29. A typically hard-fought West Vir-ginia-W.

TEMPLE STADIUM, PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. There was a considerable expeditionary force of experts from New York and other parts who foreswore their mid-day Thanksgiving meal to journey hither this gray day to peer at a possible ail-American candidate coached by Master Glenn Scobey Warner late of Stanford University, California. This young hero is named Dave Smukler and he comes from Glovers-ville, N. a place which is called Gloversville 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 collegiates of the candidate for Valhalla gave him no assistance whatsoever.

The stooge selected for Smukler's performance was Bucknell, which comes from Lewisburg, 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. Warner Gets Sympathy. One felt sorry for Smukler, a fine, driving back, a good passer and a willing and able blocker, but sorrier still for Old Pop 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 agreed 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. 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 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. 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 exhibit here today and it was the Bucknell line that spoiled the party.

When the Temple line charged, the Bucknell linemen merely arose and turned around, and Master Smukler batted uselessly against unyielding bastions, ramparts and buttresses of flesh. The sum total of Smukler's advances against this curious but apparently impregnable defense was 44 yards in 17 tries, and his longest gain was five yards. However, he handled the ball for practically every play, feeding it to the eventual carrier on reverses, he blocked ably, 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. Bucknell Line Superior. Bucknell came to Philadelphia with no heroes, and no candidates for a pat on the back from the football gods, and so they had parties by the name of Smith and Reznichak and particularly Miller who ran for 10 and 15 yards at a clip and looked like the kind of football players that Smuckler probably was.

But in truth these Bucknell backs had large holes through which to zig-zag, holes left by the violent intrusions of the hefty persons of the Bucknell line. 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 up to about Temple's 30-yard line. Once Temple advanced from its 10-yard line to past mid-field in five successive first downs and then bogged down. Ah, well, it was ever thus.

Smukler may be an all-America, but I cannot make you any sincere promises on that. Old Pop may have here a great and undefeated football club but It was just another team out here this afternoon getting a good pushing around. It could not have been the slippery ground because it was just as slickery for Bucknell, though I will admit that the Warner system suffers more from insecure footing. I wish that Smukler had shone brilliantly. He would have probably had the experts stayed away.

Hopes of the Crimson Tide for an invitation to represent the East and South against Stanford in the Rose Bowl classic New Year's Day soared as the avalanche of touchdowns proved a test of the Red Regiment's power. Score Five Touchdowns, Alabama's five touchdowns and four extra points sent Frank Thomas' charges into the front as the nation's leading scorer among the major teams with a total of 287 points. An indication of how they outclassed Vanderbilt is revealed in a few figures, showing Alabama 18 first downs to the Commodores' three and a total yardage of 226 to 64. The Crimson Tide scored in every period, twice in the opening frame, and for three of the touchdowns marched 65, 63 and 66 yards. Taking the ball on its own 35-yard line midway in.

the opening period, Alabama drove to its initial score, Jimmy Angelich going around end to the goal from the four-yard stripe. Featuring this jaunt were a 20-yard run by Howell and a 39-yard sprint by Angelich. Riley Smith, junior quarterback, who had already converted 19 extra points out of 24 attempts, added this one to his total. March for Another Score. A few minutes later the Tuscaloosa Terrors marched from their own 37-yard stripe for another touchdown, Howell crossing the goal on a wide sweep of 21 yards around end.

As the second period got under way, Howell took a Vanderbilt punt and raced down the field 42 yards to the Commodores' 24. Joe Dem-yanovich, hard driving fullback, and Angelich picked up two first downs and the former plowed through the center of the line for a touchdown from the one-yard mark. Alabama added its fourth touchdown early in the third period. It came after the most spectacular run of the conflict, as Angelich leaped into the air to intercept a pass from Dixon on his 30 and dashed down a clear field to the goal, Smith again adding the extra point. As the final period started the Tide had the ball on its 34-yard line and from that point paraded for its last score, with Howell cutting through left guard for the touchdown from the 15-yard marker.

Both Score Again. W. J. made a brief flurry after this but after making three straight first downs, the Mountaineer line stiffened and took the ball on its own 31. After two exchanges of kicks, the burly West Virginians began another touchdown march.

Slate began it by running back a punt 15 yards to W. 46-yard line. Allen then circled left end for 25 yards and passed to Goodwin in the next play for 14 to put the ball on the five-yard mark. Allen made four of these then Thomas plunged it over for the tally. Onder kicked goal this time and the score was 14-6.

The Presidents didn't go down without fighting, however, despite knowing that another touchdown wasn't enough to win. Taking the hall at midfield, Rosso threw a long pass to Croft who was behind the Mountaineer secondary when he caught the ball on the 20 and raced for a touchdown. It was a total gain of 50 yards. An attempted forward pass for the extra point failed. Lineun: WASH-JEFF 12.

All-Stadium Eleven. The seventh annual All-Stadium eleven, comprised of players who appeared at the Stadium this year, finds Pitt and Minnesota dominating the picture as they have the football horizon. Both the Panthers and Gophers placed four men each on the first team. It is significant to note, too, that Pitt put four men on the second team.
