PRINCETON SWAMPS HARVARD, 36 TO 0 IN CLASSIC Oberlander Star as Dartmouth Swamps Cornell of Petrels' Victory Over Citadel Forward Passing Offensive Of Tiger Features Game; Jake Slagle Shining Star BY FRANK GETTY. Palmer Stadium, Princeton, N. November 7. The Princeton Tiger chewed up John Harvard Saturday and mangled the remains in the greatest footbal triumph the Orange and Black ever has enjoyed over the Crimson. When the final whistle blew and joyous Princetonians swarmed down out of the stands for the dance of victory, the score board recorded the final result: Princeton, 36; Harvard, 0.

Never in the history of Harvard-Princeton games, which has been played since 1877, has there been such an overwhelming, one-sided vic Big Green Rises to Peak In Race for Eastern Title; Passes Aid Hanover, N. November 7. the "giant Swede" Oberlander starring in a spectacular air attack that swept all before it, Dartmouth bombed Cornell's footbad forces into submission today by the annihilating margin of 62 to 13. Before a crowd of 15,000, Jess the red clad eleven into the worst year reign of, "Gloomy Gil" Dobie. triumph over a foe which came with the peak of the eastern championship that existed up to today in the series for the humiliating 59-7 defeat the Ithacans handed the Green in 1921.

The Hanoverians now hold five victories to four for Cornell in the series to go to the ground, and Crosby, Harvard's left halfback, even achieved the one Crimson first down of the game. But the visitors were getting mixed up in their signals and had nothing to show in the way of a dangerous attack. The third period was scoreless, but early in the fourth, after Harvard had taken the ball on downs on its own 32-yard line, Bob Darby did his staff. Darby Stars for Tigers. Brushing aside a couple of Harvard linesmen, he plunged through just as Coady, the visiting fullback, was getting off a punt.

Darby hurled his broad chest in the way, staggered, pounced upon the ball, and lumbered over for the fourth Tiger touchdown. This was not converted. The fifth and final score came just as the sun set behind the Nassau hills, leaving a glow of victory for Princeton, but only the shadows of gloom for Harvard. tory as this. The score tolls only part of the story, for the Crimson was hopelessly outclassed in every department of play and the Tiger had reaped to roar and just frisking about kittenishly, still scoring almost at will when the game ended.

Slagle Princeton Star. Harvard lias only the memory of ft gallant stand in the third quarter to comfort the Crimson cohorts as they trail their colors through the dust of this old revolutionary town, headed haek to the elms of Cambridge. Princeton is singing of the glory of Single, the one and only Jake, who passed and ran and kicked and piled up practically single-handed an oppressive" lead over the helpless and bewildered visitors; of Dignan and Caulkins, McMillan and Lea. heroes of the Tiger team in its hour of triumph. Then, after it seemed that the slaughter had ceased, there blew into the game a veritable tonado named Preiui-rgast, who ripped his way through the faltering Crimson line, and made possible an almost unnecessary touchdown at the very end of the name.

on Blocked Punt. To make the triumph more complete, there was also the familiar incident of the loose ball, the alert Princeton linesman, the scoop and run for a touchdown which has featured clashes of the Crimson and Orangi and Black in years gone by. A young Jerseyman named Darby, reputed slow of foot but long on muscle, went into the game in plice of Rosengarten. broke through at the start of the fourth quarter and blocked a Harvard punt. The ball bounded crazily a few chalk lines from the Crimson goal posts, and Darby, recovering from staggering blow on the chest, snatched it up, sidestepped couple of Harvard tacklers, and lurched over for a touchdown.

For the most part, which was also the first part, it was just a case of too niui i single. The game was not three minutes' old and the echoes of the throbbing songs of Princeton and Harvard cheering sections had barely given way to the booming of punts and the thud of flying cleats before this great Tiger back had forward-passed his team to an advantageous position and phot through the line for the first of the afternoon's succession of touchdowns. Three Passes Score Touchdown. Three Princeton forward passes, thrown by Slagle and neatly handled on the receiving end by Dignan and Caulkins. were completed iu the making of this touchdown, to the complete bewilderment of Harvard.

Single's educated toe. which rates ns highly as his flying legs and sturdy accurate throwing arm in the Princeton offense, added the jwint that followed the first touchdown. Another phase of Princeton superiority was demonstrated a moment later. Slagle kicked off to Miller, the 19-pound halfback. who had replaced Maher the Harvard back-field.

Two Tiger linesmen tackled Miller so savagely that he dropped the ball nd a Princeton man fell on it. Dignnu ripped through center for 13 yards, and he and Slagle added five more. At this stage of the game, Bradford, the alert Harvard wing man, knocked down a Tiger pass, the first that had not been completed up to this stage of the proceedings. 'Very well." growled the Tiger, "if you intend to interfere with our passes, we'll just show you another way to score." Slagle Boots Field Goal. yfake Slagle booted a perfect droplock over the cross bar from the 25-jard line for three more points.

Jrfim this point on "until the end of, the first half the Tiger gave Harvard no peace. Tlie Crimson did not make a single first down in the first half and achieved but one during the entire game, while Princeton made 19 first downs. The second Tiger touchdown came as a result of an intercepted pass. Jake Slagle plucked a long heave by Check out of the air near mid-field and sprinted through the broken field to the Harvard nine-yard line. A succession of line bucks finally found Dignan with his face ground into the mud.

clutching the ball just across the last white line. Single's kick added itnother Toint. In the middle of the second quarter, after an exchange of pnnts. Slagle, standing on his own 20-yard line, threw a long pass to Caulkins. The Princeton quarterback reversed his field ami ran to the Harvard 13-yard line before he was pulled dowu from behind.

Dignan Scores Third. From this jtoint after the Crimson line had stiffened and stopped Dignau on two rushes, Slagle again passed to Caulkins. who was brought down three yards from the goal line. Dignan smashed through right tackle for the third tpnehdown. and Single again added a point with a drop-kick.

When Jake trotted from the field to rest up a few minutes later, the Princeton stand rose in a wild outburst of cheering to greet the great back. Coming into the second half. Harvard, with the exhortation of her coaches stinging in their ears, braced and foucht stubbornly. The Tiger backs could not gain passes began Glimpses PETRELS BEAT CITADEL, 7 TO 0 Continued From First Page. returned the "compliment lv shooting a short punt to the.

Bulldogs' 15-yard line. On the first play, Fdanding, Bulldog quarterback, fumbled and Justus recovered for Oglethorpe on The Citadel's 14-yard line. Surely now. the experts figured, the Petrels would show the offensive power that had buried the Centre Colonels under an avalanche of touchdowns. but the Bulldogs' defense stiffened again and the ball went over on The Citadel's 6-ynrd line.

The I'etrels now looked for a kick out, hut Iilanding thought a plunge through the middle of the line was the right idea and another fumble resulted. Cousins recovering for Oglethorpe on the Citadel's five-yard tape. Too much was simply too much the Bulldogs had nothing left for a third stand and in three plays the winning touchdown had been registered. Rough Going for Roth. The remainder of the wav the traveling was rough for both elevens, although neither came through with anything that resembled a serious threat until well in the fourth quarter when Maurer went back to his old trick of gaining ground for the I'etrels and when the Bulldogs uncorked some likely-looking forward passes.

Absence of Maurer and Campbell from the Petrel lineup at the start caused some concern, as the Bulldogs brought with them a record which stamped them as worthy foes, but Walsh proved quite a sensation during the tini! he was in harness and Garlington directed the play as if he had been doing it all of his life. It was not until the start of the second quarter that Maurer and Campbell were sent into the fray, so the laurel wreath of victory isn't going to be placed on brows that have worn it so often in this season of Oglethorpe achievement, for the old guard had nothing at all to do with it. Instead, it's going to "Walsh, whose sensational off-tackle runs in the first quarter put the ball in striking distance it's going to Justus and Cousins, who were right on hand to take advantage of the Bulldogs' misfortunes and it's going to Sheppard, who made up his mind that he wasn't to be stopped on that final dash for the winning marker. Good men, those, and you'll hear more of them as the season draws to a close and the rosd to glory gets rougher. Petrels Outplayed Citadel.

Bulldog supporters ore going to blame "the for the defeat of their heroes, and they did play a most important role, but cold statistics of the encounter prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Petrels outplayed the gallant Carolinians in practically every department of the game. In the matter of first downs, for instance, the Petrels more than doubled the number compiled by their opponents, making 13 to the six garnered by the Buildogs. Attacking power of each team was stronger in the first half than in the second, eight of the I'etrels' first downs and four of the Citadel's coming in the first half. Oglethorpe, sailing serenely under a V-point lead that looked bigger and bigger as the battle went on, was not in desperate need of showing any-forward passing game, completing one out of three attempts for a gain of nine yards. The Citadel, on the other hand, tried 13 passes, two of which were completed for a total gain of 54 yards.

Light of her passes were grounded and the Petrels intercepted three. Running plays netted the Petrels 244 yards, while the Bulldogs went around and through Oglethorpe for but 117 yards. No, sir. statistics of the game don't leave much solace for those who are going to credit "the breaks" with the defeat of as courageous a bunch of fighters as South Carolina ever sent out. Small Crowd Sees Game.

Courageous and capable, too, was the impression the lads from Charleston made on a handful of gridiron fans, for the crowd wasn't at all what it should have been for a game which had an important bearing on the S. I. A. A. championship.

Especially courageous and capable were those war horses. Weeks and who shouldered the major portion of the Bulldogs' offense and defense.

The victory broke the tie with Cornel! and squared accounts Oberlander's. bullet-like passes resulted in six of Dartmouth's nine touchdowns.

Two others were accounted for personally by Oberlander, one on a 48-3'ard dash through most of the Cornell team and another on a one-yard dive through center, while the ninth and final tally was carried over by a substitute back, Starret. who intercepted a Cornell pass and raced 42 yards to score in the last quarter. Passes Well Screened. While Oberlander was the outstanding tower of strength in the Green onslaught, turning in a performance that seems to clinch his claims to all-American fame, the big blond backfield ace had a defensive screen for his amazing passes that was perfection itself while Lane, a running mate, and Tully and Sage, a bare-legged pair of remarkable ends, proved themselves unerring "ball hawks." This trio of Green flashes, running wild through Cornell's defense, plucked the ball out of the air with uncanny accuracy as they darted to all corners of the field. At times they broke clear to grab the oval and race to the goal line unimpeded.

Dartmouth started a march down the field after Cornell received the kick-off and was held. A run of 25 yards by Oberlander was followed by a Cornell penalty and two forward passes, the second, Oberlander to Sage, enabling the latter to score. Tully kicked the extra point. A second touchdown resulted from another long forward pass, Oberlander to Lane, the latter scoring. Tulley again added the extra point.

Cornell, a moment later scored a touchdown on a long pass, Butterfield to Tilton, but Carey's kick for the extra point was blocked. txrnell off tackle drive got into action and resulted in another touchdown. Carey added the extra point. Earlv in the second period two long forward passes by Oberlander and a 12-yard end run by the same player gave Dartmouth another touchdown, the.

A pass from midfield by Oberlander to Lane, who ran 25 yards over the line gave Dartmouth its sixth touchdown. Tully kicked all three goals, making the score: Dartmouth 42, Cornell 13, at the half. Tally Scores on Pass.

In the third period Oberlander threw a long pass to Tully who raced 15 yards far a touchdown. Tully also kicked the goal. The play was duplicated a few minutes later, Tully scoring on a 22-yard run after receiving a long pass from Oberlander and the score was 5G to 13. Dartmouth scored its ninth touchdown in the final period when Star-rett, sub fullback, intercepted a forward pass oa Cornell's 42-yard line and ran over the line. McPhail's attempted goal for the extra point was blocked.

This made the final score: Dartmouth 62; Cornell 13. RICHMOND WINS FROM GORDON Augusta, November 7.

Chicago, November 7. W) Mire that was ankle deep, rain that streamed from sullen skies, partial darkness that shrouded the swimming gridiron, and a cruel wind that tossed punts back almost in the face of the kicker were the agencies of nature that played loading parts in Northwest-ern's 3-to-2 defeat of Michigan at Grant Park stadium today. It was Michigan's first defeat and the first time this year the Wolverines have been scored on. Truly, it was a weird game, players in rubber pants a ball so mud-soaked that on two occasions it could not he passed from center to punter punts that twice fell 10 yards from the line of scrimmage fumbles that were so frequent that officials might well have become dizzy determining which team had the ball and the whole a gray picture of 22 mud-covered gladiators, sliding, ploughing sometimes almost swimming toward ob jectives that never were reached. A sardonic nature worked strings and the players were the the puppets.

First there was the gale at Northwestern back in the first period. It laid strong hands on Lewis' first punt and carried it 58 yards to Michigan's 4-yard line. Nature laughed again when the ball, slippery from a veneer of mud. slid from Friedman's arms as he took the punt. A Northwestern player fell on it.

Nortliewestefn found the Michigan line adamant and again sought to enlist nature's aid. Lewis fell hack and place-kicked, the ball sailing with the wind squarely between the goal posts, and the heretofore inviolate Michigan had been scored on. Northwestern gave Michigan a score in the third period, when Lewis stoxl behind his own goal line, and seeing the Michigan line charging through the slough toward him. chose to down the ball rather than chance a blocked kick, a Michigan recovery and a Michigan touchdown. And thus the farce, enacted in deadly earnest, ended.

If money brings luck to Everett Scott, substitute shortstop for Washington team in the American league, is "it." When he received his world's series check from Commissioner Landis for $3,734 as part of the losers end of the purse, he became the kingpin among world series financiers. As a matter of fact Scott did not appear in the box score against Pittsburgh but because the Yankees set him adrift during the summer Scott had a chance to cut in on his silth world series melon, without toting a bat to the plate. So far as the number of series is concerned Scott shares the honors with "Stuffy" Mclnnis of Pittsburgh, Eddie Collins of tne hite box ana Babe Ruth of the Yankees, each of whom has been in six series. It might be deduced that Mclnnis has beep, favored by luck as much as has a Scott considering that "Stuffy" was turned loose by a near tail-ender only to nook up with champions, but there is a difference Scott has the most" money to his credit. With the last check cashed Scott had banked $20,003 of world's series money since 1915, when he cut in on the winner's end with the Boston Red Sox.

He remained with the champions from the Hub long enough to draw two more checks, both from the winner's end. Being transferred to New York he got his share of the loser's end in 1922 but averaged it up pretty well by -drawing down the biggest purse on record $6,143 in the world series of 1923. Then came his sixth cut-in this season. Ruth Is Next. Ruth is nearest to Scott in totl amount with the two having shared in five out of the six series.

Scott was not in on the I purse in 1921 and Babe lost out this season. Collins has pulled down $17,793. His shares were more evenly distnb-1 uted than either Scott's or Ruth's, i his lowest being almost exactly $1,000 more than Scott's and Ruth's small-j est The minimum amount to go to was $2,031 in 1914 as part i of the losers' end between the Ath-j letics and Braves. Scott received I only $1,102 as his part of the winder's end in the war year of 1918, Ruth also sharing in the purse this 1 year, for the smallest amount on reeorti. Collins grabbed off most of the money with the Athletics, being counted in the series of 1910.

1911. 1913 and 1914. Eddie was in on he winner's end for the White Sox against the Giants in 1917 and got a loser's share in the Chicago-Cinc'n-nati games of 1919. Ruth swelled his bank account while with Boston in 1915, 191G and T91X and with the Yankees in 1921, 1922 and for a total of $20,681. McTnnis won his first extra purse in 1910.

The Georgia team held the Alabamans on the six-inch line. Johnson, punting from behind his own goal line, sent the ball to the center of the field, where it was caught by Taylor, who. after dodging and twisting, placed the ball over the last while line.

Iiedfearn, Gordy, Guthrie, Corliss and Alabama Rats 17 Rome, November 7. (Special.) The firm of Taylor and Reverra, working in the interest of Alabama freshman tide this afternoon changed a 13 to 0 defeat into a 14 to 13 victory, and Georgia's colors were again lowered to give place to the Red and White for the second time in as many years. The Bullpups had the lead through three quarters, due to the brilliant toe of Johnson, playing quarterback, and the touchdown by Jacobson, after he had, himself, blocked an Alabama punt. The first field goal of the Georgia star was for 45 yards. The first scoring of the Alabama team came in the fourth quarter after its forwards spines of Oglethorpe rooters on the last play of the first quarter when he ripped through the Petrel line for 30 yards before being downed.

Weeks it was who was on the firing end of two passes that threatened to spill the beans for Oglethorpe. Berry it was whose long punts were among the best that hare been seen by Atlanta fans this season. Leading grotmd gainers for the Petrels were Maurer. who netted close to 100 yards in line plunges and end runs: AValsh. with approximately 50 yards in off-taekle thrusts, and Sheppard with 40 yards from straight line plunges.

Campbell was not called upon often in the three quarters he played, but his return of punts saved the Petrels many yards of hard plugging. The longest sustained attack was supplied by the Petrels in their march from their own 33-yard line to the Citadel's one-inch tape. This march netted three first downs. In the fourth quarter the Petrels again compiled three first downs in a row, Maurer proving the principal actor in lugging the ball from Oglethorpe's 20-yard line to the Citadel's 40-yard stripe where it was lost on a fumble.
