By the Associated Press. CAMBRiruiK, Oct. The South was victorious at the Stadium today. Men from Centre College of Kentucky, "praying Colonels" anil of hitfi decree, with l5o McMillin driving them on, defeated" the Harvard eleven by a score of to nothing. The representatives cf the smallest college on the Crimson schedule accomplished what no other team had been able to do in 40 years defeat Harvard in an intcr-seetional buttle.

It was five years since the Crimson had met defeat on its own or any other field. mow ctMTtn'; to jpS The victory belonged to the redoubtable "Ho" McMillin, backed by bis mates of an alert and aggressive team. A well knit defensive line held Harvard cafe. McMillin. thwarted time after time, seized his opportunity in the third period and broke through the Harvard line for at 31 -yard run and touchdown.

It was a brilliant piece of football work, calling into play all the elements of early interference, straight arm evasion, change of pace, slant-in; runi and forward dash. Kor yards McMillin raced within inches of the edge of the playing Held, but always inside, and his touchdown was unquestioned. The failure of Bartlett to complete the touchdown with a goal left the margin of victory McMillin's alone. It a his day. McMillin Hero of Victory.

Centre reversed the defeat suf-tered under McMillin's leadership at the stadium last year, with McMillin the leader again. An injury to Armstrong had forced the Centre captain of this year out of the i-Rine late in the third period, but the end of the game found "IJo'' back in the captaincy that he had relinquished so that another man mUht have a chance. With the sound of the final whistle Hefereet "Tiny" Maxwell picked up the pigskin, turned to Centre's ac ting captain and said: "McMillin here's your ball." McMillin took it with hasty thanks, danced up the Held with it. then turned back and was overtaken by fellow players who kissed his cheek, raised him on their shoulders and carried him into a massing crowd that soon numbered hundreds. Although Harvard, in the fourth period, had the ball on Centre's threshold, three yards from the goal, only to have it brought back to the 32-yard line because of an offalde play, there was no question that the Kentuckians were the better team.

Fisher Praises McMillin. "Hob" Fisher, coach of the Harvard team that won last year, and Tiger Touchdown, Early in Contest, Defeats Drake, 6-0 Lewis, After Receiving Kickoff, Punts Back and Kershaw, Recovering, 5cores. Special to the. Post-rispatch. COLUMBIA, Oct.

29. One lone, touchdown, scored in the firBt few seconds of play, slopped the Drake Bulldogs' drive for the Missouri Valley title and gave the Missouri Tigers a victory, 6 to 0, here this afternoon. The Missouri counter came when the versatile Chuck Lewis took the Bulldogs by surprise as he received Shearer's kick-off. Lewis chose to punt back instead of run back the ball, and booted to the Bulldogs' 30-yard line. Elmer Kershaw, the fleet Tiger halfback, was down under the ball like a flash, recovered it, and taced to the Bulldog goal.

It was the only score of the game. Lewis failed to kick the goal, and later in the first period failed in an attempt to kick a field goal from the 35-yard line. Played on Muddy Field. Twenty-four hours of rain which preceded the game had made the field muddy, and rain during the last period made conditions for football even worse. In spite of this, however, the game was remarkably free from fumbles, and both Lewis and Niggemeyer did beautiful work at punting.

The mud was costly to the Tigers, however. In slowing down Lewis' running of the ends, and to the Bulldogs by hampering their open formation offensive. The Tigers kept the ball almost entirely in Drake territory for the first three periods, and were several times within striking distance of the Drake goal, only to lose the ball, once throVgh a fumble on the Drake 5-yard line. Drake Uses Aerial Attack. Drake's forward passes, Niggemeyer to Boelter, enabled the Bulldogs in the final period--to -several times carry the ball deep into Tiger territory, but each time the Missouri defense found itself, and broke up the aerial efforts of the visitors before the home goal was menaced.

Drake lost her best opportunity 'to score in this period when Bunker intercepted Niggemeyer's long pass on the Missouri 10-yard line. Niggemeyer's punting and passing was almost the entire Drake strength. It was the versatile Bulldog quarterback's toe that repeatedly sent the ball down the field to safety as the Tigers invaded Drake territory. The work of Hill nnd Blumer in the Tiger line and Kershaw. Lewis, Knight and Humes in the backfield stood out strongest for Missouri.

DETROIT TEAM FORCED TO LIMIT TO DEFEAT TULANE ELEVEN, 14 TO 10 By the Associated Press, DETROIT, Oct. 23. Forced to extend itself to the limit. University of Detroit's heavy football machine won from Tulane University of New Orleans. 14 to 10, here today in a game replete with spectacular plays.

Outweighed on an average of 10 pounds to the man, the Southerners put Detroit on he defensive throughout the entire first half, assuming a three-point lead by means of a goal from the field, and repeatedly crushing scoring hopes of the locals. Tulane died lighting. Until the final whistle the. visitors put up one of the most stubborn defensive seen on a Michigan gridiron this year. The New Orleans eleven scored its field goal early in the first period.

The visitors crumpled the Detroit line and blocked a punt on the locals' 35-yard line, obtaining possession of the ball. Legendre's kick was perfect. Detroit scored a touchdown In the third period after a penalty against Tulane for rough play, and several line smashes put the ball on the visitors' one-yard line. The second Detroit touchdown came in the final quarter, when McKenna, substitute quarter back, receive! a punt. and.

(Copyright. 1921.) The above diagram illustrates an end run formation which involves a threat of a forward pass, and which is a particularly dangerous play when the attack centers around a back who is an adept at running, kicking and at forward passing, or such types of backs as Mahan.

Laurie, Oliphant or Boynton. The play should be used after a forward pass, and with Princeton Tigers Trim Virgin Southerners Do Not Advance to Within Striking Distance Until Final Quarter. By the Associated Press. PRINCETON, N. Oct.

29. Princeton stepped from the gloom of defeat into the synshine of victory this afternoon, smothering the University of Virginia under a score of 34 to 0 before a large crowd in Palmer Stadium. After suffering humiliation at the hands of the Navy and Chicago in its two previous games, the Tiger feasted heartily upon the carcass of the Southerners, completely dazzling them by a perfect attack. Virginia did not get within dangerous striking distance of the Orange and Ulack goal line until the final period, when it rushed the ball down the field to within a foot of the mark. There, however, Princeton stood like a stonewall and ob tained the ball after forcing their opponents to ground a forward pass.

The Orange and Ulack started out like a whirlwind, with Hank Gar-rity, veteran halfback, piloting the team in place of Don Iourie. Virginia was plainly unable to stop Princeton's fast aerial attack and long runs by Van Gerbig and Cleaves gave the Tigers their initial touchdown in the first 5 minutes of play. A forward pass to Van Gerbig accounted for the second in the same period. In the second quarter, unerring passes to Garrity and Euwer netted two more touchdowns. Virginia stiffened in the third period and held Princeton scoreless but the visitors were so visibly defeated that the Tiger coaches used 18 substitutes before the game was over.

One of them. Ken Smith, who relieved Cleaves at fullback, distinguished himself by drop-kicking two field goals in the final period. The lineup: Princeton (34). Position. Virginia (0).

"They played a clean, a good game, and showed that they were a very well drilled team. In 'Bo McMillin Centre has a man who is probably the hardest in the country to stop.

The Harvard men in today's game gave the best they had." The game marked the second of the season's defeats of famous Kast-ern university elevens, Chicago having won from Princeton last week. After years of virtually unbroken victories by Kastern elevens these defeats were accepted by followers of football with a national perspective, as an indication that the gospel and the practice of the gridiron game were having a greater spread than ever before in sections removed from the scene of its origin and greatest development. the eastern edge of the field until he was able to dash straight ahead for a touchdown.

This husky Centre player was everywhere. He started out as an end, became a tackle to fill a spot temporarily weak, and was called on to stiffen the backfield as rusher and interferer.

Tim of periods lira. 0 Centre College in winning today showed that an institution with a few hundred students could cope in modern football with one of several thousand undergraduates; that a team of comparatively recent development could win from one with Harvard's gridirow tradition and the coaching system behind it. The team that faced the Southerns at the outset was not the same varsity eleven that will line up against Princeton nnd Yale, but most the first String Harvard players got into the game before It was over. The Centre College team of today was a far more finished eleven than that of a year ago. its men drilled in line play, expert In interference, equipped with plays that carried to the mind of the merest novice an appreciation of their conception and execution.

Harvard was not as good as a week ago in the spectacular game with Penn State. The backs bungled their assignments, juggling the ball when they did not fumble It. Iiuell, called Into the game for a field goal in the second period, missed by a wide margin under the Centre chargo and later failed again in an effort to boot a drop kick for goal. Harvard's best accomplishment of the afternoon was the holding of Centre for downs on their 8-yard lino at the outset, of the fourth period. Centre Showed Power ljrly.

The first period was to Centre's advantage, nlthough Class, a substitute, failed in an attempted field goal from the 3-yarI line. The second was marked by Harvard rushing her advance from the Crimson's 45-yard line to Centre's 10-yard stripe, where P.uell missed a chance for a field goal. Punt exchanges consumed the rest of the play. Centre had kicked off at the beginning of the third: period and Harvard had rushed once, then punted back, when the way was opened for McMillin' winning Inurhdown. The ball was run back by Hartlett from one 45-yard line to the otber.

Penalty for tripping by a Harvard man sent Centre forward to Harvard's Sl-yard line. McMillin' Itun. The hall was snapped to McMillin nnd he made as if to pass to Hnoddy, but ran himself instead. Interferes cleared the way for him until try were put out of play, then "'Ut" went ahead alone. Changing and direction, but traveling nut he slipped through all but three of the Harvard defenders.

These he evaded one after another, skirting each when the halfway mark wasinr.lr... reached. Indiana's attack was almost completely smothered in the last two periods. The Crimson elected to play straight football until the final period, when forward passes were used. Little ground was gained by this method of attack, however.
