DAILY NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1934 FIRST BLOOD FOR THE WRECKING RAMS Temple Gives No Thanks By PAUL GALLICO TEJIPLE STADIUM, Philadelphia, Nov. 29. There was a considerable expeditionary force of experts from New York and other parts who foreswore their midday Thanksgiving meal to journey hither this gray day to peer at a possible All-America candidate coached by Master Glenn Scobey Warner late of Stanford University, Cal. This young hero is named Dave Smukler and he come3 from Glovers ville, N.

a place which is called Glovers-ville because they make gloves there. His position is fullback for the Temple University football team. Poor chap, he met with the usual run of luck. Playing in comparative privacy all year, the one game in which the spotlight was turned on him naturally turned out to be his worst. Or rather Temple's worst.

The stooge selected for Smuk-Ier's performance was Bucknell, which comes from Lewis-burg, Pa. At the end of the ball game, the score was Bucknell 0, Temple 0. Master Smukler was considerably deflated, and Bucknell won itself a handsome moral victory. One felt sorry for Smukler, a fine, driving back, a good passer and a willing and able blocker, but sorrier still for old Top Warner, who in his second year at Temple as head coach, produced an unbeaten team, and when his labors were done and gray hairs -added to his thatch, I am afraid he found that it didn't matter very much. It is just Temple's unbeaten team.

It won't be asked to visit the Rose Bowl where the air is soft and balmy in the cold Winter months (mebbe), and it won't be rated in the National Championships. But I guess his team gave Pop some satisfaction, and that is about alL Saransk? (arrow) of Fordham goes over or touchdown in first period. 7) Rams tfJlfl SJm 0 US I Violet 39-13 By GEORGE KENNEY. NEW YORK wound up its 194 football schedule at Yankee Stadium yesterday in a knock -down-and-drag-out scramble between N. Y.

U. and Ford-ham, which ended, as was confidently expected by most of the 25,000 present, in a one-sided victory for Fordham. The score was 39 to 13. Intercepted parses by Ford- Satisfaction, and memories too, are Pop's dividends. The Temple colors are cherry and white, but it might be cardinal and white, and when the boys first run out on to the field, Pop's old eyes might be looking at his famous Stanford Indians.

However, it should be said that as soon as the ball is put into play all illusion is shattered. It doesn't go beyond the color of the Uniforms. ham's alert young scholars helped to clear the way for The explanation of the zero-zero score is simple enough. Bucknell could gain only in its own territory, and Temple couldn't gain at all. But undefeated Temple was the prize ezhibit here today and it was the Bucknell line that spoiled the party.

This Bucknell line was a curious affair and worthy of scientific study. It was composed of a number of runty individuals, short, squat, powerful, with the most well. I mean when they turned around. is to say, if their backs were turned to yon it was very hard to get by them. What I am driving at is that they all had ideal builds for hockey goalies.

two invasions of N. i. U. goal line, and passes and plunges accounted for the others. The Violet scored only twice, once in the second and once in the fourth stanzas, both as a reward for brilliant marches down the field in the face ot probably the toughest opposition it had met all year.

They had teir own style of line play based upon, apparently, and suited to the peculiar physiques with which nature had endowed them. When the Temple line charged them, they merely arose and turned around, and master Smukler batted uselessly against unyielding bastions, ramparts and buttresses of flesh. Tha sum total of Smukler's advances against this curious but apparently impregnable defense was 44 yards in seventeen tries, and his longest gain was 5 yards.

However, he handled the ball for practically every play, feeding it to the eventual carrier on jeverses. He blocked he threw some accurate and successful passes, and he did relieve himself of one quick kick from the line of scrimmage that traveled all of 65 yards. rhnoed a lateral to anuin in turn, whipped it to ior1en.

But in troth these Bucknell backs had large holes through which to zig-zag, holes left by the violent intrusions of the hefty persons of the Bucknell When a Bucknell lineman had charged through the Temple forwards, the space left by the passage of his figure, left room for three backs to run through tandem. But, alas, this was only tip to about Temple's thirty yard line. Once Temple advanced from its ten yard line to past mid-field in 5 successive first downs and then bogged down. Ah well, it was ever thus.

Smukler may be an all-America, but I cannot make yoa any sincere promises on that. Old Pop may have here a great and undefeated football club, but it was just another team out hero this afternoon, getting a good pushing around. It could not haoa been the slippery ground, because it was just at slippery for Bucknell, though I will admit that the Warner system V.fT mor from insecure footing. 1 wish that Smukler had shone brilliantly.
