THE FINAL SCORE 20 TO BI.I'E FORMATIONS SOLVED IOST AT OVTSET. Hew Hat-en Men Hardly a Factor In the Game Until Closing; Pa-rlod Halfbaek Brlcklcy Again the Star. NEW HAVEN, Nov. 23. The crirrieon triumphed over the blue on Tale field today, when the Harvard eleven, taking advantage of Tale's back field errors, made two touchdowns and two field goals, and rolled up a score of 20 to 0 over their ancient football rivals.

This victory carries the football championship of the east to Cambridge. Harvard scored a touchdown, and a field goal in both the first and third periods. The first score came hej storer recovered the ball which Wheeler, the Yale quarterback, dropped on being tackled, and sprint ed nearly five yards to the goal line. Hardwlck kicked the goal. A minute later another Yale muff gave Brtckley his chance to kick the first field goal.

a mmuie oy tiynn at tne opening of the third period gave the ball to Harvard, and In the scrimmage Brlckley dashed eighteen yards for the second touchdown. This same player caught a Yale forward pas a minute Mater and ran -forty-two yards and after a few plays, booted the ball over the cross bar for the second field goal, Yale Strong at tha Finish. Yale was not a factor In the game except negatively until the final period. Then the crimson line began to yield to the battering, anu the blue-legged players, reinforced by substitutes, drove the ball by line plunges and a wing shift formation to wituin eight yards of Harvard's goal. There Yale became too conlnk-nt of its rush "is i ant--' Sr.

vri ing ability and lost the ball on downs. A few minutes lator Pumpelly. standing- on Harvard's thirty-five yard line, was prepared to attempt a field goal when the official's whistle ended the game. After finding the Yale back had a most unstable proposition in hnndlingV punts, Harvard aoopted very little et-- fort to test the strength of the line. The Harvard offense was based almost entirely in getting down the field under Felton's high spiral puntu and taking advantage of the slippery fingers of Wheeler and Flyi.n.

Had the Harvard ends been as fleet as Bonielster, who played a remarkable duwn-the-fleld game for Yale, the score might have been larger. Iu the second period, Vale dropped four Harvard punts in succession, but neither Hurdvvick nor O'Brien could recover them. On the other only one such error was adopted Jy Harvard nnd that Yale could not turn Nebraka 13 Lincoln "53 Kearney 42 Navy 39 Army gj Ame .,...23 Chicago 7 Kansas "12 Carllala '30 Wisconsin 28 Lhlgh Dickinson 0 Ohio Arkansas 13 Northwestern 6 Montana Arkansas 8anta Clara Ortgon Unl 3 Oklahoma St. Joseph Wyoming New York Vnl.

CHICAGO IN SK(0n PLACE, Made Runner I to Wisconsin by Defeating Minnesota. CHICAGO, Nov. 23. Second place honors In the "big nine" football championship race belong to the University of Chicago.

In of he fiercest and most desperately fought games on Marshall field In years, Chicago won the honors by defeating the University or Minnesota, 7 to 0. Minnesota never had a chance to score. Chicago outplayed and outklcked its foe In every period. Victory for Chicago came In the third period after the teams had struggled through two quarters with honors even. A forward pass, Norgren to Huntington, paved tbe way.

Norgren hurled the ball for a thirty yard gain, and on the next play dray shot around right end for five yards more, placing the ball on Minnesota's seventeen yard line. In a series of line plunges, Chicago advanced the ball steadily for substantial gains until within three yards of Minnesota's goal. Gray ripped through, guard for a two yard gain and then went over for a touchdown on the next play, skirting right end. Lawler booted the ball squarely between the goal pogta. Htralght football won for Chicago.

Neither team attempted more than a few trick plays. When forward passes were attempted the ball usually went wide of its mark. Niorgran and Gray played a brilliant gatne for Chicago, while McAlmon and Blerman were the most consistent ground gainers for Minnesota. In punting Norgren outrivaled Shaughnessy by a wide margin. Norgren frequently booted the ball from twenty to thirty yards further than his opponent.

Nebraska university football for the eason of 1912 came fa a close yesterday afternoon when the Cornhuskers defeated the aggressive Oklahoma Sooner by the score of 13 to 9 on the heme Held. Although Nebraska carried the ball nearly three times as far Oklahoma, still the.

brand of. foot-Kill exhibited by the Sooner was almost of the victory-bringing The referee's whistle which put an end to the game also put an end to a rally on the part of the visitor which might have given them the game. A chilling wind sweeping over the field from the northwest may have put life into the players but was decidedly uncomfortable for the several hundred spectators congregated about the field. The crowd did not near equal that of the Kansas-Nebraska gaum of last Hiituniay bill what the. spectators lacked in numbers they made up In enthusiasm.

With the exception of the Minnesota game early In the season Nebraska exhibited the best football of the. fall. And it had to, for the aggregation from the south played the best football of any aggregation that the CornhUHkers have gone against this season with the exception of Minnesota. Although outweighed nearly lifteen pounds to the man, the Sooner fought back Inch fur Inch and not a point was gained by which was not earned. Captain Frank of Nebraska, whose work during the season has been of the sensational variety, played hit lust fume of football yesterday afternoon nd he played It well.

However, It was Mulligan, Nebraska' fullback, to whom honors for the game must be given. Yard after yard was mado by that llne-plunglng Individual and It was he who scored both Nebraska touchdowns. Courtrlght for the visitors was very much In evidence during the game and all of the nine points of the visitor were scored by him. His touchdown was, the first score of the game. A prettily executed goal from placement by i 'ointrlght at the close, of the third qtarter made the total of bine points lor tho visitors.

Back to Old Game. Nebraska played consistently. Old style football was Its whole gume. Unlucky fumbles and Inability to exocute the forward pass at tha critical moments contributed to Nebraska's, low score. Once the ball was on the Sooner three yard line when 1'otter, who re-I laced Towle, attempted a forward pass, but the pass was uncompleted.

Another time Towle, with the ball on tho Oklahoma Ave yard line, was forced to resort to the same play and again it was unsuccessful. For distunce Nebraska relied almost entirely upon the plunging of llalligan and Purdv. the clover off tackle runs of Frank and the tackle around play. By their superior wemm me rorwartls crushed the plucky Oklahoma linemen while the back went 'through fur consecutive galna, liecause of their Inck of weight the Boonera relied almost entirely upon he more open game. Forward passes were worked consistently and well.

One for thirty-five yards to which Cap-ahnw, Soonet half, added ten more Sards was executed Ju.st as the Vcferce ailed time on the contest. Another for thirty-five yards, Reeds to W. Clark, carried the bull to the Nebraska ten Yard line. fri.m n-hliv 1 1, i il. I rtoma went over for its only touch-iown.

A third pass which netted the Pooncrs thirty-five yards went for naught when Courtrlght, who caught the ball, fumbled when tackled. The game was one of the cleanest of the season. All penalties were called Tor offside play and both sides mif-Tered alike. Not tho leusl rough piny of any sort was evident durlmr the game. The visitors were as plucky in defeat as they were in action and at the close of the contest they gathered In front of the bleachers and rendered the famous U-C-l'-N-t yell with a vim.

The action of the Sooner was met in kind by the Nebraska men who, not knowing Cie Oklahoma yell, gave vent to their feelings with cheers Individually and collet-lively for the whole Oklahoma team. Tam Play Throughout. The exhihit.on of play- by-both teams was devoid of stars. Frank for X' nona iiiiivit- D.rvi7itti (tiU OU off tackle plcys but his work was ro better than that of llalligan, who plunged thnug the lighter Oklahoma line for good distance. I'urdy at half, although crippled, stayed In the whole game and demonstrated the fact that he was something of a punier.

The line put up the bent exhibition o' the season and the plunge of the backs were largely responsible to the for-warda' work In opening holes. Mulligan, who started the same in Howard position at end, played good ball during the part of the game he was In action. Maslln and Howard both played good defensive games. Towle waa in quarter three periods and le- Idea advancing the ball several yards on offense he contributed the brains of Nebraska's advance. For the visitors Courtright made to advantage.

Yala Defense With Two Men. What the- score might have been bad not Homelster and Ketcham shown such speedy work in nailing Harvard backs and breaking up the crimson offense, was a matter for speculation tonight. The entire Yale defense seemed to rest on these two players, and when Bomegiter was taken out In the second period, the crimson offense nanln awpaaaliri, III, 1 1 ,1 HARD FOIGHT AMU ESiDS WITH MORE 12 TO 3.

23. MU- soitrl university's football team lot to Kansas, 12 to 3, here today in a game that was hard fought all the way. Speedy shift plays by the Kan-Bans baffled their opponents early In the game. The local team took the lead by making the only touchdown of the contest in the second quarter, and waa able to hold it despite a fierce rally by the Missourlans in the second half. Missouri made the first score early In the opening period, when Shepard sent over a perfect drop kick from tho forty-three-yard ilne.

Kansas tied this In the second period with an equally difficult Held goal by YV'eid-line. The tie setnied to nerve the Kansans, and they started a series of line plunges straight to Missouri's goal. The hammering of Stuewe, C'ool-Idge and Detwiler shattered Missouri's line and Wilson carried the ball over for a touchdown. Weldllne'a boot failed him In the kick. Weldllne made his second field goal, the last score of tho game, in the third period.

In tho lust period Missouri gave the Kansans. a scare with two successful forward passes and a smooth forty-yard end run by Knobel. Knobel repeatedly nude heavy end gains in this period, but Missouri was pushed back until Weldllne made another attempt at field goal. This failed. The Karne ended with the ball In Missouri territory.

Detail of tha Game. Hurnham kicked off for Kansas at Missouri started wlth'a rush and kept the ball in Kansas territory. An exchange of punts favored Missouri. Kttrly in the period Knobel broke through for a twenty-yard gain. Missouri lost the ball on a fumble, but gained it shortly afterward on a Kansas fumble.

With the ball on Kansas' thirty-five-yard line and three downs, Shepard dropped back and from the forty-eight-yard line booted the ball squarely over the bar for the tlrHt score of tho game. Two runs of twenty-live yards by Hteuwe and Detwiler placed the ball on Missouri's twenty-yard line, where It was when the period ended. Score, Missouri 3, Kansas 0. After two tries at thie line at the beginning of the second period, Kan-sus called Weldllne back. and he booted over a Held goal, tying the score, 'i to 3.

Kansas then devoted herself to line smashing. Terrlilc plunging by Htuewe and Detwller shattered Missouri' defense. Kansas made four straight first downs with five to go. Wilson finally took the ball over for a touchdown nround Missouri's right end. Weldllne missed the kick.

Score: Kansas 9, Missouri Kansas then opened up a lot of perplexing shifts that Missouri could not solve. The half ended with Kansas in possession of the ball ten yards from Missouri's goal. Lin Plunging by Kansas. Kansas In the third period continued Ilne plunging to the perplexity of Missouri. Karly in the period Kan-aaa advanced the ball to the ten-yard line, and then lost it on downs.

Missouri punted from behind the goal line. Kansas started another march- straight from 4he field and carried the ball within twelve yards of Missouri's goal. Kansas was penalized fifteen yarns for holding. On the next play, which waa the fourth down, Weldllne dropped back to the forty-five-yard line and booted another goal from placement. Kansas received the kickoff, but was forced to punt.

Every time Felton sent one. of his punts sky-rocketing into the air, a shiver went through the Yale stands when they saw cither of these two players start to catch the pipskin. After several brilliant runs around the Harvard ends for gains which seemed long, but proved short, Flynn was led from the field in tears to give way to a fresher man.

Yale tried two other quarterbacks In prace of Wheeler, but was finally compelled to send the light-haired player back for tbe final period. Then he distinguished himself by getting more Into the blue attack, which meant sixty yards In successive rushes, the longest consistent inarch by scrirrlniaging of either team. This Yale offense, which developed so strong In the last moment, was l-ased on the wing shift which the blue team executed with speed and precision and took the ball to within the shadow of the goal posts.

With line bucks by lfalllgan and Towle, and a 36-yard run by Frank around right end, the ball wa worked dangeroualy close to Oklahoma's goal line, and Malllgan on a line buck carried It over.

Potter kicked goal and the score then stood 13 to 6. llalligan was used by- the Cornhuskers for line plunges, making steady gains. Nebraska's weight was showing up strong and the ball was worked steadily toward the Oklahoma goal. It was Nebraska's ball on he Oklahoma 7 yard line when a mistake proved disaatroua to the Corn-hiiKkers. Potter essayed a forward pass wheiv line plungea looked excellent for another touchdown, and the forward pasa failed.

Oklahoma then carried the ball to the Nebraska 2E-yard line, using the forward pass with good effect. From the 25 yard line Courtrlght kicked ft field goal, making the score III to 9. In the last period Nebraska had the belter of It at the start, but the Oklahoma showed an undaunted rplrlt and cams back strong, Nebraska tried a few line plunges by llalligan and Howard, making good gains, and Towle on an end run traveled 20 ynrda.
