Crimson (icU Lead. Thirty thousand witnessed the game which was entirely Harvard for the first two quarters. The Crimson showed up with a much stronger and better rounded out attack than anything that was shown against Geneva a week ago. The Worcester team seemed at sea and lost one chance to score when a forward pass, made on Har vard 20 yard line was Intercepted.

This slip up came early In the second quarter and when Harvard was only seven points abend and Holy Cross hud made steady gains for nearly 60 yards.

"Bo" MacMlllan's conquerors of Harvard, the Geneva team, today won an overwhelming victory In its first. home game of the season by defeating the Duquesne University team ot Pittsburgh 56 to 0.

The former Kentucky colonel, employing the same tactics as at Cambridge last week, varied his attack from an aerial barrage to shifting runs and when the score had attained a large total, sent In his second string men. Flemilken, who starred In the Harvard game, was the keymsn In the Geneva attack sgaln today New York, Oct, fl. (Associated Press.) Jubilant Cardinal players made the welkin ring In their clubhouse after today's game had returned the St. Louis Cluo the winner and extended the World Series to Its full seven games. "They can't beat us now," declared the National Leaguers.

"We came from behind and we'll win tomorrow." Rogers Horn6by, manager of the National League champions, Joined In the enthusiasm of his men although he managed to control his emotion. He was confident, however, when he said: "Alexander stopped them and won. Just as I said he would. Alex has left a mark for the next generation to aim at, with his World Series games 11 years apart. Confidence in Haines.

"I was absolutely confident that Alex would beat the Yankees today and I am Just as confident that Jesse Haines will beat them again tomorrow and give us the championship. Jesse may not shut them out again but we don't figure he will have to, to win. "We hit the ball today when we had to, and we will hit again tomorrow when hits will mean even more than they did today." The Yankees took thhir defeat philosophically. They were frankly disappointed for they had expected to end the series today but they had not lost courage and declared that while they will have to wait another day for their championship victory, It surely will be returned. In-and-Outers, Says Hug.

"We didn't hit," somewhat sadly remarked Manager Miller Hugglns. "The boys are playing some 'in and out' baseball In this series, but will be all right when we win tomorrow. Alexander had a better game left In his system than we thought, and he was better than our pitchers today. We have too good a club to be stopped twice In a row, when the championship hinges on one game. We will be In there tomorrow." Hugglns said 4hat he was Impressed today, as he has been In previous games, by the sterling play of his three young inflelders, who have not cracked under the strain, as it had been suggested they might.

Hornsby praised the well rounded play of Roscoe Holm, a Cardinal in today's game. He called attention to the hitting and fielding of the centerfielder, who was playing Oils second full game of the series on account of injuries to Taylor Douthit. Haines To Face Hoyt.

There, was Jlttk doubt from the etat-tfeair "the "visitor had tle tiaian'ce of power so far as weight and experience were concerned, but the grit displayed by the Massachusetts leant In stopping the thrusts of the heavy Nutmeggeis time and again left the impression with the winners that they won, that they were also forced to the limit to turn the trick. In the first period plsy was almost entirely in Bay 8ute territory but the Nutmeggers lacked the punch to make a concerted drive. Shortly after the opening of the second quarter, however, the aerial Kama iietted Connecticut a touchdown when Eddy tossed to Schofield.

New Haven, Oct. 9. A gallant squad of boys In blue today marched through Georgia with annuity. In the modern version of the hike from Atlanta to the Atlantic the part of General Sherman was played by Bruce Caldwell of Yale, a backfleld man of note but one who will gain a greater measure of recognition this season if today's showing Is an Indication of what he Intends to accomplish. Caldwell's two touchdowns and one by Tlbby Bunnell, official leader of the invasion, following a forward pass from Kline, made up Yale's margin of victory, 19 to 0, over one of the gamest teams that ever did battle In the Bowl.

Caldwell Tireless. Caldwell, It was, who cut the swath after It had' appeared for two periods that Yale would be fortunate to escape with a one-touchdown verdict over the red-Jerseyed performers from South of the Mason and DlxOn line. Entering th contest late In the first period he was called upon to carry the ball time after time, his consecutive off tackle smashes giving the Blue Its first real confidence In a rushing attack It has known this year. For three periods the big halfback bore into the tiring Georgians, going over In the third after a 20-yard winding dash through the entire team and again In the fourth from the One-foot line after Foote had failed. Caldwell had carried the oval to the shadow of the posts.

Yale faced a quartet of backfleld masters today In Captain Morton, Sherlock, Hatcher and Johnson, but the forward line of the visitors carried o-'y one or two players of 'an exceptional power. Caldwell, for the most part, selected the left side of the line for his onslaughts, bearing away from the other flank where lurked a tall, slim defender, Luckie by name. This slender but powerful tackle from Georgia smeared everything that came Into his territory. Many Passes Intercepted. The Blue eleven, which a week arjo rained successful passes over the heads of the Boston University players, found both great and little gain In the aerial department todvy.

A half dozen of the long Plue heavies were brought down by the Georgia captain, Morton. He seemed to be everywhere waiting and his efforts did not end with batting the ball away from a potential receiver; he clutched and ran. Yale also showed a wonderful defense for the pass game, the Georgia shots either being cut down or falling Into the capable arms of Bunnell, whi throughout the afternoon ran back everything. Ten minutes of the first, period gave the Blue a touchdown through a continuance of the open play that bur'ed Boston University and presaged a new policy at Yale, a policy designed to meet far better than anythlmj else the coming attack of Dartmouth, considered one of the greatest pas-iing teams in the country. For a riot of cok-r rises between Yale and the season's goal, the Brown of Providence, Green of Hanover, Orange and Black of Princeton and the Crimson of Harvard and each must be made to pale If the Blue Is to float on high.

It was perhaps In anticipation of what Is to come more than any desire to humble the plucky Georgians that Yale played at high speed todoy, using both of Its major offensives. Yale Goes Into Air. Morton of Georgia kicked of: and as usual at the start of a contest, with every man fresh, there was a grim duel uui niier an exenange of klck3 Yale found Itself with the ball on Georgia's 40-yard line. Kline slashed twice at the line to gain five yards but this was slow progress, so on the Ticxt lineup he lined Xhe ball to Noble far out on the right and was auccessful. Noble downing It 20 yards froai the posts.

From this point Noble shot to Bunnell, who struggled over the Una in the arms of three tacklers. Again at the start of the second period came that overhead offensive, with Noble' hurling the ball.
