Grinding around, around, around with the eight other teams, the four leaders eyed each other like fighting cocks. Suddenly at the end of one sprint "Torchy" Feden shot ahead of the pack and was 50 yd. in the lead before the chase began. Crafty little Letourner was ready for him as Peden came scooting around to shove him to a flying start. Crouched low over the handlebars, their fundaments raised high, Debaets & Hill pedaled madly. Eleven times they zipped around the bowl, the red-shirted team pulling farther and farther ahead until finally Peden caught up with Hill from behind...

...after a march from midfield. Notre Dame's smiling Halfback Nick Lukats ripped through and around Army's line, did not stop until he had rammed over Army's goal. Quarterback Bonar kicked the extra point. A few minutes later Lukats sent a prodigious kick 70 yd. to Army's 8-yd. line where Notre Dame's giant Tackle "Moose" Krause downed it. In Buckler's place, a yearling named Simons dropped back to punt. He juggled the ball, and in that moment Notre Dame's Left End Wayne Millner tore through, blocked...

Starting slowly, as usual, Princeton found itself about to kick from its own 20-yd. line. As Halfback "Chick" Kaufman dropped back to punt, Yale's Tackle John Milcullen rushed through, blocked the kick. The ball rolled beyond the end zone, giving Yale a safety and its only score of the day. Thereafter Princeton settled down to the business of driving through four touchdowns. The first...

Against Yale, Harvard looked nothing like the team which had muddled through an undistinguished season. It blocked neatly, booted superbly, tackled savagely, and let loose a phenomenal forward passing attack. One pass came early in the first period when ham-handed Halfback Danny Wells shot one 45 yd. to Chet Litman. Three plays later a short pass to Quarterback Bob Haley made the touchdown. In the next period Wells again sent a pass whistling 50 yd. Left End Freddy Crocker caught it, trotted across the Yale goal with nobody near him. It was after Yale had battered through a touchdown...

...Palmer Stadium with President Harold W. Dodds, watching Princeton and Rutgers play again. It was their first game since 1915. Up to that time Rutgers had lost every game except the first. Last week's result continued that record, although Rutgers did succeed, by a 20-yd. pass and a 43-yd. run, in scoring the first touchdown of the season against unbeaten, untied Princeton...
