Nothing in Booth's football career could possibly be so spectacular as the game against Army in 1929. But the Dartmouth game last week closely approached it. After Dartmouth's field goal in the second period, Booth caught the kick-off on his 6-yd. line, balanced himself on his toes for an instant, ran back 94-yd. with negligible interference, for a touchdown.

Northwestern, favored for this year's Big Ten championship, bottled Ohio's best backs, gained 371 yd. from scrimmage, won, 10 to 0, with Rentner's touchdown, Olson's extra point and field goal. Minnesota swamped Iowa 34 to 0 and Indiana, in a feebly patronized game, beat Chicago...
