Before 54,000 spectators he clawed and subdued l'enn 14 to 0, a reverse that failed to become a massacre and a rout only through the dint of an indomitable fighting spirit that swept through the beaten legions of Red and Blue always.

'Twas an avalanche that rolled down upon the Quaker, hopeless always, bap-less ever, a juggernaut out of the western end of the State that crushed its victim without mercy and without cessation. The score by no means represents the margin between victor and vanquished, and while the Quaker was destroyed, he was no pacifist yesterday. For the Red and Blue fought with every ounce of strength, every iota of courage that lurked in those minions battling a brave but losing battle. Conquered was Penn, courageous she was ever. To the victor rightfully belonged the spoils, and Pitt triumphed because she had a machine that was unconquerable, a football phalanx whose interference was perfection, whose running attack nigh unstoppable and who outclassed and outplayed her rivals from the first clarion to the final blast.

All her warriors bore a hero's shield into the battle, too, all their muddied brows were bedecked with a conqueror's crown. She simply overwhelmed and overthrew her elder brother in the eastern sector of Dame Pennsylvania's wideflung domains, and was thwarted from a greater conquest only because of the valor and the might of the reserve legions that Old Penn hurled into the fray. Two touchdowns was the vantage that accrued to the Panther, but those fourteen points were a poor index of the mettle of the intrastate foes. Indeed the thirteen first downs that Pitt gleaned, compared to the four that Penn received was a better reflex of the existing battle than the mere figures that Mr. Spalding will eruDalni in his tomes forever.

Golden opportunities came to 'Penn to score, but always she was balked by the might of that machine that came tans. i OLD NASSAU WINS BIG THREE TITLE By BEATING ELIS Tigers' Brilliant Attack Carries Them to 25-12 Stirring Triumph Slagle's 81-Yard Run in Second Period Inspires.

Hoper provided his eleven with pcr-i plays and they executed them the precision that a strong varsity eleven does in a practice scrimmage with the scrubs.

The Princeton cheering section, a of flaming orange color, was in a frenzy as Captain McMillan's fighters tore the Yale team to tatters.

Nov. 14. LACKING punch in the first period when on the Villanova 1-yard line cost Lehigh an even break and a probable victory in the game here today, Villanova winning by score of to 0. The two teams battled scoreless until the third period when the squad coached by Harry Stuhl-dreher, crashed across for the only touchdown in the game. The scoring opportunity came shortly after an exchange of punts which left Lehigh with the ball on their own 10-yard line.

Unable to penetrate the Villanova defense, Hess fell back to punt. Cheel made his one bad pass of the game, the ball rolling to Hess. The latter scooped it up and in hurrying his kick against the wind, drove the ball to bis own 18-yard line-, where Villanova recovered. Penalties that played havoc with Lehigh's aerial attack and also with the Mair Liners for a time threatened to frustrate their efforts to get the 'ball across. On two plays Jordan hit the lin for 10 yards and a first down on Lehigh's 8-yard line.

Jordan made 3 more yards and then Bolger added 3 more. On the latter play and the third down, Villanova was yards. However, on the next play Slane snaked through Lehigh's left tackle and then reversing his field cut diagonally across the gridiron to go the necessary distance. Jordan's attempt to annex the extra point struck the cross-bar and bounded into playing field. Lehigh's opportunity to score was lost in the first period, and after that the Brown and White never again became a dangerous factor.

Playing with the stiff gale that blew across the field, Lehigh elected to punt at every opportunity and with this advantage outdistanced the Villanova's punts. It was on one of these three punts that Kuoze fumbled and Lehigbt recovered the ball on Villanova's 20-yard line. A pass, O'Callaghan to Morrill gave Lehigh a first down on Villanova's 7-yard line. Lehigh elected to carry the ball by straight line bucking and Lewin clipped off two yards on his first attempt. Again Lewin slid off tackle for two yards and on the next play Hess advanced the ball with hardly more than a yard to go.

Stevens was entrusted to carry it across and it seemed as though he had. However, after unraveling the heap of players it was found that the- ball was shy just inches of a Lehigh touchdown. The quarter ended shortly after that. Viilanova started the game with the so-called second team but shortly after the start of, the second quarter- Coach Stuhldreher sent his shock troops to the front, making a complete substitution of the starting eleven. The visitors then started their offensive with Jordan and Slane ripping through Lehigh for nine yards to Lehigh's 30-yard line.

THE dogging steps of Colgate continued their ceaseless tread toward the pinnacle of Eastern football today, when the Maroon overwhelmed its traditional rival, Syracuse, 19 to G. on a gridiron of mud and water bef or a colorful throng of 30.IMMJ spectators. Under the driving leadership of it brilliant captain. Eddie Tryon. the Mn-roon defied the raging elements and not only eimiuated Syracuse from the ranks of the undefeated, but it violated the hitherto uncrossed Orange goal line three times in that swampy encounter.

Colgate seemed to thrive on the heavy going. The gridiron, converted into a field of mud by the rains of the last two days, slowed up the play of the Orange team, but the momentum of the Maroon was not retarded by the slickv field. Tryon's claim to mythical ail-American recognition was fu'ly substantiated by his showing today. With only a fair lighting team behind him, Tryon wallowed fast and far in the mud and demoralized the OrnTige defense with his broken field maneuvering. Its interference was baffling to the leaky Orange defense and its generalship was superb on all occasions.

Two Orange fumbles and a Mocked kick gave Colgate its three touchdowns, while Syracuse scored as Ihe indirect result of a poor kick by Tryon. one of Ihe two poor hoists the Monde leader of the Maroon got off during the afternoon's- play.

1-fe THE largest number of spectatora t-o a game here this season were treated to quite the finest contest of the year when the Naval Academy ended its home schedule by winning from Bucknell, 13 to 7 in a contest which was quite typical of the clashes between teams of these institutions. Both teams were full of fight and resourcefulness of the kind which kept the spectators thrilled and on their toes until final time had been called. After the Navy had its second touchdown in the final quarter, Buck-" nell came back with a daring and determined attack which came within an ace of achieving a score and tying or winning the game. The teams were well matched physically and in the individuality of their members. The wind, which was a strong one (blowing straight down the field, was a big factor and a little better use of it by the Navy probably meant victory for All the scores were made when the winning team had the wind behind it.

and at other times, they had to struggle desperately to keep on even terms. It was the fact 'that the Navy was able to prevent a score in the second quarter when the wind favored Bucknell that gave it the margin. The Navy secured its first touchdown in short time. Trimmer, kicking off for Buknell, kicked outside twice and the Navy took the ball on its own twenty-yard line. Shapley kicked to Bucknell's ten-yard line.

M. Goodwin and Blaisdell failed to gain and the former punted only to his twenty-yard line. Fifteen yards by Shapley around end put the ball where Caldwell could carry it over. Shapley, however, failed oadd a point by his placement kick. The Navy line and secondary defense 'ought a great battle in the second quarter and kept Bucknell from scoring.

Several times, however, the Midshipmen bad to battle hard inside their nvn 25-yard line. McCormick narrowly missed a field goal using a drop from the thirty-five yard line as the quarter ended. Shapley, who had dropped out of the game late in the first quarter with an injured ankle, returned at the beginning of the third and played iiDtil the end Littig kicked off to Blaisdell, who was stopped on Bucknell's So-yard line, and Continued on 6th Page, 6th Column 1 nrrtiin i mirim in 1 1 xiiiiwiw inn inn uniirr ititith BIG GREEN ELEVEN OBERLANDER STARS Dartmouth Invades West and Stuns in Its Vivid Attack Maroon Cohorts Hail Hanover Team as Outstanding Machine of the Nation CHICAGO. Nov. 14 (A.

DARTMOUTH'S powerful football eleven, the sensation of the East, strengthened its claim to the gridiron championship of America in a most convincing manner today by crushing Chicago. to 7, before a colorful crowd of 35,000 spectators, who saw the Maroons suffer their most devastating defeat since 191tf. The biif Green eleven, victors over Brown, Cornell and Harvard in its major Eastern contests, finished its season with today's game with a record of being untied and undefeated. Dartmouth virtually ran away with the game, continuing its bewildering forward pass attack from start to fu ish and scoring four of its five touchdowns with aerial tosses hurled by "Swede" Oberlander, the "Red Grange" of the East. Maroon Strong In One' Period The Maroons fought hard, crashing over with their lone touchdown by line smashes in the third period but their offensive efforts in the other three periods were futile.

Two of Chicago's stars. McCarty and Kernwein, were forced to rjuit because of injuries. Chicago went down trying to combat the greatest forward passing attack ever witnessed on Stagg Field. Opening up with a deceptive forward passing offensive in the first few ipi'ii-Mtes of play, the Dartmouth team tilled the air with passes until the Maroons became dizzy looking at them. The Eastern invaders out-tricked the Ma roons, catching them off balance by interspersing their passes with swift thrusts at.

the line, and then mixing up a few ena runs in between passes and liDe smashes. almost every play Oberlander, Dartmouth's candidate for All-American honors, was the chief factor. This Scandinavian displayed some of the greatest open field running, punting and forward passing the Middle West has ever seen. No team in the East has been able to stop him, and Chicago did not even slow him down. Give Oberlander Great Support Oberlander was given brilliant support by perfect, well-timed interference and shared honors with Eane, the other Dartmouth half-back, and McPhaik, the quarter-back.

Lane scored three of Dartmouth's touchdowns by snagging Oberlander's passes out of the air and also alternated with the "Terrible Swede" in cracking the Maroon line. Lane's work in snaring Oberlander's overhead shots was marvelous. He made twisting leaps into the air, catching the ball with his finger tips, when it seemed that the oval would shoot high over his head. Oberlander's ability In throwing passes was a revelation. He literally throws touchdowns, shooting the ball across the field with the accuracy of a Johnny Kling in pegging a to second base.

Some of his tosses were good for thirty yards, and he rarely missed a receiver whenever he cut loose. Dartmouth's tricky style of plav stunned the Maroons from the start but in the third period they began to solve the Easterners' style and held them while driving through the line to make their most dangerous threat of the game. Chicago's only touchdown was scored in this period and was largely the result of a penalty inflicted on Dartmouth that gave Chicago the ball on the Green 20-yard line. Kernwein started a drive from this point that resulted in his scoring a Continued on 6th Page, 3d Column CRUSHES CGO MACKAY from the other end of the Commonwealth. One touchdown she really earned, but Fate, in the form of an injured ankle affixed to George Thayer, prevented the Red and Blue from that balm to her wound, that solace to her defeat.

This came just as the final whistle was to blow to end the second period. Back in his own field, Douglas stood and after receiving the ball on a double pass, hurled the ball with vim and accuracy into the lurking arms of Thayer. The latter swept past one tackier, sidestepped another and away he sped, bound for that unimpeded goal line dead ahead. But the maimed ankle refused its burden, the injured limb could not respond to the 'appeal for speed. So as the Penn end darted ahead, trying with all the strength he had to summon some latent fleetness into those deadened feet, the Pitt safety man cut across the sward and brought him down from behind, after George had galloped ahead 32 yards.

Again in the fourth, a wily attempt to outwit officials and enemies failed. Pitt had carried the ball to the opposing 7-yard line, when Penn stiffened, as she did frequently in the latter half of the game. Rogers tore through like a motortruck and buried the Pitt runner in the sod. As the runner lay supine on the grass, Rogers corkscrewed his hand into the ball and tore it from the grasp of the supine I'anther. The ball bobbed and rolled about, and Folwell Scull, one of the valiant substitute henchmen of Lou Young, picked Away leaped the Lower Merion lad with the speed of an antelope, the grace of a fawn.

Over the ninety-three yards that separated Folwell from the rear of the Pitt boundaries he galloped.

Kirchmeyer, star of the Columbia attack, then whipped a forward p.iss to Pease, and the fast New York back darted t-'O yards for a touchdown. The Army desperately called on Hewitt and Wilson at this point.

The latter reeled off several brilliant runs, but they came too late to beat an inspired Columbia, whose vigorous defense brought vocal encouragement from the throats of 45,000 surprised spectators. Columbia posted the first touchdown after a scoreless first half, Kirchmeyer taking a lateral pass and running forty-yards for the score. Sprints of thirty-eight, twenty-two and ten yards by Trapnell in quick succession carried Army to the one-yard line on the succeeding kick-off, and Scheiffler went over for the Army's only touchdown.

ARMY MULE SLIPS ON POLO GROUNDS AND IS TRAMPLED BY COLUMBIA NEW YORK. Nov. 14 (A. AN ARMY mule which tramped over Notre Dame and stubbornly battled Yale tripped at the Polo Grounds today and enabled Columbia to score its first notable gridiron triumph against a leading Eastern foe since ll5. The final score, 21-7, was entered in the record books next to the 'i ale-Princeton result as one of the year outstanding upsets.

Twenty years ago a Blue and White eleven defeated Cornell here, but there had been little, if any, indication that the uncertain Columbia Lions of 1925, beaten by Ohio State and Cornell, and tied last week by N. I could stop the powerful machine from the West Point plateau. The Army of today was not the Army that smothered Rockne's team, however. Except for a few minutes in the final quarter, Wilson, Hewitt and Harding, three regular backs, remained on the sidelines to nurse injuries. Ihe fleet-footed Trapnell.

only member of the first string backfield able to play throughout, reeled off spectacular runs repeatedly, but he was unable single-handed to balance a newly-found Columbia offensive which sprang into being today when rare opportunities developed.
