...Undefeated or untied by any eleven this season Santa Clara's "Bronchos," after a scoreless first quarter, mowed down weak, eager Marquette. Most notable of the six touchdowns was a one-hand catch after a 42-yd. dash. Score: Santa Clara 38, Marquette...
...Stevens predicted that he would eventually be the greatest pass-catcher in Yale history. By mid-season of his sophomore year, Kelley had fulfilled this prediction. He caught passes, mostly from Yale's Quarterback Jerry Roscoe, for touchdowns against Columbia, Brown, Harvard, Princeton. The last, on a one-hand catch, broke Princeton's 15-game winning streak (17-to-0), enabled Yale to score the biggest upset of 1934. In 1935, Roscoe & Kelley functioned together as smoothly as a baseball battery. Kelley's catches of Roscoe's throws were largely what enabled Yale to beat Penn...
Stanford's stocky Tony Calvelli may have thrown them just as straight but California's Vic Bottari had better receivers. Henry Sparks started things in the second quarter with a one-hand circus grab on the goal line and after that his teammates snaggled every pass they saw, not caring which Italian boy was throwing them. To California: 20 points, the Pacific Coast's traditional Big Game, plus a special trophy, the famed Stanford Ax. To Stanford...
Meanwhile sensational Cornell fielding and steady pitching by Milligan was turning the University nine back scoreless inning after inning. The Ithacan infielders robbed the Crimson hitters of several apparently safe hits. A one-hand step by short stop Davis on McGlone's hot shot over second in the first inning and Bickley's back-hand stab of Gordon's drive in the third were the most phenomenal of the fielding features. The Crimson escaped a shut-out when Rogers reached second on an error by Henderson in right field and scored on a single by Campbell...
...Harvard player except Leekley stood out. When his scoring efforts were checked in the second half, the Crimson attack became futile. The visiting guards held the Freshman forwards to a single goal throughout the game, a brilliant one-hand shot by Eby. The absence of Captain Lightbourn materially weakened the team, especially after it became necessary to call upon the reserves...
