...Quarterback Bobby Layne moved back, took aim and fired his long, string-straight passes. Better than half the time, the ball and a big Lion end got to the same place at precisely the same time. When Baltimore defensemen dropped back in desperation, Layne handed off to his jolting halfback "Hunchy" Hoernschemeyer or rifled short shots to Doak Walker, his slippery high-school ex-teammate from Dallas. Of 28 Layne passes, 18 connected for 246 yds. At half time, the Lions led, 10-3. By the time the chilly autumn evening was over, the Lions were on the long...
...backfield leads the league in almost every offensive department. Halfback Archie Williams is the top ground gainer and halfback Pete Kohut is leading the league in total yardage. Ev Pearson has scored a total of 44 points in seven games to top the league. This offense looms formidable against the Crimson defense--the best in the league--but weakened by the questionable status of guard Bill Meigs, who broke his nose against Princeton last week...
...Thompson, the fleet sophomore halfback from last year's team, has been sidelined for most of this season with various injuries, and it is doubtful now if he could even break into the starting lineup.

Captain Carey McIntosh, Stacey Holmes, and Denny Little will open at halfback, while John Hadik and Hugh Sargent will be the starting fullbacks. Lindsay Fischer will be in the nets...

In the middle sequence, sophomore fullback TONY GIANELLY halts a Princeton scoring threat as he knocks one of Tiger left halfback Sammy Pinch's passes out of the hands of its intended receiver. In the third picture, BOB COWLES, senior right halfback, races away from three members of the Princeton secondary, as he dashes for the game-winning touchdown on a deep reverse down the sideline...
