This was when ripped the Penn line into ihreds ar.d practically alone car the Pltt'i -5-yard hr.e to thc 40 jrird line of the enemy. At thii important juncture McCarter dropped back and took a long from eentre. He swung first to the nght, then to the left, and as a trio cf Red and Biue sweaters plunged at. he tai.ed the ball high into the air ind toward the side line.

Penniy had been anticipating pre? ciiely that sc rt of a play. She had two men covering Carlson, left end; yet he I out of the box they fhonld have made for him, caught the ball and trotted over Pennsy'. Ime tM a touchdown.

N.Y.U.-Union Play Scoreless Tie on Gridiron The New York University and Union College football teams played to a scoreless tie on Ohio Field yesterday afternoon. The visitors were outplayed by the local collegians in every de? partment of the game except end running. Union's goal was in danger three times, but in each instance a fumble or a penaity lost N. Y. V7s oppor? tunity.

On one occasion the ball was actually carried over the goal line, only to be lost in a fumble. On the defence the University Heighta line was practically impreg nable and allowed few gains of any account. The ends, however, proved weak until the last part of the game, when they smeared several attempted end The light backfield of the lolet team demonstrated its ability in plung mg through the big I'nion line for long and consistent gains, but their in end running was poor. Union was 5trong where the Violet was weak. A'l the first downs gained by tbe visitors were due to end runs.

Kpan was the star of the contest. At -ginning of the second half he caught the kirkoff and, after turning off thne pro-pective tacklers and rur.mng around three more, he was downed bv Whittner on the visitors 40-vard Ine. In the third quarter loeil with a thirty-five vard gain around end. He also made hia presence felt by his kicking, which i the I'nion punts. In the third quarter N.

Y. U. lost a re. The Violet backs took turns in rushing the ball and marched down the field. New York was set back by a penaity and was forced to kick on the last down.

The ball was fumbled by the L'jyon quarterback and Archie Brinn, the Y. 0. eentre, fell on the ball on Unions 7-vard line. ln three downs the ball was advanced to the one-foot line. Ju.t then the advance was interrupted by the whistle announcing the end of the quarter.

In the next play Egan dived over the line. What happened beneath the pile of plavers no one knows, but the ball und in the possession of one of the I'nion men. Referee Thorpe ruled it was a touchback. Magalhan and Hoehule did the best plaving for t'nion. Archie Brinn, on the Violet eleven, showed his aaeal skill in breaking through and plays.

Gardener, end, had an off dav, for he only succeeded in catching two out of seven forward passes thrown to him. The line-uv follows: i ni. n. T. r.

H. I V. Tlma et mmutaa Army Has Scare Before Oliphant Saves the Day WEST POINT, N. Oct. Army won from Villanova.

to-day, 21 to 7, in a game which, while interest? ing, gave the cadets' supporters much food for thought. Villanova has a habit of causing trouble at the Point. and to-dav was no exception to the rule. Th'e Pennsylvania collegians usually score, and a few years ago they beat the cadets. It looked for a time to-day as if the cadets were to be beaten again, cspe cially at the close of the initial pe? riod, which ended 7 to 0 ln Villa nova's favor.

But mighty work by Oliphant and Wicks turned the tide of battle, and the goldiers closed the first half on even terms. at 7 to 7. McGuickin and Ewing starred ln a series of well executed alrline plays, this combination ringing the score gong within three minutes after the opening of the initial period, when Ewing took one of McGuickin's long passes over for a score. McGuickin kicked the goal. Oliphant and Wicks carried the ball from midfield to a touchdown in the second period, Wicks going over on a play through the line from the 10-yard line.

Oliphant kicked the goal. In the opening of the second half the soldiers djsplayed their best form Here the West Point line played real football and laid out Villanova's lighter forwards, the shifty Oliphant going through for long gains, one of them a dash of thirty yards, which nettcd him a touchdown. He also kicked this goal. Watkins carried McGuickin's poor boot flt the kick-off back to midfield and from there Oliphant and Horr worked overhead plays, three in a row, two of them successfully, until Horr dnshed over the line for a score. Again Oliphant kicked making the total 21 points.

The final period was a stand-off until McGeehan inter cepted an Army pass at midfield. From this point McGuickin, first to Ewing then to McGrady, worked passes until the ball rested on the Army's 20-yard line. A penalty for roughing the catcher took the ball to tne Army's 10-yard line, where the whistle saved the cadets. The line-up: Armv Tl Rrrh.rdion Knlghl r. Coaa O.

Cochran'. high run wafl 133 and bia average 48, Blue and White Eleven Unable to Hold Its Lead Cochran Kicks Two Goals From Field in First Period, but Williams Overcomes This Advantage in Second Quar? ter, Thanks to Brilliant Playing of Boynton Mr. Boynton, of Williamstown, met the Columbia team on South Field yesterday afternoon and defeated them by a score of 9 to 6.

This, being interpreted, means that Boynton, quarterback for the Williams eleven, lived up to the reputation that came to N'ew York ahead of him nnd both through his generalship and by individual stellar playing piloted the Williams boys to victory over the Morningside eleven. If Howard Miller had been working with the Columbia boys Boynton might have found an opponent worthy of him, but yesterday's playing revealed no one of the Blue and White team who could counterbalance the energetic little Williams quarter. Columbia scored all her points in the first quarter, when Williams, as the older fans observed, was futilely try? ing some of Carlisle's old shift plays. The second quarter gave Williams her i turn at the scoring, and ahe, too, made i in this single period all the points she i carried away. Columbia made Its icore through Cochran, who booted in a neat place ment kick after only a few minutes of play, and direetly afterward put across i a drop kick fro mthe 15-yard line.

Safety for Williams I William3 scored first a safety, when Houlihan, one of Columbia's backs, was tumbled backward over the Coalumbia goal line by Boynton's tackling. Then, just before the end fthe second pe riod, Boynton intercepted a Columbia pass, and then hurled a successful one of his own to Brown, left end of the I Williams eleven, who made a spectacu lar run of flfty yards for a touchdown. Canapery, who at all other moments plaved a first-rate game for Columbia, fell and missed the tackle that might have stopped the runner. Boynton fol? lowed up with ar.other of his little favors to the Purple by kicking the goal. Scoring was over when thc halfway mark had been passed, but the play shifted rapidly from end to end of the all through the last half with a speed that kept the spectators entirely awake.

A drop kick erTort of Boynton's late in the third period went wide of the posts. In the same quarter, after the appearanco of Coach Walker on the tield had inflicted a 10-yard penaity on the Williams eleven, Cochran likewise missed a whot at the Columbia goal. Memmott, auhstituted in the fourth I quarter for the wornout Canapory, I seemed too dazed to make the most of a couple of char.ees at big gains when he block.d Williams' kicks. Some tine t. ckling by Weinrtein, Columbia's sub? stitute right end, stopped the gains that Williams might have made durmg this last period.

The kick-off was won by Williams, I which held Columbia to the 5-yard line. I Shaw, the nimble-footed traek man at 1 Columbia's fullback position, carried i the ball fifteen yards. and a series of other advances iwelled the gain to forty. One of the few successful Columbia forward jiassei, from Houlihan to Can I apery, put the ball a single yard from I the goal, where it was fumbled and kicked out by Williams. Cochran re ceived the bail, signalled for a place i ment kick and landed the first three points.

Another Forward Another forward, from Houlihan to Rosen, put (olumbia on the 15-yard line only a couple of plays later. and 1 here Cochran ofT Columbia's score with a drop aick. Williams had the edge on Columbia in forward passing. Although (. bia was led direetly to her iconnjrby succesiful forward passing in the first quarter, fumblei were the general rule Williams, Columbia, 6 wurtama (9'.

The line was far from im pregnable, but held together at criti ral moments, especially at one time in I the second half, when the Columbia quarter tried te push through when almost on the goal line. i Rosen showed himself a hard-work ing, conscitantious player, but many eomplaints have been urged against his use of his forces. It was especially noticeable that little opportunity for 'open work was given Shaw, whose long running featured last week's game. In addition to Boynton, Brown and Strong, the two ends, played a first class game for Williams.

The final score was: Navy, S9; Haverford, 0.

The eorrtple tion of this game, with its big score, gives the Middies a total of 212 points to 0 over her last three opponents. The two other victims were the Indians and Maryland State. Although they continued their win nings, the Middies did not play so good a game to-day against the Redskins last week. Had this been so their tally would have gone over the century mark. There was neither much team work nor machtne-like precision in getting interference together or in following the formations through.

I'oach Dobie, after his 'varsity had in the three fint ptriods totalled seventy five, sent thfl first stringers to the gym mado many subititutions from his crubs. It not until this had oc curred that the visitors were able to niakr a first down. Their first and only covering of the required ten yards in four down. followed the iaterccption of a forward pass. Only five tirres did the Middies try the forward pass method of gair.ing.

Two of these were good; one of them from Combs to Ingram netted twenty five yards. Two were muffed and one was intercepted. All three of the lat? ter occurred after the wholesale sub stitutions had taken place. The regu lars, after trying out their opponents for the first few minutes of play, were eontent to resort to line plunging and end plays, helpcd out by Perry'j punt mg. In the lat.ter department they had great advantage, as all of Perry's four t.unts were fumbled.

This was to a due to the fact that Leonard was so hurried by the dash upon him of tho Navy forward, who broke through at will. The line-up and summarv: N-? (ti). H.TBrfort (nl "na HrtmMirf. Ll. KT Bro-7, L.

Forward passes were frequent. The playinp of Meehan at quarter for Syracuse, who booted two pretty drop kicks for field goals, and the sneedy local centre, featured the one sided engagement.

He played in turn practicallf every position on the Rutgers tearn bcforo the battle ended. Wlth his team on the offensiTe, Robe son was wont to leap high in the air to grab forward passes whenever ha saw that the man they were intended for was in another sector of the battle? field.

On the defence he was kept just as busy on the few oceasions when Eordham appeared at all likely to maka a score. All Over the Field Robeson was supposed to play full back on the defensive, and he did, but never did a fullback range so widely he. If there was a gap in the lina Robeson hlled it. If the Rutgera end? were the bit remiss in stopping I the dashflfl of Erwig and Frisch, Robe son was on hand to prevent any stantial progriv-s. The dark cloud was omnipresent.
