New Haven, Nov. 1. Yal meshed its passing and running strength for sufficient first half scoring to stand off the determined late rally of a fiery Dartmouth team this "almost perfect football afternoon, and the Elis won the thirty-first game of the old rivalry, 23 to 14. The big Blue team looked strictly hig time in running up i 17 to 0 lead in the first half, but they had to make two terrific defensive stands in the final period to keep an aroused Dartmouth attack from running them right out of the Bowl.

Golfers Sweep First Four Matches Oliver-Worsham Team Leads Rout in Ryder Cup's Opening: Test Dick Gaudino Paces Uconn Victory, 14-0 Huskies Score Twice In Final Period and Edge Coast Guard BY BOB ZAIMAN.

New London, Nov. 1. Dick Gaudino, a spunky Manchester lad, personally pulled the Univer sity of Connecticut football team up by Its bootstraps in the final period and steered the Huskies to a bitterly contested 14 to 0 vic tory over Coast Guard Academy at Jones Field today. Badly outclassed In the first half and almost hopelessly victimized by their own errors in the third period, the Huskies suddenly came to life in the last quarter, scored twice and wound "up their I long rivalry with the Cadets in grand style. Gaudino accounted for the first tally almost single- handed.

He flipped a magnif lcient 40 yard pass to End Johnny Brink on the Coast Guard 19 and then after his line buck gained only two yards, he sliced off tackle and twisted his way through the entire Const Guard secondary for 17 yards and the score. Late in the quarter, he outfoxed the Cadet quarterback by Inter- cepting a pass out of the hands of a "sleeper" and raced 30 yards to the New London team's four yard line from where big Bill Moll rammed it. over in two line smashes. Pete Barry booted both conversions. Aside from these two scoring forays and a third quarter drive that stalled on the Coast Guard 10, the Huskies were a sluggish, uncertain bunch who couldn't do much offensively against the Ca dets' six-man line.

They played a great defensive game in the second half after being pushed all over the field by their lighter and swifter rivals however, and the Cadets never had the ball in Uconn territory during the last two frames. Coast Guard made two determined bids for touchdowns in the second quarter but the Connecticut secondary, showing a vastly improved pass defense, batted down the bullet tosses of capable Sid Vaughn to halt the first assault on its own 16 and the second on its nine yard line. The Cadets played smart football designed to stop the powerful smashes of Bill Moll, Dick Tur-shen and Gaudino from the single wing formation. But Coach J. O.

Christian crossed them up after the intermission by having the Huskies work from the T-forma tion and the change opened Coast Guard's defensive setup sufficiently to bring about the victory. Mixed among their alarming number of fumbles and badly thrown passes, were some standout plays by the Huskies. Leo Tin-sky came through with some mag- nificient punting, one of his boots going out of bounds on the Coast Guard one yard line Dick Turshen and wee Fred Mohr each turned in sparkling runbacks of Coast Guard punts and Moll played a bang-up game defensively despite the fact that he was stopped cold almost every time he lugged the ball For the Cadets, Vaughn's quar- terbacking, some lightning sprints Navy Errors Enable Irish To Win, 27-0 Notre Dame Converts Intercepted Pass and Fumbles Into Scores Cleveland, Nov. 1. (AP.) Notre Dame's alert and magnificently equipped gridders turned three Navy fumbles and an intercepted pass into touchdowns today to sink the Middies, 27 to 0, before 84,070 fans, and rolled on toward the national championship with their fifth straight conquest.

The South Bend sensations scored in each of the first three periods, and only a fumble on the goal line kept them from hitting pay dirt in the final stanza with a lineup of third and fourth stringers. With quarterbacks Johnny Lu-jack and Frank Tripucka doing the tossing the Notre Dames hit the airlines for 263 yards, completing 18 to 27 attempts, two for touchdowns. Navy's oft-beaten team also was forced to the skies as its ground game was held to 112 yards, and the Middies bit off 139 yards overhead although connecting on only nine of 28 attempts. The Irish had a 17 to 10 edge in first downs, getting 11 through the air to four for Navy. Irish Go Ahead.

The payoff came early when Leon Hart of Turtle Creek, Notre Dame end, picked up halfback Bob Schwoefferman's fufnble Haverford Defeated By Wesleyan Undefeated Cardinals Win 25-15 on First Half Scoring Bursts Haverford, Nov. 1. (Spe cial.) Wesleyan's undefeated football team registered its fifth consecutive victory of the season and extended its unbeaten streak to 13 games in succession with a 25-15 triumph over Haverford College here today. The win was the 13th straight for the Cardinals who haven't met defeat since Williams turned the trick in the next to last game of the 1942 campaign. But heavier and deeper Wesleyan knew it had a fight on its hands in scoring its triumph.

The Cardinals registered all of their points in the first half 6 in the first period and 19 in the next.1 but were stopped cold after inter mission in the homecoming day game. Haverford mpanwhile could do litle on the offensive side for the first three periods, but broke loose in the final frame with 15 points within four minutes on two touchdowns and a safety to fall short of the. margin necessary for victory. Golden Opportunity. Wesleyan had a golden opportunity soon after the opening whistle when the Cardinals recovered Bot- eler's fumble on the Haverford 26.

But three passes by Harry Forbes and Charlie Medd missed fire and Frank Werner's plunge gained only a yard as the Hornets won possession. Late in the period, however, Haverford took to the air only to have it boomerang. Wesleyan gained control of the ball on Hav-erford's 43 when Forbes snatched the ball out of Chris Amussen's hands as he juggled Botelers pass. On the first play, fullback Dwyer took a lateral from Medd, burst through right tackle, cut to the left and raced 43 yards for a touchdown. Bill Nelson's drop kick for the point was wide, Dick Whiting, who hails from nearby Lower Merion, started the next touchdown drive when he in tercepted Boteler's pass on the Wesleyan 37 near the end of the first period.

On the first play of the second quarter Brooks scampered 35 yards for his first tally. Brooks Scores Again. Soon afterwards Brooks again reached pay dirt, this time on a i yara iaunt aown me ngni sidelines to climax a 31 yard ad vance Kapica took his turn at penetrating the Haverford end zone just before the half ended.

Haverford exploded with unbelievable fury in the last period for all its points but still suf fered its third setback in five starts.

Hoosiers Triumph Over Buckeyes, 7-0 Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 1. (AP.) Indiana's Hoosiers, paced by Flyer latt in the firtt period of yesterday's game at Trinity Field, and irom there on in the unde feated Hilltoppers looked like the treamlined special that they are. It was tousle-haired Johnny Cor coran, a lbO-pound wraith from Elmwood, who provided the spark which exploded the Trinity power house and blasted a winless Worcester Tech eleven, 34 to 7. For the first time this fall, Trin ity had to come from behind to triumph.

The downtrodden Worcester club struck for a touchdown in the first three minutes of play and grimly hung onto the lead as the touted Trinity machine coughed and sputtered- Then Corcoran, with his dazzling runs to the outside, furnished the speed to literally outflank the visitors. He cored the first touchdown in the second period and set up the next ne for a 14-7 lead at the half. Johnny accounted for two more in the third period and then retired from the scene as two reserves put on a display of long-distance running for another tally in the fourth quarter. Scoring Record Knapped, In registering its fifth straight onquest. Trinity failed to extend the team's unique scoring record.

The four previous games this year saw the Jesseemen take the opening kickoff and promptly march back to a touchdown. Yesterday, however. Worcester received, and Trinity was in possession of the ball on 7our different occasions before going ali the way. The undermanned Tech team, which fielded a larger band than a football squad, used only six reserves. But two of the Engineers combined their talent to give Trinity a fairly busy afternoon.

Dick Farrari, a hard, elusive runner, accounted for most of Worcester's yardage along the ground. Quarterback Bob Carlson, an exceptional punter, averaged 44 yards on 10 kicks. His long spirals consistently sailed over the head of the Trinity safety man or angled to the sidelines in such a way that they could be quickly covered. A 15-yard pass set up the Worcester touchdown on the Trinity 34. Then Howie Green knifed inside tackle, cut back toward the middle and ran right through the Trinity secondary to the end zone.

At least six Trinity men hit him in a poor exhibition of tackling, but none of them held on, and Ferrari booted the placement to make It 7-0. Heintz, Eblen Run Well. Some good running by two other Greater Hartford boys, Hal Heintz and Frank Eblen, spearheaded a Trinity drive which penetrated toi the Tech 12. But it ended there when one of Whitey Kunkiewicz's passes was completed to Bob Bo-1 land just beyond the end zone and Bill Pitkin couldn't hold another behind the goal line. Then Corcoran, who had carried twice before and was stopped at the line of scrimmage on both occasions, started to fly.

He brought a punt back 42 yards to the Tech 25 on the last "play of the initial quarter, and that was the beginning of the end. On the first playj of the second period, Kunkiewicz threw a wide lateral to Corcoran, and Johnny was given his chance to roam. The feather-footed sopho- i more streaked for the sidelines and just ran right around the Worcester secondary to score standing up. Pete Vibert, second string quarterDacK, came ana piace.ut-K.fa me iirst 01 lour extra; points. He missed on only one of his fiv conversion attempts during the afternoon.

Corcoran's sweeps continued to harass the Bay Staters, and his 34-yard sprint around end was responsible for an advance which put Trinity on the 25 half way through the second quarter. Corcoran was removed from the game at that point, and on the first play after that Heintz took a wide lateral faked a similar end sweep. But as Tech moved in en-masse to smother this expected play, Heintz crossed them up by throwing a pass which the lanky Pitkin snatched in the end zone to make it 14-7 at intermission. Trinity Strikes Quickly. Trinity went 53 yards on two quick plays for its first touchdown in the third period.

Eblen took a direct pass from center, skirted his own left end and lateraled the ball out to Boland, who was brought down on the 21 for a 32-yard gain. Then Corcoran flashed around his own right end and tumbled across the goal line just inside the red flag. Bill Powell recovered a Worcester fumble at Tech's 32 to set up the next score. A sharp jump pass from Kunkiewicz to Pitkin, with the latter making a great, juggling catch, moved the ball to the two. Corcoran slipped over guard for the touchdown.

the rest period and, besides, the Elis staved off trouble by taking the ball on downs on their 15 and three-yard lines. The game produced AO minutes of bristling, hlRh grade football between two well coached and superbly conditioned formation teams, and the 63,000 spectators were treated to a tuccession of thrilling forward pass plays on both sides that kept the pot boil- inir rlcht down to the lait minute of the hand fought contest. In the end, Dartmouth stole the show from a superior Yale team, with a little substitute back from Chicago named Edwin Wil liams nrovine himself the out standing Dartmouth ball carrier the season. Williams caugnt passes and ran the Eli ends with more blinding speed than Yale could cope with. This zipping running game was latched on to some eye filling aerial bombs dropped all over the big Bowl by Joe Sullivan, an eagled-eyed passer from Webster, Mass.

Elis Make Great Stand. Dartmouth would have had to score Its second touchdown much earlier than It did to become threat to overhaul the Elis, but when Yale stopped them cold on the fifteen yard line with eight minutes to go, that was the defensive maneuver that decided the tingling contest. This was a game in which Yale's Ferd Nadherny came into his own. It was the Bull rather than Levi Jackson who stormed the Dartmouth defenses through the first half with one of the sturdiest offensive nd defensive exhibitions seen in the Bowl-since Clint Frank graduated. Dartmouth found the way to stop Jackson almost cold, but they could scarcely impede the progress of the tremendous Nadherny.

After one exchange of kicks following the opening kickoff, Yale moved 72 yards for its first touchdown and Nadherny was the one-man armored force that paced the attack all the way down the field. After Furse had bulled through for 11 yards, he flipped a pass to Nadherny and that 192-pound terror carried 21 yards after making the catch to complete a 31-yard gainer that set up the first Yale Green Gets Bad Break.

Even so, It was another fumble by the luckless Francis O'Brien of Dartmouth, which Dick Jenkins covered for Yale on the Dartmouth 38, that touched off Yale's second scoring drive.

The fumble came one play before the end of the first period and Yale went the 38 yards on running power of Nadherny and Art Fitzgerald. Nadherny bucked across after Jackson had twice been stopped. Dartmouth was on the move a little later on in this second quarter when Nadherny jammed them up again with a one-handed Interception of a Sullivan pass around mid-field.

Nip Holy Cross Providence, R. Nov. 1. (AP.) An aroused Brown University football team, considered a one touchdown underdog before today's twenty-fourth meeting with Holy Cross, turned on the favored Crusaders today for a stirring 20- 19 victory before 18,000 chilled fans Brown Stadium. The accurate toe of Joe Condon, reserve center, assured the Brown team of triumph as he placekicked two extra points after touchdowns.

Holy Cross was in Brown territory throughout the first quarter and two plays after the teams changed sides. Bobby Sullivan scored the first Crusader touchdown by slamming between his right guard and tackle from three yards out. That was the spark that set the Brown Bears afire. Fred Kozak caught the Crusaders of Holy Cross napping when he quickkicked and the ball rolled out on the five. The same Kozak then carried a cross punt from the 35 to the Visitors 27.

Five plays later Kozak smashed across for the equalizing six point er. Condon then booted his first successful conversion to put Brown ahead 7-b. Recovering a fumble on the Brown 43, Holy Cross proceeded to take the lead six plays later, A pass intereference penalty placed the ball on the Brown three and Bobby Farrell. smacked over for the touchdown. Veto Kissell missed the try for the point as Jim Nolan had after the first Cross touchdown.

Brown came back again late in the third quarter with its second touchdown. The scoring march ate up 62 yards, an Eddie Finn pass to Don Campbell, reserve end, fashioning the score. Campbell caught the pass in the end zone after three previous Finn forwards had gone awry. Kissell put the Cross ahead again early in the final quarter when he hit the line for 53 yards and a touchdown. For this play the Crusaders reverted from the single wing to the T-formation which they used not too successfully at the start of the season.

With Kozak doing most of the carrying the Bears clawed their way from their 44 to the Cross end zone. Held three times within the five yard line Brown finally cracked through with Arn Green smashing the line. In the hush after the touchdown. Condon kicked the game winning point.

(UP.) America's brilliant Ryder Cup stars made a clean sweep of their first four matches with the British here today to take a commanding 4-0 lead in the seventh renewal of the international golf series.

Battling through torrential rains fthat inundated the Portland Golf Club course, flooded the traps and soaked the greens, the Yankee shotmakers were in command all the way after winning the first two Scotch foursome matches by lop-sided scores. The British, apparently hampered by the weather, were slaughtered in the first match when Ed (Porky) Oliver, the American fat man, teamed with National Open Champion Lew Worsham to thump Captain Henry Cotton and Arthur Lees of the British, 10 and 9. After that it was a shoo-in for the U. S. team, although two of the underdog British teams made a fight- of it in the Jater-day matches.

It was the first time in the seven international series that one team ever had swept the opening-day Scotch foursome matches. After Worsham and Oliver had the American team off on the right foot, Sammy Snead and Lloyd Mangrum followed with, a solid 6 and 5 victory over Fred Daly and Charley Ward. Captain Ben Hogan and his teammate, Jimmy Demaret, had to make a comeback to eke out a 2-up victory over Jim Adams and Max Faulkner; and Byron Nelson and Herman Barron recovered from a shaky morning round to dispose of Dai Rees and Sam King, 2 and 1. The eight singles matches will be played tomorrow over the same this time, if the weather man's predictions are right in the sunshine. Due to the condition of the course, there wasn't anything approximating sensational golf today.

There was no roll to the ball on the drives and approaches on the green stuck in the exact spot they landed. Any balls that went into traps fell into two or three feet of water and there was a penalty before the ball could be lifted out. The only match of the day to go the full 36 holes was the Hogan-Demaret battle against Faulkner and Adams. The British pair, play ing fine golf during the rainstorms in the morning, were 2-up at the end of 18 holes. However, they faded badly on the next nine and at the end of 27, the Americans were in front by the same score.

On the final nine, the British came back to even the score on the 15th, but a birdie three on the 16th Tput the Yanks one up and they also won the 18th with a par- five.

Two plays later Luiack tossed 29 yards to half back Jimmy Brennan in the end zone, and Notre Dame was out front to stay. In the second period, backed up against his own goal line by Dick Scott's 55 yard punt to the five, Lujack faked a pass and skirted end for 67 yeards, only to fumble and lose the ball when hit. Navy went for a first down, and then fullback Bill Hawkins fumbled, Guard John Frampton recovering. Two plays later Tripucka passed 31 yards to Hart for the second Irish marker.
