SIXTOND PERIOD, BEING TACKLED IY HELL OF HARVARD. College Football Results Cornhuskers CrushN. Y. U. In Snowstorm, 15-7, After Connors Gives Violet Lead LINCOLN, Nov.

20 (JP) One Eastern invasion of a Western grid-Iron was unsuccessful here this afternoon when New York University, previously undefeated, went down before the onslaught of the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers, 15 to 7. Playing on a rough, frozen field blanketed with a steadily falling snow, the Huskies displayed their best brand of Missouri Valley football, while the powerful Violets took their first defeat in nine straight games. Although the visitors showed enough speed to bear up the enviable record with which they came Into the fray, the Nebraska team outplayed them throughout. The invaders broke away in the first quarter for the first score. Connors scooped up Howell's fumble and made a spectacular 68-yard run for a touchdown.

The Easterners hardly threatened to score a second time and the ball remained In the Violet's territory fully two-thirds of the time. Georgetown Ts Great Team Gives New York an Eyeful In Beating Ford ham, 39-0 By GliOllGK NOBBF. GEORGETOWN'S crashing exponents of the gentle sport of college football came to the Polo firounds yesterday to give New York fans an eyeful of another really great eleven. The Rlue and Gray team from Washington stands third in the country In accumulating points. It gave a terriflc demonstration of its offensive power against the game Ford ham Maroons.

The boys from the Bronx fought to the last gasp, but they were smothered under a 39 to 0 score at tho finish. The final whistle was the signal for the rooters from the Capital City to come pouring out on the field. They charged first for the east goal posts, which swayed perilously back and forth under the Impact and finally came down. Using the crossbar as a battering ram, the Blue and Gray cohorts rushed to the west end of the field. Here a few special policemen made a temporary stand, but when they saw the engine of war that was being brought to bear against them, they rushed to safety and abandoned the posts to their fate.

The boys from Washington cam well prepared. They had provided TO TITLE, Rockne's Powerful Ma chine Grinds Out Easy 21 to 0 Win.

20 MP) Thrusting two mighty feet out of the ahndow of threatening defeat, a hmlsed and battered Yale bulldog Miked Its way to victory over Har vnrd before a throng of 80,000 In the New Haven bowl today, 1 2 to 7. 'Two spectacular field goals by Wadsworth and Captain Tibby Bun ncll rescued the game for the Blue in the second half after a sensational 10-yard pass had unexpectedly put the Crimson out in front by a single pulnt, 7 to 6. Leaping Into the fray, a minute man from the sidelines who hud only one task and did It well, Wadsworth clinched Yale's triumph with a placement kick from the 28-yard line. It remained for Bunnell, however, to contribute a spectacular climax to the struggle. His drop kick was one of the longest of the season, the ball soaring over the cross-bar in the fourth period from a point near the 40-yard line.

Kor a time during the gripping struggle of the ancient rivals It ap- peared that Yale, in spite of a more alert and versatile attack, would fall short of victory, as it had so often done in the last two years. Three times in the first three periods Ell's sons pushed to within scoring range, only to see the place kicks of the husky Bturhahn travel wide of the uprights. But where Sturhahn failed two other sturdy warriors of the Blue succeeded, and under the clouts of their unerring toes Yale draped "We'curfain to triumph over four successive defeats in a glorious finish. Harvard Errors Glaring. Although the Cambridge team's stunning touchdown by Saltonstall in the third period, raised Crimson hopes for a victory over Yale for the first time since 1822, Harvard mistakes were too frequent and glaring.

Blocked kicks and intercepted passes kept the play for the most part In Harvard territory. Sturhahn going over for Yale's touchdown in the second period after Richards had blocked a punt by Coady and sent it rolling toward the Crimson gosl line. Harvard was only twice within easy scoring range, taking advantage of its second opportunity to put over a touchdown after Guarnaccla had failed to capitalize the first on an attempted field goal. Guarnaccta's chance came shortly after the Yale klckoff. which Quarterback Stafford carried back 35 yards In a brilliant run through the Ynle ranks to the Blue's 45-yard mark.

From this point Harvard started a drive through the Yale tackles, alternated with short aerials by Guarnaccla to Hayles and Stafford. Mopped just Inside the 20-yard line. Harvard sent Guarnaccla back for the kick, but the ball soared far from the uprights and one minute later Harvard found herself on the defensive as Noble lifted a long punt over Stafford's head to the Crimson 10-yard line, Misses First Kick. It then became Yale's turn to miss the first of attempted three field goals, Sturhahn falling to hoist a place kick over the bar from Harvard's 24-yard lino after an Ell offensive, featured by the running of Noble, had taken the ball to the G'amhrldge eleven's 14-yard lino. But the Harvard defense, while rock-ribbed against the Ell running i attack when a touchdown threatened, caved unexpectedly a minute later.

Coady's attempt to kick his i team out of danger was aimed low nd Richards, breaking through, Crashed full Into the ball and sent spinning toward the goal line. Kturhahn, who balanced his failure as a placement kicker by outstanding line play, leaped after tho pigskin and with a clear field ahead chased it over the last chalk mark for a touchdown. Sturhahn, missing his subsequent try for thn extra point, had his third shot at the Harvard goal post immediately after tho next kick-off. Blocking another of Coady's punts, he set himself on the 29-yard line for another placement kick, but once more tho pigskin floated to the side of the uprights and the half ended with Yale leading 6 to 0. Sturhahn Misers Again.

Undismayed, Yale called on Stur-hahn's boot a fourth time at the opening of the second helf. Interception of a Harvard forward pass by Kline and a 26-yard dash by Ho-ben on a fake kick pushed the Crimson hack to its 25-yard line, but again Sturhahn was not equal to the task, and, Harvard recovering a fumble on Yale's 29-yard line shortly afterward, made its bold stroke for victory with the long pass to Saltonstall which resulted in a Chuuncey, who had entered the game in the second period, was on tlie sending end of the toss, which fell Into the Harvard end's arms with a clear field ahead. Saltonstall caught the ball on the ten-yard line and raced the remaining distance. I'hauncey kicked the extra point, cutting Harvard in the lead. The unexpected turn spurred Yale to an overhead counter attack, and In two spectacular heaves, Hnlabird to Kline, and Kline to Scott, the ball was advanced from the kick-off to the Crimson 20-yard line.

Once again Meehan's line forced Nebraska to put, but the clever Stephens sent the ball off on tho sidelines on the 31-yard mark, Briante hit the line twice for a total of flvo yards. Strong punted to Stephens, who gained only fivo yards before being dropped on his own 20-yard lino.

Nebraska was guilty of tripping on this play and the ball was given to N. Y. U. Briante and Strong bucked the lino for two yards. A pass, from Connor to Briante, was Incomplete.

With this was combined a crushing series of sweeps over end, starting from a very similar formation. Then, at need, there was a beautiful forward passing game to he called upon. The most impressive thing about the defense was the fact that the linemen made most of the tackles themselves. These fellows had been schooled to follow the play. As a result the man with the ball would always find himself confronted by two or three tackier at the same time.

And all the G. V. men hit bard, one nigh, another low and the "spares" add the finishing touch. Zov GmJinm Mill Pordliam's Hero. Fordham did what it could.

For the rest of the boys fought hard. They were licked, but not disgraced. They never gave up for a moment, and when the Blue and Grny attack finally got started.

It looked like a rout impended. But the Maroons stood up like tho panic boys they iire, and made Georgetown give Its best for every Inch It lined.

This victory enabled the soldiers of tho sea to retain the President's Cup, first competed for last year, ami keep unbroken their long string of victories over tho best tho Army has been able to place against them.

Acting for tho President, who was unable to attend, tho Klrst Ijidy greeted Captain Bailey with a Harm handclasp. Hhowing impartiality as between the two services, Mrs. Coolldge sat with Secretary Wilbur on the Navy side for the first part of tho game and then crossed over between the halves to take her place with Sec-rotary Davis on I he Army side. TOM BOYD INJl'HED.

(Special to The Eagle.) Plnehurst, N. Nov. 20 Tom Boyd. Fox Hills golf professional, left here today with the professionals attending the pro tournament with his right leg In a plaster cast. Utep-plng off the train lie pulled th ligaments In his le, which proved to be very painful and prevented him from taking part In the final day's play.

An X-ray exam! by lr. Murr showed that the ligaments hud been severely twisted. The doctor suggested that It would lie ot h'HHt "IX wei'ks before Boyd could walk. He was heeled lo the train Ooyte and Johnny Clolilen. Strong's kick for point after touch down proved to be the Easterners last score.

Howell's Ten-Yard Plungo Gives Huskers First Score. The Husk em made their first score In the second quarter. Presnell caught a punt on the New York 43-yard line and shook off four tackier In a 20-yard run. A 16-yard plunge by Stephens put the ball near enough the visitors goal line to cause the 15,000 spectators to hold their breath when the quarterback fumbled and then recovered. Howell then plunged ten yards for a touchdown.

Bobby Stephens dropkick for the exera point failed. It fell to Stephens also to add six points to the Husker score in th fourth quarter. Nebraskak worked into the invaders territory until the ball was on the New York two-yard Stephens went through the line for a touchdown. iron if Is Outbooted By Western Rival. The game was featured equally with line plunges and punts.

"Blue" Howell, injured early In the seanon, relieved Presnell today by carrying the ball a large part of the time for Nebraska. Connors and Briante did the lugging for the Violets while Strong took care of the punting. His kicks, however, being as Ineffective as those of the opposing toe-man. Fumbles were frequent, particularly among the buskers, because of the slippery ball. The field was covered wth snow which reached a depth of two Inches or more in the last period.

Players Wore Gloves Because of Cold. Many of the players wore gloves part of the gam. There was little pacing down until the lolcts opened na few In the last quarter in a final effort to rally from the losing end. None fthem was completed, However. Nebraska tried one pass hi the first quarter.

Although Stephens' punting toe fniled to work with accustomed accuracy, nearly all of his punts going out of bounds, he sent the pigskin between tho goal posts for a perfect field goal fro mthe 24-yard line in the third quarter. FIRST PEKIOB. Captain Stiner won the toss and chose to defend the north goal. Ken Strong kicked off for the Violet. Stephens ran to his own 30-yard line.

After Howell and Presnell pained five yards through the line the Violets were set buck five yards for offside. Nebraska got a first down when Howell went through the line for thne yards, but the Westerners were set back for offside on tho next play. Jtoberts of N. Y. trying for a totirhhack let Stephens's punt roll to the Violet's tthree-yard lino, whence Connors was forced to punt again to Stephens.

wood shavings and with these as ai basis they soon made a roaring bonfire right out in the center of the Polo Grounds. If John McGraw'j ball players could have seen the field then they never would have recognized the old place. While the victory over Fordham "was too one-sided to be much cause for such extreme exultation, the Georgetown team is something really worth crowing about. In the first place, the men are big. Connaugh-ton with 285 pounds sets a mark that the rest of the team tries its best to come up to.

But while they are big. these men do the fastest, hardest charging any line that this observer has seen this year. Their defense Is Just about impregnable. Fordham did succeed in making threo or four ttrst downs against them, hut most of these came on successful forward passes. Backflrlri Measure Up To the Mile's Standard.

But If that tremendous line is good, the backfield measures up to the samo standard. Gormley, Thompson and Nork are three of the most dangerous backs that any coach could want to be blessed with. Gormley kicks, Thompson and Nork carry the ball, and Nork throws the pusses. When you add George Mn-Cabe, a faat and really tricky open field runner, to that stellar collection you have a backfield to marvel at. Other men can rave all they want about Kockne and his Notre Dame eleven, but Georgetown, on the form it showed yesterday, looks like the better ngKreg.it ton.

There are no holes in Dull Little's line. His forward wall d.ics not need a O'Boyle to plug up the holes. Mis men all know their stuff, and the whole crew follows the ball on everv play, defense and offense both. It's an alt-star aggregation. McGrath and Carl a 1 1 at tho ends, Con-naughton and Saur at tackle and Grigsby at center are in a class by themselves.

The visiting eleven played the first half under wraps, evidently under orders not to open up under any conditions.
