P2TGE FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1933. Notre Dame Defeats Army, 13 12, in Season's Biggest Upset VICTORY GAINED ON BLOCKED PUNT AND FINAL RALLY Irish Take Advantage of Freak Army Strategy and Overcome Lead in Daz ; zling Gridiron Contest By ALAN could. (Associated Press Sport Editor) NEW YORK, DJ. 2.AF) Turn ing an apparent rout Into an astound ing victory, Notre Dame'si hitherto ' battered and baffled green shlrta pulled themaelvee back from the depth of a dlaastroua campaign to day to overcome Army' two-touchdown lead In a 'dazzling fourth pe riod rally and amaah the winning atreak of the cadets In the biggest upset of the 1933 college football wa gon. The final score was 18 to 12 as the fighting Irish, In the space of leas than five minutes, wiped out West Point's big lead and pulled the game out of the fire with a comeback that was as swift as It was startling to a near-capacity crowd of 76,000. The breaks were a long time coming to the underdogs from South Bend, harassed and outplayed for three pe riods by an unbeaten soldier team, but when they came they exploded with bombshell effect In one of the wildest gridiron llnlehea New York has ever witnessed. It was a marvelous triumph for a team that had tasted little previously this season except football bitter ness, especially as it came In the last period ot the last game against tneir most cherished rival, nut it. was nattering climax for an army team that had whipped everything else all season and which looked to be headed toward West Point's first clean slate ' in 17 years. The blow was. hardly softened by the fact that Army's tactics, In de fense of Its ia-polnt lead appeared questionable and that a substitute for all-America Jack Buckler, Mau rice Simons, was the victim of the play that decided the game. Buckler wae on the sidelines, preparatory to being rushed back Into the game, when Simons' attempted punt from behind the cadet goal-line was block ed by a wall of green from the left aide of the Notre Dame line and re eovered for the second touchdown by Wayne Mlllner, Salem, Mass. A Sub Is Crashed. Mlllner, followed by big Ed Krsuse, tar tackle, swarmed over the substi tute Army halfback as he dropped the ball to. his toe. It looked like questionable strategy by the cadets, who might have pulled themselves out of the hole with an Intentional safety, but they elected to take the chance and suffered Its dlsaatrous effects. When the pile waa untsn gled Just over the goal line, Mlllner was found to have the ball firmly In hi grasp for the six points that put Notre Dame In front and clinched the ball game. This was the climax of a comeback that was wildly thrilling and almost berserk In Its Intensity, as the Irish fought for a victory that goes a long way toward making thorn forget their previous string or reverses, but loom' lng In the background wae the drop, kick for extra point, made by Rey man Bonar, quarterback from Bel. lelre, Ohio, after Nick lAikata ot Perth Amboy, N. J., had lugged the ball over Army's goal Una for Notre Dame a first touchdown. The Point That Counted. Bonar, who emerged heiolcally In the triumph and whose "fight-talk" seemed to Inspire his teammates In the last period, took extra time In preparing for the kick that proved so all-Important In the final reckoning. Succeeding, where Army's Jack Buck ler twice had failed to convert, Bo nar aent the crowd Into the wildest kind of an outburst and lit the spark to the concluding explosion. The Cadeta were hevliur some trou ble holding their opponents' runilng attack, but they were playing smarter football, taking advantage of the breaks and seemingly so confident, once they got Into the lead, that Beany Johnson deigned completely the risk of returning any of the long punts booted by Lukate, Banas or other Irish kickers. Aa It turned out, this doubtful strategy helped put Army finally Into a hole that It tailed to escape from, as Luksts' punt In the fourth period rolled deed on Army's and put Simons on the spot aa his goal-line punt waa smothered. After this debacle, Buckler and other Army regulars were rushed back Into the game, but It was too late then to stop the wild charge of the Notre Dame forces who we not to be denied their long-sought conquest once they gained the upper hsnd. The Cadets never were able to get within scoring range again and the final whistle blew with the Irish on Army 18, aa Itobln. subatltute back.

(By the Associated Press) Army and Duke toppled from the football helghta yesterday, but Princeton's rampant Tigers surged through the defenses of Yale to wind up the campaign aa the nation's only major undefeated and untied eleven. While the Tigers were routing Yale much aa had been expected, 27-3, Army's flashing Cadeta went down to' stunning defeat before Notre Dame'e spectacular fourth period ral ly, 13-13, and Duke, another outfit previously unbeaten and untied, aur- rendered to Oeorgla Tech, 6-0. Dune, hoping for perfect season and a possible Rose Bowl Invitation, found Georgia Tech 'a battling Engl neera more than a handful and bow ed by the margin of the touchdown the Atlantans scored on a 66-yard drive In the second period.

(flV Prlnceton and Yale drew the cheers snd applause today aa their football stalwarta battled In the Yale bowl. but their "big three" rival Harvard nearly stole the show. While the Tigers were busy batter ing out a 37 to 0 victory over the Ells. an autoglro soared high over the bowl with a huge crimson banner trailing behind. It read: "Send your eon to Harvard." There were some who said the brains behind the unscheduled act waa the Harvard Lampoon, Crimson humorous publication. NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Dee, 3. () Glory such as the Tigers of Prince ton haven t known in ten long years, revenge sweeter than anything old Nassau ever has known, rode to day through the huge Yale bowl on the bocks of a mighty band of sopho. mores as the Tigers whipped the Bulldogs 37 to 3. With perfect precision and stunning power the youngsters who picked up Princeton's hapless cause two years ago with tneir new head coach, Her bert Orrln, "Fritz" chrisler. smashed down Yale's battered eleven, plied up more points than any Princeton team ever before has scored on the Ells and completed the 1933 season unbeaten and untied. Thus they wiped away the memory of the most humlliatinx defeat of the classic slxty-yesr old se ries, the SI to 14 slaughter Yale in flicted two years ago. Not since 1023 when huge Stan Keck and his mates were on the loose, has Princeton raged through a eeason without defeat or tie. Not since 193R, when Princeton won 13 to 3 had the Tigers conquered Yale. And only In 1B25, when they counted 33 points to the Ells 13, In 1934 when they won so to 0 and In 1B96, when the score was 24 to 6, have the men of Nassau gone on euch a scoring spree scant but hilarious crowd of forty thousand little more than half till' lng the great cement bowl saw to day. With Army defeated by Notre Dame In New York, the final conquest of the season left Princeton alone among the ast's undefeated and untied elev ens. Only Rutgers, of an enemy list that Included Brown, Navy, Columbia, and Dartmouth, was able to score a touchdown against the Tigers. An au tomatic safety scored when John Kll- cullen, fine Yale tackle, blocked punt and chased It beyond the end zone In the first period today, ran the total points against the Tigers this year to eight. 4 INVITES TO JOB ORANGE, Texas, Dee. 3 (AP) H J.
