SPORTS CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS REAL ESTATE SUNDAY, NOV. 2, 1941 SECTIONS C-D THE KICK IN THE ARMY MULE Hank Mazur's brilliant kicking played an important role as the Cadets battled Notre Dame to a scoreless tie yesterday at the Yankee Stadium. Mazur got off boots of 75 yards and 60 yards and did some fancy running, too.

It battled on the Cadet's 28 in the third and was on the Soldiers 20 in the final minute of the play. Seventy-six thousand paid to get in to see the show, which conceded nothing to the aquacade in diving, sloshing and splashing. A driving rain slanted down unmercifully all afternoon, curling up under the protecting rim of the big grandstand to harry the customers. Rain Spoils Passing Attack Three forward passes and several hundred cases of galloping pneumonia were caught during the cruel weather, which Coach Frank Leahy of the Irish complained wrecked his team's aerial game.

Bertilll, called Angclo the Accurate by idolatrous Notre Darners, looked as if he were pitching a square ball yesterday. In the second quarter Ralph Hill, Army's sophomore prodigy, intercepted a Bertilli bullet when the Irish, having blocked Mazur's punt, were on the Army 24 and on the move. Again at the end of this quarter Bertilli failed to move his team after some great pieces of running by Steve Juzwlk put the Irish 17 yards from a touchdown. It was Notre Dame's best chance of the day.

There was more kicking on the gridiron than there was in the stands about the weather. Showing a disposition to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible. Army punted 17 times to 16 times for the Irish, both frequently kicking on first down. Evans' Passes Hurt Army Hank Mazur, best running back on the field all day, consistently outkicked Notre Dame's dippy Evans until a low pass from center in the second quarter gave N. D.

tackle Jimmy Brutz the chance to come in and smother Mazur's kick. The Irish recovered on Army's 24 then, but could not move. Even with that blocked kick, Mazur got more yardage on his efforts than the Notre Dame kickers. Mazur. like his halfback mat Johnny Hatch, and Bob Evans, the Army center, were the only three Continued on Pace 2 point settlement.

24 and again to its 17 in the EAGLE The score was 136. And It might have been infinitely worse for though the Middies scored only twice, they had their ship moored inside the Penn 15-yard line no fewer than six non-scoring times and as the game closed were only four yards from another score axid had two more chances. Last week's trip up to Boston must have brought the Middies the inside on the smart and the fancy for the Midshipmen out-blocked, out-backed and out-smarted the valiant Penn lads with plenty to spare. Navy held the upper hand from the moment Barnacle Bill Busik's down-wind kickoff went over the goal line almost into Wightman Hall. While Navy was either threatening to score or missing attempts at placements its great team of Leonard, the kicker and Zechella, the holder who made three attempts from around the 15-yard line Penn was hog-tied by the dash and savoir of Navy's line.

But here on the Princeton plains the weather did not upset form as the Tigers and fair Harvard opened the round robin of the Big Three. While 18,000 fans were lashed by the downpour in open Palmer Stadium, Middies Miss Six Scoring Chances Inside 15-Yard Line By RALPH TROST Staf Correspondent of the Brooklyn Eagle Philadelphia, Nov. 1 All work and no play may make Jock a dull boy, but then Jack couldn't have been a football player for here on Franklin Field today, before 73,391 waterlogged fans a Navy team that was hard driven in scrimmage even up to Thursday, lambasted unbeaten, untied Penn.

Army Eleven Comes Closest To Touchdown I Cadets Reach 1 1-Yard Stripe in 2d Quarter-Tie Satisfies Leahy The nearest either team came to scoring in the big battle of Yankee Stadium was in the second quarter when Notre Dame's Dippy Evans' weak punt on the next-to- last play or the first period gave Army the ball 29 yards from a touchdown. Hank Mazur slashed at his right for nine and Johnny Hatch bucked across the 20 for first down. Hill was stopped, but Mazur plugged to the 16. With third down and six to go, Hill knifed to the 11, failing by inches of a first, down, although It was measured. Army lost five on men in motion and then, with its second "fourth down" of the series, tried a fancy reverse which went nowhere.

Notre Dame took over the ball on downs on the 16. Evans was the best man for Notre Dame no doubt of it. And that still goes whether you mean Dippy Evans. Irish fullback whose punting kept the Army back much of the time or Bob Evans, Cadet center, whose bad passing also tied up the Soldier attack. The poor soldiers were wet enough before Cadet Evans' second bad pass back caused Cadet Mazur's punt to be blocked and really put the Army in hot water.

"Army has a great fighting team," was the momentous announcement from Irish coach Leahy after the game. "We were satisfied to get out of this with a tie. It showed me a lot of weak points that will have to be patched up before next week's battle with the Navy." The officials were very accommodating allowing the rival back-field men to wipe their hands in the nice, white (sic) official pants. A stream of footballs was kept rotating between a towel brigade and the field, but even with this drying service the leather was as elusive as acake of soap in the bathtub. I Prank Leahy's wife, the former Flo Reilly of Brooklyn, watched the game but Leahy's three youngsters weren't allowed out in the storm.

i i 1 lillPilllSBHBy I 1 4 The rain, a sea of mud, and a husky Purdue University line couldn't topple unbeaten, untied Kordham yesterday at the Polo Grounds. In many respects It was Ford-ham's outstanding performance of the season. A driving rain poured throughout, soaking the 20.500 spectators. But the Rams drove over two lightning touchdowns in the third quarter on a 31-yard run by Steve Filipowicz and a one-yard plunge by the burly Fordham fullback, climaxing a 25-yard drive. George Cheverko put the Rams in front with a 10-yard field goal on the first play of the second quarter.

Purdue Never Threatens Purdue, never threatening, failed to make a first down and didn't penetrate past mid-field until the closing stages of the third period. Fordham played for the breaks and got them. Jim Blumenstock's kicking kept Purdue out of scoring position throughout the game and had it not been for the magnificent punting of Bob Hajzyk and Bob Chester particularly the latter, who amazed the 20.500 customers with his deft spirallng the Rams might have rolled on to at least three more scores. Fordham's line completely outplayed the Purdue linemen, who were reputed to be the finest in the land. The Rose Hill team reeled off five first downs, while the Purdue backs were stopped without one.

Fordham picked up 119 yards on their rushing and Purdue got 41. Despite the weather Fordham resembled a championship team from the opening whistle until the final toot. Crowley's team was at full strength and prepared for the worst. Mai El wards' eleven was handicapped by the loss of linemen Tommy Melton, co-cap ain, and Herman Tipperman, who reported to the field but was sent back to the Vanderbilt Hotel with a temperature of 101. The Boilermaker's No.

1 back, Johnny Petty, wasn't of much use because of a slightly injured knee. Rams Capitalize on Breaks Blumentock and Hajzyk kept exchanging kicks with regularity in the major part of the first quarter. Then the Rams got the break they were maneuvering for, a fumble by the enemy. Steve Hudacek crashed through and partially blocked Hajzyk's punt on Purdue's 20-yard line and, when the ball finally came to a halt on the slippery turf, Fordham gained possession on the 28. Filipowicz.

Joseph Andrejaco and Blumenstock pounded out two first downs on nine running plays to the Boilermakers half-yard line. A penalty for a back in motion left Fordham five yards from the opposition goal line and Blumenstock reached the two as the quarter ended. Crowley sent in Chcrverko for Blumenstock and the former place-kicked the ball squarely between the upright from the 10-yard line for Fordham's first three points. From then on I until the half Blumenstock and Chester swapped kicks. The third quarter was only 1 :50 minutes old when Filipowicz.

todaj when big Harvy Johnson, th" Braves' fullback, kicked a 17-yard goal through the pouring rain in the third period. More than 8 000 fans braved the downpour. The stage was set for John's tally when Right Tackle Harry Fields smashed through the Dartmouth line twice and downed runners foi 16 yards in losses, and then blocked a Dartmouth punt. Johnson had attempted another field goal from the 18 in the second quarter, but the sokev ball hit the upright. He made this try when Dartmouth's Green Indians halted W.

This march by Tom DouRlas' 30-yard gallop around end through the mire. William and Mary bottled up Dartmouth during most of the last period and staved off a desperate Green passing attack in the final minutes.

The Braves' pass defense combined with the mud and a slippery ball to prevent the aerial barrage from clicking. Most of the first period was devoted to pujiting exchanges, with Dartmouth's John Krol having the better of the booting as he kept the Braves back in their own territory. However, the Braves drove 44 yards to the Green 36 as that Continued on Pace I lavored Harvard won by 6 to 4. One-third period thrust won the exceedingly wet ball game for the Crimson. Gooey going on the turf end the slippery ball made ground gaining and passig exceedingly hazardous.

But on this one occasion Princeton was taken in completely by a bit of Dick Harlow's hocus-pocus and that once was enough. Pushed back on their own 13-yard mark by a quick kick by Bob Perina, Captain Francis Lee of the Crimson took the ball on a reverse play through Princeton's right tackle. Completely fooled by the maneuver, the Tigers' secondary defense was sucked in on the left side of their own line and when Lee tore through the hole and shook off two diving tackles, he unexpectedly found himself in the clear. Tigers Gain 2 0 Lead Lee looked more astonished than any one else. But he wasn't so aurprised that he didn't know what to do.

He raced for the sideline away from the baffled Princeton defenders, then straightened out and picked 'em up and laid 'em down until he had splashed his way to the Princeton goal. Eddie Rose, first of the Tigers to recover from the shock, tackled Lee from behind five yards from the finish but the Cantab captain had enough to glide over. Henry Vandered failed to convert but the touchdown was enough to bring Harvard its 12th victory in the 37th renewal of this Ivy classic. It was, by the way, Harvard's second touchdown of the year. Lee scored the other, also, which beat Dartmouth.

Two safeties accounted for the Princeton scoring. The first came early In the second period. Alexander Edwards crashed into the end zone and blocked the kick of left-footed Loren Mackinney, the ball bouncing back over the end zone. That gave Princeton a 2-to-0 lead at halftime. The Tigers were all pepped up throughout the rest of the half and they came out for te second with Continued on Page 2 By GEORGE E.

COLEMAN Following Paul Governali's touchdown in the third quarter, Columbia held off Cornell's desperate march in the last four minutes of play to upset favored Big Red, 7 to 0, before 15,000 rain-soaked fans at Baker Field yesterday. The lone touchdown came from Columbia's 46-yard marker where Governall scrambled through tackle. On the 50-yard line he was hit by Ken Stoper but kept going. At the 12-yard line Lou Bufallno was set to bring Governall down but Phil Bayer streaked up and took out Bufa-lino with a beautiful block, allowing Governali to scramble over, Dick Ferrarani converted. Carl Snavely, the Cornell coach, had tried to stop the Lions' rush by substituting an entire new line just before the touchdown.

The Lions, with a strong defense and plenty of fine kicking by Ken Germann, kept the up-Staters in safe territory until the fourth quarter when Stoper took a punt back to Columbia's 45 with four minutes remaining. The first play a pass, Stofer to Martin was good for 25 yards to the Lions' 20. Another pitch, Stoger to Tredennick, in the end zone, was inches from the receiver's hands when Governali knocked the ball down. Following a rush by Stofer, good for four yards, Stofer winged another pass to Tredenneek in the end zone, but Bayer slammed the ball to the ground again. Lions Miss 2 Field Goals Governali stopped a third pass in the end zone, then Martin carried the ball around end to the four.

Then the game ended. Once in the second quarter and another time in the third period Columbia tried placement kicks from the field. From the Red's 24 Dick Ferrarini missed by three feet and the second time he missed by two feet fro mthe 17-yard marker. The series now stands 16 won by Cornell, 10 by Columbia, with three ties. Brown Whips Yale, 7 to 0 New Haven, Nov.

1 (U.B A smart Brown team that waited for the breaks, slopped through the mud in the final period to whip Yale 70 and plough Spike Nelson's Eli-men under for the fourth consecutive time this season. Only 9,000, one of lthe smallest attendances in the 27 years of the Bowl's history, braved the rain to see the game. The decision came after ten minutes of the fourth had been spent and Dan Savage heaved a pass from Yale's 35 to Dick High who ran a gauntlet of Yale players along the left sidelines to down the ball In the end zone. Jack Pattee kicked the conversion. A few minutes earlier, when the game appeared a stalemate, Pattee tried a field goal from Yale's 30, but Jack Ferguson moved In quickly to deflect the ball.

Yale didn't make a first down the entire game, while Brown whipped through with nine for a gain of 226 yards. Brown also completed one forward for a gain of 35 yards while Yale found poor consolation in its only completed forward which threw they back for six-yard lost. MINNESOTA TOPS NORTHWESTERN, BEFORE 64,464 Minneapolis. Nov. 1 OJ.R) Minnesota, coming from behind in the second half, today defeated Northwestern, 8 to 7, before a record crowd of 64.464.

Northwestern kicked off and Garnaas raced 22 yards to the Minnesota 4. Two kicks by Garnaas kept Northwestern deep in its own territory during the first part of the quarter, one of the punts rolling dead on the Northwestern three. Each time DeCorrevont punted out of danger and on the second, a cilpping penalty set Minnesota back to its 43. Minnesota drove from its 43 to the Northwestern 10 where Clawson intercepted Daley's pass. On the second play a bad pass by center Gene Mundy slipped through DeCorrevont 's fingers and before he ran it down, the ball bounded across the end one for a Minnesota safety.

Benson kicked off from his 20 and Daly returned 28 yards to Northwestern's 47. Higgins moved the ball to Northwestern's 26. in five plays. After an exchange of punts. Graham threw a 73-yard touchdown pass to Motl, but the ball was called back and Northwestern penalized 13 yards for having an ineligible lineman beyond the line of before the pass was thrown.
