VIC RADZEVITCH. RED O'NEIL. Under Dogs Rise To Make Omelet Of Grid Scramble Day of Sweet Revenge Slakes Complicated Situation More Complicated Harvard Win Over Green Is Vastly Gratifying to Crimson Supporters BY IXSUE A. YOING. Less than 1.000 persons, braving a cold and pouring rain, stood in the Vslodrome yesterday and saw the Hart- ford Blues gain their first National Leajue victory in a sensational struggle with the Brooklyn Lions.

16 to 6-1-or most of the contest the Blues were Daniels and had the Lions licking their hands. There were many thrills, the first of hich was a touchdown in the second period, lor which followers of the team nave waited lor several weeks. Harry (Hite) Brian, tall, lanky halfback from Urove City, newest of the new men obtained by the Hartford team, was the player who bore this ball across the last line. Chuck Corgan, formerly of the Uni- verslty of Kansas, had attempted a field goal earlier in the session but the wet ball had not lifted two feet oti the ground. After an exchange of punt, and many were exchanged during the battle, the Blues found themselves in possession of the oval 27 yards from the Lions" goal.

Louis Smythe, tall and brawny Texan, dashed to the risht and hurled a short pass to Brian, who had 20 yards between htm and the posts when he set forth for the score. Grasping the ball, the lanky one slipped off two defensive backs and headed straight for Matt Brennan. the safety man. As Brennan dove he crashed Into the hurtling form of Giattan O'Connell. who had taken up the interference, and Brian tore on to the touchdown with Hartford fans giving vent to their first real cheer.

Jack Perrln kicked the extra point, liagby Intercepts Pass. All seemed lost in the next period. 1 however, lot Herman Bagby, the University of Arkansas flash, intercepted a Smythe pass on his own five-yard murk. Just as it was- falling into the arms of O'Connell, and ran 95 yards for a Lion touchdown with only Smythe in pursuit. The quickness of i the Interception gave Bagby a long lead and the Hartford fullback had no chance to catch him.

A fumble pre- vented Brooklyn from kicking the oal and the Blues retained the lead. 7 to 6. In the fourth period the Blues again were In the shadow of the posts and Vic Radzevitch was rushed in to kick a field goal. His effort was high and straight from the 20-yard mark, count- lug three points. Brooklyn apparently was a beaten team but continued a desperate light.

Attacking from their own 45-yard mark, the Lions called upon Rex Thomas to kick. Bill Stephens' pass was low and the ball slipped through Thomas' flnsrers as the Blue Line BY WILLIAM i. LEE. In the short space oetween one Saturday afternoon and the next Saturday afternoon Yale has fallen from jojnt ownership of the highest estate In eastern football to a position in which Its outlook for the "Big Three" title Is by no stretch of tas Imagination anything to bring about utter aer-enlty In the Blue camp; Brown went to the Bowl Baturday and accomplished several things. What Is most Important ta Brown men, and to certain Yale men at that.

Is the Bruin's 7 to 0 victory, the first Brown victor; over Yale In football alnce 1916. Second String Weak. What Is much more important to the-Yale coaches Is that Brown showed them that Yale, without Its regulars In the tine, is not the magnificent football team it is with every last one of the first string men on his Job. Yale, without Flshwick, Vaitdergrlft, Richards. Wortham and Flaherty Is team so full of holes than it might as well have the freshman line on th gridiron.

Ryan, one of the men who proved capable substitute in the Dartmouth game, was not fit for duty against Brown. Flshwick, one of the shining lights against the Green, was also on the bench when the Brown Bear came into the Bowl to cuff the Bulldog about for four full periods. Elis Handicapped. That left Yale with exactly five sec-onu and third string men playing the line against Brown. When one considers that a line in Its entirelty contains only seven men, a fair Idea of what the Elis were up against Is evident.

That shaky Blue forward wall wm called upon to face a set of fighting, low charging Brown linemen that would have put the line Yale could muster to the acid test. Yale may win football games this season if it can put Its first choice eleven on the field. With those men sitting on the bench nursing Injuries the odds will be all Jn favor of Army. Princeton and Harvard. Left Side Strong.

Scott. Quarrler and Sturham, the men who make up the left side of the Yale line, were like so much reinforced concrete to the smashing attack that Brown uncovered. Early In the game Roy Randall. Brown quarterback, learned that the Yale left side was no place at which to direct his fire. On the same score he learned during the first period that Charles-worth.

Webster and Crlle were as soft as their mates on the other side of the center were firm. Through that palpably weak right slda Randall drove his men more than half the length of the field for the Brown touchdown that wss enough to Storrs. Oct. 24. (Special.) Connecticut Aggies meet New Hampshire at Manchester.

N. H. next Saturday in a game that should go a long way towards clarifying the atmosphere as regards thextrength and standing of the New England Conference elevens, made up of all the New England State Colleges with the exception of Vermont. Maine, on the basis of Its record to date shipes up as the strongest eleven in the Conference, with either New Hampshire or Connecticut looking next best. Next Saturday's game at Manchester should settle the issue, though upsets in Conference games later in the season would alter the situation for Maine has yet to meet New Hampshire and Connecticut has yet to play Rhode Island.

'New Hampshire hSs a preponderance of veteran material, and the Nutmeg-ger's eleven is greatly handicapped by a lack of experienced backfleld reserves. New Hampshire has teen slow getting under way this season, and unless Coach Cowell's men show an improvement over the form displayed to date. Connecticut's chances should be considerably enhanced. Against Trinity at Storrs Saturday, the Nutmeg attack was functioning through the air and In The Aggie squad came through the contest In exce.lent condition, and Coach Dol expects to put a team of full strength on we field against New Hampshire. Work for the Agglar will get under way In earnest tomorrow, and with the New Hampshire game regarded as one of the real objectives on the Connecticut schedule.

Coach Dole will drive his men hard. Drill this week will be devoted to correcting flaws In the Ag- gie running attack and overhead game. Defensive play, especMlly in the secondary, will receive conslde'able attention.

2. (Special) Frankford's loyal grid rooters received a drenching Saturday, but It was worth while. Their noble moleskin warriors added the scalp of another national league foe to their list In a drizzling rain that made a quagmire of the stadium. Canton sent Its representatives here to halt the match of the Yellowjackets. But like all preceding toes the Ohlans failed and were on the short end of a 17-0 verdict when the referee's whistle closed the game.

Thus iylctory numbered six In the league bookings and number seven for the season's record was chalked on the Frankford blackboard, which shows nary a defeat on the loss side.

John New York. Oct. 24. (Associated Press.) An already scrambled situation In the East was made into a football omelet as a result of Saturday's play. Elevens regarded as under rose la their might and dealt dath dealing blows to oppressors of years, and other teams made what had been long shot contests close enough to hold the handlcappers to ridlcuie.

Reu'nge For llrown. It was a day of sweet revenge as colleges cuffed around for many years did an about face to do some cuffing on their own hook. A brown bear that walked like a man at New Haven projected the Bruins into the front row of the football picture with a victory over Yale, the first Brown triumph in ten years. Not so significant from a standpoint of mythical championships but vastly gratifying to Harvard supporters, encouraged by the enthusiasm of a charging Crimson line, was the defeat administered to Dartmouth at Cambridge. Harvard had been on the short end of green scores for three consecutive seasons.

Pennsylvania, taking no crushed Williams before giving 1U aces a vacation, and continued a formidable cantender for eastern suprem- i acy. Lafayette and Washington and Jefferson, who will meet Saturday, had comparatively victories, as did Holy Cross. West Virginia barely nosed out West VlrginU Wesleyan. Army Brea'lie Fabler. The Army took things easy In defeating Boston University, in preparation for an anticipated crucial game with Yale Saturday.

A portion of thp crisis was removed by the rebuff for the blue yesterday. New York University remained in the undefeated class and made up lost time and ground by routing Rutgers, after a weary wait of 15 years. Boston College In crushing St. Louis University kept the M.siourl men away from Its uncrossed goal line and preserved Intact Its now unique record of a team wl'h a flawless background. Princeton was forced to accept a one point vlrtory over Lehigh and the Navy scored an eleventh hour decision at tlie expense of Colgate.

Carnegie Tech was another successful applicant for goods In the revenge market. The Skiho victory was reeis-crert In spite of the fact that Pittsburgh was an odds-on choice. Syracuse left a hospital corps behind when the. Orange went to Pern state but there were enough able boiled athletes left to got the verdict. Amherst, with Wesleyan decisively rioleated, eucouraeed Its supporters to believe that another "Little Three" championship will be the season's reward for expended effort Cornell took the day Crriit (inme xpected.

Thomas turned and dtive for the ball but It shot from under hira toward his goal and O'Neil, plunging along, snatched it up and ran for the final score with two mates guarding against tacklers. This touchdowu by the former captain of the Connecticut Aggies climaxed an.

excellent afternoon's performance. Throughout the game he ripped through the Lions forwards and dropped ball carriers and his passing from center was perfect. In fact the Blues very seldom mlscued in handling the There are some hard games to come, hut the situation has taken on a far different appearance fforu that of last' week, when the Blues were under the i heap with four defeats. The manage-i ment had promised changes that would bring victory and it kept its word, showing a backfleld that will give plenty of trouble to any team in the circuit. Praise I'rom Hcrrymun.

New York, Oct. 24. (Associated Press.) William T. Tilden, former national iluglei champion, will re turn to the scene or his former tri umphs to compete In the Wimbledon and French hard court tennis cham pionships In 1927, the American Lawn Tennis Magazine announces In a current Issue. The trip will mark Tllden's third Invasion of Europe and his first since 1930 and 1321, when he won the world singles title at Wimbledon.

He will sail for France late In April. Maine Has Clean Slate, Nutmeg Aggies Second Connecticut Has Met but One Defeat Rhode Island Trails If the New England Conference by any chance had the power to award a championship, or by any means other than that of comparative scores to select the best team among its members, that honor today would belong to the University of Maine. The Pine Tree state representatives have a clean slate, having won all five games played. And if those who like to Juggle with comparative scores went on down the line they would find the Conn. Aggies securely resting in second place.

The very promising, big squad which Doily Dole has at Storrs thla year has met defeat In but one of Us four games ana tnai, at the hands, bodies and leet oi Maine. Conn. Is taking much satisfaction In Its victory over Trinity by the largest margin in tne nmiory of the series be tween the institutions. But this vie tory is not leading the Aggies to pleasant victory dreams with the New Hampshire game ahead. New Hampshire, usually one of the strongest elevens In the New England group, Is not up to Its standard this year, having won two games and lost as many, ine uranite atate team was trimmed 2 to 14 by Springfield Sa urday lacking a real scoring punch Riinougn uoweils eleven had more power than at any other time this season.

Mass. Aggies furnished one of the upsets of the season by defeating Worcester Tech. Many had believed the Bay State Aggies, with the "greenest" team It has had In years would not win a game this season. Rhode Island, another member of the con ference, is playing consistent football, having yet to win a game.

24. (Associated in the curtain of rain and shadows as Eddie Tryon. Colgate flash of other seasons, made the single sensational play that gave Grange's Yankees a 6 to 0 victory over Wilson's Wildcats In the first clash of the American League rivals here. For three full periods the two elevens slithered about the rain-soaked gridiron of the Yankee Stadium while 15,000 spectators waited patiently for either or both to break away for the expected thrills. Tryon, quiet mate of Grange, seemed overshadowed by the company he was keeping.

But Wilson was tangled In the muddy footing and the Wildcats were clawing the famous redhead down before he could get under way. Early in tho fourth period, Eddie took- the ball on his 20 yard line and broke through center with the lope that made him famous throughout the East last season. The Wildcat defense hemmed him in near the sideline, where, one by one, they "took their shot. and sprawled In the mud as tryon. stride unbroken, slipped clear and away for the remainder of the 80 yards to the goal line and the only score of the game.

Poor Mc-Gunigle va hammered to the surface of the Bowl time after time as the Brown forwards knocked the Inter-rersrs golley west.

Bruins Hurry Tasses. Tad Jones knew that the flock of fleet backs he had at his command were uoelets before th; smashing defense that Brown has throwing up to guard the first period touchdown. The Incoming swarm of fighting Bruins hurried every pass and every Yale kick, li enabled an alert and lightning fast Brown secondary to cover every Eli eligible on the forward pass plays. At least a half dozen of Mc-Gunlle's punts missed being blocked by the distance that separates one's little finger from the thumb. Yale Is probably better fixed for backs than any other college in the East.

This brings out the questions, that have been on the tongue of hundreds of followers of the Blue who have sat in the Bowl and watched the Elis In four games. The questions are these: "What the reason for Yale's backfleld attack being loaded on the shoulders of on man? Why is It that in the Dartmouth game Larry Noble did all th' kicking, a good deal of the passim and carried the ball four times to an other back one? Why Is it that Me Gunlgle shouldered fie very same bur den when he subbed for Noble agalns Brown? Why Is It that Phil Bunne) carried the ball not more than twio against Dartmouth and exactly one against Brown? Why Is It that Kilns one of the best ground gaining back. Yale had last season, was not ones called upon to carry the ball against Brown? Substantial Basis. Believe tt or not, those questions have substantial basis. It Is quite true that Bunnell carried the ball only once against Brown, that Kline did not once take up the burden of carting the pigskin and, that McGunigle took the ball on virtually every play except In those Instances when Yale needed not more than two yards for a first down, at which time Foote was hammered Into th line.

When Ordway replaced McOunlgle In the last five minutes of the Brown game it was he who carried th ball on every play that Yale had wit which to try Its running attack, Thai evidently means that thia one man ball carting offense a part of th Tad Jones system. Just why ona maa. should bear the brunt of the offensx Is hard to understand when It la remembered that Yale haa at lea twelve backs who have shown at least flashes of ability.

Whenever anything happened to this sorry baseball aggregation It was. judging by reports In the Boston newspapers. Bob Quinn, the president, who was responsible. Fohl was rarely mentioned except In connection with some matter of minor Importance.

He was manager In name, but In name only, as far as anybody could see, Quinn having his finger In all pies. On the other hand, Dave Bancroft has been the real manager of the BriKton Braves, the Hub's National League club, having a free hand, and he is beginning to get results. Bancroft's men have made a better showing than Fohl's and the difference Is due. in no small degree, to the fact that one man has been the manager and the othei has not.

Luck appeared to have deserted the team early in the contest when Chuck Corgan, new quarterback and captain, was forced out with a damaged knee. Just previous to the injury he had captured a 20-yard pnss from Symthe, which put the Blues in the running. But with the departure of Corgan there came into the struggle another iiswcomer, Jack who played at Chicago University but whose ability to handle a National League contest had not been tested.

Enid Thomas, the little, dark- ccmDlexloned lad from Pennsylvania. was a terror to tne opposition an both as a ball carrier and as a defensive back, while Smythe cut the tackles for many yards, passed exceptionally well with a wet ball and played an immense game as safety man after Corean had left the lineup.
