MERGER High Overwhelms Backs State College, November 7, OP) Penh State and Notre Dame, playing in a field of mud and with rain pouring down, fought each other to a scoreless tie here today before 25,000 persons. Only twice during the battle was score of any sort in sight, once when Rex Enright, of the Indianians, attempted a placement goal from the 20-yard line; which was wide of the posts by two feet, and again when Helzig of State failed to grasp a slip- -pery pass from center. Driving and sliding, the combatants fought gamely against terrific odds after the first period. At the start of the game, Kniite Rockne's eleven produced a powerful offensive with Hearndon, Flannagan "and Enright battering their way down the field for 40 yards on three plays, only to encounter a solid set of Penn State forwards. State gained the ball and from that point it became a question of kicking.

Unable to Return Punts. Captain Gray, of Penn State, op-posed Edwards, of Notre Dame, in the duel of toes and the tmf matched the other, booting the unwieldy ball for from. 40 to 60 yawls. For a time, there were runbacks.of a few yards, but soon the field had.be-come so slippery that receivers could nor start. So it went for two periods, although a forward pass from Edwards to Hearndon which gained 20 yards gave Notre Dame an advantage in the second which it eventually yielded through a.

kick over the goal fine Edwards. Hearndon carried Gray's kickoff in, the second half back to his line and Enright and Flannagan added a first down but that was the end of the effort. A long pass by Edwards was downed on State's two-yard and from which point Gray issued one of his poorest kicks, only 3S yards. Edwards and Flannagan dove through to the 15-yard mark, but Edwards lost 13 when Weston got him from behind. Knrigbt Fafls at Kick.

Interference with the receiver of "a forward pass cost State 15 yards and from this point Enright failed at h's placement goal. After three plays in the fourth period, Westori tried a kick from the 32-yard line and this also failed. Few forward passes were attempted and only one was successful, that of Edwards to Hearndon. Half a dozen grounded when receivers slinped in -attempting catches. Notre 'Dame had the advantage in what littia was done, but both lines braced when danger threatened and compelled punting.

Imagine Northwestern defeating Michigan, 3 to 2, in a contest where neither team was able to make a first down and this only a week after had absolutely run wild against Navv, and Northwestern had been beaten by Tulane. Or if you dislike to think, about that as being an upset consider this: Cornell and Dartmouth met as unbeaten teams and in the first quarter Cornell scored two touchdowns.

Thereafter business turned very bad for Cornell, which finally lost the game by a of 62 to 13. TN the Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt amount of trving to break through the Vanderbilt line.

I I i I would have been justified in predicting that Tech would win by at' least three touchdowns.

Tech High school's proud colors were overshadowed by the 'Blue this afternoon when the Atlantans went down to a J0-7 defeat in a game that found the Savannahans playing their opnortnni ties to the utmost and smashing the defenses of Tech High in qlmost every play. Few times did the Blue Jackets rer sort to the air to gain ground, the Savannah backfield plunging through for moderate but steady gains that did not cease even when the ball on the ope-yard line of the visitors. The bullet-like passes hurled by Tech High's ace. Davidson, and received mostly by Cook should have been the big card for the Atlanta boys but they failed to use this weapon as often as thev should have. Smithies Pass Over Goal.
