Princeton, unbeaten a year ago when the Tigers were generally recog- nizegl as Eastern titleholders, bowed to Penn's fighting Quakers, 7-0, as Lew Elverson dashed 57 yards to the only touchdown of the game. There were other surprises, such as Lehigh's 7-6 conquest of Penn State, Baylor's three-touchdown, fourth- period splurge that sank highly fa- vored Texs, 21-1, and Tennessee's feat in holding Alabama to a score- less tie but the defeat of the Panther and the Tiger were the big jolts.
