Crushing an outclassed but courageous Crimson eleven beneath an irresistible attack, Dartmouth won her third successive football victory over Harvard before 50,000 spectators here this afternoon. The score, 32 to 9, was one of the biggest ever rolled up by the Green in Harvard Stadium. and completely dominated the played in the East this season, situation after the first period. PHILADELPHIA, Oct 24. The sturdy Pennsylvania ball team, already recognized as the potential holder of the mythical Eastern championship, played host to the Chicago eleven this afternoon and in a steady rain despatched the Westerners, 7 to 0.

Two fine teams were seen in action. A crowd of 65,000 fathered at Franklin Field to watch an encounter In which the breaks, see-sawing constantly, kept the issue in doubt until the final whistle. The two opposing fullbacks, Kruei and McCarty, furnished a series of thrills with their fierce plunging. The pace was too fast for the Chicagoan and he was replaced, but Kruez was etill smashing his way through the Maroon line when the battle was near its end. The Red and Blue scored its lone touchdown in the first period.

Rogers, who did noble work in the Pennsylvania back-field throughout the game, tossed a forward pass to Thayer, who romped thirty-five yards across the visitors' goal line. Kruez added the extra point by kicking a placement goal.

In the East, Pennsylvania's fine team, continuing its remarkable record by a 7, to 0 defeat of Chicago, stands as a strong contender for "championship" honors. Another eleven which may warrant first ranking is the big Green team from Dartmouth, which trod roughshod over Harvard yesterday with a 82 to 9 score. Penn and Dartmouth also were undefeated last year and the prospects for a clean slate in 1925 are more' than rosy. Iowa's 15 to 0 victory over Ohio State marks the Hawkeyes as the probable Western Conference leader. Michigan established claims to rivalry by revenging last year's defeat at the hands of Illinois.

The score was 3 to 0, and "Red" Grange, who trampled upon the Michigan eleven last year, was effectually quashed. Missouri, by nosing out the Kansas Aggies 8 to 0, increased kick, making but three first downs in the first half.

The Tigers, after fighting desper ately and checking the rushes of Tryon, leading point scorer of the year, In the first three periods. weakened In the fourth quarter and Colgate lumped In to score an un expected but decisive victory.

Less than 10,000 braved the de plorable weather conditions to watch the game, which was keenly and evenly fought out In the first half. Tryon, breaking through re peatedly for short gains which ended beneath mounds of Orange and Black tacklers, turned to a kicking game and made four at tempts at field goals, none of which succeeded, owing to the soggy condition of the ball. Shaughnessy, the Colgate full back, gained repeatedly through the Tiger line, but fumbled several times, seeming unable to Keep his hold on the' ball, which was Jieavy as well as slippery. In the final perloa Princeton let down noticeably. Kankate, Colgate eight tackle, broke through and blocked Dlgnan's punt for a safety.

Moore's Playing Saves Lafayette From Shutout single toucnaown on a ram-soaxea rz GEORGIA ASIDE ATLANTA, Oct 24. A mighty Alabama team, one of the best machines seen In the South In many a year, rose to the topmost heights of Southern Conference football here to-day when they swept the powerful Georgia Tech aside under a 7 to 0 score. It was one of the greatest games seen at Grand Field since the days when Hetsmann coached Tech elevens and they ruled supreme In the South. Alabama deserved to win by all rules of the game, for the forward wall held the vaunted attack of the Tornado backs, while Pooley Hubert and Johnny "Mack" Brown came through with that necessary yarl galnage which gave 'Bama her win. Perhaps the greatest star In at-.

tack and defense of the Alabama eleven was Hubert, All-Southern back of last season. Brown team went Into the game as though possessed, and Keefer, Its star left halfback, sprinted around right end for two long runs of thirty yards each, the Jast of which ended with him hugging the ball back of the Tale goat posts. Keefer kicked a field goal after the touchdown, and the Brown rooters were wild with Brown's triumph was short lived, however, for Cutler and Bunnell, the Yale backs, opened up a running attack which carried the ball deep Into the Brunonlan's territory, and finally won the game. This pair worked a forward pass for a 80-yard gain and towards the end of the period Noble, replacing Cutler, hurled a pass to Bunnell which put the ball on Brown's 18-yard line Kline and the Blue line-breakers were called upon-and went through for successive first downs. Kline carrying the ball over for a touchdown shortly before ths whistle Allen kicked a field goal, tying the score.

Bunnell, starred throughout the contest, put Tale Into position to score early in the second quarter with a beautiful run back of a punt to Brown's 1-yard line. Tale used a deceptive shift whereby Kline went through to the one-yard line and Allen hit left tackle for a touch down, which was not converted. Keefer and Mlshel tried to skirt the Tale ends, but fierce tackling by the Blue wlngmen kept Brown constantly punting. A weak punt which went out of beunds on Brown's EO-yard line put Tale into position for her third touchdown. Noble made a yard and a pass netted five more.

Kline made it first down, shooting off left tackle, a vulnerable spot In the Brown line. Noble made seven yards, Allen a like distance, and then Noble skirted left end for the touchdown. Aljen kicked a field goal. -This ended the scoring. In the second half Tale repeatedly marched down the field, only to find the Brunonlans fighting so desperately on their own ten-yard line that the ball was lost on downs.

Two fumbles cost the Blue opportunities to score, and Brown, while outplayed, was not dishonored. In the final period Brown cut loose with a desperate running attack that swept Tale off its feet. Keefer, who had carried the burden of kicking and much of the offensive play, shot through for long gains, and it was Brown which was outplaying Tale when the final whistle sounded.

Penn State was held to the surprisingly low score of 12 to In defeating the Michigan Aggies this afternoon. The home team was un able to score in the second half, while the visitors opened up an aerial attack which gave them a touchdown.

The game was played In a continuous downpour and new Beaver Field was muddy. Michaelski, the former tackle. who was shifted to fullback this sea. son, made both of the Penn State touchdowns. Bangerfleld's 25-yard run around left end was largely instrumental In giving the Penn State eleven its first score.

Successive plunges by Bes- dek's backs took the ball to the five-yard line, and Michaelski carried it over. Haskon blocked the try for goal. The Pennsylvanlans scored again after McCann had recovered a blocked kick on the Aggies' 10-yard line Michaelski ripped through centre for the necessary yardage. Weston kicked goal. In the second half the Westerners' aerial attack proved effective.

A fumble smashed one opportunity for a score, but a 85-yard pass from Smith to Fouts finally put the Aggies in the scoring column. Smith failed to dropkick for the extra tally. GEORGIA EASY WINNER. ATHENS, Oct. a most bewildering forward pass attack, Georgia swamped Vanderbilt to-day, 26 to 7, on a slippery field.

Into the scoring column came early In the second period when -arty had brought the ball to Penn's id-yard line. Lieth broke through and downed Duval for a 7-yard loss, but -on the next play a pass, McCarty to Drain, yielded 20 yards. But two plays through the line that were crushed and two forward passes that refused to come off gave Penn the bull on downs and Kruez punted out of danger.

Kruci twice during the first halt farted in a try at a kick from placement. third period gave the Maroon another chance, but ijieptness at pass.ng caused the opportunity to be muffed. Abbott then twice fumbled the slippery ball on the receiving end of punts and Penn recovered both times, finally taking the pig-skin on Chicago's 15-yard line. Kruez tried for a dropkick, but the Chicago forwards leaped through and blocked the attempt. Krom then on until the finish the teans resorted to the kicking game in the hope that a fumbled ball would take the play put of midfield.

Chicago outrushed her opponents during the earlv part of the firs-quarter, but invariably lost the ball on passes after tearing off flr downs. The game ended with Penn ruining rampant through the crumbling Chicago line with the ball on the Haroon's 40-yard line. Pennsylvania Wilson Plk.
