Donnelly, twisted and squirmed through 14 yards to the two yards line and another first downand then Wesleyan held for three downs before Donnelly literally jumped across the goal line for the first score and Panviera place-kicked the extra point.

In less than a minute of play the Huskies had their second, and winning touchdown. Hussong ran the kick-off back from the five yard to the 33 yard line. One line play for a yard gain and then Hussong tossed the forward pass which Posner intercepted and turned into a touchdown. That's the story of the Connecticut offensive, which was far from impressive although Donnelly, sophomore back, turned in some brilliant broken field running after handling punts. Schwolsky was strong defensively, Jim Rankin turned in a 25 yards run-back of a punt and the Connecticut forward line played rough, tough football.

Wesleyan monopolized the spotlight in the final quarter as Connecticut played "safety first" foot-, ball to protect its 13 point lead. The only score by the Cardinals climaxed a 70 yards journey which started on their own 30 yard line and brought out forward passing, lateral passing and speedy turning of the ends. A Hussong to Morning-star pass gave Wesleyan a first down on the 25 yard stripe. A neat lateral and then a Heath to Moore toss took the ball to the six yard stripe where Challis, faking a fade for a pass, half spun and slashed through for a touchdown. The point was not converted.

With less than four minutes of playing time left Wesleyan came into possession of the ball on its own 35 yard line and with Kay and Hussong passing went to the State 41. wrier? the air was filled with flying footballs as one long pass after another hurtled towards State's goal line until Donnelly intercepted one just as time expired.

(AP.) The best Brown football team in six years overcame Harvard's well-drilled forces, 20-13, today as those ancient New England rivals severed football relations, for the second time since 1803, before 25.000 fans. This opening game set-back was the second in the Crimson's long history, the other occuring: 12 years ago when tiny Geneva administered a rude shock to the Crimson's pride. Brown's triumph, however, could not be classed as an upset. Harvard expected to face a dangerous foe and Brown indicated it would be Just that for every one of its 1938 rivals. The Bruins appeared dangerous everywhere on the gridiron and their veteran Irving (Shine) Hall twice climaxed 60-yard marches by scoring from inside Harvard's five-yard line.

The other Brown tally came when Johnny O'Leary intercepted the second of the 10 passes launched by the Crimson on his 20-yard line and lateraled to John Mc-Laughry, brawny son of the Brown coach, who dashed 75 yards into the Harvard end zone unchallenged. After being widely outplayed in the first period, Harvard sent Tor-bie Macdonald and Frank Foley into action and the latter countered the first Crimson points by sprinting 73 yards inside his right tackle after Mike Cohen had found that spot for a 12 yard gain. Harvard was trailing 20-6 with only eight minutes left in the game when Bob Burnett completed a 47-yard scoring pass to Captain Bobbv Green. The aerial success inspired Green and his mates and they performed their best thereafter. The canny Bruins, however, carefully nursed i the ball and Harvard's desperate bid ior a tie died when the vigilant Vic Bernstein, who spelled Captain Larry well at quarterback, gathered." in Burnett's last-minute overhead.

Both teams, although limiting themselves to a few fundamental plays, presented well-oiled attacks. Brown directed most of its threats against Harvard's inexperienced tackles and guards. Harvard's spin-bucks were effective but McLaughry's spectacular defensive work prevented the Crimson secondaries from breaking into the clear more than once.

Louis, Oct. 1. (AP.) The Chicago Cubs, crippled but courageous, sewed up their third National League pennant in seven years by plastering the St. Louis Cards, 10 to 3, In the second game of a wild-eyed double header here today while their last rivals, the Pittsburgh Pirates, were bowing in Cincinnati. The victory, scored in a 17-hit attack on four St.

Louis pitchers, placed Gabby Harriett's scrappers two full games ahead of the Pirates and placed tomorrow's concluding game in the light of an exhibition. It climaxed a pennant surge which saw the Cubs, standing fourth only two months ago, win 21 of their last 25 games and out-game the opposition. When Charlie Root, 39-years-old veteran of 13 campaigns- with the Cubs, forced Lynn Myer of the Cards to pop up for the final out in the ninth lninng, his exuberant teammates rushed to the mound and hoisted him upon their shoulders and carried him in triumph to the clubhouse. Root hurled master-full ball, allowing only two scratch hits In the last six innings after he had got off to a shaky start. The victory was won with Manager Gabby Hartnett, the champion's slugging catcher, moping in the dugout, nursing a pair of fingers damaged by foul tips.

He charged out only once, toward the last of the game, to beef at Umpire Dolly Stark, who didn't think that De-maree had been hit by a pitched ball. It was doubtful Hartnett would be ready to play in the opening game against the New York Yankees next Wednesday at Wrigley Field In Chicago. The index finger of his riht hand was blue and badly swollen. However, he bellowed, "I'll get Into that series if they have to fit me for crutches." The Cubs have arranged for a special train to whisk them home immediately after tomorrow's game, and they intended to get in two days of solid resting before the big series. They are dog-tired from their terrific pace of the past month.

They were mournful souls for a time today, after Johnny Mjze poled a homer over the right-field pavilion "in the eighth inning of the first game to beat them, 4-3. That left them desperate for a victory, as the score of the Pirates' game in Cincinnati had not yet been posted. But when the final Pittsburgh score was posted on the board, the Cubs really began to fight. Dizzy Dean stood on the dugout steps, pounding a bat against a post and yelling to Root to "pour it on 'em." The crowd of 20.000. sensing that It was about to be in on the kill, began pulling for the Cubs, too.

FJr.es at Pope Park. BY W. J. LEE. Yale Bowl, New Haven, Oct.

1. The Lion was king again in the Bowl this afternoon as an impressive Columbia team fashioned a conclusive 27 to 14 victory over Yale in what was for each team the opening thrust of their 1938 football campaign. Looking down at the unfamiliar sight of their team being whipped in its first game. Eli partisans eased the sting of defeat in unstinted admiration for the superb performance of Columbia's Sid Luckman, who gave one of the finest one-man shows the Bowl has ever seen. Not that Columbia was a one man team, for it was as a unit that the Lion was most engaging.

They had a great back who could run, pas3 and kick, They blocked beautifully ior nun, caugnt, nis passes witn breath-catching skill and afforded mm an me protection ne needed to generate his speed, elusiveness and throwing accuracy. The Columbia line, moreover, throttled Yale's attack so effectively all through the game that the -Bulldog gained but 50 yards rushing and was compelled to launch a desperate and mostly futile drive through the air lanes. Keep Tradition Alive. It was Columbia's day from beginning to end. The score might easily have been more deceive.

Yet it was by no means a dav barren of Yale hopes for the fucure. The gallant Elis kept alive the tradition that Yalp ha.3 rtovor hAan hM Mw.u score.ess in four years under the coaching of "Bus" Pond. iNut oniy aio. tney maintain that commendable offensive record as Pond's fifth year got under way, but. for a little more than three periods, made a thrilling, seesaw game out of what might have been a rout.

Though it was unquestionably the better team in every minute of play, Columbia was not in a comfortable position until its fourth touchdown had been scored three minutes after the start of the last period. It did not take Sid Luckman long to prove he has more than newspaper clippings to recommend him. His first attempt resulted in a 14 yard run on a neat reverse through his own right tackle. When Columbia's opening attack stuttered a bit on the Yale 37 yard line. Luckman Dlanteri a mint, nn th int line.

Contributing to this march 11 yard sep around the Bulldog right flank by Art Radvil-as, who might have been the hero of the dav but for Luckman. Ya.es touchdown a little later in the same period was an electrifying achievement that enabled the Elis to go ahead, 7 to 6. B.U John, giant ale tackle, came pounding of the line to block a Luckman punt yards from the Columbia line. The ball bounced almost against John's shoetops and he scooped the ball up and ran into the Lion end zone with the aid of a breat block bv Sterling Bnnkley.

He started a new drive with a 19 yard rerurn of Humphrey's punt, parsed to for seven and then helped the streaky Radviiu get loose on a touchdown run of 13 yards around the Yale right wine. Luckman kicked the goal to make it Luckman Fas 50 Yards.

1. (AP.) In a game as whacky and delirious as the flag race itself, the Cincinnati Reds crushed Pittsburgh's flag hopes today by swamping five pitch, ers with a 17 hit attack and a wild, 9 to 6 victory before a ladies' day crowgd of 13.386 fans. The Pirtes played and fought like a sandlot team. After overcoming a four-run deficit with a five-run rally in the fourth inning, the defense collapsed with their pitching and the loose-swinging Reds, led by big Ernie Lombardi and Billy Myers, turned the game into a rout. Big Jim Weaver, who rescued Bucky Walters in the noisy Pirate fourth, was the hero of the wild battle.

So completely did he stop the Bucs that he allowed but two hits, one a homer by Johnny Rizzo, In the fifth and then he turned back the enemy without a man reaching first for the remaining four innings. It was sweet revenge for Big Jim, whom the Pirates traded "down river" last wintejv, Rizzo, freshman hero of the Buccaneers, was the goat of the Pirate collapse. In the third inning, he misjudged Frank McCormlck's easy fly and it fell for a double and an ultimate run. In the fourth, he fumbled another of McCormlck's drives, letting In the tying run and opening the gates for another that put the Reds ahead. He made up for it with a triple and a homer, good for three runs, but the damage more than offset the good.

Len Posner, a product of Hartford's eWaver High School, brought a 13 to 6 victory to the Huskies of Connecticut State over the Cardinals of Wesleyan this afternoon with a forward pass intercepted and a 50-yard run-back for the touchdown which ultimately brought State is first victory over a Wesleyan eleven since 1931. State, riding on the surge of a third period rally had pushed one touchdown across before Posner's brilliant interception and run-back produced the other. Po.sner. on the run. grabbed one of Wally Hussong's "down the alley" flat passes and given good interference cut away tc his rifht and stepped 50 yards.

Wesleyan not only lost the pame but also the services of "Mim" Daddario, its captain and one of the best ball-carrying and defensive backs in New England. Daddario's left shoulder was dislocated in the second period when he was tackled hard while leading a Wesleyan march towards what seemed a certain touchdown. Daddario was taken at once to State's infirmary where the dislocation was reduced. It was announced that it is doubtful if th? colorful, capable Wesleyan back will be able to play again this season. Sent into the game after two minutes of play in the second quarter.

Daddario, whose right little finger was dislocated last week at Middletown in the Wesieyan-Coast Guard game, played inspired football after big Tim McCabe had intercepted a Peterson pass on the Wesleyan 15 yard line. Daddario, with powerful, clever running, swung around the State ends and cut back inside their tackles on six successive piays to carry the ball to State's 25 yard line, where hs was injured. His first run was good for five yards, his second for 13, his third for 21. his fourth for 12 and then State s'owed down his tempo to a pai rof two yard gains. With Daddario out of action the Wesleyan squad showed a decided let-down in its pay and it was not until the middle of the final quarter that the Cardinals found themselves, put on a drive for one touchdown and were throwing long, nerve tingling passes right to the goal line or over it as the final seconds of the game ticked away.

The Huskies put all their scoring power into a six minute period in the third quarter, utilizing two "breaks" of play for a pair of touchdowns. On th opening kick-off of the second half the ball trickled through the legs of Hussong and rolled almost to the eicht yard line but Hussonr recovered it and broiisht it back to the 22. State's forward line swarmed all over the Cardinals to force the back to the 14 yard sT.re and thn Hussong. hurried in his pun'ing. kicked low and dJect'y into the arms of Posner on the 35 yard stripe.

Hartford's Len cameyl it bark to the 31 and then a fine pass, angled by Donnelly to posner who romped.
