SEISMOGRAPH FAILS. TO REGISTER JAR Absence of Blasting Operations Add to Mystery No Serious Damage by Strange Occurrence. Cause of the earth tremors which rocked houses in all sections of Hartford county yesterday morning remained a puzzle to geologists throughout the state last' night. Shortly after o'clock yesterday morning a terriffic Jolt th-at made downtown office buildings and many houses in Hartford tremble, jarred the city. A crash such as that of two immense trucks, or the concussion of a distant explosion, accompanied the tremor.

From as far south as Mooduj to Windsor and to Andover the shock was felt. Some thought It was an explosion, while others, dashing to the street to find the cause, believed that a hurricane or some gigantic thing had smashed against their homes. Varied Explanations. Louis V. Ripley of Glastonbury, author and noted geogologlst, felt th eliock at hs home and declared that it was iti the nature of an explosion.

Professor William North Rice ot Wesleyan University, while he said he did r.ot experience the jar personally, declared that it sounded to "Mm to have been slight earthquake such as might occur at any time in this vicinity. Instruments Fordh-am University, at Xew YorH city, where the seismograph is supposed to 'register all such tremors, showed no sign of an earthquake In this vicinity. Professor John F. O'Con. (or, of Fordham, declared last night "Moodun Xoi.rn'' ABeld! That the "Moodus noises," eerie in their queer rumblings at infrequent intervals during the last century, have spread over a urea to include Hartford and towns farther north.

Is one version of the shocks felt yesterday morning. Geo logists of the state did not agree that an earthquake could have been the sole cause of the disturbances. Professor William North Rice, it Wcs-ley'an University, when first interviewed, declaied that he understood that there had been an explosion. Later, when Engineer F. K.

Clark, in charge of the Stanley Works project of blowing up an old dam in the Farming-ton River, near Windsor, said that no dynamiting had been done during the day, Professor Xorth gave a detailed explanation of the possible- causes of an earthquake in this section. Strains in the rock formation under the area which was affected by the temblor miht cause frequent earthquakes of varying severity, he said. "Ail all i the coast of North America, fiom Newfoundland to. the Carolina, slight earthquakes shocks are taking place at frequent intervals" he declared. "This Is due to the slight strains in the rock formation, mostly quite well-settled by now, as this Is one of the oldest land areas on this hemisphere.

Severe earthquakes in this section of the Atlantic coast have never occurred, although there i3 always a possibility they may. Scientist's, as well as others, cannot tell' what is the true formation of the strata mil's der-p in the earth," he explained. The "Moodus noises" Professor Rice described as "little earthquakes" which might occur every few days and then, again, might not be te't for months or even years. Small earthquakes are often local, he said. Explosion Snys Itlpley.

An explosion, rather than an earthquake, was the version given by Iouis W. Ripley of Glastonbury, of the disturbance, he said that he was (Concluded on I'ncf TODAY'S "COURANT." Consists of SO pages in 8 part3 as follows: r-nrt 12 rngm. General, state and city news. Part II Page. Financial.

A colorful throng of 78.000 in the great amphitheater watched the men of Old Nassau spring possibly the greatest upset of a season of reversals and capture the "Big Three'' championship for the first time since Coming on top of the smashing 30-0 victory over Harvard a ween ago, today's astonishing performance brings Princeton even greater gloiy than its "team of destiny" of three years ago.

lllue Torn to Shred. Four times the Tigers flung their way across the last white line of Yale, with the Blue's vaunted lint torn to 3hreds before a slashing drive that knew no obstacles in its mighty march. Yale scored twice herself, but had no punch to match that of the Tiger and. in the final was outclassed, beaten at her own game. Twenty thousand Prlncetonians poured down into the field as the filial whistle blew to stage a wild celebration, snake-dancing in a hilarious demonstration of triumph anil tearing down Yale' goui posts witii a mighty swoop.

They cheered the Tiger team as it had seldom been cheered before and foremost among those they honored was Jake Slagle. 163-pound meteor who shot from scrimmage In the second period to elude the entire Yale team and race eighty-two yards for the first touchdown of the game and thereafter was the dominating factor in the Princeton attack. la Hero. Slaglo waa the hero of the Tiger triumph, but he also shared the main laurels of a scintillating afternoon with Joe Prendergast, the "masked marvel" batterlni4-ram, who plunged and swirled his way across for touchdowns on each of the two oc-casionj he was put in to apply the finishing punch, and also with Tom Oignan, scorer of the fourth Tiger touchdown, whose mighty toe also was a his factor In the game. Xline and Allen Do Well.

Yale had no satellites to offset th thrusta of this trio, but in Kline atvi Allen the Ells had two men who stood out In the desperate fight to stem the whirling tide of Orange and Black-clad me i. It was Kline who took over Yale's first touchdown and who, with a pass, paved the way for Allen to take the last one over in the final period after two playe that covered eighty-five yards. Hut, except for two spurts, the Yale team wh'ch had been heralded as one her mightiest, a front-rank contender for Eastern title honors, went down, before the fiery play of its opponents.

There was n-o comparison between the backfieida advancing the ball, the Prlncetonians coming out of their huddle to register sustained progress, of seventy yards on one occasion, sl.xty-lve on another and 45 twice. The huddle signa' bothered Yale, and after the first two plays the Blue linemen stationed themselves fully two yards frun the ball before plunging into the defense.

Overhead Frineeton was supreme also, with four completed forward passes that had to do with the scor-ng against two for Yale. One of Yale's was a throw from a place kick' lodged in the arms of Kline and was downed less than one yard from thy Princeton posts, from where it was taken over a moment later. The second touchdown. Princeton had four failures In the air and Yale Stiitiile Favor Princeton. The power of the Princeton attack Is shown in the statistics, seventeen first down for the Tiger ana nine for Yale.
