...against Washington & Lee, Princeton-only Humpty of the six not yet even scored on-snapped back last week into its earlier whippet-tank style. Brown was butterfingered, Princeton on its toes, taking advantage of three fumbles and one blocked kick to pile up four touchdowns and driving 63 yd. without the help of breaks for another. As usual, one touchdown and a heavy share of the kicking, passing and line-plunging were credited to wiry halfback Garry le Van who weighs little more than 150 Ib. and whose elusive hips remind Princeton oldtimers of Don Lourie...

Then Purdue's speedy Halfback Jim Carter received the kickoff on his own lo-ycl. line, ran it 90 yd. to a touchdown.

In a flash Ohio's Right End Gillman had the ball, raced 43 yd. for the second touchdown. Ohio State's victory (12-to-0) silenced, momen tarily at least, alumni mutterings against Coach Sam Willaman...

Restless spectators moved toward the exits and Harvard rooters began celebrating a 7-to-0 victory over Dartmouth as the game drew into its final two minutes. Then a Dartmouth substitute halfback named Bill Clark ripped through tackle, tore 56 yd. to a touchdown. Another substitute, Don Hagerman, coolly kicked the extra point, and Dartmouth squeaked back into the season's undefeated list...
