NEW HAVEN, Nov.

19 A Vale team that had been floundering all season found itself today in the bleak, wind-swept bowl and smashed out a 19 to 0 victory over Harvard, their football foe of 51 years standing. Less than 50,000 persons, the smallest crowd to see the annual battle between the sons of Old Eli and John Harvard for many a year, watched Yale unleash irresistable attacks in the first, third and fourth quarters, and drive across for touchdowns. The field was a much better duck-pond than a football gridiron, but Yale defied the elements and put on its finest exhibition of offensive and defensive football of the year. The Blue backs skimmed over the treacherous slush as if it were dry concrete, and handled a slippery ball with the ease of a Thurston palming a half dollar. Yale made its first strike for victory early in the first period when Curtin recovered a fumble by Crick- ard on.

Harvard's 45-yard stripe. Lassiter faded' back to midfield jigged a few steps in a mud puddle, and rifled a pass 32 yards to Parker, on the dead run as three Crimson tacklers hit him. The next play saw Crowley tear through the Harvard defense to the three-yard line where on third down, Fullback Levering lugged it across. Quarterback Sullivan then caught the Crimson team flat-footed, sweeping right end for the extra point. Harvard Drives Fail Harvard struck back as the second period opened.

Crickard took Parker's poor punt and returned it Yale's 38-yard stripe. Wells whipped through the middle to the 25-yard line, but the drive ended there. A few minutes later, Crickard, single-handed, again placed Harvard in scoring position. Taking Parker's punt in midfield. Jack wiggled his way to Yale's 16-yard line before Lassiter nailed him.

Two plays later Crickard turned right end to the five-yard line. of dETAOINIL But again the attack bogged down, the inspired Yale line yielding but one yard in four shots. That ended Harvard. Yale swung into the attack soon after the second half kickofT. The Blue marched 55 yards in six plays for a touchdown.

Lassiter started the push when he streaked around right end for 15 yards and a first down on Harvard's 40-yard stripe. He then split the Harvard middle for 12 yards more. Two plunges by Crowley and Lassiter put the ball on the 16-yard line. Lassiter, behind magnificent interference, breezed around Nazro's end to the two-yard mark. The ball was then given to Levering, and that dependable young man punched it across.

Curtin's try for the extra point failed. Pass for Final Score Yale paved the way for its final touchdown late in the third period when a Harvard lateral went haywire and was recovered by Garnsey on the Crimson's 25-yard stripe. Lassiter dropped back and shot a pass that Parker took over his shoulder as he crossed the goal line. MacWilliamson never got a chance to dropkick the extra point, as a bad pass from center forced him to dive on the ball. Yale, with almost an entire substitute team, came within an ace of scoring again when Williamson returned Crickards partly blocked punt to Harvard's six-yard line.

This drive was thwarted, however, when Williamson fumbled and Captain Carl Hageman recovered for Harvard, xne lineup: Yale 18 Wilhur Nichols ronvr fnrtin Harvard 0 Nazro Hardy 'Esterly Hallowell Gnndlarh Bancroft Bafman Crickard Barrett Dean 6 1 Parker. G. C. R- E. H.

SMITH Sports Editor Their game geared to the tempo of the- day, Pitt and Carnegie Tech fought through sunshine and blizzard at the Stadium yesterday, with the Panthers ultimately wresting victory by a 6-to-0 score from their Kiltied adversaries from across Schenley Hollow. To Pitt, though the margin was slender, it meant much, for the Blue and Gold is now but a single stride away from a def eatless cam paign, with only Stanford's Indian, who are speeding eastward today for their game here nexfc. Saturday, standing in the way. It was not without tremendous effort that the Panthers won. howr ever, and they might easily have been held scoreless had it not been for the alacrity with which they seized upon the results of a Tartan error in the third charter and turned it into a touchdown.

Before 70,000 fans, many of them getting their first glimpse of major football, the Ramblers pushed over their both touchdowns in the second quarter. The vaunted Notre Dame attack that "twice pierced the Middies was put on by a team composed of reserves with the exception of Joseph Sheeketski of Shadyside, and Lukats and Gorman. And it was this same Sheeketski who scuttled the Navy. He scored the first counter after worming his way through center for 10 yards and came back a few minutes later to score again on a nine-yard pass from Lukats. The Notre Dame first team played throughout the second half but failed to score against an inspired Navy defense.

Although it battered its way down the field to within two yards of the goal. The huge cowd, shivering under a leaden sky and a cold wind that swept in from Lake Erie, cheered mightily when the Midshipmen beat back the vicious attack of the Ramblers first team. Irish Score Twice From the outset, it was evident that Navy was outclassed as the South Bend reserves consistently dented the Middies line while Navy found itself unable to gain ground Once in the first quarter, Notre Dame drove from its own 15-yard line to the Navy 26 only to lose the ball on a fumble by Banas. Navy kicked and the Ramblers reserves with Sheeketski in the leading role, swept down the field from its 44-yard marker to the goal line. The second touchdown march started from Navy's 43-yard line ended when Lukats passed nine yards to Sheeketski who fell over the goal line.
