An Auburn undertow cost Tulane's "Green Wave" its first game in the South for four years, 19 to 7.

Harry Wells' placekick in the second period, and small Carl Pescosolido's 93-yd. runback of the kickoff at the start of the second half gave Harvard the edge over Dartmouth, 10 to 7. In the last minute of the game, Dartmouth's Halfback Dave Hedges, uncovered in the Harvard end zone, juggled and dropped the pass that would have turned the edge the other way.

One thing that lessened the gloom of a rainy Iowa homecoming was Iowa's first touchdown against a Western Conference team in three years, while Minnesota was winning, 21 to 6.

Colgate, in new red trousers and with an appalling new name— "Red Raiders of Chenango"—pumped short passes and well integrated ground plays at a N. Y. U. line that seemed to have a hinge in the middle, 14 to 0.

A scoreless tie is the most unsatisfactory score in football. Princeton had one against Cornell last fortnight. Last week it had another against Navy whose best kicking back is a tall, swarthy Chinese named Gordon Chung-hoon.

Paul Pardonner of Purdue last year kicked 13 out of 14 points after touchdown. Last week, against Northwestern, he kicked one in the third period that was a comfort in the last, when Northwestem's touchdown & goal tied the score, 7 to 7.

Onetime Navy Coach Bill Ingram took out California's triple-threat back Henry Schaldach and sent in a substitute named Arleigh Williams when Washington was a touchdown ahead. Williams did more than threaten. He went through centre for a touchdown, threw the pass for the point afterward that won, 7 to 6.
