Since the inception of these autumn meetings In 1920, St. Louis has never been able to beat the Titans. On only three occasions have the Westerners been able to cross the Titan goal line, and it was this inferiority complex, coupled with the general all-round strength of the Dorals forces, that brought about the Billikens' downfall yesterday. Columbus, Nov. 3.

Bill Roper's Princeton Tigers and Ohio State battled to a 6 to 6 tie here today, in one of the greatest intersections! gridiron struggles in history. The game was a thrill from start to finish, and drove the 75.000 homecoming spectators In the huge gray horseshoe Into a frenzy. Roper's famous strategy cropped out in the first quarter, when the Tigris unleashed an attack that rolled over the Buckeyes like a juggernaut. But the embattled Buckeyes turned the tide with a desperate, but magnificent, courage. Both teams, by virtue of their tie, remain unbeaten, and since Illinois was defeated today by Michigan, Iowa and Ohio State stand to battle for the Big Ten championship.

Ohio's vaunted line, described by experts as one of the best In the country, was no match for the quick forming Interference and smashing attack of the Tiger.

The Tigers' touchdown In the third quarter was the first time Ohio has been scored on this year. Wlttmer barely placed the ball over after a six-yard line smash.

Pennsylvania snatched a sensational 20 to 13 victory from Chicago after the downtrodden Maroons, walloped In four of their live major starts, had tied the score at 13-13 30 seconds previously. Thlrty-flva thousand witnessed the combat.

Captain Paul Scull, brilliant leader of the Quakers, achieved victory for his team when he grabbed a 59-yard pass from Shober, the Penn quarterback. He caught the ball on Chicago's 18-yard line and there was no Maroon player to hinder his flight toward Chicago's goal line. The score came with dramatic suddenness just after the Maroon followers had gone delirious with joy over the prospect of a tie game. On the first play after Pennsylvania had received the klckoff. Shober heaved the winning pass with coolness and deliberation, while the Maroons, helpless and flat-footed, stood there looking at him.

By that time Scull had outdistanced the last Maroon defensive player and his path to a touchdown was clear. Mendenhall Stars.
