PeiroirD Kips Cornell, 16- By Len Smith Philadelphia, Nov. 22. Penn's greatest team in a genoratron, beaten only by Navy in a sea of mud in mid-season, turned on its full power this afternoon and trounced a big, and often clumsy, Cornell, 16-0, in the 49th renewal of their traditional rivalry. Havy Bomnbairds Tigers, 23-0 By Joe Trimble Princeton, N. Nov.

22. With a full head of steam up and all guns aroarin', the jolly tars of Navy enjoyed a bit of target practice for next week's game against Army by pelting the poor Princeton Tigers, 23-0, here this afternoon. Perm tucked the game in its hip S3 IVavy Princeton '( MJ 1 Cd Pi 73 C-3 Gael Kaiiiuied Odisio, St. Mary's fullback, runs into more trouble than he can handle after gaining two yards in first period yesterday at Polo Grounds. Sabasteanski (55), Ritinski (83) and Lansing (88) are three of the half dozen Rams who helped gang the runner.

Fordham won. 35-7. A flotilla of matrnineent Middier backs pierced the Tiger forward UMill at will and dashed and crashed over the Palmer Stadium gridiron for the remarkable total of 607 yards gained on the ground. Their point total resulted from three touchdowns, one coming: on their only completed pass of the contest, three conversions and a safety for the 23 points. Coach Swede Larson tossed 15 backs into action, and all gave the crowd of 42,000 a fine exhibition of how football should be played.

Little Howie Clark, a trimly-built cruiser type, won himself special notice because since he scored a touchdown and threw that successful 25-yard pass for another. Sherry Werner, a dreadnought with the speed of a mosquito boat, plunged over for the third after his 67. sprint had put the ball of) the 2 V2 yard stripe. LINEMEN HOLD TIGER The 16 linemen weren't bad either, since they held Princeton to a net gain of 55 yards from the line of scrimmage. One of 'em, Guard Joe Sliwka, earned the other two points by blocking a Tiger boot in the end zone.

avy's attack was in high gear from the first minute of play to the last and they would have piled tip a much larger score except -for the great defensive play of Bob Peters, Princeton captain. Bob, the safety man, made more tackles than any player on the field and three times he saved certain touchdowns when powerhouse Mid-die runners were loose and charting a course to goal line. MAVY RECOVERS FUMBLE Princeton managed to keep out of range of the Midshipmen's guns for the first 10 minutes of the game, but near the end of the first quarter after a couple of Navy drives had been thrown back, Peters fumbled a punt and a Navy recovered on the Tiger 37. The Navy then took over. Bill Busik hammered out a first down to the 20 and Iarson sent in a whole new team.

The change wasn't noticeable. Clark and Werner zipped across ten more yards for another first down just before the period ended.

Penn Cor- pocket in the first half and then coasted through the last 30 minutes, holding Carl Snavely's Big Red team at arms-length, even with a bunch of guys named Joe who were swept the bench for the first time all season to win their letter. NEVER IN THE CAME From the opening kickoff, when Joe Martin, Cornell's best fullback and line-backer-up, was hurt, Cornell never was in the game. Apparently primed to stop Perm's bruising Bert Stiff, rated one of the best fullbacks in the East, they were crossed up by ('apt. (iene (Stinky) Davis, Penn's excellent field general and a great player this afternoon.

Davis called Stiff's number only nine times to run the ball. The rest of the afternoon he had him passing it downfield or handing it to Penn's fleet running backs in a manner that had Cornell dizzy. Penn got its scores early. Starting from his 23, Davis mixed i e-verses and tackle smashes perfectly and the Quakers had rolled to Cornell's 18 without a hitch. Hue, when the going got rough, Davis himself planted a perfect placement.

MILLER GOES 30 YARDS In the second period, after some messy ball-handling in the Big Red backfield and a poor kick to Cornell's 39. Davis and Stoff led speedy Sophomore Bill Miller around Cornell's left end for 30 yards and a touchdown. As the end of the half neared, Stiff pitched a perfect strike 2(1 yards downfield to Bert Kuczvnski and Penn was through scoring for the day. Cornell muffed a great chance in the first quarter when Gilford fumbled a Buffalino punt on his 5 and was forced to kick out. Buffalino, returned the favor, however, by fumbling Clifford's punt and letting Penn's Dick Martin recover in midfield.

Penn's alleged weakness on passes also was proved a myth this afternoon. Davis and speedy Pax GifTord knocked down a dozen of Cornell's 23 attempts, while Jackie Welsh, the skeeter tailback, intercepted a couple when they hurt Cornell the most. For the home side Stiff threw 18. of which nine were completed and only one intercepted. DAVIS OrTSTANDlNG But in all, Penn's victory belonged to Davis, hailed by veteran Franklin Field observers as Penn's greatest field general.

For Cornell Ken Stofer, Lou Bufl'alino and Sub Fullback Hank Dragon had that old college try, but when it counted most the big, hard charging Penn line kept them well in hand, with Jack Cohen, tackle, and Al Brachka, guard, both playing their last game for the Red and Blue, covering themselves with glory. In games won and lost, seven and one, it was Penn's most successful season since 36, when the Mun a v-Elverson-Kurlish backf icld ran wild. But for sheer power and finesse, this team, matched those of the Lou Little-Heine Miller era, at the close of the World War, and the team of 24 which wound up its regular season undefeated, and lost only a post-season game to California.

Georgia rolled over Dartmouth, 35-0, today before 17,000 fans, with broken-jaw Frankie i i humbling the Big Green almost single-handed. Illinois Bows, 27-0 Evansville, 111., Nov. 22 (JP). Coach Bob Zuppke completed his long and brilliant career on a sour note today, his Illinois team bowing to a far superior Northwestern eleven, 27-0, before 35,000. nell 9 8 .146 812 18 23 9 8 .107 81 4 1 34 42 1 0 25 18 1..

Bob Leonard, place kicking specialist, added the first of his three extra points. After that score, the Princetons revived a bit and even managed to put a few yards and first downs together. With either Peters or Bob Perine passing on every down, they moved from their own 21 all the way down to the Navy 16. But Alan Cameron intercepted another toss in the end zone to end the threat and finish the Tigers for the afternoon. They never came close again.

Union Wins Run Bernhard Hemmendinger of Newark College of Engineers romped to a 90-yard victory over the four-mile cross country course at Van Cortlandt Park yesterday, but his team lost the dual meet to Cooper Union, 21-31. The winner covered the distance in 21:12, 18 seconds faster than Don Martinez, Cooper Union's best. Hoosiers Win, 7-0 Bloomington, Nov. 22 (TP). Billy Hillenbrand, the Evansville Express, led Indiana's Hoosiers to a 7-0 victory over Purdue today before 24,000 dripping fans on a field made soggy by alternating rain and snow.

Army, on the other hand, couldn't get past its own 30-yard line. Late in the quarter McElwee, who played a Cagle-like game all day until hurt and helped off the field in the third period, ran back a punt 17 yards to Army's 49. After plunges had moved the Mountaineers to the 41, Army Overtakes West Ft liirrnitn By Dick McCann Grid Yankees To Use 'Blues1 Coaches Benny Friedman and Wallace of the Yankee All Stars, who oppose the Colored AH Stars next Sunday in the Polo Grounds, today hoped to gain a line on their 15 newly-acquired Hartford Blues. The former members of the champion independent pro eleven, who signed Friday, will play this afternoon with the Yankees in an American Association game against the Clippers in Wilmington, Del. Ticket sales for next Sunday's all-star clash passed the $10,000 mark yesterday.

Fifty per cent, of the gross receipts will go to various colored, Catholic and Jewish charities. The game, sanctioned by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Mayor LaGuardia, will feature such standout colored players as Lou Montgomery, Ox Anderson, Bernie Jefferson, Archie Harris, Jim Walker, Charley Anderson and Ozzie Simmons. Coaches Wallace and Friedman are negotiating now with various current collegiate stars to bolster the white eleven.

7-6 McElwee shot a short pass to Martin, who scampered 30 yards to Army's five. A gallant goal-line stand, aided by a back-in-motion penalty, halted this threat and McElwee's field-goal try was short. But after Army booted out to its 43, the Mountaineers marched right back and didn't stop until McElwee had gathered the touchdown pass in his arms. CADETS START ROLLIN' This seemed to jolt the Cadets out of their lethargy and, led by Mazur, they drove 45 yards with the kickoff to West Virginia's 20. But a pass-interception ended the sally.

Through most of the third period, the teams huffed and puffed to no avail. But, backed up to its 13 by Charley Schrader's able punting, Army suddenly started to roll. Featured by Hill's 21-yard end run and Jim Kelleher's 33-yard end-around, the Cadet parade swept to the West Virginia ten. A fourth-down pass failed, however, shortly after the start of the fourth quarter. But Army battled right back as Mazur returned Schrader's punt 10 scrappy yards to West Virginia's 47.

A few plays later, Mazur howitzered that pay-off heave to Hill. West Point, Nov. 22. The Army Mule's kick had a point to it today. And that point provided the Cadets with a squeaky 7-6 victory over West Virginia before 25,000 in Michie Stadium.

Ridden ruthlessly by the Mountaineers for three quarters, the Mule struck with sudden savagery in the fourth period to wipe out a 6-0 deficit and salvage its fifth virt.orv of the season. First downs Yds. gained rushing- orward passes- Forwards completed-Yds. gained passing- Opp. fumbles recovered.

After holding Lafayette in check for two periods, Lehigh weakened today and Lafayette ran wild in the second half to score 40 points for a 47-7 victory in their 75th meeting. The defeat, fifth in as many years in the annual game for Lehigh, ended a victorious season for the Engineers, although they played three tie contests.

Auburn Upsets Villanova, 13-0 Philadelphia, Nov. 22 (JP). Monk Gafford, a 169-pound halfback, put on a great exhibition of running today to lead Auburn to an upset 13-0 victory over Villanova, the 8-to-5 favorite, before 10,000 at Shibe Park. Safford scored the Tigers' first touchdown on a 33-yard end run and helped set up the other score that came on Ty Irby's 15-yard run off tackle. Tennessee Trims Kentucky, 20-7 Lexington, Nov.

22 (JP). The University of Kentucky Wildcats scored on the Volunteers of Tennessee, for the first time in four years, but the Tennesseeans had little difficulty in winning, 20-7, before 13,000 today. Kentucky's touchdown came in the first three minutes of play. Fading deep, Hank Mazur flung a -13-yard toss to Ralph Hill, who outfought a Mountaineer defender to collect the pay-off pitch smack on the goal-line and step into the end zone for the touchdown. Bill Smith, who had huddled in a blanket on the bench all day awaiting this call to arms, dashed out and booted a placement for the extra and desperately needed point.

The hard-fightin' West Virginia eleven had scored in the second period on a three-yard pass from Jke Martin to Dick McElwee, climaxing a "43-yard march. All the statistics favor Army, but they fail to tell the story of bow badly the Cadets were stalled in that first half. They seemed listless and apparently were dreaming of next Saturday's war with Navy. Twice in the first period, the Mountaineers made menacing gestures, moving to the Army 36 and.
