OP) The University of Detroit dazzled Fordham with its bag of football tricks at the Polo Grounds tolay and won its fourtenth consecutive game, by a score of 19 to 0. All of the points "Were made in the second aud third 'periods, and (ill of them by Council, who tonight had 105 points to support his claim to the scoring leadership of middlewestern teams. He made two touchdowns in the second period, both after five-yard sprints around Fordimm's right end, and the other in the third quarter with a 20-yard run after he had taken a pass from Brazil. His first and third place kicks for goal after touchdown were blocked.

After the first period, during which the Detroiters seemed to have stage fright within the hollow shadows of the Polo Grounds, the superiority of the unbeaten invaders was evident, despite the plucky defense displayed by Fordham. Detroit made 13 first downs to Fortlham's six and save for the first quarter was in Fordham territory most of the time.

Texas university now leads the southwest conference with the probability that it will finish ahead for the flag. BY GEORGE KIRKSEY, United Press Staff Correspondent. Yankee Stadium, New York, November 17. Led by Ken Strong, a 200-pound halfback who ruus with the speed of a sprinter, New York university's violet-clad football team rolled up a 27-to-G victory today over the fighting but bewildered University of Missouri eleven in the outstanding intersectional game of the day in the eth. A crowd of 45.000 saw Strongs brilliant offensive work brin New York university from behind after Missouri had scored with a dazzling forward pass attack in the opening period.

Line Is Bruiser. With a big, bruising line opening the way for him, Strong ripped ami tore the Missouri defense to shreds as he galloped all over the field with Tigers vainly clutching at his speeding legs most of the time. Strong scored three touchdowns and kicked three goals after touchdown for a total of 21 points, increasing his season's total to 13S points, a new eastern record in individual scoring. Strong climaxed a busy afternoon with a breath-taking SO-yard run for a touchdown through the entire Missouri team in the final period. Sweeping around Missouri's left end, Strong sped down the side lines to midfield.

It was Strong's unerring accuracy in tossing a long pass to Jerry Nem-ecek. New York university right end, which enabled the Violets to overtake Missouri after the invaders had scored. Standing in midfield near the end of the first period. Strong threw a 35- of Crimson clad football players beaten but etill fiphtine. If the Tornado blows to conference Saannah, November 17.

(A3) Taking advantage of a Cadet fumble on their own lS-yard stripe in the fourth period, Mercer university used three line bucks and a pass to score a touchdown aud beat the Citadel, 7-0. here today. ltaiu that fell intermittently during the first half failed to dampen a Cadet offensive, Howie, Duvall and Weeks marching down the field to the Baptists' three-yard line where the half terminated. That was Citadel's only serious threat, the game resolving into a punting duel between Duval and Alderman. The pass that preceded Mercer's touchdown was incomplete but it was ruled that the intended receiver of the throw had been interfered with in executing the play.

Loser lugged the oval over from the one-yard line for a touchdown. Alderman adding the extra point from placement. championships sounds something like the score of a Tech Georgia game. It was a good game of football. Georgia played much better than it did last Saturday.

Most of its varsity line was out of the game, but the came through nobly. But L. S. U. took to the air in the first period to tie the score after Georgia had scored on a sh rt pass.

Then Georgia scored in the second quarter. I. national title knotted at 13-all and during that hectic half hour the waves of cheering rolled back and forth from the Crimson stands to the Golden ones like the wash of breakers against a sea wall. First the Gold had its moment when Warner Mizell fumbled a snap from center on his own 23-yard marker hut scooped up the ball and raced 75 yards through the entire Crimson team for a touchdown. Hardly five minutes later the cheering wave broke over the Crimson stand when Durant fumbled a punt on his own 10-yard mark and the ball was recovered by Alabama.

The volley of cheering broke into a barrage just a moment later when Tony Holm, staunch of heart and huge of body, plunged through the Tech line for a touchdown. It took but one more play to hush the Crimson roar and start the Golden avalancho. On the kick-off Wad-dy booted the ball 45 yardd to the enemy 15-yard line, where three Tide-men watcked it fall. Tom Jones, Tech end, scooped it up and raced to the Tide six-yard line before he was stopped. Itandolph took it over while the Tech stands roared to heaven.

Their triumph was short-lived, however, for within three minutes Father Lumpkin fumbled on his own 20-yard line and Alabama recovered again. A pass from Brown to Iloltn netted 27 yards and the Crimson stands went wild. Holm smashed over for the many times the "jilayers will always P'S'ilook back on the Xi nnn rn eon i you. Georgia gained 15 yards from scrimmage against a total of OS for L. S.

U. Georgia made nine first downs to seven for L. S. IT. Georsia completed five out of 10 passes for yardage amounting to 48.

S. V. completed three out of 15 for HU yard to be gained in that manner. Georgia averaged o7 yards on punts. Ij.

S. V. averaged Georgia was penal ized a total of, 35 yards. S. U.s' penalties amounted to 55 yards.

Both teams fumbled once. Those figures would indicate something approaching eveness with the exception of jards gained from scrimmage where Georgia gained two to L. S. one. The Bed and Black was a much better football team today than it was last week.

The players kept up a running fire of chatter, seemed to have, more pep in their movements and seemed to be functioning more as machine. But they found waiting for them a well drilled machine that was keyed to the pitch. A team that had a blonde devil in' the back-field named Beeves, who brought the first touchdown almost single handed-ly. A team that had a hard driving halfback named Brown, who was rather hard to stop. They're good football players.

It was a nip and-tuck fight from the start and B. H. U. won it. The work of Bryant, Boland, Huff.
