With five minutes left to play and the score 6-to-6, the biggest crowd of the year (80,000) saw Notre Dame's Andy Pilney drop back for a pass from his own 38-yd. line. The ball sailed across the line of scrimmage in a high arc, landed in the arms of Notre Dame's Dan Hanley who was dragged down by two tacklers on Army's 25-yd. line. Two line plays followed and then Pilney dropped back to pass again. This time, Hanley caught the ball just beyond the line of scrimmage, cut to the left, zigzagged 10 yd. to the goalline.

For Hanley, an oldster of Knute Rockne's last team who had been kept out of college by illness in 1931 and 1932, and for a Notre Dame team that has shown flashes of greatness, that play was a satisfactory climax for the season. Earlier in the game, mainly a battle between two titanic lines, a long Notre Dame pass and a short Army pass had given each team a touchdown. Two minutes later the gun made the final score Notre Dame 12, Army 6.

The Yale bandleader dropped his baton. The Harvard bass drum tipped over at a crucial moment. Incongruous in the smart Bowl crowd were two members of a traveling circus, a giant and a midget in a tall silk hat. In the interval after the third period, a spectator ran the length of the field, threw his hat over the Harvard goal posts, snickered at the crowd.

Embellished by such antics, the 53rd Yale-Harvard game went off as expected. Two touchdowns by Yale in the first half spoiled Harvard's chance of winning, but made all the more dramatic two long Harvard marches which stopped inside Yale's 5-yd. line. Yale 14, Harvard 0.

Clinching its first undisputed Big Ten title in 23 years, Minnesota's juggernaut took no chances with Wisconsin. While Indiana was spoiling Purdue's chance to tie, 17-to-6, at Lafayette, Lund, Levoir, Smith and Roark piled up five touchdowns, 34-to-0.

Favored at 4-to-1 to win the Pacific Coast's big game, Stanford was held scoreless through the first half, got its chance in the third quarter when End Keith Topping fell on the ball after a blocked punt at California's 24-yd. line. Stanford's Captain Robert Hamilton took the ball across. A field goal from the 15-yd. line early in the last quarter gave Stanford the points it needed to squeak through 9-to-7, when California staged a last-minute drive to a touchdown.

Beaten three times, Texas Christian redeemed itself by giving the Rice Owls their first defeat of the season, 7-to-2.

Anxious to show what it could do to a Dartmouth team that Yale had nosed out by only five points, Princeton rolled up five touchdowns in the first half, one in the second while Dartmouth got two, 38-to-13.

Colgate's pea-&-shell game baffled Rutgers 14-to-0.

Son of a German blacksmith, Chicago's "Flying Dutchman" Jay Berwanger, who wears a white mask to protect a nose broken in his freshman year, found Illinois backs alert against passes, Illinois linemen on guard against power plays. Galbreath's touchdown in the first period won for Illinois, 6-to-0.

Said Glenn ("Pop") Warner, onetime Stanford Coach who began coaching at Temple last year: "I know of no team in the East or South that will have a clearer right to make the trip [to Pasadena] and I hope if we go to the Rose Bowl, we meet Stanford." Unbeaten Temple, with a giant sophomore back named Dave Smukler who passed, kicked and ran like an All-American, gave point to his boast, 22-to-0, against Villanova.

Ohio State completed nine passes, intercepted two of Iowa's, rolled up a score of 40-to-7.

Lehigh broke the Lafayette jinx that goes back five years in a 68-game series, 13-to-7.
