Harvard's tricky football machine i generated terrific overhead power while overwhelming Brown's inex-! perienced Bruins.

34-7. today before 15.000 at the stadium. The Crimson also made great progress overland when it attempted that sort of traveling but was unable to launch a decisive punch inside its rival's 10-yard line. Three of the victors' five touchdowns were the results of long air journeys and the last two, made during the fin3l period, were the rewards for heads-up running by backfield replacements and an enemy pas? interception. The latter enabled Fullback Vernon Struck to race back 43 yards to Browns 17-yard mark, from where Torbert McDonald skirted his right end for the final counter.

Right Halfback Frank Foley turned in the two touchdowns Harvard made during the opening half, dashing into the Brown end zone first with a 45-yard pass tossed him by Art Oakes, and ploughing three yards for his second tally after two passes clicked for a total of 35 yards and a first down on Brown's six yard line in the second quarter. Austie Harding, who replaced Oakes. also was credited with a pair of touchdowns. He raced the last 10 yards after Struck ripped off a 37-yard gain inside his left tackle, made five more through center to Brown's 20. from where Harding contacted Bob Green, his left end, with a pass on Brown's 10., The Brown line, which waged a stubborn battle during the first half, fought with renewed vigor during the third period, when the Bruins scored thjir first point against Harvard in four seasons.

(AP.) Southern Methodist University concentrated its scoring in the second period todav to defeat University. 14 to 0, 'but the Mustangs were superior to the St. Louis team in virtually all the intersectional game. A short oass from Jack Morrison to Pste Acker accounted for the Texans' first score and a 70-yard run by Bill Dewell brought the other. John Stidger and Bob Bel-ville kicked the extra points.

West Point, N. Oct 9. (AP.) 1 Army's light cavalary backs, strong in the tradition of Cagle and Meyer, charged down field three times today to give the Cadets a i 21-18 triumph over a dogged Columbia eleven, equipped with one of the best passing attacks the East has in a decade. More than 20,000 fans packed Michie Stadium beneath wintry kies to watch a thrilling game in which the lead changed hands five times. Although Columbia lost, Sid Luck-man, the great Lion triple threat halfback, salvaged plenty of glory from the dsfeat, the second in as many years for Columbia at the hands of the Corps.

He bombed the Army secondary, bucked the line and slashed off tackles with magnificent abandon and capped the afternoon's running with an 8D-yard return of a kick-off for the final Columbia touchdown. The crowd was still cheering Army's second touchdown, scored by Woodrow Wilson, when Luckman grabbed Isbell's kickoff and dashed down the field through the Army team. His blockers shook him loose at midfield and he sDrinted past the Cadets backs with tremendous burst of speed, and the score was Col-; umbia 18. Army 14. At that stage in the third period it looked like Columbia's game, The Lions were driving to the Cadet goal again when Luckman shot a long heave to Radvillas.

The ball off the Columbia man's hands and Frontczak picked it out of the air and started goalward from his own 2-yard line. Whirling like a dervish. Prontvzak went past midfield and was in the clear whn Radvillas came storming I up from behind and pulled him down on the Columbia four-yard line after a 94-yard dash.

One of the easiest Jeff victories in years was turned in by Amherst today, when the Sabrlnas slaughtered an inexperienced Norwich team, 79-3. Norwich scored in the first minutes of play with Paquette blocking a kick and it over for a touchdown. This was the only time Norwich approached the Jeff goal line, and the rest of the afternoon saw Amherst repeatedly steamroller down the field.

The Jeffs scored shortly after Norwich and at the quarter were leading 13-6, and the half ended with a potential Jeif victory tucked away, 31-6. Although Norwich rallied in the third period, holding Amherst to a solitary touchdown, the Jeff scrubs launched a 41 point attack in the fourth period, running the core up to 79-6. Captain Michell and Jatk Joys each had two touchdowns apiece, the rest of the touchdowns split among eight other Jeff players. The Amherst pass defease, which has looked weak in previous games, was improved today and twice Jeff backs interrupted Norwich tosses to score on long runs.
