21. (IP) Notre Dame's mighty fortress of football, impregnable against 26 assaults in almost three years of gridiron warfare, fell at last today. Fluttering over its ruins tonight flew the Cardinal and Gold battle fiag of the roaring Trojans from Southern California, who astounded the world of football by ransacking it with one 15 minute rush in the last period of battle by a margin of 16 to 14. The final rush came just when It looked as if the big Notre Dame guns, Marchy Schwartz and Sieve Banas, seemed certain of winning the day. Trailing by two touchdowns as they entered the final period, the Trojans could not be denied as they smashed the Irish wall.

Iowa Puts Up Stubborn Battle But Loses, 19 6 Russell Plunges Over For First Score In First Quarter; Wildcats Unable To Score Again Until Hawk-eyes Tire In Final Period HARVARD STADIUM, CAMBRIDGE, Nov. Alble Booth, Yale's little Boy Blue, broke the Crimson spell today and drop-kicked the Elis to a spectacular victory over Harvard, 3 to 0, In the mellow November twilight of his last varsity football game against the Crimson. The climax to a bitterly waged battle, scoreless for 57 minutes as each team lost golden opportunities to break through, came with barely three minutes to go. Harvard's fading hopes had just been revived by a slashing 28 yard run by Jack Crickard, near to mldfield, when Captain Barry Wood's attempted punt was blocked and recovered by big John Wilbur, Ell tackle, thereby opening tho way for Yale's triumphant thrust from Schwartz; Points after touchdown Jaskwich, 2.

Officials: Referee Birch (Earl-ham); Umpire Gillette (Oregon); Field judge Baker (Chicago); Head linesman VVyatt (Missouri), Hawk eye ball-carriers broke into the clear twice and had to be hauled down from behind. The first counter for the Wildcats came before the game was a minute old. Captain Samsen fumbled on his 33-yard line and Russell fell on the ball for Northwestern. Russell, Rentner and Moore pegged away to the eight-yard line, where the Hawk-eyes held for three attempts but succumbed before Russell's final drive. From then on until the fourth quarter the game was on virtually even terms except for the advantage which the great punting of Ollie Olson and George Potter gave the Wildcats.

The Purple offense began to unlim-ber as the third period neared its close with Rentner breaking loose for his wide sweeping dashes. The second touchdown drive started on the Iowa 39-yard line. Rentner and Moore advanced the ball to the 23-yard line as the quarter ended. Then at the start of the final quarter a pass to Rentner brought the touchdown. A 70 yard punt by Olson paved the way for the final score.

The ball rolled to the Iowa 17 yard line. Mof-f itt managed a good return but after another exchange, Kri2's punt went out of bounds on Iowa's 30-yard line. Olson got through center for six yards and Lewis, sub quarterback, carried the ball to the 11-yard mark. Rentner -circled end for 10 more and Olson bowed In the Hawk center for the touchdown. Northwestern Iowa final wall of blue.

As a dramatic finishing touch Wood, on the last play of the game, attempted a long pass only to be smothered by tack-lers on his one-yard line for an 18-yard loss as he failed even to get the ball out of his hands. In this spectacular fashion Booth and Yale ended Harvard's three-year winning streak and at the same time handed the gallant Crimson forces their first setback of the 1931 season. The defeat cost Harvard a golden chance to capture eastern championship honors for the first time since 1913. Yale's first victory since 1927 was not accomplished without a struggle that found two closely matched lines battling each other to a standstill throughout most of the game. The Ells were the stronger, more resourceful and aggressive array at the finish, as Harvard's regulars wilted under the strain to some extent, but both teams missed fine chances to push over a touchdown.

Harvard missed its first and best opportunity in the very first minute of the game, after Jack Crick-ard, taking a lateral toss from Barry Wood on the klckoff, had galloped 77 yards to Yale's eight-yard line in the most spectacular individual play of the entire contest. Yale's stalwart forwards blocked this ihreat and the Elis took the ball on downs on their four-yard line as Wood's short pass to Crickard, on fourth down, was grounded just short of the goal line. Thereafter Harvard was inside Yale's 35-yard line only twice. Wood failed to connect with a single long pass, His most effective gestures were two surprise "place-kicks" from punt formation, with Crickard holding the ball. Each time, with the Crimson well in its own territory, this maneuver caught the Elis napping and pushed them back about 65 yards.

Yale, on the other hand, three times pounded inside Harvard's 10-yard line before Booth finally cashed in on his last opportunity. ine urimson 44 yara line. For most of the came Alble Booth had been bottled up, harassed and turned back as he snngrht tn shnkn off the jinx that has pursued him ever since tan, rangy wood stepped into the Harvard leader ship.

Dickinson Rating Places Northwestern at Top of Big Ten CHAMPAIGN, 111., Nov.

21. (JP) Disregarding next Saturday's charity games, which he said were "not of the regular schedule on which coaches base their plans for the season," Prof. Frank G. Dickinson, of the University of Illinois, originator of the football scoring system which bears his name, today revealed his findings. Professor Dickinson said he would announce a net standing next week which will include the charity games, but offers today's standing as final: Northwestern, with five victories over Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and Iowa compiled 24 points; with Ohio, which tied with Michigan with four victories and one defeat, second with 23, and Michigan third with 21.

The standing ANN ARBOR, Nov. 21. (JP A reformed end who in his new position as a fullback scampered 67 yards for a touchdown and an inspired line that stood firm under the pounding of Jack Manders, plunging fullback, today gave Michigan a 6 to 0 victory over Minnesota. Bill Hewitt, a good end transformed into a great fullback by Coach Harry Kipke, scored the lone touchdown in a game in which 45,000 spectators saw the vaunted drive of the Minnesota team reduced to a defensive stand throughout much of the play. Hewitt scored early in the first period, cutting through tackle, shaking off four Gophers, and dashing 57 yards to the goal line.

He successfully stiff-armed the Minnesota safety-man who dove at him just as he reached the goal. Petos-key's attempt at a placekick was low. While 'the Michigan driving attack threatened a score at every play, Minnesota's best chance came in the second period, when their famous forward-lateral pass, with Captain Clarence Munn on the receiving end, gave them a first down on Michigan's 27 yard line. The ball was advanced six yards more before Heston Intercepted Somers' pass to stop the Gopher thrust. In a last desperate attempt to score the Gophers opened a wild passing attack, and one of their aerial heaves was intercepted by Ivan Williamson, Michigan end, who was run out of bounds on the Minnesota seven yard line.

Captain Hudson carried the ball to the four yard line, but the game ended before another play could be run.

It Does Not Take a Lot of Monev To Buy A Good Gift at JENKINS' See the Hundreds of Suggestions We Are Offering 1 5 27 More Shopping Davs Till Christmas ji They dashed and passed their way to one touchdown in four minutes, rushed over another one to come within a point of tying the battle and then triumphed as the frenzied crowd of 52,000 spectators, treated to one of the greatest struggles in the lore of football, watched Johnny Baker, Trojan left guard, arch a per fpet placement kick through the up rights. Baker's kick, coming with but one minute of play remaining, was an ironic touch for old Notre Dame, which has witnessed Its fighting army march on through 25 victories in 26 starts.

The kick beat Notre" Dame as the "fighting Irish" had three times defeated the Trojans. More ironical was it that the kick enabled the Trojans to bo the first and the last to defeat Notre Dame, as it was the same invader from the west who conquered Notre Dame's football army way back in 1928. If ever a football team deserved to win it was Coach Howard Jones and his cardinal and gold-shirted giants from the west today. They rocked the Notre Dame citadel recklessly and consistently. Three times they threatened before success came.

In the first period they smashed their way to Notre Dame's three-yard lino only to lose their precious chance for the first score on Jimmy Musick's fumble. Two minutes later they rammed to the enemy 11-yard line only to be stopped by inches, and once again, in the third period, they found themselves beaten back with 10 yards to go. But what looked like the saddest break of all came after they had scored their first touchdown when Baker's kick for the extra point was blocked. But they couldn't be denied after that. The battle was all Southern Cali-fonia in the first period as they made their first two threats, but Notre Dame came back with a rush in the second.

Getting the ball on its own 45-yard line after Schwartz's boots had gained a wide advantage, Notre Dame opened a 55-yard march for the first touchdown of the game Schwartz ripped the first big hole by flipping a long pass to "Chuck" Jaskwich, good for 09 yards and plac ing the ball on the Trojan 16-yard lihe. Schwartz and Banas carried it with line drives to the one-yard where Banas hurdled center for the score. Jaskwich's kick for tho extra point was good and Notre Dame led, 7 to 0, as the first half ended. As the "fighting Irish" took the field for the third period the Trojan hopes fell to the lowest depths of the game. Starting on their own 37-yard line, the men of Notre Dame arrlcd the ball over for a touchdown on exactly four plays.

Schwartz again started the parade by tossing a lateral to Ray Bran-cheau, who escaped to the Trojan 46-yard stripe. Schwartz circled his right end for seven more to the 39-yard line and then tossed a wide lateral pass to Banas, who made a pretty catch, running and stumbling to the three-yard mark. Schwartz then grabbed the ball and sliced over his right tackle for the touchdown. There wasn't anyone among the huge throng that granted the Trojans even a ghost of a show with that disadvantage staring them in the face. But they didn't know the Trojans.

Getting the ball on Notre Dame's 48-yard line, the Trojans, Or-ville Mohler and Gus Shaver, passed and smashed to tho Notre Dame 15-yard line as the third period ended. It was at this point that Ray Sparling, the Trojan's great end, stepped into the breech. Taking a lateral pass on a perfect end-around play, he racrd to the one-yard line after which Shaver easily bounced through his right tackle to score. But the hopes immediately faded as big Joe Kurth broke through to block Baker's try for the precious extra point. But after that the game assumed a Notre Dame rout.

On the break of an illegal interference with a pass receiver, the Trojans got the ball on Notre Dame's 24-yard line and car ried it over on five plays, Shaver making a beautiful dash around his left end for the 10 yards on a wide lateral pass from Mohler. This time Baker made the extra point. Great offensive play by Sparling and Shaver, who worked a pass for mation that netted 40 yards, gave the Trojans their last chance. Held by the great Notre Dame wall. Baker then slipped back to the 24-yard line and place kicked the big boot that ended the battle.

Mohler held the ball. As the game ended Schwartz tried a desperate pass, but Eugene Clark, reserve Trojan half back, stepped in to intercept the ball on Notre Dame's 38-yard line just as the final gun was fired. Thus the last were first. The Trojans had come back after their unmerciful 27 to 0 licking of a year ago to accomplish what no other team had done in almost three years. The greatest crowd to witness a game in the stadium that the immortal Knute Rockne built gave them a thunderous ovation.

IOWA CITY, Ia Nov. 21. () Breaking down a stubborn but fast tiring Iowa defense in the final period, Northwestern's great football team battered its way to another Western conference victory here today by a 19-0 score.

Coach Dick Hanley was forced to keep his first team in the battle until the final minutes before the Wildcats' triumph was assured. Iowa put in the field a great defensive combination that smothered attempts of Pug -Rentner, star halfback, until the final perlad.

The Scarlet held the lead until the middle of the third period, when Wheaton led a march to a touchdown but missed the kick for point. Wheaton's pass to Bradley scored the last touchdown in the middle of the fourth period, Wheaton, Hammond and Leahy made the best showing of DePauw, while Swartout and Engel were the best ground gainers for the Scarlet.

ZUPPKE'STEAM IS ROUTED BY OHMUO TO 0 Cramer and Carroll Run Wild as Hlinois Suffers Worst Defeat OHIO STADIUM, COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 21. (IP) Scarlet and gray clad football players from Ohio State ambled up and down touch down street here this afternoon and as a result the University of Illinois eleven was handed the worst licking it ever received from an Ohio team. The final score was 40 to 0. It was a three fold victory for the Buckeyes.

It marked the first time Illinois had ever been beaten in the Ohio horse shoe and the first time since 1917 that it has been subdued on Ohio soil. Also it was the first time Ohio ever defeated Illinois and Michigan in the same season. Not only was this the worst defeat ever handed the Illini by Ohio but the worst given Illinois by any team in the 20 years that Bob Zuppke has guided the destiny of football at that institution. Today's victory was a personal triumph for two Buckeye players, Carl Cramer and Bill Carroll. These two players took the crowd to its feet four times during the game with sensational runs for touchdowns, with long run honors of the day going to Carroll when he raced 92 yards to return a kick off for a marker.

During the fourth period the blond speedster broke loose again and raced 70 yards after intercepting a forward pass. Cramer crossed up the whole Illinois team in the first period when he started to run from punt formation and went 54 yards for the first touchdown of the game. Later in the game he dashed 45 yards and following the next play went 25 more for another touchdown. But Ohio's backficld was not the whole show of the day. The forward wall threw off everything the Illini had to offer and came back for more.

In the first period, through Gilberry's accurate passing, Illinois reached Ohio's seven yard line. On the first play Snavcly went through for six but that ended the advance. Oilio repulsed all further efforts. Again in the second period Illinois advanced to the eight yard marker. One play at the line proved fruitless and Berry's pass was grounded back of the goal line, spoiling Illinois' second and last chance to push across a marker.
