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

' 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

U.-20 Carnegie-7 p Filled with fuming fury by Fordham's feat, the vehement, vengeful Violets vigor- ously and violently on a rip-roaring, raging rampage, ran the touted Titan team ragged. What a victory! The Super-Sophs showed the stuff they were made of by smash- ing through the powerful Carnegie team to a cleancut decisive win. Once again Tanguay was missing from the line-up. But-this was Bob McNamara's day. Inspired to the nth degree Robert cut, slashed, twisted, and smashed his way through the big Plaid team. The rest of the backfield seemed to have been bitten by the same contagious pep bug which had got Bob. joe La Mark played an exceptional game at Quarterback. To add to his achievement, he also scored two touchdowns. The Violets tallied in the first, second, and fourth periods, while Steffens' squad made the grade only in the second quarter. Nemecek and Herman La Mark also gave very good account of themselves and that same line that held Missouri and Fordham still seemed almost puncture-proof. 175
