A pass went over the goal line for a touchback. Karj took the ball on the 2J-yard line, Zuber uncorked an '80-yard punt, for a touchback and from then on Missouri was largely on the defensive In her own" territory.

Forward Passes 'Enable Jayhawker Eleven to Score in Second Period Spurred on by their indomitable captain, Dolph Cheek, husky Cali-fornian, whose brilliant work stood dut in the thick of every fray, the rejuvenated Crimson forces put their backs to the wall and played their rivals to a standstill In a series of thrilling defensive stands. Tale, entering the game a three to one, favorite, outrushed Harvard more than two to one with an attack that overshadowed that of the crimson but the Elis, contributing to their failure with erratic generalship and loose handling cf the ball, lacked the punch to penetrate the stonewall defense put up by the Cambridge eleven. 53,000 See Contest.

A crowd of 3,000 spectators, most of them convinced that would make it three straight ever Harvard saw the Elis come wl'hin striking distance of the Crimson goal line six times, only to the ball on downs or toss i way-opportunities because of errors. Twice, while the Blue stands echoed their yells for a touchdown. Tale advanced as far as Harvard'. 2 -yard line in threats which, oddly enough, furnished both the openir.g and closing thrills of this traditional drama. It was typical of Harvard's whole fight that the Crimson should throw up its final bulwark and stop the blue only a few feet from the goal as the final whistle blew.

Captain Clieek. to Rescue. There was less than two minutes of play as Yale, fighting desperately, planted the ball on Harvard's 5-yaxd line when Bradley, sub end. grabbed a spectacular forward pass which Quarterback Bunnell had-thrown from midfield. Only a desperate tackle from behind by Captain Cheek prevented Bradley from i on4 there for a 1 touchdown, and It seemed t.iai Yale finally was to break through with four downs in which to negotiate tSnly 15 feet.

But Harvard had the defensive stuff left for one more stand. Thrice the burly figure of Caldwell, a third string back, hurled himself at the Crimson Jerseys, but it yielded only three yards altogether. Then Just as Tale huddled together for on more lunge, the shrill sound of the whistle broke through the din of cheers to mark the end of the game.

The visitors undoubtedly were the better team, and showed a brand of interference that. at times, swept the Billikens off their feet Their formations were tricky, trrey used an unbalanced line every other play, and in Dona-hoe and Bastian exhibited two tf the prettiest backs seen on the local gridiron this year. Billikens Find Themselves.

Nevertheless the Bilikens stood a good chance to win up to the middle of the third period, when the turning point of tlie game came. It was ln this period that they turned on the enemy which had outrushed them 135 yards to nine in ten first half. Carnegie received the kickoff at the opening of the second half and was surprised to find its fancy for- smeared by the BilUken linemen.

It was called back by the referee, who ruled that Field had assisted Rippstein In his plunge by shoving him across. The decision was protested, the Billikens declaring that Field had his back to Rippstein at the time the foul was called and was engaged In taking out a tackier at the time, but the ruling stuck and the Billikens lost the ball on downs. Had the touchdown been allowed, they would have held an 6 lead. Beginning the fourth period, with the score 6 5 In favor of Car-iietrie.
