...With the score 7-to-7 and four minutes to play, Bill Corbus, Stanford's All-American guard, booted a place kick from the 23-yd. line over Southern California's goal posts. Thus fell, with a resounding crash, the fattest Humpty Dumpty of 1933 football and the first big one to fall. To make sure the pieces would not be put together again that day, Corbus kicked again, scored again...
...frantically against a "jinx" that it forgot the fundamentals of football. It tried to pass from its own 15-yd. line. A Purdue guard intercepted the pass, trotted across the goal. A Notre Dame fumble let Purdue forward pass to a second touchdown. Sheer demoralization permitted the third score. Three times Notre Dame penetrated beyond Purdue's 10yd. line, once to the 1-yd. line, only to collapse. It was Notre Dame's fourth shut-out of the season...

Behind a pile-driving line he made an early touchdown, only to see Navy tie the score with a 76-yd. run by Halfback "Buzz" Borries. Again in the third period Montgomery made a touchdown and the game looked safe. In the last few minutes Ed Brominski batted a Navy pass into the arms of Navy's Borries. Borries dashed for Columbia's goal...
With fearful vengeance the Law of Averages proceeded last week to settle its score against United Air Lines. In 40 million miles of flying, no passenger had been killed in a multi-motored plane of United until last month when a ship was blown up on the New York-Chicago route (TIME, Oct. 23).* Last week near Portland, Ore. another United plane of the same new type crashed into a hillside in a fog. Pilot and three passengers were killed. Copilot, stewardess and four passengers survived...
