LIKE wary fighters “feeling out” each other, the teams exchanged punts in the first period, content to await & “break.” On the first kick- off Georgetown got a break when Meglen recovered the ball which Cecil Cook fumbled in his territory. but after making a first down the Hoyas were checked and finally lost the ball when Cook intercepted a pass on his goal line and ran to Miami’s 15, from ‘where Wolcuff punted out of danger. Miami outplayed the Hoyas in the first period and at the outset of the second quarter it looked as though the visitors would draw first blood. Confusion in the Hilltop backfield re- sulted in a loose pass from center which Miami grabbed on Georgetown's 24-yard line but the Hurricane spent itself banging against the solid Hoya ‘wall and Miami, too, blew its first real ‘opportunity. It was here that Sheeran stepped into the picture. Grabbing a 15-yard pass from Tom Keating he made a first down in midfield, picked himself up and snared another pass good for 18 yards. Bob Ferrera picked up 11 more yards through tackle and Sheeran accounted for the remaining 16 yards by two more jaunts off tackle | behind good interference.

Georgetown dug in its cleats, smeared the next three plays and took possession of the ball on its 20-yard stripe when Don Gibeau intercepted a desperate fourth-down pass. Miami's next bit of passing led to the second Hoya touchdown.

TWOLAST-PERIOD SCORESGAI DAY Cardinals Play Brilliant, Foot Ball to Protect Unbeaten Record. | By a Special Correspondent of The Star. ETROIT. Mich., October 19.— Catholic University moved a | big step toward an unbeaten | foot ball season today with a | brilliant 13-7 victory over Detroit. A crowd of 15,000, at first wildly shout- | ing then sadly silent, saw the Cardi- | nals get even for a 26-0 pasting they | took from the Titans in their only other meeting, two years ago. | It was the fine passing of Adamaitis | that played an all-important role in the Washington win. Twice in the | | final period he unloosed heaves that | |went true to the mark and touch- | downs resulted, Mulligan making the | first counter and Schmarr the second. To the quick thinking of Mumganl and the speed of Schmarr as well as | catching ability can be credited plenty | of orchids for this victory. Late in the fourth Adamaitis passed to Mulligan, | who was away with only one man to stop him. Mulligan was downed on the Detroit 10-yard line with Schmarr running near by. As Mulligan fell he tossed the ball to Schmarr and the latter dashed 8 yards over the goal. Both teams offered a low-chargini line that madg it tough for either to | get places. Most of the yardage piled | up from scrimmage was around end. Cards Best Passers. | AT THE forward passing game Detroit, which was supposed 10 be | “aces” in this respect, was forced to| bow to a superior in Catholic Uni- | versity. The latter kept the air alive with passes, particularly in the final quarter, a total of 19 being attempted Nine were completed for a total of 158 yards as against three out of eight completed by Detroit for only 15 vards. | Penalties Halt Cards. C. U. SCORE mighf have resulted in the first quarter had no. & 15-yard penalty halted things. The second quarter was another see- saw affair with both teams playing | heads-up, fighting foot ball. 1 It appeared as if luck was going to play into Detroit hands in the rhird quarter, for at its start Makotske's quick kick was blocked and recovered by Detroit on the C. U. 28. The ruck pendulum swung back when Piper, forced to punt, kicked only 7 yards. Foley punted shortly after and toward the end of the quarter made & beaul- ful punt that went out of bounds on Detroit’s 3. Detroit punted out of danger and Makofske and Carroll started a march toward the Detroit goal only to ve stopped by another 15-yard penalty. The quarter ended with Detroit hold- l ing the ball on its 26-yard line. 1 C. U. Victim of Quick Kick. SQCORING was quickly in evidence in the fourth. Weiczorek got away a quick kick that went to the | Catholic 6-yard line. Foley prated immediately to Lutz on the Cataolic 42 and he was downed on the 26.

Princeton Gathers Four Late Scores to Beat Rutgers, 29-6 B the Associated Press. s RINCETON, N. J.. October 19.— I ) A final quarter rally. which produced four touchdowns in double quick order, enabled the Princeton foot ball machine to defeat its oldest rival, Rutgers, by 29 to 6, today and thereby hold its place as one of the East's undefeated teams.

EW HAVEN, Conn., October 19 —Against a background of the most colorful pagentry and the biggest crowd so far this | season along the Eastern foot ball | front, Yale’s smartly coached team capitalized its alert defense today to | save a one-point lead and turn back the Navy, 7 to 6. “ A crowd of 60,000, largest that has poured into the huge Eli Bowl since | 1931, saw Yale strike quickly in the first period, gain the upper hand in & closely-fought game and turn back all but one of the Navy's counter- | thrusts, chiefly through the effective- | ness of the Blue's anti-aircraft de- fense. | Past-stepping Al Hessberg of Albany. |a sophomore ball-carrier. circled | Navy's right end for the Eli touch- | down as the climax of a 42-yard drive, involving only a half dozen plays, but the decisive extra point was booted by a substitute lineman, Henry Gardner, jr., of Winnetka, Ill. Navy is Outsmarted. (GARDNER, a specialiét, was sent into the game just for this one play. It paid dividends when Irwin Fike, Navy end, failed to get the ball over the cross-bar with his place-kick in the third period following a 58- yard touchdown drive led by Fullback John Schmidt. Navy's powerful attack. featuring two compiete teams. outrushed the Elis. The Middies gained eight first downs to Yale's five, but were out- |played and outsmarted by the | speedier Elis at nearly every critical point. Three times Navy's scoring threats were abruptly ended by inter- cepted passes. Twice Jerry Roscoe, Yale's brisk quarterback. plucked Navy passes from the air, while Bernie Rankin grabbed a third and galloped 68 yards for the day's longest run. Yales' third straight conquest of the | 1935 season and Navy's first setback was marked by extraordinary color and pageantry. Although they lost the ball | them right on their way.

Craig Good, But Army Bogs. CRAIG was good—reeling off 32 yards in one first-quarter burst from a fake kick formation, 24 another time, then 10, but for the first 15 minutes Army was helpless once the charge reached Harvard's 30-yard line. Craig's passes failed and the holes closed in front of him Once Johnny Adzigian, fleet littie Crimson back. raced one of his tosses back 25 yards to mid-field. There seemed a fine chance for the happy throng, cheering every one indiscrim- inately and wildly against the colorful background of the hills and Autumn foliage, to witness one of the out- standing upsets of the day But Meyer, once released, would have none of that. Replacing Craig at the start of the second half, his 159 pounds hurdling through holes, game, the brigade of Midshipmen €ap- | his arm pitching perfect strikes, Monk tured the crowd's fancy by a spectacu- lar show between halves.

The Elis lacked a scoring punch after the first period, but dis- played real skill and alertness on the defense to keep the hard-charging Midshipmen under control. When the six-man Eli line didn’t break up Navy’s running plays, most of them starting from the Notre Dame shift, Yale's fast backs came to the rescue. 1 Navy completed only 3 out of 13 passes, including a 27-yard toss, Ing- ram to King, that put the ball on Yale's 29 near the close of the second | period.

Verne Struck, a heroic defensive figure in the Harvard backfield, grabbed one of Meyer's passes early in the third quarter, just as Adzigian had done. delaying the young man slightly, but not for long. Meyer launched the second and last Army scoring drive from his own 30 with a 25-yard dash off tackle, and with the aid of only one 8-yard pass and two plunges by Grohs, brought the ball to Harvard's 9. He stepped back there and pitched a perfect touchdown pass into the arms of Grove, ending his major work for the day. Harvard Attack Weak.
