EDGAR. UPWARD and onward to a place in that select circle of undefeated football teams was the Journey the University of Detroit eleven completed on the sodden turf of Dlnan field yesterday afternoon. While more than 30,000 people, the largest crowd ever packed Into ''4 the stadium on the Six-mile road, looked on, the Titans, outplayed in 4 the first half, came back to realize their dream of an unblemished rec- ord by crushing Georgcown, 33 to 13. It was a dream that had its Incep-tion when the squad reported at Camp Ozanam early In September, and 1 it grew in anticipation as the season wore by with victories over Loy-? ola Fordham, Tulsa and Michigan State. Like leaves in autumn the Titan's' hopes grew brighter with every game until yesterday afternoon, when the strongest aggregation that ever stalked the path of the Titans was turned back by a team that would not be beaten.

It was the final game of the moat successful season enjoyed by the Titans under the regime of Coach Dorals, and it ended in a blaze of glory as ardent supporters of the Titans lifted Uoyd Brazil and Tom Connell to their shoulders and carried them off the field in a wild demonstration that was a tribute to a team that had reached its objec Itiisti sii lAfM'tif ruin i.MiniBti ii immi inn hi nil iiti'ft 'W irtt i iiwftlinliir ftii nirriii 'mini Tin imrilril miwsr ii It nX The Same Brazil Spoils Enemy Pass OLYMPICS LOSE TO KITCHENER! ff m. Westerners Overwhelm Cadets in Attack That Surprises 86,000 Eastern Fans. CAGLE IS ONLY THREAT Soldiers' Star Unable, How ever, to Check Invaders by Spectacular Play. BY AIN T. GOULD.

New York, Dec. 1 (A. Smashing West Point's defenses to bits with a rlp-roaflng. bewildering attack that kept up Its momentum from start to finish, Stanford put the Army football team to rout today and won the most spectacular Intersectional battle of the year by the lop-sided score of 26 to 0. While a capacity crowd of 86.000 looked on In astonishment, the last hope and pride of the eastern grid-Iron was smothered, completely outplayed, outgeneralled and soundly trounced by what turned out to be a Cardinal cyclone, sweeping all before it.

Led by their stalwart fullback and captain, Iliff Hoffman, the robust gridiron pupils of Pop Warner staged a surprise attack at the start, put the Army on the defensive and then proceeded to administer one crushing blow after another as Red Cagle, the soldier' ace. fought gallantly but unsuccessfully in a losing cause. Cagle Is Eclipsed. Cagle gave the Army its few thrills and at times broke, like lightning, through the clourla ot West Point disaster, but the Louisiana Flash was unable to offset the smashing, battering Stanford attack, which four times crossed the West Point goal and threatened to score a half dozen times more. It was the rase of a great tears against a gallant band led by tha east's outstanding ball -r, and there was no question of result from start to finish.

Behind forward wall that tremendous power, in ls center trio, Stanford's fleet array of hacas, led by Hoffman, Lu4 Frentrup and Bob Sims, ran the Army ragged. Hoffman, a triple threat star whose performances eclipsed those of Cagle, got the Cardinal thru.wt off to a flying start, helped fight off the Army's second period counter attack, then returned In the final half to share the blaze of closing glory with Sims and Frentrup, who scored the fourth touchdown on a 64-yard dash that was the most sensational play of the game. Army Outplayed Throughout. Stanford's impressive triumph was not so surprising as its clear cut margin of superiority In every department of play. Coming on top of Oregon State's one-sided defeat of New York university on the same field two days ago, the Cardinal victory adds to the most disastrous rout eastern forces ever have experienced at th" hmds of far western foes.

Little like cross-country trips and Vi oosi- tion of two of the teams apparently had no tjrrors for these bewildering invader. Stanford, beaten out in the race for Pacific coast honors, looked like as powerful and effective a football machine as any In the country today. The Cardinals had everything a great line with superstars forming the keystone ia Heincka at center and RobesUv and Post, then Drlscoll and Robeaky as the supporting guards; and a deceptive attack that alternately featured Hoffman, Sims and Frentrup. as well as Wilton and Lewis, all fast and shifty. This attack constantly waa punching holes through the army defense big enough for a truck.

The backs were continually out "in the clear" in a succession of long gains. The Army's counter ria were gallant and effective e.iT.:ghi to stop Stanford's drives on occasions, with the ball an- re from West Point's one-yard 'li-? ta the 20-yard line, but this stur defense couldn't stop them all. reinforcements were rushed into the soldier line by the dozen, but te little avail. Stanford Out rushes Cadets. Stanford outrushed the Army by the one-sided margin of 372 yards to 113, totaling 26 first dov.ns to only eight for the Cadets Cardinal aerial attack, engiuc by Hoffman, added 124 ya.iis, while the tosses of Cagle and Hutchinson netted 102.

The game was less than thiee minutes old when Stanford launched ita first drive into aimy territory, sweeping 66 yards on a combination of passes and short dashes by Wilton, Sims ami "XT-man, before it was checked on the one-yard line. West Point mi -ht have escaped trouble had l'a punting been more effective, but poor kicks gave the Cardinals two more chances, the last of which Continued oa Page IS.

Xi4(-a. 1 lam (Churns ibj 4 TROJANS OUTPLAY ROCKNE'S ELEVEN Detroit Hockey Team's Winning Streak Broken by 2-1 Defeat. Miller Scores Deciding Point in Last Two Minutes of Rough Game. A goal In the last two minutes of play sent the Detroit Olympics down to defeat for the first time this season when the Kitchener hockey team triumphed by the score of 2 to 1 in a Canadian league game played at Olympla last night. It was the first time the two teams had met this season and ended a six game winning streak, which was started by Detroit in the opening game and increased in contests with every other team in the league since that time.

First Blood for Olympics. Miller score dthe deciding goal with only one minute and 55 seconds remaining of the final period. McFariane started the downfall of the Olympics when he dashed away with the puck after a mixup near his own goal. Darting down the ice with the rubber before him, the Kitchener defense man succeeded in getting past the cordon around the Olympics' goal and continued his drive until he was almost in front of the net. Then he made a swift pass to Miller who knocked the puck into the cords before Stuart could block It.

First blod was drawn by the Olympics when the initial period was less than two minutes old. Both sides started with a rush and for a time the puck was carried up and down the ice with neither side being able to get within scoiing distance of the goal. Then Brophy got hold of the puck and dashed down the Ice pushing It before him. He passed to Bellefeullle Just In front of the net and the Olympic wing arove it against me cords. Kitchener Evens Score.

Kitchener came right back in the same period and evened the score when Brown took a pass from Miller and beat Stuart. Olympic goalie, with a rifle-like shot. From then untl the third period there was no scoring despite some the determined efforts of both sides. The game throughout was marked bv rough play and fierce body checking and all during the three periods there was a constant parade of players to and from the penalty box. oi.TMPIrs.

To Tom Connell, who was playing his final game for the Titans, went the scoring honors. He crossed the Easterners' goal line three times and added three extra points with the resultant kicks.

It was a fitting finale for him, for he reached the peak of his career on the very first play of the game, running back the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. As he was lifted to the shoulders of his admirers and carried from the field at the final whistle, the Titan captain took rank as one of the leadiUM point scorers in the country. He boasted 105 points when the game started and the 21 points he contributed to the downfall of Georgetown placed him in second place in the national ranking. It is true that his 96-yard run Rave his mates only a temporary lead, for the Easterners came back before the first period ended to core twice while the Titans appeared struck with stagefright. But once the second half got under way, the Titans came to realize that their fondest hopes still were short of being realized, and they became a band of determined gridiron stalwarts who turned back every challenge and swept onward to a justly earned victory in as spectacular a series of advances as ever Was unfolded.

The break in the game came at the start of the third period, when Iester Vachon replaced Eddie Barbour at quarterback. With his shoulder still strapped from an injury received in the Fordham game two weeks ago, Vachon directed the Titan's attack, and Georgetown was Bisde to pay the penalty. Titans Came to Life. With him In the signal calling position the Titans snapped out of the lethargy that had marked their play In the first half and carried the struggle to their vaunted seaboard opponents until the shrill hrlek of the referee's whistle called a halt to the slaughter that was taking place before the eyes of a gathering that had settled down to watch the defeat of the Dorals machine after the first period happenings. What thev saw was a feast for the eyes, as the Titans, gaining power and confidence with every play, first crushed the easterners and then trampled over them to reach the temple of gridiron fame reserved only for unbeaten teams.

While Connell, Maloney and Goodnow contributed all the points, it was Brazil, the most outstanding back ever developed at the Titan seat of training, who made the victory possible. This flaxen-haired youth was all over the field, wreaking havoc with the team that expected to end Detroit's long string of victories. It was Brazil who engineered the overhead attack, and so uncanny were his efforts that not a pass was Intercepted throughout the afternoon. Though he was balked at times on attempts to carry the ball, he more than balanced this by clearing the path for his mates to rip through for long gains. His passes produced one touchdown and were directly responsible for two others, while his defensive tactics time after time thwarted the Georgetown attempts to turn the trend of battle.

Brazil t.lten Credit. Rightfully he took his place as leading hero of a victory that made of his tram an aggregation to demand the respect of a nation that takes Its football seriously. With Brazil throwing passes and Wearing the path for the runners, Geoigetown was almost helpless to keep him from doing any damage. With one exception, Connell return of the opening kickoff for a touchdown. It was Brazil who was Continued on Page IS.

Michigan's fighting spirit, the weapon that gave the Wolverines of 1928 victories over Illinois and Iowa after early season reverses, received unstinted praise at the annual banquet of the Detroit 'varsity alumni for the team and coaches at the Statler hotel last night. The dinner was served in the hotel ballroom and over 600 were present, including the Michigan band, assistant coaches, trainers and administrators and a group of former Wolverine stars who were seated at an "ail-American" table. Edwin F. Coveney, chairman of the alumni committee in charge, of the Michigan Bust, as the annual banquet at the close of the football season Is called, introduced Armln Rickel, president of the University of Michigan club of Detroit. Rickel sounded the keynote of the occasion when he referred to this year's Michigan team as "the greatest fightign squad In Michigan's history." "Setups Gone," Says Tost.

Frank B. Eaman, of the law class at Michigan, 1900, was toastmaster and introduced the other speakers. Fielding H. Yost, for 28 years the major domo of football at Ann Arbor, told the banqueters that the days of "setup" games in the Big Ten conference are gone forever. "There was a time," said "Hurry-Up," "when we called certain schools in the conference 'ripe cher-les' but that condition no longer exists.

These ripe cherries are now turning out to be rattlesnakes and there is no such thlrfg as the 'easy game' nowadays." Yost reviewed the 1929 schedule, which includes Harvard at Ann Arbor on November 9, and the 1930 card, which is as prolonged and difficult as next year's. "However." he said, "Michigan will always be there. The squad proved It this year and I hope that on the night of November 9, next year. Captain Truskowskl will have 11 red Jerseys dangling at his belt." Yost paid high tribute to the courage and fight of the Michigan team that whipped the Big Ten champions, the Illini, this year.

(A. P.i Joe Mc-Kenney, the youngest college football coach in the business, ended his first season undefeated and untied here today when his Boston college eleven crushed Holy Cros, Its ancient Jesuit rival, 19 to 0, because he had taught his Eagles how to handle forward passes correctly Clco O'Donnell's purple clad players lott because their secondary defense men permitted the opposing halfbacks to beat them in the race down the field on aerials. Al Weston, the Boston triple threat, was on the throwing end of two perfectly executed long tosses which Paddy Creedon and Murpny caught for touchdowns in unprotected areas. The third Eagles' score resulted from a 35-yard run by Mlrley. Starts With Kicking Duel.

These old-time rivals, when they clashed today for the twenty-sixth time, were so evenly matched during the opening period that a kicking duel resulted, with Clancy, the Purple fullback, putting Dixon, Weston and Creedon, the Boston kickers, to shame. The Purple line held as firmly as the Boston forwards but MrKenney'a backs refused to muff anything. During the second period, Weston launched McKenney's passing attack, most of which started on reverse plays. After Boston had been penalized for holding Weston dropped back to midfield and tossed a 50-ya rd pass to Creedon, who caught the ball after beating Clancy, the Purple fullback, down the field to hla goal Una by two Steps. Late In the period Weston completed enough short passes to advance his team from midfield to the Purple's 20-yard line.

1. (A. Emile Pladner, of France, gave Izzy Schwartz, of New Tork, recognized there as the flyweight champion, a thorough beating tonight in a 12-round bout advertised here as a world title affair. Pladner easily gained the decision after winning eight of the rounds, with two even. Pladner seemed to have a rather healthy respect for Schwartz' reputation In the first two rounds, boxing timidly.

After he had got through those two rounds and found he could more than hold his own, the "Spider" went after Schwartz like a tiger in the third and retained the upper hand throughout the remainder of the bout, except for the eighth and ninth rounds, when the New Yorker held him even. Schwartz waa groggy and staggering in the tenth round. Again In the eleventh, he was forced to hang on, while 20.600 spectators, the largest crowd that ever witnessed indoor boxing in France, clamored for a native son to "finish the American." Pladner weighed five ounces over the flyweight limit of 112 pounds. Schwartz weighed 110. Philadelphia, Dec.

Southern California defeated Notre Dame 27 to 14, before 80,000 persons here today. The victory permitted the Trojans to record an undefeated season, and, in a fashion, made up for the one-point wins the Irish scored in 1926 and again in 1927. Southern California's uncanny-success In the air and the absence of the usual Notre Dame scoring punch told the story of the game. The Trojans registered 10 first downs, while the Irish made the necessary 10 yards only four times. That just about made up Southern California's margin of superiority.

Cariedo la Irish (Star. Cariedo, a stocky quarterback, and Moon Mullins. who makes his home In Southern California, furnished about all the offensive fire South Bend had to offer. Cariedo scored Notre Dame's first touchdown when he traveled through the heart of the California team 49 yards to the goal line. later his 53-yard return of punt placed his team in position to make its second score.

Chevigney failed to live up to the press notices of his running ability, but played a great defensive game. Most of the tackles credited to the Notre Dame secondary defense were made by him. Captain Miller and Vezie stood out above their Notre Dame teammates in the line Williams, recognized as one of the coast's best backs, and Saunders carried Southern California's offensive, but the ends. McCaslln Tappaan had much to do with the scores, captain Jess hiods starred defensively and his punting drove Notre Dame back consistently. Game fieta Rough.

The game gnt a little rough toward the rinse and seven men left the Meld on almost that number of play. Included in the lift were Hilib and Williams, both playing I their last game for Southern Cali-) fornia, and Captain Miller, concludes his football career for Ute Irish. Williams went off the field on a stretcher. Earlier in the game Tim Neimson was carried off with a broken arm. Knute Rorkne's team looked almost helptess during the first half.

They made but one down, while Southern California was making first down six times to score 13 points. The second half was more evenly contested. Notrs Dame turning in 14 points and three first downs, while Southern California used four firsts for the same number of points. Steponovtch, playing running guard in the place of the injured Charley Boren. contributed the most unusual play of the game.

When he broke through to stop Neimlc's attack, on bis li-yard line, the ball went bark over Nlrmlc's head, permitting Bteponovlch to catch It on the lo-yard line and run, unopposed, to the goal. Irish Passing Falls. Notre Dame's passing attack fizzled out and they were able to complete only two out of nine for a total of 21 yards. Against that.
