Seven times Columbia crossed the Wesleyan goal line to win by the score of 48 to 0 in four 12-mlnut'? periods.

Williams. Hart for Russell, Mort for Gait. Smith for Allen, Russell for Hart i New Haven, Oct. 11 (Special. A hand of white-shirted University of Georgia football players who didn't know when they were licked kept on (lighting this afternoon until they lmally staggered out of the big bowl in proud possession of a cherished 18 to 14 victory over Yale.

Georgia, the Bulldogs of the South, outfought Yale, the Bulldogs of the North, in one of the most wildly exciting games this huge amphitheater of the Elis has ever known. A bewildering succession of events was touched off when Austen Downs, Georgia quarterback, ran back the opening kickoff of the game for 82 yards and a touchdown. After tills rarest and most thrilling of gridiron achievements came a succession of fumbles, badly handled punts, long runs, grinding marches, and breathless forward passes that lifted the crowd bv turn into ecstacies of joy and the depths of despair, all' ccwaing 10 wmcn siac one a sympathies were extended. Downs Outspruits Pack. That startling opening play was the tipoff on what kind of a game it was going to be.

Downs caught the ball and came back 23 yards without an inkling that he was going to slip through the entire Blue paqk. His mates mosved down the Yale defenders and in a flash Downs shot out into the open on his own 48 yard line. Right there it was plain to all with eyes to sec that Downs would never be caught. He ran straight down the field with the speed of the wind ana had a leao on ms nearest pjrsuer that not even a Charley Paddock at his best could overcome. Yfllp took tlw pnsiiinc klckolf.

and with Don McLennan bearing the brunt of the ball carrying, ground out a march of 45 yards which petered out when McLennan's fourth down forward pacs from the Georgia 22 yard line failed to click. Vincent Blocks Kick. The second quarter was hardly more than a minute old when Fay "Vincent, Yale captain, blocked a kick that Yale recovered 45 yards Irom the touchdown point. In came Booth and Taylor and Muhlfield and Beane, and a roar went up from the Yale stands. Booth picked up a yard, darted through Vincent for 10 and picked up four more at center.

Georgia was guilty of roughing little Alble and the penalty gave the Elis the ball on Georgia 15 yard line. Muhlfield and Taylor failed to gain. Taylor threw a pass over Madden's head when the Ell wingman had a clear field and then, on fourth down, Taylor went back snd threw an almoH perfect pass that Al Beane let slip from his fingers in the end zone, tossing away what was a sure touchdown. An- exchange of kicks and then Booth got the Yale eleven started. From his own.

45 yard line he threw a forward pass on which Beane mada a spectacular catch, running to the Georgia 18 yard line befdre Downs hauled him down. A Booth to Doonan lateral pass and a five yard penalty planted the ball four yards from the Georgia citadel and Booth smashed into his own right guard and wiggled across for the touchdown. Then he kicked the goal. One More Chance. There wasn't much time left but just enough to give Yale one more chance to pass up.

Taylor intercepted a pass and ran it back 18 yards to the Georgia 22 yard mark, and Booth tried to beat the clock with a 27 yard drop kick that failed. The football in the third quarter was football for nothing but the strongest hearts. Yale kicked off to Kelly. Fay Vincent hit him with a thud. The ball popped Into the aims of Herster Barries, Yale end, and Barries ran in a straight line the remaining 25 yards for a touchdown that made the ore 13 to 6.

Sullivan added the extra point for the Blue. Downs Opens I' p. Now was the time for Downs to open up. He started sending Stoinoff and Dickens into the line on straight bucks after faking a sweep. The Yale line was iooled agftin and again.

Dickens and Stoinoff carted the ball 46 yards before Stoinoff fumbled on Yale's two yard line and Crowley recovered for the Elis. Georgia came right back with a march of 52 yards, aided largely by a 15 yard Chandler to Smith forward pass and an 18 yard run by Dickens. Two plays were stopped and then Dickens crashed through the Yale front and staggered to the very goal line, where the ball popped out of his hand'. Once again Crowley covered it for Yale. Yale kicked and on fourth down Chander ran back to throw a forward pass.

He heaved It from his own 40-yard line and "Cat.ish" Smith made a grand catch of the ball on Yale's 25-yard line and out-sprinted all the Elis in a dash across the goal line. Smith missed the Heir and thp fporfl stood Yale 14. Georgia 12. That was all for the third quarter, but that was Fail on Goal Line. Yale came back at the outset cf the last quarter with a 43-yard drive that stopped abruptly when Booth's pass was intercepted on the Georgia 16-yard line.

Two plays and Chandler Jumbled. A blue Jersey covered the ball 19 yards from the Georgia goal line. Booth and Tay- (Conehii'ed on Pt 5, This Section.) 1 Inspired Minnesota Forward Wall Rises to Heights to Check Cardinal Threats Minneapolis, Oct. 11. (AP.) Inspired Gopher forwardsffig'ining with a desperation of underdogs, arose to unexpected heights to halt the brilliant offensive of Stanford's giant backs and record a scoreless tie in the first meeting cf the two teams here today.

Six times the power of Glenn S. (Pop) Warner's attack threatened to score for the western eleven, but each time Coach Fritz Crisler'3 Gopher line battled the visitors to a standstill. Once, Stanford got to the Gophers' one yard line but could go no further despite the flash and power of Phil Moffatt, Harlow Rothcrt and Harry Hlllman, aces of the Cardinal attack. Place Kick Fails. The linal desperate effort to -score was made by the Californians two minutes before the game ended.

Warner sent Rudy Rintala, kicking specialist. In for Moffatt, but despite excellent protection from Gopher interference Rintala's carefully executed place kick went wide and the Californians' last threat failed. Time after tune, Stanford took the oval steadily down the field to wibhin scoring range. Once it marched to the eight yard line oi1 to be halted by the fierce rushes of Gopher tacklers. But Stanfords mightiest effort came only four minutes before the final gun.

Moffatt opened the way with a 45 yard run after a double pass origmating with Rothert. He apparently was headed for a touchdown when Walter Hass. Minnesota safety, forced him out of bounds on the Gopher eight yard line. Hillman plunged two yards and Moffatt added three more on another line thrust. Moffatt plunged again on third down to put the ball on the one-yard line for Stanford's final chance.

Fails. Moffatt took the ball again and hurtled through the air in an effort to slide over the pack. But at least three pairs of Gophers hands grabbed him and threw him back. The 42,000 spectators went into a frenzy of cheering. Minnesota made only one serious scoring threat, penetrating deep into Stanford territory on a series of off tackle smashes and end runs soon after the start of the second half.

Stanford's defense stiffened at this critical moment, however, and for the remainder of the game, as it had been in the first half, Minnesota's efforts were concentrated on a fighting defense. A blazing sun sent the temperature on the field up above 90 degree? during the first half. Stanford Neill Bogue Hand Taylor c.

(AP.) The Dartmouth football team ran amuck here today to overwhelm Boston University, 74 to 0, before a crowd that packed Memorial Held. The fought stubbornly during the first half and held tne Indians to three touchdowns but after a rest the Green unleashed an irresistible attack and swarmed through the visitors for eight more scores, five in the third quarter and three in the final. Boston University, which now has Al Marsters, last year's Green back-field star, as an assistant coach, proved unexpectedly weak against the team that was only able to score three times against Bates last week. The Terriers did not gain a first down until late in the game. The brightest bit ot individual work was provided by Stan Yudicky, Dartmouth end, when he blocked one of Lcguern's punts, scooped up the rolling ball and ran 10 yards for a touchdown.

Ed Sutton, sub fullback, swelled the Green's score with three touchdowns. He entered the game in the fecond half, replacing John-fon, and dashed 30 yards for his first score. The other pair came from shorter line p.ungcs. Dartmouth used straight line plays during most of the game and the regular oft tackle slant eirned from five to 10 yards every try. Late the game Dartmouth attempted the! lateral pusa.

It failed the first time. but during the last period Toothakcr took a tos- trom wiiKiu and gai-'loperl oft tor a 15 yard gain. It is like that Hi-ad Coach Jackson Can-nell will use this play in the coming games with Columbia. Harvard and Yiie. The lineup: Dartmouth U.

(AP.) Harvard ended its jning up stage here today by battering a hard fighting Springfield l'ne for a touchdown each quarter and a 27 to 0 victory. The Crimson football horde, though minus five of its regulars, showed plenty of drive every minute of play. The visitors without anything resembling a running attack, waged a determined defensive battle and uncovered several minor defects that Arnold Horween wi'l have to correct before next weeks major clash with the Army The Cr mson ball carriers ripped through the Springfield forwards for 27 first downs. Harris Harvard quarterback used six running plays and did not need any more. Springfield was as weak offensive ly as it was strong defensively, mak ing but two first downs, one result ing from a 25 yard forward that Halfback Owl completed to White, his field marshal, early in the opening quarter.

The other 10 yard gain was made on Plumb's off tackle smash late in the finale The game itself was a monotonous affair.
