...very day TIME came out one of Brickley's and Mills' pupils was making football history. Bob Greene who has been coached by Brickley and Mills during the past weeks won a thrilling game with 30 seconds to play when he booted a perfect angular 40 yd. dropkick to give Bronxville a 9-to-7 victory over Pelham. I thought you might be able to use this, so I'm passing it along...
...swift-footed Buckler took the ball on the run, drew back his arm as if to pass. While the Yale defense scattered. Buckler might streak around end. Or he might pass, while sprinting like a jackrabbit. Seven times his passes plumped into Army hands for total gains of 148 yd.

Minnesota's sophomores jolted big, strong Pitt with its first defeat of the season, 7-10-3. Tulane's Halfback Bucky Bryan received the second-half...
Surprise of the week: Eleven Oregon State college players, unrelieved by substitutes, held powerful Southern California to a scoreless tie, broke the latter's string of 25 consecutive victories. U. S. C. made twelve first downs to Oregon State's one, gained 238 yd. to Oregon's 62. U. S. C. came nearest to scoring with a forward pass which Oregon Halfback Franklin intercepted on his goal line...
