28. (AP.) Yule's football team, which swamped Prince-ton today, was termed by Al Wit.tmor, the Tiger head couch, as "easily the best we have met this season." "Yale deserved the decisive victory," Wittmer said. "The Princeton team played as well as expected, but could not hold Its own against the strong, resourceful Yale team." The Eli players were fighting for Albie Booth, their captain, who is ill with a heavy cold, Mai Stevens, Yule coach, commented. "Nothing in the world could have stopped them," he said. "The Pninteton team played well, but was simply outclassed bv a team that could not and would not bo held."

Stanford scored two other touchdowns in addition to those of Cnddell. One followed a march down the field from the 50 yard line, starting just before the first quarter ended when Moffit slashed through tackle for 11 yards and then threw a forward which put the ball on the 28 yard line as the quarter ended. Cadell slashed through left tackle twice as the second period opened and then Compbell and Hill completed another pass the ball being downed on Dartmouth's 11 yard line. Caddell knifed through for two yards, Jack Htlhnan for five and Campbell made it first down on the Dartmouth one yard line with a three yard line smash. Then Harry Hillman bumped the opposition out of the way and slid under them for the touchdown.

It was late in the last quarter, with dusk settling down ovpr the field, when the Indians of the West scored for the fifth and last time. Reynolds started this march by intercepting a Morton forward pass on the 50 yard line and running back to the 29 yard line before he was pulled down. Dartmouth held stubbornly and on fourth down and with four yards to go Uin-tala "faded back" a sizzling high pass which Don Colvin, going almost to the intersection of the side line and the goal line, far to his right, used his six feet three Inches and a long reach to get on his finger tips, pull down and cross the line. Corbus converted the point with a place kick, the only point after touchdown scored by Stanford. Abandons Running Game.

Dartmouth never gave up hope of flushing a rally which would equal that which gave thorn a tie in their game at, Yale but the strength of the Stanford line was so great and the Warner tenni accumulated a two-touchdown lead so auicklv. that Bill Morton was forced to abandon the big Green's running attack and turn to an aerial game in the hope of having Bill McCull or Brister connect with his long, high passes. McCall did connect with one of these long tosses and It gave Dartmouth its only points. In the middle of the second quarter, with Stanford leading 19 to 0 and moving steadily towards a fourth touchdown, Jack Hillman fumbled, Branch recovering for Dartmouth on Stanford's 39 yard line. Morton twisted his way for nn eleven yard gain and then the Green in three plays, one a forward from Morton to Blister, earned a first down on Stanford's 22 yard Hup.

Morton, on first down, ran back to the 35 yard line and threw a long high pass which Just went over the heads of Stanford's secondary defense and settled in the arms of Bill McCull as he ran across the goal line. That tells the story of Dartmouth's offensive. McCall and Morton wore the only outstanding players for the Indians of the North. McCnll made two or throe runs of from 10 to 20 yards and Morton ran back the lust kickoff fust 76 yards. But Stanford showed four star backs, a fine defensive reenter in Marks, a pair of fine ends in Doub and Colvin and a mystifying assortment of double pass, triple passes, laterals on the end of forwards and quite a bit of "thimble rigging" as the ball was handled with a rapidly moving backfield.

Dartmouth once In the second period before scoring marched Into Stanford territory to the 40 yard line, a long pass by Morton to Litzenbci gor doing the trick only to have a pass lnterceoted by Colvin. In the first quarter the lilg Green recovered a fumble on Stanford's 40 yard line but J. Hillman intercepted a pass to nullify this opportunity.

A ripping, tearing Army team, lull of fight and flame, struck Notre Dame today with the sweep of a cyclone. This Army team beat the South Bend invaders 12 to 0 as 80,000 sat through a swirling snow storm through the first half of the. bitter battle to get the shock of their lives. The Army won the game on two great plays. The first was a long pass from Brown to Steeker in the first quarter that picked up 58 yards and led to the first touchdown.

The second deadly thrust that found Notre Dame's heart came in the final quarter when the brilliant Steeker, the big star of the afternoon, swept around Notre Dame's right end for 70 yards and the second touchdown. Around these two great offensive plays the Army defense knocked Notre Dame's attack cock-eyed and lopsided all the afternoon. Stop Marchy Schwartz. Army tacklers ripped Notre Dame's blocking system wide open and then drove the ball carrier to earth with a force that often left him dazed and half stunned. Far back of his own line the Army struck with a deadly ferocity all through the afternoon.

Through the drifting snow flakes and later on through the heavy shadows that turned the field into the mist of twilight. It was this deadly tackling, led by Kilday, Steeker and Brown that kept even the mighty Marchmont Schwartz plastered in the mud most of the afternoon. The two Army touchdown plays were among the finest of the year. Thev had the blood of the big crowd running warm even in winter weather. The first killing blow came early in the first period.

Brown, the young Army star, dropped back as if to kick. In place of this he threw a down field pass to Ray Steeker who took the ball at blazing speed and ran to Notre Dame's seven yard line before he was brought to earth. Steeker then raced around Notre Dame's right end for 6 yards and a moment later. Kilday hammered his way across the line. Steeker failed at goal but 1500 cadets were having a young riot.

Notre Dame's big supporting crowd sat in stunned silence, but few thought the Army Would ever hold this lead, much less add another score. "Now we'll go." some Notre Dame rooter shouted, but Notre Dame never had a chance to go. The Army kept ripping through Notre Dame blockers and spilling the runners on play after play. It was around the middle of the second period before Notre Dame made her first down and then Schwartz had to travel 11 vards with little help, fighting his way along. But the big smash came iff the'fourth period on the greatest run of the year, one of the greatest I've ever seen on any football field.

Steeker Breaks Loose." With the ball on Army's 30 yard line, Ray Steeker struck just outside of Notre Dame's right tackle. Able blocking got the fleet Army back on by the line of scrimmage, and then he put on a running show that no one will ever forget. He swept, by two South Bend tacklers and then swerved to the left. Here he stiff armed another tackier in green, half stumbled, recovered his balance and picked up speed again. Once more he seemed to be cornered and collared wtih two men barring the road, but he stiff-armed another and then out ran the last man between him and the Irish goal.

For 70 yards he seemed to run through or over more than half the Notre Dame team until he finally crossed the line for the second score. There were at least three moments during this 70 yard sweep when Steeker seemed to have no chance to make any further headway. But he used every thing a great broken field runner needs to clear the way until he was safe across the line with the ball game in his muddy arms. Notre Dame fought back bitterly after the first Army score, but her charge came too late. Army Gels Jump.

An inspired Army team had gotten the jump and an inspired Army team held the jump all the way through. On three occasions Notre Dame had the Cadets in a rough spot, threatening to score, but on each occasion a swarm of Army's charging defensive stars broke through to spill the runner for a loss, when any danger threatened the Army defense was impregnable. If any Notre Dame runner, including Schwartz, ever made any headway at all, either Kilday or Brown came tearing along to stop the play with a thud that could be heard all over the field. When the Army struck today It struck with everything it had and it struck through every play. Notre Dame only made four first downs and these barely made the distance.

On any number of occasions Notre Dame faced a fourth down with 10. 12, 14 and even 18 yards to go. This shows how comoletely the South Bend running and passing game was covered and stopped. Even as great a back as Schwartz never had chance. He was never allowed to get started, to reach the open, and his passes were knocked down through all four periods by an alert Army defense that seemed to be in exactly the right spot on every play.

After the first Aimy touchdown which came on a 58 yard pass and run from Brown to Stacker, the big crowd began to wait for the Notre Dame attack to get started. But human flesh can't force its way through a ttcel wall, and that was (Concluded on Page 4.) i sent eight touchdowns thundering across the Princeton goal line to make the final score 51 to 14 and complete the largest victory margin Yale has scored over Princeton since i their hallowed series began 10 years after the close of the Civil War. A niilThtV plpurn hnmhlarf Princeton by 32 to 0 in 1K)0 but until today's debacle neither side has since been powerful enough to reach a total of 30 Kesrrvrs Score Quickly. The EU coaches made a gallant effort to stem the tide of touchdowns by starting their second team In the third period, but the Yale youngsters quickly rattled two more scores across the Tiger citadel and Princeton took what balm it could from the fact that both its touchdowns came In the fourth quarter while the Blue regulars were on the field. Late in the third quarter two Purnell to Wister forward passe cut deep into Yale territory and the ball was on the Bulldog 20 yard line when the reserves came out and the first siring line and backfield re-entered the game.

Against this hitherto Impregnable Eli line, the fighting Tigers backs fought their way to Yale's four yard line before their futile rushing finally yielded to a stonewall and gave up the ball on downs. Princeton, trailing by 32 might have been expected to fold up after that heartbreaker but they were not through fighting. Yule tried one rushing play that moved the ball out to the five yard line before Parker decided to kick out of danger. The ball was snapped but F'rcd Billings, Princeton left guard, was out of the line in a flasn, swarming nil over Parker before he could lift the ball from his toe. The ball dropped dead and Billings pounced on it for a touchdown.

Stan Purnell place-kicked the goal and Princeton had 7 points. Forward Pass Scores. The other Tiger touchdown came In the middle of the last quarter when Purnell tossed a forward pass from mid field that Tom Johnston caught and ran 42 yards across the Yale goal line. Thai's the story of the Princeton scoring. The Tiger never threatened to make the game close, nor did make any further serious scoring threats.

Against the hard charging front line of blue jerseys. Princeton's attack beat Itself into exhaustion and its defense was never capable of more than momentarily slowing down the lashing running game of Yale. Yale's record-smashing total was piled up while Albie Booth, its captain and climax runner listened to the game on the radio.

Crowley Dough Over. The sophomore flash hit left tackle again for nine yards and Crowley ploughed over for the first touchdown. Rotan place-kicked the point. Princeton, in the next five minutes, made one of its few sustained advances, moving 27 yards to Yale's 24 yard line on heroic plunging bv Jack James and Millard Draudt. But Joe Crowley stopped them by plucking forward nass out of the air and Yale started its second parade to a touchdown.

This second Yale score was the result of eight plays that gobbled up 85 yards nnd gave the first indication of the relentless power of the Blue attack. Parker wheeled right end for eight yards. Levering broke through left cuird for 20. Lassiter added 15 at loft tackle and then, after a few shorter plunges, whipped a forward nass that Bob Parker caught on the Tiger 20 yard line and converted into a touchdown by fighting off throe Princeton tacklers.

(Special.) Under a murky wintry ceiling of gray clouds which spanned the Ynle Bowl, a crowd of more than 40,000 braved the chill of a bitterly cold day to watch the Blue team vanquish Princeton in their fifty-fifth annual football game here today. Shivering In the gusts of a biting wind which swept swirling streamers of snow from the rim of the massive bowl, they watched a powerful Blue squad hammer and batter a Tiger team Into defeat by the largest score a Yale eleven has ever beaten Princeton in a battle in which every Blue play fairly crackled with almost invincible power. They saw the Tiger defense ripped and torn to shreds in a smashing, driving attack which brought the Princeton squad the worst beating since the teams began their 55-yeara-old feud but fulled to crack the splendid courage of the elevens from the Old Nassua. Crowley, big Yale back, smashed through the Orange and Black line for a touchdown in the first quarter, and the rangy sophomore. Hob fired nn nrrowy forward pass to Boh Parker for another to un the Tiger defense before the period ended.

Princeton I'ndauntrd. From the Princeton side of the bowl, where bright orange shaded the reds, blues, and yellows in a teeming mass of brilliant, color, rolled cheers of encouragement and the Princeton band stopped jauntily around the field, like toy soldiers. Parading down the center of the field, the bandsmen swung into a formation spelling "Yale" half a tribute, half a challenge. Yalo put In ft pair or brothers, Clem and Mack Williamson, past masters in the use of the lateral pass, who soon brought the Blue total to 32, and the Yale crowd added its cheers to a great Princeton ovation as Millard Draudt, one of the Tigers' courageous aces in the now hopeless battle, left the field.

Georgia Has Wide Margin Over Tech Bulldogs Unleash Power Early To Overwhelm Golden Tornado in An nual Classic, 35 to 6 Athens. Ga. Nov. 28. (AP Georgia University's Bulldogs today completed their southern conference schedule Vith a 35 to 6 victory over their state rival, Georgia Tech.

It was one of the greatest triumphs Georgia has scored over Tech in the 38 years of their rivalry. Rushing over two touchdowns in the first period, Georgia quickly took command of the situation and the issue was never in doubt after the first ten minutes. After a second period devoid of touchdowns, Georgia came back to count twice in the third quarter and once in the final period. Except for a final drive in the last few minutes that brought its only touchdown, the Tech offense, which functioned so well against Florida last week, was not in evidence. However, in the second period Tech's defense was so strong that Georgie could not come within scoring distance, although the bulldogs rolled up five first downs.

Georgia's second string backfield and a varsity line started against Tech and counted twice, but the varsity, rushed in at the opening of the second period, could not nierce the Jackets' defense when the goal was neared.

1 BY ALBERT W. KEANE. Cambridge. Nov. 28.

Stanford, the Indians of the West, led by a fleet footed brave named Ernie Caddell, swept down on a band of unsuspect- ing Dartmouth Indians of the North in the Harvard Stadium this afternoon and before the football massacre which followed was over the tribesmen from the Pacific Coast had demonstrated their power, their craftiness and their sped in a 32 to 6 victory while 42,000 surprised New England spectators looked on. "Pop" Warner, who led his Carlisle Indians into this same Stadium twenty years aao to battle the Crim son, came back to New England for me urst time since that day with a powerful squad from the Golden Slope, the first from that section ever to appear in New England. Using his famous wing-back formation with a set of backs and linemen who func tioned almost perfectly at the proper time, Warners system was demon strated to the Nth degree. Double passes, triple passes, hidden ball plays and laterals on the end of the forward passes combined to mystify the uarunoutii oeiense. Early Scores Inspire Stanford.

In less than a minute after Referee Eddie O'Brien whistled the ball into play the brilliant young brave Caddell had twisted his way ground Dartmouth's right end, snook off one backfield tackier and stepped 71 yards lor a loucnaown. It was a stunning blow to the Indians of the North but no more surprising and stunning, than a 63 yard run seven minutes later, following an offtackle slice through the left side of Dartmouth's line by the same Cadell. Once in the open he outran the fastest of the big Green backs who were trying to run him down. These brilliant individual efforts gave the Indians of West two touchdowns in less than eight minutes of play, fired them with a spirit which made them appear as one of the great teams of the year and enabled them to make a strong and courageous Dartmouth clev.en appear a weakling. Caddell was the brightest of the ball carrying stars shown by Pop Warner.

In addition to this touchdown making jaunts of 71 and 63 yards in the first quarter he ran back a kickoff 29 yards in the third quarter, galloped 33. yards before he was brought down a little later in the same quarter and in the fourth quarter snared one of Hillman's forward on the four yard marker to turn and twist across the line for his third touchdown of the massacre. Figures Tell Story. The work of Cadell is a sample of the manner in which the braves from the Golden Slope outclassed those from the hills of New Hampshire. Sometimes figures do not tell the story but they serve this purpose well today.

Stanford gained 364 yards by rushing, making 15 first downs, and also gained 131 yards by the successful use of the forward pass. In brief Stanford gained 375 yards while Dartmouth, with a 71 yards total in rushing, six first downs and 63 yards earned by the aerial game accounted for 124 yards Just about one-third of the total earned by Warner's men. Only in one department of the game did Dartmouth have the edge. That was in kicking.Mvhere Bill Morton did splendid work, getting an average of 40 yards from his scrimmage line, against 23 for the Califor-nlans. The California line as a whole outplayed the Big Green forwards, snarled up Dartmouth's running plays and hurried Morton's forward passing to such an extent that this expert in the overhead attack, tossing 31 pujiKes.
