nz laura 4 4 -'J 1' - A- - N. Y. U.-20 Villanova-6 With Tanguay out of the line-up, due to a leg injury he had received in the West Virginia Wesleyan game, it seemed that the Violets had lost some of their vio- lence and must resort to deception to make headway. The press-agented brilliance of thc Wildcats was conspicuous by its absence and the game from the very beginning was rather dull. La Mark made two beautiful runs of 36 and 43 yards, one on a fake pass and the other on a smash through right tackle. Scores were rather scarce as compared to the two previous games. Gardner accounted for the visitors' only score on a pass in the second period, while La Mark made the grade twice and Bob MacNamara once for Alma Mater. Both McNamaras were consistent ground gainers for the Meehan men, while Casey, Geisler, and Gardner performed best for the Cats. Bob's punt average of fifty yards was a big factor in the Violet attack. H2

N. Y. U.-4I W. Va. Wesleyan-6 The second game against somewhat better opposition still failed to impress the spectators, though Wesleyan was fairly smothered by the Violet cohorts. Wlien Cliff Battles of the Orange and Black made the 65-yard run for a touchdown in the first quarter, it looked as though it might be a tough game. Meehan didn't wait long after Battles made his run before he sent his first team in. From then on, in spite of the brilliant playing and ball carrying of Mr. Battles, the game was lop-sided. Tanguay managed to score soon after he entered. The second quarter was much the same as the Hobart second, while the entire second half was the unsuccessful attempt of a worn out group of players to keep a machine from scoring. Tanguay added three more touchdowns to his record, while La Mark, Dunn, and V. Connor each crossed the goal line once. La Mark showed improvement over his work in the Hobart game. In this game N. Y. U. established a rather hard mark to shoot at by completing 10 forward passes. 171

' HI L H ba l . N. Y. U.-38 Missouri-0 Once again a game that failed really to test the Super-Sophs. Missouri came East admittedly a poor team. At no time did the visitors come closer than the 20-yard line. The work of Nemecek and Chalmers, though good in the previous games, was by far the best of the season in this game. The Violet line showed tremendous power on both offense and defense. In the second half, however, the Tigers suddenly uncorked a beautiful passing game, which for a few moments seemed to have the Violet players stopped. They scored four first downs but failed to take advantage of their opportunities. Hubert Campbell of the Tigers showed exceptional ability in his punting. La Mark, McNamara, and Tanguay, as usual, did the tallying. The latter, though playing only during the second and third quarters, scored three times. The feature of the game and the nightmare of Bill Corum was the playing of that line. Concannon, Schneider, Murphy, Greenblatt, and Hugret did themselves Justice. 173
