For it was Terence who broke the game open on the first kickoff when he raced 95 yards for an unimpeded touchdown. It was Terry, an Irishman from the German city of Milwaukee, who battered through the West Point line time after time to score the second Gold and Green touchdown at the tag-end of a power-pretty 0-yard march.

It was the third time in five seasons that Brown has upset the Blue. Neither Yale nor the gale could stop the embattled Bruins. After seeing an early lead wiped out, the Brown team came surging back for touchdowns in the third and fourth periods, amassing a 20-to-7 advantage before Yale went 77 yards for its final touchdown.

8 Henry "Hank" Dombkowski, who never played football before he matriculated at Maine, sparked the Black Ber to a 13-0 victory over Bowdoin in the 49th meeting of these traditional rivals before 9500 at Alumni Field this afternoon. The 162-pound Patterson, N. junior, who was retained on the Maine squad as a freshman because he had a football name, raced 48 yards for the first Bears' score. He sprinted 40 yards with an intercepted pass to the Bowdoin seven to set up the other touchdown which Phil Coulombe of Augusta, scored on the following play. He also added the extra point after this tally.

It took Medford 25 plays to go the route against the bitterly reluctant Watch City eleven. The touchdown drive began in the final minute of the third quarter and less than a half minute remained to be played when quarterback Tommy Kcl-ley drove into the end zone from the brink of the Waltham goal line. Though the ball was wet and slippery not once did the Mustangs bobble a handoff on route. its noses on four other, scon Tho Crimson never threatened as a possible winner, but saved a whitewashing late in the opening half when Jim Kenary threw three successive on-the-target forward passes, all of which were completed.

The unexpected fireworks flashed over 60 yards to the Tigers' goal line. There was a 20-yard completion by Wally Flynn, another for eight yards by George (the Red) Hill, and finally a long shot which Flynn clutched high on the Princeton eight-yard mark and then raced across the goal.

8 Sandpaper handling of a ball that was as slippery as a greased pig on a gridiron churned into a morass by torrential rains brought Columbia a decisive 15 to 0 triumph over Dartmouth at Baker Field this afternoon. All the scoring this dreadful day was squeezed into an 11-minute segment spanning the third and fourth periods. From the interminable pressure put on the Hanover Indians by Bob Russell's remarkable punting throughout the game, Lou Little's Lions squeezed a safety on a blocked punt, a touchdown on a 20-yard pass by the famous battery of Gene Rossides and Bill Swiacki, a conversion by Vcn-lan Yablonski and, early in the last period, a one-yard quarter after moving in on territory through tKAj madiur of the more ianvjir wing.

Trailing halfway through the final period as Navy's fine line consistently outplayed the big Tech forwards, the Yellow Jackets saved their undefeated-untied record when they recovered a Navy fumble- and turned it into the winning touchdown on a long forward pass.

At game's end Penn was on the visitors' one-yard stripe. Deuber, a 175-pounder from Bridgeton, N.

swept around his own right end for 61 yards and a touchdown on Tenn's first play from scrimmage 2 minutes and 39 seconds after the kickoff. See PENN Page 32 Again Cops Little MIDDLETOWN, Nov. Wesleyan continued its undefeated march this afternoon, trampling Williams, 12 to 6, to win for the second year the coveted Little Three crown and to ring up its 15th straight victory. A high wind and beating rain prevented any show of finesse on the part of Coach Norman Daniels' favored Cardinals. The players of both teams floundered in the mud and water and the wind played havoc with attempted punts and passes.

After a scoreless first stanza the Wcsmen eurged ahead when Ed Quinlon punted to the Wesleyan 40-yard line. Frank Wenner carrier it to the Ephmen's 27. Red Dwyer added 6 and Bill Brooks went around the Williams left end standing up for a touchdown. Bill Nelson failed to convert. Williams came back to even the score in the third period when Pat Higgins negotiated the left side of the Wesleyan line for a 55-yard dash to the goal posts.

Tim Clancy failed to convert. In the fourth period Quinlon punted to the Williams 30-ynrd stripe. Wen- CLOSED!

In retaining their spotless record among the nation's gridiron elect, the pounding Quakers twice shook loose their fleet halfback, Bob Dcuber, for spectacular Bcoring runs of 61 and 56 yards to kill Virginia's hopes of victory.

Watertown captured the team prize by a narrow margin over Fumbles Defeat Groton, 15-13; Saunders Star By JOnN AIIERN SOUTIIBORO, Nov. 8 A safety in the last period, which was engineered by burly lineman Tim Saunders, settled the issue today when St. Mark's first came from behind and then broke a tie to take Groton, 15-13, in the 58th game in the series which began in 1886. The record now reads: Groton 37, St. Mark's 19 and two ties.

Saunders, who was forced to sit out most of the second period with a bashed nose which required three stitches, figured in the other scores. His bull-like crashes through the line, caused the fumbles that set up the two touchdowns and the safety. John Barnard, 15-year-old giant from Belmont, put the finishing touches on what Saunders started. He scored twice to save the day for his team. See ST.

Nov. 8 With all the scoring packed into the first half before the rain came, Exeter defeated Andover, 12 to 6, in a bitterly fought 68th renewal of the historic football series here, today. Fumbles predominated in this wind and rain swept game, particularly in the first period.

Exeter hopped on a miscue in the shadow of the Andover goal. And in a twinkling, Big Fitrpatrick had traveled three yards for the game's first score. Exeter racked up its second, and what proved to be the winning touchdown, early in the second period. Taking to the-air in the teeth of the baby gale, Bob Blaik, 200-pound triple threat son of the Army coach, passed 20 yards down field to mate Alex Devers, who ran 15 more strides to make it 12-0.
