victory over Purdue in a. four-game inter-sectional series. Backed up to their 25-yard line by a Purdue punt, the Skibos sent Jerry Matelan through the line for five yards, then the 159-pound Pittsburgh halfback faded back and tossed a long pass to Gene Rosenthal, his running mate. Rosenthal hauled in the ball on the Purdue 45 and outsprinted the Boilermaker defenders in a dash for the goal line. Charles Spisak, Carnegie quarterback, added the point With a place-kick as Matelan held the ball for him.

26. fAP.I Rhode Island State won its first home game this year when it beat the United States Coast Guard Academy, 13 to 7, in a hard-fought football game here today. All the points came in a wild second period. The Coast Guard, held on the one-inch line in the opening quarter, scored early in the second period when Land broke through left tackle for a 29-yard jaunt and the touchdown. Cass kicked the exira point.

State'I two scores came on sustained marches of 80 and 55 yards. Casey and Mudge scored the touch downs and Kcaney added one extra point by a placement kick.

Northeastern opened the scoring at the start of the second period when Hakanson, a track star, caught Caveney's punt on his own 28-yard line and carried it back 72 yards for a touchdown. During the third period Athanas fed Cav-eney a series of forward passes to get up to Northeastern's three-yard line from where the former plunged for the only Lowell score. Mahaffey came in for Hakanson late in. the game and, with Hart assisting him, drove 40 yards to Lowell's two-yard line before going over for the second Northeastern I touchdown.

State, is being stopped by Discovery Is Fourth In Maryland Handicap Laurel, Oct. 26. (AP.) One hundred and thirty-eight pounds weighed heavily on Discovery today and the Vanderbilt sensation went down to defeat in the $10,000 Maryland handicap in fourth place, more than five lengths back, of the winner. Walter M. Jeffords' 3-year-old colt Pirethorn, carrying 119 pounds, raced to a three-length victory in the mile and a quarter feature to pay backers $14 for $2.

Second by a nose was Count Arthur with only one third, two lengths ahead of the heavily-weighted Discovery. The secondary feature, the $3500 Spalding Lowe Jenkins handicap over a mile distance for 2-year-olds and up, went to Greentree Stable's Memory Book by a length and a half. Maeriel was second by two lengths and Ned Reigh third by five lengths. Michigan Strikes Early To Defeat i Columbia Lions Wolverines Score Twice in First Five Minutes of Play New York, Oct. The first invasion of the big town by a University of Michigan football team was crowned with success today when the Maize and Dark Blue warriors, out-weighing their opponents by more than 20 pounds to the man, defeated the Columbia Lions.

19 to 7, at Baker field before a near capacity crowd of 34.000. The big raiders from the Midwest put the game on Ice in the first five minutes of play when they put across two touchdowns to roll up a lead of 12 to 0. Columbia buckled down to business thereafter and outrushed and the Wolverines but fate and fumbles, not to mention several off-side penalties, contrived to keep Michigan in front. Johnny Hudasky fumbled the opening kickoff and the ball was recovered by Michigan on the Lion's 15. Renner flipped a pass to Smith-ers for a gain of 12 yards and then, in two cracks at the line, Smi there went over for the first touchdown.

A couple of minutes later the Lions were forced to kick. Chris Everhardus caught McMahon's weak punt on Columbia's 40 and outeprinted four Columbia players in pursuit to the goal line. It looked like a lop-sided victory for Michigan until Al Barabas got loose in the first four minutes of the third period and ran 74 yards to a touchdown and then converted for the extra point. A few minutes later the Wolverines scored their third and last touchdown. Held fast on Columbia's six-yard line for three plays.

Renner faded back ten yards and threw a pass to Johnson, substitute end, who was deep In the end tone. men's 15-yan' marker, where the Purple clan shattered the drive to take the ball when try by Johnson went wide of the posts. The Cardinals smashed deep into territory early in the third period, sever passes with Kemp Burton most often on the throwing end bringing the ball to the Jeffmen's "six" but the Amherst array again spiked the drive, taking the ball when the Nutmeg Staters' aerial attack at last fizzled and kicking out of danger with Pat-tengill lifting a long spiral. "Swede" Hultine, right and, was the sorry Weslewan victim on both of Wanze's long touchdown-producing runs, charging in too close when the speedy Negro back, taking the ball, first from Cristman and the second time from Snowball, set sail for the Cardinal goal line on his 'ong romps. Cristman and Snowball both times plucked the ball from under center half spun and "salted" it in the arms of Wanzo who crashed off the.

Cardinals' left wing from a right halfback position in both his romps into "pay dirt." Wesleyan went frequently "into the air" in desperate attempts to pierce the "Jeffs' end zone, Kemp Burton flinging most of the aeria's, but failed throughout to threaten seriously the Amherst citadel. Burton. Home, O'Leary and Fill-back were stand-outs for the outclassed Wesleyan team, while the brilliant Wanzo, Snowball and Pat-tengin were the Purple's brilliants.

Amherst. Oct 26. The purple-clad Lord Jeffs of Amherst wrote today an uninterestingchap-ter in hoary New England football history, whipping a sadly outclassed Wesleyan football team, 26 to 0, on Pratt Field in the forty-third renewal of the "Little Three" gridiron series which had its Inception in 1882. A crowd of 'slightly more than 3500 watched the Amherst team blast the Nutmeg State invaders of its stronghold in the picturejque Berkshire hills. Amherst, fought to a deadlock in the first half, crashed into the Cardinals' end zone late in the third period with Elvin Wanzo, fleet Negro back, wheeling for 40 yards off the Nutmeg Staters' right flank on a half spinner and reverse play to set the leather six yards from the Wesleyan goal line, and a moment later crashing through the Cardinals' left guard for a touchdown.

The Purple team routed the Connecticut team in the fourth period, scoring a second touchdown when Wanzo, wheeling away on the sami baffling half-splnner and reverst which brought the first rcore, scampered off the Cardinals' right wing on a 27 yards romp for a touchdown and Snowball, hard-runnin? Lord Jeff fullback, tore off his left tackle a few minutes later on a 30-yards scamper which carried hirr. into the Middletowners' end zone. O'Donnell swept off the Cardinal right wing on a 22 yards sprint for a touchdown late In the fourth period. Amherst was once close to the Wesleyan goal In the first pe riod when interference with a forward pass receiver gave the Lord Jeffs the leather on the CardlnaV 18 yards line and Snowball later smashed it to the "12" where the Nutmeg Staters held on downs, and Wofleyan once threatened in the second period when runs by Home and Fillbeck and a Johnon to O'Leary to Burton pass put the Cardinal team Just isslda tht JeU- Ithaca, N. Oct.

26. (AP.) Princeton's hard-running backs, operating behind a line that split Cornell's lighter forward wall to pieces, rang up eight touchdowns in the last three periods for a 54-0 v'ctory over the Ithacans on Schoellkopf Field today. It was the biggest Tore in the 24 game series and was the Tigers 17th victory. Fifteen thousand saw Cornell stop the Tigers cold for four touchdowns on the Jour yard line in the opening quarter, but a barrage of three touchdowns in the first five minutes of the second period set off a Pr'nceton touchdown blaze that the Ithacans could not quench. Once started, Princeton ripped through the line, its fast stepping backs sidestepping and outrunning the Cornell secondary.

Constantly threatening through the air. the Tigers scored only one touchdown on an aerial play, but the passes put the ba'l in scoring pos'tion four times.
