These contests will open the second half of the gridiron season and the combating elevens are expected to flash an advanced brand of football.

One of the most colorful struggles between elevens representing dlf-ferwt parts of the country will take place at Columbus, where Ohio State will play Princeton. Although both teams engaged In hard games yesterday, they will be In top form for their contest on Saturday. Ohio State met Indiana and the Tigers struggled with Cornell at Princeton. Ohio State and Princeton are coached by two of the smartest football men in the country. Dr.

Wilce of Ohio State Is coaching his last year and his players are bending every effort to give him a championship. Aside from knowing every angle of the coaching game. Bill Roper of Princeton always has commanded the respect of his players. Pennsylvania, which engaged the Navy yesterday, will coma west to meet Chicago on Ptagg field. The Red and Blue eleven again la coached bv Lou Young, a former Penn player.

YPSI OUTPLAYS CENTRAL STATE Rynearson Gridders Impressive in 36-0 Victory. Mt. Pleasant, Oct.

27. Ypsilanti looked like a possible repeater for the Michigan Collegiate conference championship, when It outclassed Central State for a 36 to 0 victory here Saturday afternoon. Ypsi and Central fought out the championship battle last fall, with the former winning on a six point margin. The Green and White in-i vadcrs exhibited an accurate decep-I tive forward passing game, com-i pletely protected by a heavy hard hitting forward wall. Coach Rynearson has a quartet of fast elusive backs, who advance the ball by almost every method.

After plowing through for a touchdown on straight football to start the battle, the visitors asserted their strength in the overhead game. A muddy field did not slow up Boyd and Stltes sufficiently to spoil forward passing that accounted for the majority of the touchdowns. Central gained a few first downs through straight football, but accomplished more with forward passes. Monaghan threw the ma- jorlty of the 25 passes, of which eleven were completed. Ypsl completed seven out of 13 passes, some of which ended in a dash for touchdown.

Fifty-six Texas leaguers hit .300 or better the past season, official averages show. Ten years ago, only three achieved this honor. BIG GREEN TEAM' Crimson Comes Back After Army Defeat to Humble Dartmouth, 19-7. GUARNACCIA IS STAR Gains 104 Yards From Scrimmage, as Old Style Game Triumphs. Cambridge, Oct.

27. Old-fashioned football triumphed over the modern kind here today, and an underrated Harvard eleven handed Dartmouth Its first defeat I of the season before a capacity crowd of 54.000 by the rather handsome score of 19 to 7. It will go down in the recornj as one of the prize upsets of for those who bet had llste heavy Harvard team on the short end of 2 to 1 odds. Today Har vard eleven flashed a fighting spirit new to America's oldest university and performed in a far diffi fashion from last week, when Army took its measure, 15 to 0. Dartmouth Passe.

The Dartmouth overhead game was worked smoothly and 10 out of 24 passes attempted were Completed for a total gain of 173 yards. But Harvard met this air attack with a smooth working lad i game, which gained a total of 61 yards In five completed. Backing this up with a line which held like iron and intercepted four long Dartmouth passes at crucial periods, th Crimson kept the Big Green well In hand. The Crimson offensive was led In masterly fashion by Captain French and Guarnaccla, backfield mainstays, who gained from scrlmmag 86 yards and 104 yards, respectively. But these stars did not capture all the glory, for they were ably supported by Tom Gllllgan, 20-year-old sophomore, who was back in his old form after suffering a relapse In last week's Army game.

The Big Green carried on furiously In an effort to tie up the score, fighting Into the twilight with passes Its major weapon. Captured Pass Fatal. Aside from Its last period touchdown, Dartmouth threatened Harvard's goal line only once, and that advance was halted when the second period ended. Interception of a forward pass on Harvard's 48-yard line paved the way for the first Crimson touchdown early In the game. Line plunges by Guaranaccla and French and two five-yard l-)arimouin pen-! altles advanced the ball to Dartmouth's 14-yard marker, from where French dashed over for the touch-I down.

Crawford's try for point was blocked. Early In the second period an exchange of punts gave Harvard the ball on Dartmouth's 38-yard line. Two passes and line plunges i advanced the ball to Dartmouth's 11-yard line, and Guaranaccla dash-i ed around right end for the second touchdown. Crawford again failed at the extra point. This I'uss Scores.

A steady march down the field led to Dartmouth's only touchdown i in the final quarter. After advanc-' Ing the ball to Harvard's 12-yard line Brelthut, on the fourth down, passed to Stokes, who went over for the touchdown. Brelthut booted the goal. Times year! punts were by Price and Slmrall, for 53 and 51 yards respectively. Fumbling honors were about even, each eleven having one costly one chalked against It.

Penalties were few considering the avalanche of passes, through the totals, 40 for Michigan and 35 for Wisconsin, arc none too good. FIRST DOWNS. Michigan 11. Four by rushing Rnd seven by passes. Wisconsin 14 Ten by rushing and four bv passes.

YARDS FROM SCRIMMAGE. Michigan 85 in 33 tries. Wisconsin 168 in 58 tries. FORWARD PASSES. Michigan attempted 27.

Eleven completed for 134 yards; two intercepted. Wisconsin attempted 19. Completed 7 for 120 yards, one Intercepted. Michigan averaged 32 yards on 11 kicks. Wheeler 30 on 10, Slmrall 51 on 1.

Wisconsin averaged 31 yards on 15 kicks. Price 35 yards on Lusby 30 on 11. PENALTIES. Michigan 40 yards, Wisconsin S5 yards. South Carolina, Iowa, and Minne-: ita, cannot be expected to beat ie Quakers.

Coach Stagg of Chi-i-Hgo has not the material for a strong team and Maroon supporters undoubtedly will be satisfied If Chicago holds Penn tn a low score. Chicago met Purdue yesterday. The Boilermakers, although defeated by Minnesota, came back on the following week-end and held Wisconsin to a IS to 19 tie. Notre Dame and Penn State, two defeated elevens, will meet on Franklin field, Philadelphia. Result of this game will be followed closely by those interested in the combating elevens.

Otherwise there Is nothing at stake. Neither Rockne of Notre Dame or Bezdek of Penn State have the men around whom to mold strong elevens. Alabama, which lost a closely fought game to Tennessee, 15 to 13, will come north to clash with Wisconsin at Madison. The southern team Is coached by Wallace Wade, a former Brown player. Aside from comparing the styles of play In the two sections not much interest will center around this contest.

The other Intersectional games bring together De Pauw of Green-castle, and the Army at West ''olnt, Mississippi Aggies and Michigan State at Lansing and Wabash at Colgate. Two Features In Big Ten. In the middle west the struggles between Illinois and Michigan at Ann Arbor, and Minnesota and Northwestern at Evanston, will command the interest of followers of Big Ten football. Although the Wolverines and Purple have been defeated they are strong enough to furnish stiff opposition for their, opponents. Purdue and Iowa have easy games listed.

The former will meet Case at Lafayette and the latter will engage South Dakota at Iowa City. Indiana has no game scheduled. The struggle between Dartmouth and Yale at New Haven will command all Interest In the east. Both elevens engaged In hard contests yesterday. Old Ell engaged the Army at New Haven and the Green met Harvard at Cambridge.

Both Dartmouth and Yale enthusiasts have been laying advance claims to the eastern title. Cornell and Columbia will meet In New York City in another Interesting contest and Pittsburgh and Syracuse will tangle in the Smoky City. Stanford Meets Trojans. On the Pacific coast, the battle between Stanford and Southern California at Los Angeles will command all interest. Southern California was held to a scoreless tie by California, while Stanford has won all Its conference games.

The game practically will determine the championship of the coast. In the other eames of note Washington will meet Idaho on the latter's field and Oregon will journey to Berke- lev to Dlnv California. In the Mlsourl valley section. Nebraska and Kansas will battle at Iwrence in the most Important struggle. Missouri should defeat Drake at Des Moines and Iowa State will entertain Oklahoma at Ames.

Kentuckv, which succumbed to Northwestern, 7 to 0, after an interesting struggle will play Vander-bllt at Nashville In one of the leading games in the south. Texas and Southern Methodist will clash at Austin. Texas Christian, and Baylor at Fort Worth, Florida and Sewanee at Jacksonville, and Alabama Poly and Georgia at Columbus, Ga. RUBBER BOTTOM HELPS BOAT WIN Wilmington, N. Oct.

This, according to Eugene Plck-ard, of Wilmington, who drove the craft to Its victories, gives It a perfectly smooth se. vlce enabling It to glide over the water with extreme ease. i I GEORGETOWN HUMBLES DUKE Carolina Eleven That Worried Navy Crumbles Before Hilltopper Drive.

Final Score Is 35 to 0 Jim Mooney Kicks Five Field Goals. Washington, D. Oct. 27. (A.

Duke's offense kept the Navy nervous last Saturday but it gave Georgetown only a perfunctory Workout today and the Carolina team's defense buckled and snapped under a driving attack. The score i was: Georgetown, 35; Duke Unlver- city, 0. Duke threatened only once near the end of the second period. Buie led an attack that placed the ball on Georgetown's 10-yard mark. The forward passing attack of the North Carolina team helped Georgetown, two touchdowns resulting indirectly, and one directly from In-1 terceptcd tosses.

Dwyer intercepted a Duke pass in the first period and I a drive began that ended when Dwyer skirted around end and fell over the goal. Near the end of the period a Duke player interfered with a George- town pass receiver and the Hill-toppers got the ball on the seven-yard. mark, Barbaras, fullback, carrying it over in two line plunges. Starting the third period Duke fumbled on its 20-yard line and Georgetown drove to the five-yard line mark. Here the Southerners dug their heels into the moist turf and held.

Bule punted but not out of danger. Duke halted another threat only to have Duplin throw a pass for 25 yards to Tomaini. The weary Duke line let Bozek squirm over the final white line. The fourth touchdown came through an Intercepted Duke pass and a 15-yard end run by Duplin. The last tally of the game was recorded when Bule fumbled, recovered, and flung the ball wildly.

Barbaras caught it and ran for a touchdown. Jim Mooney, Georgetown tackle, kicked five goals after touchdown. FORDSON TIED BY RIVER ROUGE Fordson was held to a scoreless tie by River Rouge of the South-Qftera league yesterday In a hard fought game. Fordson lost a chance for a victory in the final minute of play when a receiver went beyond the end zone to catch a pass that would have given his team the winning touchdown. RtVMl Ron Ft 'HI 'SON.

Ann Arbor, Oct. 27. The effectiveness of the forward pass as employed by both Michigan and Wisconsin was conspicuous In the bril-lant attacks shown here today. It was truly a game of the air, and the Wolverines unleashed their first real offensive of the season. Michigan made good on 11 out of 27 attempts for a gain of 134 yards.

The aerial heaves, mainly of a Wol-1 verine end, Joe Truskowski, were I responsible for seven of the 11 first chalked up by the Maize and Blue. Captain Rich figured promi-1 nently in the aerial attack, sharing six passes himself, four of them being from Truskowski in the last period. Badgers' Passes Longer. The Badger passes were responsible for the lone score and were generally longer than Michigan's Lusby living up to his reputation, Wisconsin completed 7 out of 19 at- tempts for 120 yards. Only one Badger toss was Intercepted, to two for Michigan.

Though Wisconsin's passing was effective. It accounted for only four of 14 first downs, the Badgers carrying the ball a total of 168 yards In 58 tries. Michigan, too, showed to advant-aft at hitting the line for the first 1 time this season. The Wolverines, led by Gembis, pounded the line for yards in 33 tries, for practically the same average as the Badgers, Putting Is Ordinary. Both teams did mediocre to poor punting, the Wolverines averaging yards on 11 attempts, while the visitors averaged one less yard In 15 kicks.

Western State Swamp City College Under 45 to 0 Score in First Home Game. Kazoo Backs Gain Almost at Will Through Lighter Line. Western State's bone crushing attack plus brilliant Interference by the backs, gave them an easy 45 to 0 victory over City college football team at Roosevelt field yesterday. It was the first Michigan Collegiate conference game for both teams and the Mimics' opening home con-: test. The Kalamazoo eleven made a touchdown In the first quarter, three in the second, two in the third and in the fourth were again held to a single counter.

It was the second defeat In three games for City college. The other resulted In a tie. Since It was facing an eloven composed entirely of veterans, most of whom had seen two years' service, and outweighed to boot. Holme's eleven was not counted upon to win but the onesldedness of the gfcme came as somewhat of a surprise. Frendt Makes SO-Vnrd Run.

Almost from the outset, Earl Martlneau's team took the offensive and without cessation uptil the final whistle blew, City college was being driven back, back, towards its goal line. Twice In the game they stubbornly refused to be overcome by the odds against them but resistance as they offered was soon pushed aside. Conley, Barnhlll and Lear bore the brunt of Western State's attack, while Frendt and Malone made their presence known by open field running. Frendt's 80-year run for a touchdown In the second quarter from punt formation was the most sensational single ground-gaining play of the game. The Hilltoppers tried only a few passes, but most of what they did attempt turned out to be good.

City College did Its best playing of the game just before the end of the second and fourth quarters. And it was In the latter of the closing stanza that City College threatened to score for the first and only time during the game. City College Rallies I.nte. Pollakowski Intercepted a nass at mldfleld. Thelan completed a short pass to Thielman who ran to State's 20-yard line and the latter a series of line bucks, but farther plunged to the seven-yard line on than that point they were unable to advance.

Captain Stuart, Tommola and Weatherhead, who were still recovering from Injuries suffered In the game with Manchester last week, were in the game several quarters but were unable to assist fhelr males to any great extent.

'A. Purdue university eleven today Invaded Stagg field and smothered the University of Chicago, 40 to 0, the most decisive defeat suffered by Chicago in a decade. It was the 32nd meeting of the two on the gridiron and the fifth victory for Purdue since 1R92. "Pest" Welch and Ed. Caraway, both Texans.

were Chicago's greatest griefs. Each scored two touchdowns and Caraway kicked three goals after touchdowns. Purdue hung up only 20 flrs downs to Chicago's 13. The Maroons tried 24 passes, seven of which were intercepted eight were wild, and nine completed for a total of 159 yards. Purtlue tried only six, three of which were completed for an average of IS yards each, and the other three being Incomplete.

Welrh had to be carried off the field In the first period, but the wiry football player, so appropriately named "Pest" by his opponents, started the second half and managed to get in his share of stampeding before the game ended. Purdue owed at least half of its score to Chicago blunders, for the Maroons punted badly, passed poorly and failed to play good football when they had their one chance to score, near the end of the second period, when they failed to get the ball on the one foot mark. rmcAao.
