' 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

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.-0 Fordham-7 How tragic! A fumble and Au Revoir to our clean slate. At worst the game should have been a scoreless tie but, as goes the old alibi, the breaks were against us. Both teams showed wonderful line work and neither backfield seemed able to pierce the sturdy defense of their opponents. In spite of this, the field generals in- sisted on making it a rather dull game by consistently hammering the forward walls. Chalmers and Grenblatt joined the casulty list, and jim Murphy was carried off the field unconscious. Probably this was to avenge the injustice he had done in scoring a touchdown after Elcewicz had recovered Tanguay's fumble on the N. Y. U. 4-yard line. The only feature to this hard game was the fact that some 78,000 customers stood in the same number of seats. This game had no individual stars. 174
