The Police, it may be said, were out without their full team, Willie Wan and Woodley being conspicuous by their absence, Gibson took the latter's place in the defence, but was of little use against the speedy Foyn. The first half ended with a 3-2 lead for the Saints, who added another point 'The first goal of the match was scored in the tenth minute when Petters-son, converted Foyn' point of the match.

Undefeated in six starts this year, mighty Notre Dame bowed to tthe Cornhuskers, 7-0, at South Bend. Most surprised team on the feld, however, was Iowa.

In the Ivy League, Tad Wieman's lean end hungry Bengals smashed Yale, 10-7, before a rabbled-rousing crowd of 48000 fans. The two clubs scored early in the game and in the dying moments it looked as if the score would remain deadlocked at Tall, Picking up steam in the final quarter, however, the Tigers drove from Yale's 46-yard line to the Eli 4-yard marker with three minutes to go, The Tigers were penalized 5 yards for delaying the game. Jovial Jo Sandbach, reserve back, then booted a field goal—the three points giving Princeton the win.

Beinn Dearg led almost the whole until a furlong from home, when Long Riggan went in front, but Beinn Dearg came again and won in the last few strides. He covered the 1% miles in two minutes 423 seconds. The betting was 9-1 Beinn Dearg; 10-1 Long Riggan; 8-1 Bellman.
