Queen of the 2-year-old fillies last season when she won the rich Selima Stakes over this course, Jacola's performance this afternoon was all the more remarkable, for the 3-year-old daughter of Jacopo-La France turned back such seasoned performers as Es- but once she began to ram her dream backs over the battered Fordham had to be content with fourth money. Jacola's victory was worth $15,650 to points. While being outrushed 403 yards to 103 and 14 first downs to 7, Princeton managed to get into scoring position by recovering a fumble.

While making their happy start in defense of their Big Three title, the Crimsonites almost duplicated their performance against the 1937 Tigers, who also saw MacDonald run wild. Intercepts Two Tiger Passes That fleet right halfback playcl the 60 minutes, and among bis other accomplishments was the interception of two Princeton passes. Torbie got the Crimson off to an early and flying start by racing 35 yards from his 25 to the Tiger 40, on the second play of the game.

Swinging to the right, Thesing ran 44 yards across the line for the final score. Army fought it out to the finish. But three periods were all they could meet against too many fresh battalion Notre Dame, in addition to a first-claia line, had at least eight backs ranging in the main from 180 to 200 pounds. There were four high-class fullbacks around the 195-pound mark, and these hacks were 11 fast, harder to pull down than a runaway bison. Cadets Begin To Droop For three periods the Army defease stood up under this continued onslaught, but near the end of the third canto the Cadet defense began to wilt badly, as there were not enough replacements to fill the gaps.

This is a high-class Notre Dame, once it begins to click and get under way. Its early passing was wild and spotty, but later on the pegging attack began to find its target as Sullivan and others made brilliant catches on th receiving end. Army's line, headed by Stella at tackle, stood up valiantly until too many waves drove them back. Stella and Beinor put on a big show in the line. They were breaking throuch and She was angling for still another At the finih it was Jacola utill under a hold, with Great Union second and the outsider.

Jock Sutherland's club deserved to onslaught in the last two periods was far more than a staggering Army team could match along the ground or in the air. Thesing, Saggau, Sheridan, Zontini, Stevenson and Tonelli had contacted Don Daughters on the 12 and win because it is the closest thing to a cheering the returning old grads did was done at the expense of two sky raids engineered for the most part by Rip Hewitt and Francis Beamer.

Charlie Weidinger had trouble locating the range and, when he took his turn at throwing, his heaves either were too short or too long. He finally retired in favor Hewitt, who managed to get the ball where it could be put across the line. V. M. I.

Richards was content to let Good Odds set the pace during the run along the far tide of the course, but Volitant never wt.s more than half a length off the leader and ready to strike when Richards gave the word. The son of Display was asked for speed around the final bend and he shook off Good Odds quickly, only to face a stretch challenge from T. J. Hill's Tin Devil. Tin Devil made his bid at the eighth pole, and for a moment it appeared he might make the grade, but Richards kept the Saratoga Stable colt going strongly and Tin Devil could not close any ground, the winner scoring by half a length.

Tin Devil's drive sent him five lengths clear of Good Odds. Stake Time Poor Due to the off track, the time in the two stakes was poor. Volitant required 1.42 3-5 to complete the mile, while Jacola's mile-and-a-quarter mark was 2.06. from start to finish. Put the New York the hapless Marylanders.

The Terps Joe Gardclla on the 2-yard line, from where MacDonald plunged for his first cftunter. MacDonald's second touchdown, a 73-yard dash early in the third period, pulled the Crimson into a 14-7 lead. His final trip into the Princeton end zone was made from the 2-yard line in the final quarter, after Nick Mellen, left guard, put his mates in scoring position by recovering Tom Mountain's fumble. That thrust completed the scoring and gave Harvard, for the first time since 1916. a second consecutive win over the Tigers, who hold a 19-11 edge Yankees in jerseys and cleats and received the opening kickoff, ran her 1-yard line, the runback ended 26 yards away.

Today the Rams held the lead through the Long to Sullivan across the line. At the end of this touchdown hike tackling all over the lot.

The punting duel between Mullin, of Army, and Saggau, of Notre Dame, was another feature. In fact, it was Saggau's quick kick for a neat gain of 68 yards in the third period that gave the Irish their winning touchdown jump.
