BOILERMAKERS SCORE UPSET Big Ten Championship JYoii' in Three-Way Tie Wildcats Toppled Off List of Undefeated Teams Purvis Registers Touchdown to Trounce Purple BY PAUL MICKELSON CHICAGO, Nov. 28.

Each the shareholders of the crown had records of five victories against one defeat while a fourth, Ohio State, missed its chance to make a quadruple stalemate by losing to Minnesota in its charity game today at Minneapolis.

The final standings gave Purdue only a tie, but the 40,000 spectators who shivered through freezing temperatures saw the best team conquer. The Boilermakers, playing the iron-man role with but one substitution in the entire struggle. outgained, outrushed and outplayed the Wildcats from the first period on. Furthermore they proved their ability tinder fire by stopping Northwestern's biggest threat from the 1-yard line and twice from the 30-yard stripe. The touchdown stroke that spelled "Vaterloo for Northwestern came only a minute before Purdue appeared to have tossed away its biggest chance to score, on a gross error of judgment by its great sophomore halfback, Fred Hecker.

The Purdue back grabbed one of "Pug" Rentner's long passes on his wn 20-yard line and broke loose. With a great burst of speed he eluded the Wildcat tackles until two of them bottled him up on the Wildcat 15-yard line. Cornered, he tossed a pass forward (Continued on Tage 2, Column .7) Makes Two Long Jaunts to Scoring Territory Races 72 Yards for Score' or, Opening Play HARVARD STADIUM (Cambridge, Mass.) Nqv, 28.

A crowd of 42,000 New England-r ers gathered for the massa-l 1 Harry 1 LLMAN ere to welcome old Pop 'Warner back to this stadium after his twen- ty-year absence and, while, so doing, to glimpse its first view of. the California brand of football. As Warner led his rangy tribe off its Palo Alto reservation a week ago, an admiring Stanford student body honored the departure by I lending its famous Cardinal ax, i symbol of victory for thirty odd years, for use during the eastern invasion. CADDEL SCORES The axe was not on display but Stanford wasted no timej! getting down to ax-like methods, for after taking the opening kick-off, its in-terferers cut down the left side of Dartmouth's line so cleanly that Ernie Caddel was able to skirt that flank for 72 yards and the opening touchdown. There was not a green-clad warrior upright when he rounded that end and dashed down the side lines Caddel added two more touchdowns during the game, scoring again in the opening session with a reverse and a 63-yard burst through his left tackle and taking a 27-yard pass from Capt.

Harry Hillman for his last trip over the Dartmouth goal line in the fourth period. The Stanford leader put over a touchdown in the second session, ending a sensational SO- -yard drive with a yard smash through center. This advance started when Stanford downed a punt in midfield. Caddel sent it on its way with a pair of lusty smashes off his left tackle, the Stanford leader fea him a long pass for a first down on the Green's 11-yard line and there were only three feet remaining after Jack Hillman and Gordon Campbell battered through each tackle on reverse plays.

(Exclusive) Yale finished her football season in a blaze of glory today, winning from Princeton, 51 to 14. Yale received the first kick-off, and after two or three plays the result was never in doubt, for it was immediately apparent that Princeton was hopelessly outclassed. From the physical standpoint Yale appeared in bet-t condition thaii their opponents, and this in spite of the hard and strenuous game with Harvard a week ago. For Yale men it, was a perfect afternoon. Here was a Yale team that ran the ends, hit the line with both straight and delayed plays, split the Princeton defense wide open for forward passes down the middle and ran back kick-offs and punts for touchdowns.

The game brought Tulane through the Southern Conference campaign undefeated and the defeat of North western and the tie of Southern Methodist University left the Wave as the only unbeaten and untied major football team in America. The Green Wave washed over the invading Tigers with ease and precision after the half, and part of the last quarter was played with sec ond and third-string men in the line-up.

The two Army touchdown plays were among the finest of the year. They had the blood of the big crowd running warm even in winter weather. The first killing blow came early in the first period, Brown, the young Army star, dropped back as If to kick. In place of this he threw a down-field pass to Ray Stecker, who took the ball at blazing speed and ran to Notre Dame's 7-yard line before he was brought to earth. Stecker then raced around Notre Dame's right end for 6 yards and a moment later Kilclaj hammered his way across the line.

Stecker failed at goal but 1500 cadets were having a young riot. Notre Dame's big supporting crowd sat In stunned silence, but few thought the Army could ever hold this lead, much less add another score. "Now we'll go," some Notre Dame rooter shouted, but Notre Dame never had a chance to go. The Army kept ripping through Notre Dame blockers and spilling the runner on play after play. It was around the middle of the second period before Notre Dame made her first down and then Schwartz had to travel 11 yards with little help, fighting his way along.

Anyone attempting to pick that mythical thing known as an all-America team must be governed by several considerations. The first of these considerations is that football among colleges no longer is a game of elevens.

It is a game of squads and combinations. Every major college has from twenty-five to forty men in the field in uniform, BY BRAVEN DYER Despite rumors and reports to the contrary, Northwestern is still being considered as a possible opponent for the University, of Southern California in the Tournament of Roses football game at Pasadena on New Year's Day. At first glance Northwestern's 7-to-0 defeat at the hands of Purdue yesterday threw the whole matter into a jumbled condition and apparently left Tulane as the most logical selection. There is no doubt 'but that Tulane would make a fine opponent for the Trojans. But S.C.

officials feel that the public has seen southern teams so often in the past that BOLOGNA NOSES OUT LIVER BY LONE POINT IN BATTLE Yale and Harvard.

I have felt all the season that the team would find itself and get their offense to clicking and it came in this final game. Stanford's dgves were seldom stopped except by their own fumbles and their defense was able to cope with Dartmouth's fine passing game much, better than I had expected. It was a spectacular game with many thrilling plays. Dartmouth threatened all the time and was dangerous to the end. The game again proved that the long trip and change of rlimate has little effect on these interactional games.

Of course, I am proud of my boys, all of whom played their best football today. Dartmouth deserves credit for not letting down toward the end of the game In the face of sure defeat.
