24 (UP) Harvard's Crimson climaxed a reasonably successful football season today by running up a 60-0 triumph over Boston University before 6000 well bundled fans, who stood up and stomped their feet in a vain effort to keep warm. So well did Harvard do its job that the third and fourth periods were reduced to 10 minutes each. It was the first meeting between the teams in 21 years and as a football game it was strictly no contest. It was the worst mauling Harvard had dealt any team in modern times. Boston Rally Fails In the third period Boston U.

held Harvard scoreless for the 10 minutes of play. But that was the final stand. In the last 10 minutes, Havard piled up 26 more points before the referee's whistle ended Boston first post-war football season. The game was only minutes old when Herbie Fritts scampered 24 yards around the B. U.

end for the initial tally. Touchdown Parade Starts Next Harvard nailed Phil Mor-rissey behind his goal for a two-point safety. Then the touchdown parade really got underway. Fritts again went around end to Statistics HARVARD BOSTON TT. IT.

Dotten. ANN ARBOR, Nov. 24 (UP) Michigan scored a fourth period touchdown today to beat Ohio State, 7 to 3, and win second place in the final Big Ten Conference standings before a shivering crowd of 85,000. The touchdown which got Michigan out of- the hole came with five minutes left in the game. Michigan rounded out its Conference season with five victories against one defeat.

Ohio State finished with a record of five won and two lost in the Big Ten. Michigan's scoring drive started at midfield when Substitute Half back Pete Elliott began a successful passing attack with a toss to Henry Fonde on the Ohio State 19-yard line. Fonde Gets Score Then two laterals from Quarterback Howard Yerges to Elliott pushed the ball to the Ohio State 10.

Ohio State was offside on the next play which made it one yard to go. On the second play, Fonde went over tackle for the touchdown. Michigan place-kicked for the extra point. Ohio State made its strongest bid for a touchdown in the third period but had to be satisfied with a place kick. Schnittker Kicks Field Goal Ollie Cline, Ohio State line puncher, and Harold Daugherty, halfback, divided honors to carry the ball to Michigan's 12.

With their running attack stalled, the Michigan's Tom Elliott gains 8. Ohioans sent in Max Schnittker, kicking artist, who made three points from the ten-yard line with a perfect placement. Another serious Ohio State march from its own seven yard line failed when a pass from Halfback Dick Fisher w-as intercepted by Bob Nuss-baumer behind the Michigan goal for an automatic touchback. At the start of today's contest both teams had a chance to tie for the Big Ten championship if Pur due should beat Indiana. The Hoosiers' victory over Purdue clinched the title, however, and Michigan had to be content with runner-up honors.

The wild-eyed Hoosier fans, who jammed the little stadium, broke loose in a crazy demonstration after the game.

Notre Dame ran up against the same Cinderella Tulane team which in the depths of a miserable season, knocked off unbeaten Mississippi state three weeks ago. Tulane did not have nearly the power that Notre Dame could field. But Coach Claude (Little Monk) Simons' New Orleans team grabbed off a 6-point lead in the first period, and clung to it until the end of the half. Irish Start to Roll But in the third period, the Notre Dame steamroller began pouring in. bull-dozing its way down the field to two touchdowns in the third and then three more in the fourth.

Tulane never cave up fighting. Even when the Notre Dame team began clicking, the underdog home team stopped many an Irish spear into the Green Wave territory. Tulane Takes Lead Tulane leaped to the lead in the first period with a 68-yard marcn. Jack Counce dove over for the touchdown after a Notre Dame penalty put the ball on the one. Terry Brennan scored for Notre Dame early in the third period.

He ran a Tulane punt 25 yards to the Tulane 47. On the first play from that spot, he went wide around left end, cut to the right and sped all the way to a 47-yard touchdown. Then Stan Krivik made the extra Toint with a hisrh dropkick, and Notre Dame led, 7-6. Angsman Goes Over Notre Dame scored again late in the period. Colella returned a punt to the Tulane 25.

Then Dancewicz pa.vcd to Leonard on the 15. Hard driving Angsman finally scored through the center of the line from the one. The extra point try was no good. The third touchdown came at the start of the fourth period. Landry of Tulane fumbled and Ruggerio recovered for Notre Dame on the Tulane 41.

A Ratterman to Oompers pass went to the Tulane IS. Panelli sped to the seven and then Ratterman passed to Brennan in the end zone for the touchdown. Krivik failed to convert. Scores Come Fast The Irish scored again midway the period. Angsman started it off with a 29-yard run, and Panelli finally went over the one.

Krivik missed the kick. WitJi half a minute to play, Notre Dame tallied again with a 21-yard pass from Cripucka to John Angone. Krivik missed the try for conversion again.

In the co-feature race of the day's program Stymie made a strong bid for handicap honors by winning the $25,000 Riggs handicap. The Futurity winner, one of the mainstays of Mrs. Elizabeth (Arden) Graham's Maine Chance Farm, scored an impressive triumph under a fine ride by Arnold Kirkland. Billy Bumps Second Following the highly-touted Count Speed's early pace, Star Pilot took command after six furlongs and was well in charge the rest of the way, winning by a length and a quarter with a 1:47 2 5 clocking for the mile and a sixteenth. Billy Bumps was second by a neck over Star Pilot's stablemate, Colony Boy, while Count Speed, the betting choice, finished sixth in the eight horse field.

Star Pilot returned $7.50, $3.70. and $4.30. Won Other Stakes Star Pilot previously had won the Belmont Futurity and Hopeful Stakes. Stymie, Mrs. Ethel D.

Jacobs' erratic racer, won with one of his characteristic late rushes. The winner of the Butler. Brooklyn, and Westchester handicaps, trailed through the early stages of the mile and three sixteenths race and then rushed doum the stretch to take the verdict by a neck from First Fiddle. British Buddy was third with Pot o' Luck fourth. Stymie paid $8.10, $4.20 and $3.20.

Okla. Aggies Close With 47-0 Victory NORMAN. Nov. 24 (UP) Bowl-bound Oklahoma A. Ac college wound up its second all-victorious collegiate season today by swamping its traditional University of Oklahoma rivals.

47-0, be-Tsre a capacity crowd of 33.000. Halfback Bob Fenimore scored on the first scrimmage play and ran wild all afternoon against a plucky but outclassed university team to pile up A. largest score off! against one loss. Approximately 30,000 fans shivered through the unemotional contest, numbed by the cold and the brand of play displayed by both sides. Hottest moment of the game came when spontaneous combustion caused a fire in the hot-dog stand at the east end of the -field.

Spectacular Run Spoiled Most brilliant play of the game, a 39-yard punt return by Columbia's Gene Rossides to the Dartmouth eight in the second period, was cut in half by tc clipping penalty. Already hopelessly beaten, Dartmouth trotted out an unheard of passer, Conrad Pensavalle, in the fourth period and he almost gave Dartmouth a score. Jack Deutsch dropped his fourth-down pass In the end zone. For Columbia, West Point-bound Lou Kusserow played the starring role, scoring the first touchdown in the second quarter after a first period Columbia drive stalled on the Dartmouth eight. Columbia Guard Tony Ventuolo set up the tally by recovering Meryll Frost's fumble of a Kusserow quick-kick on the Dartmouth 13." Kusserow loped across from the six.

Fumble Leads to Score In the third period, another recovered fumble gave Columbia the Yale Wins, 20-14, Over Princeton Bulldogs Overtake 14-0 Tiger Lead PRINCETON, N. Nov. 24 (UP) Yale spotted Princeton 14 points in the first four minutes today and then took complete control of the game to win, 20-14, in their 68th football meeting. Yale rolled up 22 first downs and 357 yards whereas Princeton could only make one first down and had a total of four yards gained during the day. The Princeton Tiger flashed its only scoring power in the first 11 plays.

On the fourth play, Yale's Paul Walker attempted to kick from his 20, but Big Dan Williams blocked the punt and Princeton recovered on the Yale 2. Jack Weber cracked tackle for the touchdown. Fumble Aids Tigers Two plays later, Tom Scannell fumbled and Williams recovered on the 4. On the second play, Paul White plunged through center for the score. Williams made both conversions.

Yale took over the game and had the ball most of the time but didn't get to score until the second period. The first touchdown terminated a 75-yard march started in the first period. Andy Kirk and Bill Penn alternated in ripping the Princeton line to the Tiger's 30, from where Art Dakos lobbed a pass to Dave Hoopes on the 7. In three plays, Penn plunged over for the score. Pass Gives Yale Score An exchange of kicks gave Yale the ball on the Tiger's 35.

After an 8-yard gain through the line by Penn, Art Fitzgerald lofted a pass from the 30 to Kirk, who grabbed the ball from three Princeton defenders on the 3, and stepped over for the score. Frank Denezzo made only one conversion which left Yale behind 14 to 13 at half time. Princeton made the fatal mistake of kicking off to Yale to start the second half because Yale held the ball for the first 11 minutes and used line plays, with a short Dakos-to-Walker pass to bring the ball down to the one-foot line, from where Kirk plunged over guard for the score on a fourth down.

Nov. 24 (UP) A trust fund of almost $18,000 given by football fans has been set up for George Poschner, former football player at the University of Georgia. Poschner, slender star of the 1942 Georgia Rose Bowl team, lost both legs, part of one arm and suffered a head wound in France. A fund drive by the Georgia Alumni Assn. and The Atlanta Jour nal netted donations from all over the world for the former Youngs- town, athlete.

Named to the committee which will supervise the fund at Posch-ner's request were Hughes Spalding, attorney, and Frank Troutman of Atlanta, prominent Georgia alum nus, and Ed Danforth, sports editor of The Atlanta Journal. Nebraska Beats Iowa, 13 to 6 Fischer Sparks Huskers to Win LINCOLN, Nov. 24 (UP) Cletus Fischer, 170-pound freshman fullback, came off the bench to spark Nebraska to a 13 to 6 Victory over Iowa in the final football game of the season lor both teams before 12,000 spectators. Fischer, a substitute who had played only six-man football before enrolling at Nebraska this September, scored Nebraska's first touch down on a 50-yard dash and then set up the second touchdown to defeat the Iowans, cellar-dwelling Big Ten team. Fischer Runs 50 Yards With two minutes of the first period left, Fischer dropped back to midfield for a pass.

Unable to find a receiver, he circled end and dodged through Iowa's spread- eagled defense for 50 yards and the touchdown to tie the score at 6-all. In the final period, Fischer's jitter-foot running helped carry Nebraska to the Iowa six trom where Phil Young plunged over Tor the game-winning touchdown. Iowa's Bid Fails Iowa opened up in the closing minutes, with Jerry Niles passing, but Nebraska's defense dug in to close out a mediocre season with an unexpected victory. Iowa, which won only two games this season, opened the scoring early in the first period on a 27-yard pass from Niles to Johnny Hunter in the end zone. Niles kicked the extra point but a holding penalty was called, and his second attempt, from 15 yards farther back, failed.

Coach Bobby Dodd of Tech started his second team and before he could get it out, the Tigers had slammed downfield for 70 yards and a touchdown. Tech's first stringers went in then but Clemson continued to dominate the play and scored twice more on drives of 70 and 80 yards. Billy Poe lighted the fuse on the first Clemson march with a 26-yard sprint from the Tiger 35 to the Tech 39. Marion Butler bowled into the line and went to the Tech 26. Plunges carried to the two where Jim Reynolds dove over.

The second Clemson score originated from the 30, with Carol Cox and Dewey Quinn tearing into the line for short gains and a 27-yard pass from Cox to End Sam Butz setting the ball on the Tech 18. After Poe had lost four, Butler wheeled around right end for 22 yards and the touchdown that put Clemson out front 14-0 at the half. Tech. sparked by little Jack Peek, drove 78 yards for a touchdown in the last period, the biggest gain coming on a 35-yard pass from George Mathews to Walter Kilzer. George Broadnax took a pass from Ed Holtstnger and cantered 10 yards for the Engineer score.

It took Clemson only five plays the 1945 season..
