NEWLAND Associated Press Sports Writer STANFORD STADIUM, PALO ALTO, Nov. 5. P-In a thrill-a minute encounter featured by sensational runs and many intercepted passes, Washington's purple-and' gold-garbed gridiron warriors smashed to an 18-13 victory today over stanfords Indians. With a demoralizing second-half attack that swept everything before it, Coach Jimmy Phelan's Huskies came from behind to push over three touchdowns and pile up a lead that a great Stanford rally was unable to overcome.

In the closing minutes of play the Indians also crossed the goal line of their opponents but a last-second threat failed when the Huskies regained the ball on an intercepted pass and clung to it until the gun wrote finis to one of the wildest football scrambles witnessed here in many a season. CHERBERG SHINES Two great runs paved the way for Washington's outstanding victory thus far this season. Not long after the boys lined up for the opening of the third period, Johnny Cherberg, fleet quarterback who played today after a long lay-off due to injuries, took Stan Anderson's punt on his own 12-yard line and threaded a broken field 88 yards to score. The slim crowd of 8000 fans rose en masse to cheer Cherberg and he cut to the left side of the field, dodged several tacklers and broke (Continued on Page 4, Column 7) mm. a.

Oh, the Trojans Are Up And the such animal) will testify that money all counts the same. It makes no difference whether you earned it by the sweat of your brow, or mairied it, or your papa left it to you it ali rings up the same on the cash register. And it's the same way with touch downs. Whether you make 'em or the other guy hands 'em to you they all count exactly the. same on the score board.

The Trojans made only four first downs all afternoon while the Bears were piling up more mileage than a Wilshire bus. But the home team was more dangerous, it developed during the afternoon, while the Bears had the ball than when it was in their own possession. They couldn't gain through the Bear line or around the Bear ends and the only forward pass that amounted to a hoot that they were able to complete was much more of a tribute to the Individual Juggling ability of Homer Griffith than it was to the efficiency of Troy's passing attack. Homer just naturally stole that one catching it on the dead run with one hand. THAT PASSING ATTACK But the Bears, on the other hand, had the most effective passing attack seen on the local gridiron in years.

It was good for four touchdowns. One for the Bears and three for the Trojans. And that was the ball game. The Bears started out by engaging in a punting duel with the Trojans, neither team being able to do very much in running plays. And they forced the Trojans back a few yards on each exchange of kicks un til all of a sudden Ernie Smith, the gigantic bald-headed Trojan tackle who was a trombone player until he found himself, crashed through the Bear line and backfleld like a cobblestone through a paper sack and blocked one of Williams's well-intended punts, thereby giving his team-mates the pill on the Bear 30- yard line.

Before the startled Berkeley-ites could figure what had happened, Gets shot through an enormous hole in the center of the line for 15 yards, and a first down. Gets and Griffith then alternated for another first down on the Bear 4-yard line. And the 70,000 witnesses howled. The teams lined up directly in front of the posts and Griffith started over Ernie Smith's tackle position under a full head of steam. Keefer, the California halfback, diagnosed the play correctly and dashed across back of the line of scrimmage to stop it.

Just as Homer reached the line of scrimmage, head down, feet churning, his 190 pounds (Continued on Page 3, Column 4) to the mounting total. The Purdue seconds and thirds played most of the final period, but with less than three minutes left, the regulars went in to perform the most sensational play of the game. With the ball on Chicago's 46-yard line, Purvis passed backward to Hecker, who shot a prodigious heave to Moss. Moss had only to trot over the goal line.

He pulled three would-be tack-lers toward the side stripe, then reversed the field, slipped off another tackier and cut back again toward the sidje.

(S5) The full fury of Army's mighty football force was hurled against Harvard today and the Cadets put on a methodical slaughter to overwhelm the Crimson, 46-0, its most humiliating setback since the dark gridiron ages of 1884. A crowd of 40,000 was horrified by the merciless attack of the deter mined Cadets, who were spurred on two to uphold the 35-year-old tradition that Harvard can't beat Army in the stadium and wipe out last year unexpected 14-13 reversal at West Point. Harvard, minus its only competent center and with invalids in most of the key positions, was helpless from start to finish. The game became monotonous after Army kicked off, killed the Crimson attack before it was launched, downed a futile Harvard punt and then swept on to a touchdown. Ten times Army made deep marches into Harvard territory.

Three times the Crimson managed to turn the Cadets back Inside their 5-yard line, but this resist wuw lj a wMvvd PITT POWER gagement. The Maroons gave Boilermaker supporters a brisk scare in the first period, marching 35 yards to the Purdue 1-yard line before the defense awoke and took the ball on downs.

TOO MUCH 12 Triumph Over Battling stout hearted resistance today and 57 yards for a touchdown. Then with less than a minute to go, Pennsylvania recovered a free ball on Pitt's 14-yard line, where a punt had bounced off the Panther safety man's shin. With no time for a running attack, Kellett gambled with a pass, but the ball grounded behind the end zone and the final whistle blew. Pittsburgh packed the heavier offensive punch, rolled up fourteen first downs to Penn's six, and generally had the upper hand all the way, but the -Red and Blue warriors gave a fine defensive exhibition besides waging a gallant uphill fight.
