Wild Kentucky Beats V.M.I.

NEW HAVEN, Nov. 12 (Associated Press).

Tale's brilliant youthful eleven defeated Princeton's veterans 13 to 7 today befort 75,000 spectators, including Marshal Foch, who demonstrated his im. partiality by sitting first on the Yale side and then among the Princeton rooters. The first Yalo victory in this annual football classic since 191s wat due to a touchdown by O'Hearn on an eighteen-yard end run in the first period coupled with a twenty-four-yard drop kick by Captain Aldrich in the third period and another drop fifteen yards in length kicked by th same player during" the last quarter. Princeton made a touchdown in tin second period in ten plays, including four forward passes, tho series ci abling the Tigers to march fifty -eight yards to a touchdown, tho last play being a buck of one-yard across tho goal line by Garrity. Yale's advaac to the last white line was sixty-eight yards long and was made in eight plays, largely from tho triple threat kick formation with Aldrich and O'Hearn back.

Aldrich made ono end run ot eighteen yards and another of twelve during this burst of offenso without recourse to the forward pass. An inexperienced Yale eleven, Foward Pass for Second Tally. By HERNDON EVANS. TIB old man who handles the dope bucket walked away from his charge vesterday afternoon just loner enough to allow the Wildcats ot the University of Kentucky to kick it over and romp away from the Virginia Military Institute cadets with the best-sounding portion of a 14 to 7 score. Not satisfied with having kicked tho said bucket over, the Wildcats proceeded to kick the darn thing all over tho lot and incidentally to get revenge for a 3 to 2 defeat handed tho Kentucky eleven by the Soldiers nine years ago.

The Soldiers tried every comoina tion they had but all were powerless to stop the Wildcats. A break of luck, the first that has been given tho Kentuck'ians this year, accounted for the first touchdown. Tho Ken-tuckians earned every foot of ground they gained after that and it was not long before they had the famous "Flying Squadron" headed into a tail spin and wondering just where it would light. The Cadets used many substitutes in an effort to stop the Wildcats but tho Kentuckians fathomed every combination.

12. A violent shakeup of the Pirates is planned and when next season rolls around familiar faces will be missing. The debacle of 1921 is the cause. After leading tile National League race tiie greater part of tho season, the team faltered in the stretch and the Giants romped home winners. Five of the regulars of the 1921 team either will be traded or re-leased.

They arc Schmidt, Tier, ney, Whitted, Barnhart and Zinn. George Cutshaw also will be missing. He can return if he wishes, but plans to remain on the coast next season. The Pirate management is angling for Stock, the Cardinal third baseman, and is willing to give up some star players as well as some pitchers, and cash if necessary. Claim C.

Pribble was missing from his usual position at fullback and Saunders was shifted to that berth. Coach Juneau worked out a new combination in the backfleld and in the line and the success of this machine was shown by tho final score. The Soldiers started an offensive in the final quarter that swept the Wildcats aside for a while but when the Kentuckians got their footing again they held the Virginians. In the last three minutes of play the Soldiers began their final offensive and could not bo stopped until the goal had been crossed. The punch was lacking in the earlier periods and the JPiWcats frequently held them for gains.

On the short passes the ball was Drought into dangerous territory and on a fourth attempt the placed the oval on "Kentucky's four-yard line. One attempt brought the one yard and it looked like the Kentuckians were going to keep the Cadets out. The next drive, however, carried the ball far over and the Sol- diera reserved the right to say that they had crossed the goal line of every opponent. Kentucky Forces Pace. Kentucky assumed the offensive early in the encounter and kept the Soldiers fighting every minute of play, i Those who had been expecting the I Wildcats to play a defensive game were agreeably surprised when the Juneau warriors began driving toward the Virginia goal.

'We Says Auburn Coach. BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 12 (Associated Press). "There is no doubt that we were outclassed," said Coach Mike ponahue of Auburn after Centre defeated his eleven today 21 to 0.

"Centre had the advantage of speed, experience and weight in certain portions of the line. We have no excuse to offer. The better eleven won." "It was a fine exhibition of football championship," said Head-Linesman Joe TBomas. of Purdue. "Roberts is a great player McMillin is the smartest quarterback I have even seen." Before the game started the Centre team gave a short prayer for Steele Andrews a Ceil tre alumnus through whose influence today's game was arranged.

Andrews, a representative business man of Birmingham, died several months after the game was booked. Princeton forward passes, but outrush. ing its opponents in scrimmage playi and constantly threatening to soon through this superiority and through brilliant runs back of punts by O'Hearn. found itself in the last halt of the game and diagnosed the Princeton forward pass attack, which wm largely from a deployed formation. Yale defensive power toward the end of the game broke up a forward pan attack that threatened to win tin game for the Tigers in the sensational stylo which featured the Tigers' victory over Harvard last Saturday.

Great Play Fails. Princeton followers had ono big "if after tho game. For a few second! as darkness was settling over the immense Yale bowl it looked as if Gilroy, Princeton back, who won the gamt against Harvard by a sixty-five-yard run of a forward pass, would repeat against Yale as Sam White did in 3011. But a smashing tackle by Sturm, Yalo right end, and activity by Mallery. Yalo' right half, prevented it.

With Princeton having the ball on its own 20-yard lino late in the last period, the line deployed. It was ob. viously for a forward pass, but jiat which would be used of the many varieties Princeton had from the formation was a qnestion. Snively was back in the kicker's position. He got tin ball from center, ten yards back ot the scrimmage line, and waited until the Yale line was about on top of him before he hurled the sphere just over the left of center down the side linet On Yale's 40-yard line, forty yardi from where the ball was put in play and fifty yards from where Snively ihrew it, Gilroy caught it.

Special to The B' IKMINGHA3I, Nov. 12. which marked their work against Harvard plus a resistance even better than that which kept the Cambridge team from their goal line, the Centre College Colonels defeated the powerful Alabama Polytechnic eleven at Rickwood Field, 21 to 0 here this afternoon. Centre's three touchdowns do not entirely show the margin by which "Bo" McMillin and company outclassed the team from Auburn.

When time was called at the close of the second and four periods the ball was deep in Auburn's territory each time and scores were imminent. Auburn never got nearer to a touchdown than the thirty-yard line, where Centre repulsed the Plainsmen so promptly that they had to give up the ball. Defensively Centre outplayed Auburn even more decisively than she did offensively. The Alabama team scored one first down in the first half to Centre's eleven, having possession of the ball only twice. Auburn had the ball oftener in the two closing periods, but again was able to gain ten yards in fourscrimmages but once.

1 There were three breaks to the eral times as the V. M. I. outlit drove them down into dangerous territory. Twice Venabie, the big Cadet fullback, attempted to place-kick but each attempt went wide of the mark.

The end of the quarter found tho ball on the Kentucky forty-yard line after Ryder had made a sensational run of twenty-two yards. The second quarter found the Kentuckians lighting hard. Faulkner drove his team to the 50-yard line and started on a rampage down toward the Kentucky goal when he was tackled by King and Saunders. Faulkner fumbled the ball and Ferguson (Continued on Page 4, Column 3.) With ever? GOOD NEWS FROM THE BOYS' STORE Showing the same power in attack strated the power of Centre's forward wall. Kubale and his two guards out-charged Auburn's forwards repeatedly and it was not until, late in the game that Auburn's got many tackles.

Every Boy Wants and Really Needs a Mackinaw game, but only one was turned into a. ocore. All of the breaks were in Centre's favor, but even with them eliminated, Auburn could hardly have had any hope of winning. The first break came when Shirling, making the best Auburn gain of the day, 'swung "over left tackle for fifteen yards but as McMillin tackled him he dropped the ball.

Armstrong recovered it, ran it back into Auburn's territory and put Centre in striking distance for its second touchdown. Roberts Recovers Ball. The next break came in the third period when McMillln's punt was blocked, but Roberts was alert enough to recover the ball. The third break came later in the game when Kubale passed wildly to Lemon for an end run. The ball struck Referee Bradley Walker who wrongfully called it no play and gave it back to Centre at the spot whero it was put in play.

He should have permitted the play to stand as it was, as Lemon recovered the ball ten yards behind the scrimmage line. The difference on so-called "breaks," however, was illustrated by Centre's only fumble of the afternoon. When Shirling of Auburn dropped the ball an alert Centre back recovered. When Tanner muffed the pigskin in hitting the line McMillin dived down and rescued it before a pile ot eager Auburn arms could encircle it. As usual the "breaks" go with the better team, which is forcing them.

Both elevens displa3-ed a high quality ot sportsmanship in the game. There was no parlor tackling, runners being cut down hard and viciously but the spirit of the game was clean and the two teams battled with the best of spirit.
