The southern' champions permitted only 20 enemy points while rolling up 242 themselves. Penn also allowed only a score of points. Northwestern yielded 22 points and Lafayette 37. Notre Dame's goal line had been crossed only once in eight years, when Carnegie's 19 0 avalanche buried the Hoosiers. This sensational victory emphasized Carnegie's defense as well as attacking strength, the "Sklbos" having yielded only 23 points, 17' to Washington Jefferson and 6 to New York university in team's only defeat.

() The attack in football, after a brief forward surge last yeaiv; agaln.hjis felt the checking Influence of eturdieF de fenslvc work. Records for tho season just closed reveal this average scoring power of college teams throughout the country1 to, be at its lowest ebb in five years. These figures, covering the regular campaigns of 120 representative aggregations in all sectors of the gridiron front, show that a grand total of 13,960 points were, rolled up in 917 This is an of 116.3 points per team, representing a sharp decline from the 1925 average of 122 and ah especially marked drop from the 1922 figure of 133 points. The decrease in the average game score also is notable for the five year period, scaling from 18 to 14.6 points, but the latter figure represents a slight advance over the 1924 average, which was 14.5. There has been' comparatively little change in the game average, in fact, over a four year stretch.

Passing on Wane Tho downward scoring trend for 1926 may be traced, directly to the general ineffectiveness of passing attacks that flourished last season on a wide scale, to the increased emphasis upon all around team defense and to the development of more close order attacks. There were plenty of thrills for those who like the features of the "open game" and the pass, but among major teams there a distinct return to the more old fashioned running games, with variations, and to the use of the field goal as a vital scoring weapon.

While Magistrate Silberman was adjourning the heavyweight champion's oU'se to Thursday, William luldoon, senior member of the board, and Commissioner George Brower were squaring off against Chairman James A.

Both Muldoon and Brower contended the commission had no right to interfere with the state activities of Tunney, whose act. includes two one minute rounds of sparring. Up to District Attorney JIuldoon revealed that he and Brower opposed action by the board on the ground that tho matter was one, for the pollco and the district attorney's office tc investigate.

A resolution was accordingly passed referring the question to District Attorney Banton to "take such action ai he deemed necessary." Tuiuiey's arrest was made after letters had been forwarded by Secretary Bert Stand on behalf of the commission to' the theatre and the police, setting forth that any sparring by Tunney would be violation of the state commission rules. 1 Dudley Field Malone, appearing1 as Ttmney's attorney this morning, consented to adjournment of the case on condition that tile police in the interim "would not break up the show."
