By the Associated Press. AMBRIDGE, Mass., October 18.—The poorest punt that Barry Wood ever kicked tor Harvard gave the hard-fighting Army team a touch- down and a 6-0 victory over the Crimson here today before the en- tire Cadet Corps and 57,000 other spectators who crowded the sta- dium to its limit. ‘This victory, the second the Cadets have scored in the series of 16 foot ball battles with the Crimson, was earned early in the opening period when Wood, who tied the Cadets last year by com- pleting a last-minute-scoring forward to Victor Harding, stood on the Crim- son’s 20-yard stripe and was so rushed by the Army’s veteran forwards that he was only able to boot a 12-yard kick th:zt was crounded on Harvard's az-w yard line. i The game was less than five minutes .old when this break fell to the over- | Joged Cadets. Carver, the starting| quarterback, was promptly yanked in; favor of the more experienced Bowman, and the Army drive got under way. Halfback Letzelier tested the Crimson | o, line for a yard and Bowman plunged off his t tackle for 15 yards.

BY EDWARD J. NEIL, Assoclated Press Sports Writer. EW HAVEN, Conn., October 18.—Albie Booth, mighty little man of Yale, flitted through a rugged Brown eleven today with all the fire and improbability of a sports hero of fiction, retired to the side lines, and then came back with the roars of 40,000 worshippers in his ears to stave off the desperate bid of the enemy and turn a foot ball game into a rout. The little fellow was all Yale had for an offense, but he was all Yale needed. Starting his first game for Old El, withdrawn from the “climax” role that been his part in the Yale plan of attack since he first dazzled the op- position last Fall, Alble led every sus- tained attack, scored one touchdown, put the ball in position for another, and neatly drop-kicked a 25-yard.field loll for his part in the 21-0 victory. than that, after leaving the nme near the end of Lhe first half, with Yale leading by apparently safe margin of 12 to 0, AIMeuwmm- self called back at the start of the is mat ht the heart of any oppor- trotted back into the lo-ynd line. times at the center of & mnnd def for downs of a ly for roughing, sli tackle to Brown's 7 and went over in two more plays.

OTRE DAME STADIUM, South Bend, Ind., October 18.—They're still the “fighting Irish.” They're still undefeated.

ON THE SIDE LINES With the Sports Editor By DENMAN THOMPSON HERE still are a number of candidates for the much-coveted foot ball championship of this broad country, and many things can happen before the mythical title is awarded some two months hence, but no team is entitled to greater con- sideration at this writing than Rockne’s rambunctious Ram- blers. ‘While a Notre Dame victory over Carnegie Tech was not, in itself, an upset, the 21-to-6 margin was something of a surprise, and in view of the acknowledged strength of the Tartans notice has been served on all and sundry aspirants for the crown that the South Benders are in the field with another machine of unques- tioned class. The speed, strength and great assortment of mystifying plays boasted by Carnegie Tech proved unavailing before the power displayed by the Notre Dame forces. The Plaid was touted as the toughest of a tough lot scheduled for the Hoosiers this Fall, but if this proves to be the case, the latter should battle through another campaign without a defeat to mar their record. AVY'’S reverse at the hands of Duke was a sad blow to the Annapolis contingent, while Army adherents, on the other hand, were highly gratified by its defeat of a formidable Har- vard eleven. Tennessee's loss to Alabama, while not entirely unexpected, in view of the extensive injur- ies suffered by the Knoxville squad, was one of the most notable of the day, considering it was the first defeat inflicted on it since 1926, and the rout- ing of Illinois by Northwestern must be rated as an achieve- ment for the Purple, which was performing minus the services of its hard-luck star, Bruder. The sloughing Pennsylvania recelved from Wisconsin, after the long trip out to Madison, served to greatly dampen en- thusiasm that had been felt anent the prospects of the Red and Blue, and Princeton’s old" grads found nothing to cheer about in the result of the Tig- er’s clash with Cornell. About the only thing demon- strated by Maryland’s 21-to-13 conquest of St. John’s was that the College Park reserves, who functioned near the close of the contest, leave much to be de- sh‘ed, and to the question ow good is Georgetown?” no utl.uhcu)ry answer was re- ceived from the 10-0 setback inflicted on it by Western Maryland. ‘The Hoyas were decmvely licked, more so than the figures indicate, but the outcome Zimmerman broke away for a 51-yard run. In the last quarter its third touchdown when Tied the ball over, served more to indicate the Green Terrors are a really for- midable outfit, rather than that Tom Mills, in his initial season at the Hilltop, is direct- ing a mediocre-aggregation. IF night foot ball has accom- plished nothing else, it has enabled its followers here to obtain a much more extended diet of the sport than was pos- sible prior to this season. Under conditions formerly existing a fan had to take his choice of the games avallable Saturday afternoon and learn about the others through the columns of his favorite newspaper. It’s far different now. For instance, it was possible for grid enthusiasts of the Capital, after witnessing the inaugural of the high school championship series between Tech and Business at Central Stadium Friday afternoon to take in the George Washing- ton-South Dakota clash at the ball park that night, and yes- terday they were able either to view the Maryland-St. John’s tilt at College Park, or the Georgetown-Western Mary- land fracas at Baltimore, and then top it off with a visit last night to Clark Grifith Stadium to see the Catholic University- Loyola contest. Four grid games in the space of two days—and no long hauls involved. That's as many games as the average base ball addict takes in in the course of a week. UR old f d “Constant Reader” writes in to in- quire what we think about what the future holds for night base ball in the major leagues. That's easy. It hasn’t any Unquestionably the night version of the national pastime has gotten a footing in the minors, but despite the suc- cess it has attained there it still must be classed as a novel- ty—an experiment—and we are inclined to doubt it will even be tested in the big leagues. To date, night base ball has proved profitable practically everywhere it has been tried, but with few exceptions this has been in the smaller com- munities, where potential pa- trons are unable to attend aft- ernoon games because they have to work. In the larger cities this situation does not exist. If night base ball continues to prosper it will be because of the patronage of fans who are unable to take in games of the normal—and far more satisfactory—day-time brand. DDY RUEL, veteran re- ceiver of the Senators, was round about the Capital last week calling on friends before departing for his home in St. Louis, where he will spend the Winter, but he threw no light on the report the Boston Red Sox are interested in acquiring him as manager to succeed Heinie Wagner, ncently re- signed. . Ruel explained lh presq in Boston for more than a week after close of the season as an annual custom of his and merely a coincidence so far as the managerial rumors are con- cerned, while Griff reiterated he had not been ag{:mnched on the subject by fellow club president, Bob Quinn, which would be the necessary initial step. From Rochester, N. Y., word was received by local head- quarters that the injuries re- ceived last week by Pitcher Alvin Crowder in an auto acci- dent were more painful than serious. According to a tele- gram from Mrs. Crowder the General received a fractured rib in the mishap, but is ex- pected to be up and about within a few days.

OS ANGELES, October 18.—Smil- ing Glenna Collett, the wonder girl of American golf, reached new and brilliant heights today when she stroked her way to her fifth | national women’s title with a 6 and, 5 victory over Virginia Van Wie of Chi- cago, in the 36-hole finals of the 1930 classic. As calmly as though out for a couple of practice rounds, the defending cham- plon of the last two years pitted her mastery of the woods and irons against the challenge of her younger rival. Ob- livious to everything, including fre- quent applause from several thousand spectators, Miss Collett set a steady pace that produced the best golf of the tournament. Pressed only duri the first nine holes, which she finished 1 up on the Chicago contender, the champion set out to make history in the second half of the morning round. Three birdies and a spectacular eagle followed. She finished the morning round in 76, five under women’s par for the sharply trapped, rolling north course of the Los Angeles Country Club. Her first nine card read 40, one over par, but she trimmed half a dozen strokes off g: for the second nine. For the 31 holes she played, she was six under par, Miss Van Wie, poor off the tee and erratic in her putting, turned the morning round in 41—42— Birdie Ends Match. Five holes to the good, Miss Collett was forced to bow to better golf on the nineteenth and twenty-first, but at the twenty-fifth she had won back the two, and at the twenty-eighth increased her he | margin to 6 up. Miss Van Wie made the blue ribbons of the day. It was he who. in the final minutes of the last period, took the ball on an off-tackle play and ran 61 yards for the decisive touchdown. Stepping back a moment later, Monnett klck the extra point, less than a minute before the game ended. Michigan State appeared to ‘master the mich-vaunted Colgate offensive in the opening minutes of the game, rush- ing the ball into thé visitors’ territory time after time and narrowly missing opportunities to score. Neither team scored in the first two periods, although in the second State lost the ball en downs 6 inches from Colgate’s goal. In the third period, Grove, the State quarterback, caught the ball as it flip- | g ped out of Antolini’s hands and ran 40 yards for a touchdown. Monnett kicked the extra point. Colgate then took the ball and overwhelmed the Spartan line a steady drive down the field, Les Hart_taking the ball over for the score and Macaluso kicking goal. Colgate tried its steam-roller tactics in the final period only to be stopped at State’s 15-yard line. Line-Up and Summary. Colgate (7).

Miss Van Wie experienced difficulty with her woods on the morning round and after she had corrected this trouble in the afternoon, she faltered on the greens. % As a girl of 19, Miss Collett won her first national title in 1922, and she repeated in 1925.

Western Maryland, the little - school with a big foot ball team, smacked over proud - old Georgetown for the second - time in two years today. . Twelve thousand wild-eyed spec- ° tators, about half of them from Washington, saw the Green Ter- * ror cut loose with all its vaunted ; might and score a 10-to-0 victory : that was more decisive than a touchdown and field goal would indicate. ‘The touchdown was made in the first period in the only manner that George- town was conceded a chance to win.
