Well aware that its team was lucky to salvage a 77 tie out of the game, the Maroon band refrained from playing "California Here We Come," It's theme song after every game lately. i Stubborn Harvard Eleven Nosed Out By Yale, 14 to 13 By GEORGE Cl'RRIE Stnff Corrmpondrvt of The Euglf New Haven, Nov.

21 Yale's 1936 edition of Frank Merriwell came through with a monstrous explosion today, disguised as Mr. Larry Kelley, captain and end, and when the boys went to the showers in the dank, dark dusk for a New England night the score stood: Yale, 14; Harvard, 13. Kelley had to make the winning For after 60 minutes of tussling touchdown three times. In the sec- ond period he caught a pass and slithered Into the Harvard end zone.

He cut back College Football Scores Thomson, Shute By TOMMY HOLMES Brooklyn's Intercollegiate football season wound up In a blaze of bewilderment typical of Ebbets Field yesterday afternoon with Chick Meehan's Manhattan Jaspers de-disively on the short end of the score against Villanova's eleven. Vlllanova's Wildcats settled for their two first period touchdowns and a 12-to-0 victory. Manhattan College might dc able to get some moral satisfaction out of that because, in the two previous meetings of the teams in the course of the Median regime, Vlllanova won, 48 to 0, and 37 to 0. The.

confusion occurred In the final quarter after a delightfully informal and spontaneous play wound up with a third goal line crossing for Villanova. The thing started as Villanova had a first down on Manhattan's 22-yard line. Andy (Pop- i with alert but lowly regarded Bulldogs, the Rose Bowl of Pasadena Is further off than it was two weeks ago when the Rams overpowered Purdue. From that sublime exhibition of football, Fordham swung to the other extreme yesterday and Maroon adherents among the 40.000 could scarcely believe their eyes. They saw the "Seven Blocks of Granite" piled up, cracked and top-, pled from their pedestals.

On the defense the Georgia line outplayed the famed men of Fordham and the Bulldogs might have won If their secondaries had not committed the cardinal sin of allowing a pass receiver to get behind them. RAM HAS EDGE IN STATISTICS To be sure Fordham had a wide margin when the statistics of the game are viewed. The Rams went to 12 first downs as compared to Georgia's five and they outrushed the plucky boys from Athens, 149 yards to 88. The Rams completed half ftheir 12 passes for a gain of 84 yards while the Bulldogs completed two out of four for a gain of 35. But these figures mean nothing when it is considered how close Fordham came to being defeated and how a tie was really a break for the Rams.

In the first period the Bulldogs took the ball away from Fordham on their own 33 and then went up the field to their opponent's 17. Maurice Green, their best passer, came into the game at this point and on the first play 1 threw to Otis Maffett In the end fone. No one was near Maffett and all he had to do was to hold on to the ball. But he dropped it and Fordham rooters sighed with relief. For a while It looked as if Maffett, the boy who dropped a touchdown pass In the end zone was going to be the goat of the game.

But he got another chance to redeem himself early In the third period and this time he did not muff. Coach Jimmy Crowley was so disappointed with the showing of his varsity In the first half that he started the second string Rams after the half-time, intermission. Three plays after the kickoff. Warren Mulrey, substitute backfl fumbled and Pete Tinsley, the best football player on the field all day. recovered for Georgia on the Fordham 21.

Then entered a figure in white, almost spectral in the gathering gloom. It was Field Judge Dan Kelley, and he completed a Princeton pass that the Tigers couldn't, with a decision that was weird enough to fit into the whole scheme of things.

That gave Princeton the ball one yard from a touchdown, and It had its six points In two plays. But the seventh It failed to get. as the usually Impeccable Ken Sandbach flubbed the extra point attempt. So the two teams slogged along at 13-all into the gathering dusk. Princeton so content with a tie that, with a minute left to play, Tigers stood like toy statues, immobile on the Green carpet, wasting time and lending, by their spooky tactics, a final spectral touch to an amazing afternoon.

Notre Dame, playing brilliant mechanical as well as Inspired football, astonished a capacity crowd of 56.000 thrilled spectators this blustery November afternoon by whipping the champions of the Western Conference in one of the biggest upsets of the season. The pop-eyed spectators left the Notre Dame Stadium wondering which was now the ranking No.

The big chance came at the end of the first period when Daniel, a running fool all day, took a punt from Dartmouth's six where the Indians had been pushed by a penalty and ran It back from mldfield to the 31. From there on it was Daniel on four out of five plays, on short bites, and, after the teams changed ends, Princeton soon had its srore, with Sandbach adding the extra point necessary to make it 7 to 0.

That was all Princeton got for a long time. Meanwhile the Tigers made two mistakes, and Dartmouth cashed in on each for a touchdown, with amazing suddenness. Dartmouth Shows 'Em Each faux pas the men of Crisler committed deep in their own ground, around the 20-yard line. And, each time, Dartmouth, after recovering the ball, had a score in two plays. Daniel, maker of the first touchdown, backed into Kaufman as the latter was about to punt midway in Continued on Page 2 this afternoon.
