Hevwanl Allen Breaks Arm in Fall After Catch of Aerial. By JACK TROY. Constitution Sports Editor. SAN FORD FIELD. ATHENS, Nov.

22. Georgia's flaming red and black Juggernaut of the gridiron, attacking with tremendous power and dazzling speed, today crushed a creditable Dartmouth team, 35 to 0, and rolled irresistibly on to an Orange Bowl bid. As Alabama bowed to a surprising Vanderbilt eleven, with the great Jimmy Nelson bottled at every turn, Georgia's Frankie Sinkwich virtually nailed his claim to All-American by throwing a touchdown pass, scoring a touchdown on a spectacular dash and sparking the opening score of the Dartmouth contest. Sinkwich, playjng only 27 minutes, gained 155 yards on 15 rushes and passet. twice complete for a gain of 24 yards.

For the season, he now has gained 883 yards on the ground and 494 yards through the air. As more than 18,000 supporters sat wonderstruck looking at the great show of offensive speed and power, the flashing Georgia team traveled to touchdown on 23 plays after the opening kickoff end at half time led by 21 to 0. The bewildering and utterly baffling Bulldogs scored on power, a brilliant runback of a punt and on a spectacular pass interception. In the third period they scored twice more, with sensational Frankie Sinkwich staging the top offensive show of the afternoon. Flying Frankie completed a startling running pass for one score and came through with a dazzling sprint of 69 yards the other.

A marked man, Sinkwich had taken a heavy pounding, and so he was removed after hL. great touchdown run. ALLEN BREAKS ARM. As a fickle fate would have it. Tenn.

22. (JP) Yale's courageous underdog football forces fought so gallantly that mighty Harvard was forced to go all-out to gain a 14-to-0 victory in their 60th clash today before a 55,000 crowd. The lightly regarded Bulldogs, after receiving the opening kick-off, ran and passed 82 yards Fullback Hovey Seymour bucked into the Harvard end zone from its 2-yard line.

Frenzied partisans went wild, and one man left the stands to intervene on the field, as the Bucks grabbed the lead, fell behind and forged ahead again only to see the Wolverines pull abreast in the latter stages of the final quarter. Ohio's plunging backs smashed over for a couple of touchdowns, Jack Graf from the 4-yard line and Tom Kinkade from the 1, and Graf passed 20 yards to Dick Fisher, who scampered 30 more for the third score.

John Hallabrin kicked the first two extra points and missed on the try for the third. Scoring honors were similarly divided among the Wolverines, with the leading gainer. Captain Bob Westfall, plunging over from the 5-yard line, and Sophomore Tom Kuzma powering across from the 1-yard marker. Kuzma passed 15 yards to End Harlan Fraumann for the other Michigan score.

In their dressing room, Immediately after the game, the victorious Tigers voted unanimously to accept a bowl invitation if one were offered. More than 14,000 homecoming fans huddled in the stands as the teams fought their 50th anniversary game on a mud-covered field that resembled chocolate frosting. The players dripped with gumbo and even wrapped towels around their necks to keep it from trickling under their shoulder It was the largest score ever made since these two schools started their grid series in 1891. Despite the mud, the Tigers, ranked as the No. 1 running team in the country, tore through the Jayhawks for 449, yards, scoring twice in the first and third quarters and three times in the last.

It was Missouri's eighth straight victory, giving it a second Big Six title since 1939 and arousing more than ever talk of a bowl game. In the third quarter Kansas intercepted one of Missouri's laterals for its only touchdown and became one of the few teams to score against the Tigers, who have held nine opponents to only 25 points.
