...last time a Western team won the Challenge Cup was in 1922. Fifteen minutes after the kickoff in the second game in New York last week, sandy-haired little McLean took a pass from his 17-year-old halfback, Ollie Bohlman, sent a rightfoot hook shot into the corner of the net. The Americans evened the score with a fluky goal before the half was out but McLean got one more chance to break the tie. When there were only seven minutes left to play, he sent in a corner kick, low and wide, to his centre, Werner ("Scotty") Nilsen...
...California's claim for the U. S. "championship" began surprisingly with twelve men playing for Southern California. Coaches Jones of U. S.

The game ended even more surprisingly with Notre Dame, a fortnight after belaboring Army 21 to 0 in New York, roundly beaten for the second time this year, 13 to 0. In the first quarter occurred a prolonged, painful, unproductive collision between two of the ablest college lines...

McGuire of Wisconsin caught the kick-off and scuttled 85 yd. to a touchdown. Minnesota tied the score. Wisconsin got -another touchdown. Minnesota matched...
...will be good getting down today. It will be good when the detraining mob in North Station starts singing "Dartmouth's in Town Again." It will be good to hear the long clamant wave of sound that will climax the kickoff and to hear the blunt barking roar that greets a touchdown. The crowd at a football game is always two teased Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer lions. It will be good for a man to feel himself part of all the color, of all the good nature, of all, the expectant enthusiasm. It will be excellent to watch The Dartmouth...
