SI Harvard fought Yale to a Heartless tlo this afternoon with as courugooiis and sensational a 'defensive battle as has ever been witnessed In the halt century of gridiron competition between these two ancient foes. Spurred on by their Indomitable captain. Dolph Cluels, husky.

Call-fornlan, whose brilliant work stood out in the thick of every fray, the rejuvenated Crknson forces put their backs to the wall and played their rivals to a standstill In a succession of thrilling defensive stands. Yale, entering the game a three to one. favorite, outrushed Harvard more than two to. ono with an attack that overshadowed that of the Crimson, but the Ells, contributing to their own failure with erratic generalship and loose handling of the ball, lacked the punch to penetrate the Grange Allows Britlon to Score in I lis Place, Ending Career in Blaze of Glory Columbus, Ohio.

21 W) Harold "Red" that flaming fhost of the gridiron, dropped behind the Intercollegiate football horizon today, leudlng his "fighting Illinl" to a to 0 victory over Ohio beforo 85,500 spectators, the greatest throng, with one exception, that ever witnessed a football game In America. Wllhln five minutes after he bad galloped oft tho gridiron, his face still steaming with the heat of battle, the famous Sl-year-old hero of football heroes told the world what It could expect of him In the future. He mado the dellnlto announcement that he would enter tho ranks of professional football; that ho would Immediately leave the of Illinois, and that he would inanago and organize his own team. Orange made known his plans for tho future as soon as he rrached his dressing room, with at least fifty newspaper men trailing him.

crowd of 53,000 specta tors, most of them convinced that Yalo would make It three straight over Harvard, saw the Ells come within striking distance of tho Crimson goal line six times, only to yield the bail on downB or toss away opportunities because of errors. Jlnrvvnrd Poos Old-Tlme Mont-wall 'Act Twice, whlfe the Bluo stands echoed their yells for a touchdown, Yale advanced as far as Harvard's two-yard line In threats which, oddly enough, furnished both tho opening snd closing thrills of this traditional drama. It was typical of Harvard's whole fight that tho Crimson should throw up Its tlnal bulwark and stop the Bluo only a few feet from the goal as the tlnal whistle blew. There wsa less than two minutes to play ns Yale, fighting desperately, planted the ball on Harvard's five-yard line when Bradley, substitute end, grabbed a spectacular forward puss which Quarterback Bunnell had thrown from mldfleld. Only a desperate tackle from behind by Captain Cheek; prevented Bradley from going over then and there for a touchdown, and it seemed thnt Yalo finally was to break through with four downs in which to negotiate or.ly 15 feet.

Yalo Tlirnsts Held. lilHtie F-mls 1 But Harvard had the defensive stuff left for one more stand. Thrice the burly figure of Caldwell, a. third string back, hurled Itself at the Crimson jerseys but it. yielded only three yards altogether.

Then Just as Yale huddled together for one more lunge, the shrill sound of the whistle broke through the din of cheers to mark tho end of the game. Another few momenls and Yale Jnight have gained the remaining yardage to the goal, but It seemed unlikely in the face of the last-ditch spirit dominating Harvard's bulwark. Jn between these opening and closing high spots, Yale missed four ether chances to score, all in the final half of the game, with the Blue attack putting forth Its Teatest efforts and throwing all Its reserves Into the fray. Twice In the third period Tale thrust her way deep Into Harvard territory, only to lose the ball on downs each time, once when a trick piny on the 31-yard lino went awry and oost a loss of 13 yards as well as possession of tho ball, and again when Uie Crimson held for downs on her 21-yard line.

Orange, although falling to score a touchdown, llnlshed Ills career, bluz-ing In full glorv and, through a st rnnga stroke of fate, was running with the ball, participating in the final play of the game as the pistol barked, ending tho contest anil his spectacular Intercollegiate career. Grange In totlay's gamn figured In 21 plavs from scrimmage, gaining 14,1 yards, twice getting uway for spectacular runs that brought the crowd cheering to lis feet In a frenzv of excitement.

Onco he got away on a run of 3H yards before he was chased out nf bounds. Ills other outstanding effort was a darting dash of 2B yard that sUirted out with the possibility of a long run for a touchdown.

Nov. 21 A couple of breaks and one good ptr ii-naive puncn sufficed to give Rut gers a 7-6 victory over New Y.ork University in their annual battle at Nellsen Field hero today before a crowd of 10,000 fans.

A blocked punt by Goldschmldt which gave Rutgers the ball on New York University's 18-yard lino In the first period and which led directly to the touchdown scored soon afterwards by Singer, Connors' failure to drop kick ine seventh no nt after N'on- York University's touchdown nnd his failure later tchdropktck from the 04-yara jine were among the elements, tinged by luck, which enahled the Scarlet to down the Violet in their closing game of tho season. he Invaders, after being scored upon and outplayed In the first half, came back strong with a rally in the last two periods and twice were In a scoring position.

Captain O'Neill accounted for his team's six points when a double pass from Briante to Connors to O'Neill found the Violet leader catching the ball over the last chalk mark.

This effort came In the third period. York University had several other chances hut failed to produce the punch when it was needod. X. Y. V.

Shows Drive. Tho Violet touchdown resulted from a well-sustained drive from mldfleld. Connors and Brianto led tho plunging assault, while a forward from Connors to Kay helped considerably. The double pass came on the fourth down and started from the seven-yard line. In the fourth quarter the visitors opened their forward passing gnme and worked their way down to the 15-yard line as a result of a fine toss from Connors to Nolll which gained 35 yards.

On the. 16-yard line Rutgers held and grounded another pass. Connors last toss of this drive went over the goal line. Another drive started from New Y'ork University's 411-yard line. Connors passed to Vay twice for an aggregate advance of 30 yards.

The two teams battled on almost even terms throughout the greater part of the game. What llttlo ud-varrtage there was seemed to rest with Indiana as the Crimson gained 205 yards to Purdue's 160. Near the close of the game Captain Marks sent tho Indiana rooters Into an ecstacy of enthusiasm hv racing from hla own 10-yard lino. 00 yards across Burlue's goal lne.

DOVF.H HALL, Brunswick, Nov. 21 VVllbert Robinson, the hermit of Chesapeake Bay, took time out In his pursuit of the wily deer or tho wily somcthing-ov. other here today, to deny the report from Minneapolis that Johnny Butler, crack third baseman of the American Asociatlon, had become the property of the Brooklyn Hohlns, Acordlng to tho story from Minneapolis, Butler is the player coming to Brooklyn In exchange for Dick Loftus and Wilbur llub-bell, who were released outright to tho Millers late last season. Minneapolis is also supposed to get a third baseman and a catcher from Brooklyn to complete the deal.

But Manager Itoblnson slated that there Is no truth whatever In the report. He also slated that "Babbit" Maranvllle, recently acquired from the Chicago Cubs, will probably play second bitsu for the Hobln next year. Urishmeiu by Two teams of fighting Irishmen met head gn yesterday when Qeorcn-: town battled Kordham for the Cu' championship. Georgetown's nearly Irresistible force: 1'laiiHky, Hi.gerty, Metzger nnd tlormely, plowed through the hitherto immovable body of Fordham's line und furrowed a 27 to 0 advantage over the Bronxmen. The result may be called an upset, but after the first five minutes of play, when tho weight of tho driving machine began to crush.

It was evident that Fordham would be plunged from the unconquered peak to the pit of the defeated. The Maroon has little excuse. Outweighed but not outgamed, the gritty group from old Rose Hill fed their best men only to be Injured In the fray. Tho battering ram of the Bronx was battered and crushed bv a heavier, better team. Sx-oits First Touchdown.

Shortly after the kick-off, Kordham began its first offensive which carried the Maroon to the Blue 35-yard line. Here, tho defenders hold for two downs and Graham, torrid to kick, attempted a drop-kick which was blocked by Jawlsh. who recovered and carried It to Kordham's 10- yard stripe. It was a sudden turnl' of the tide and nerore rortinam anllvn Ilia dunopr. had sliced through tackle for 2i yards more.

Plansky kicked wide of the goal ncuta hut Pnrdhnm had been off side and the point was conceded. Ivory's Great Tackle. Fordham failed to gain In line rushes and Graham exchanged punts with Plansky.

The little Bronx quarterback showed an advantage in this department and decided on more line ploy ufter taking a short punt at mldfleld. The Cap- itollers held the Metropolitans lor downs as the second quarter opened and started to skirt the ends. Motz- ger darted at the left wing, but J)e-laney threw him for a loss, and the oval was again In mldneld. But not for long. Hugerty essayed the right It looked fatal, for Leary, who plays that outpost for Fordham, had not been boxed all season.

Waitc did It yesterday and Captain Hag-erty was off. Thore were no tacklers between the great halfback nnd the posts, but Leary. flying In pursuit, hurled himself at the leader's feet and downed him by as sensational a tackle as has been seen on any gridiron this season. It was a long gain, however, and Fordham braced its defense' only 15 yards from the goal. Plansky Jabbed at the line three times, and on the third attempt crossed the line, but ii five-yard penalty nullified the scored Ho had gained a first down and it seemed a matter of seconds before the llllltoppers would tully.

But four plunges at the battered Fordham line yielded only three yards, and the Maroon took the hall. Graham kicked 35 yards, and Plansky, receiving, catapulted himself by sheer( weight through the entire first defense and brought the hall back to Fordham's 20-yard stripe. Fordham was penalized 15 yards. Hugerty plunged through guard and advanced to within two feet of the Fordham posts. It was the last down, and the Bronx boys once more matched their grit against the invaders' beef, and held.

Fordham took possession a foot from the goal, hut Graham's punt was blocked by (iormely, who fell on it for a touchdown. Plansky added tho 14th point. Metzger took the kick-off to mldfleld. but lino plunges failed to show to advuntage and, after a 15-yard penally. Plansky punled to Fordham's 30-yard line as the first half ended.

Beallzlng their weight disadvantage, the visitors attempted to make tip for the deficiency with trick plays. From a faked place kick they tore, off 13 yards on a pass. When this failed the second time, the Violet and Gold backs played basketball a while, uncorking passes that were bandied by practically every man on the team who was eligible to handle a pass. But after the Columbia men had solved the basketball plays, the Invaders could do nothing, try us' they would. Kaplan Scores Twice.

Harry Kaplan, a former New t'trecht solnttllant, captured the high scoring honors of the day with three touchdowns, two of them after spectacular runs For one ho scooped up an Alfred fumble in mld fleld and snaked through the visiting team for the store, and for the other caught a kick-off on his 12-yard line and managed to elude or shake off all pursuers, finally crossing the zeni mark afler an 8K-yard dash.

NEVERS PROVES DEVASTATOR AS STAMFORD I'll where a wild pass from center cost 20 yards and forced Jerry Wads worth to try a goal from placement which went wide from the 35-yard line. A few moments later Harvard's final stand was mado and the Crimson, showing the sort of bulldog tenacity usually more characteristic of her rival, emerged from tho 44th battle of the long series with unexpected laurels, besides, in the opinion of most critics, a "moral victory." By comparison with the disastrous beginning at Cambridge this season, Hai'vai'3's closing flourish, including a victory over thrown and a tie with her greatest foe, amounts almost to a triumph, while at the same time Yale failed to regain any of the prestige lost through the beating administered by Princeton's Tigers, new kings of the "Big Three." Harvard's Attack Is "Not So Hot' Kit her. Harvard was outrushed In all the rccond period, when the Crimson got us far as Yale's 38-yard line-before T.er passing attack was broken up by Allen und Bunnell.

This was as linso as the Cambridge eleven ever dime to Y'ale'a goal with an attack which had neither driving force nor consistency but the Crimson offset this advantage by its game and brilliant defense and some excellent punting by Coady. Captain Cheek was the driving force in this defense, in which E. Bradford; Coady and Kilgour, linemen, also figured prominently. It was Cheek who twice saved the Crimson when fumbles of punts by Zarakov in the first halt opened opportunities to the Blue. On the first Yale thrust, Cheek Intercepted it pass down behind his own gitl line, while early 1n the second quarter the Crimson leader fell on Zura-knv's fumble on Harvard's 3-yard line as a cloud of blue Jerseys syept toward the ball.

Again In tho final quarter Check's tackle of Bradley from 'behind on the Crimson line was a saving factor. Allen and Klshwick were the driv ing forces in laic's hackfleld, hut tho brilliance of their efforts frequently was offset by misplays and faulty generalship. Twice In the final quarter bail passes from centtr by Burt upset yale marches, while except ror me one long pass con -plated lust before the close of tho game, tho Ell aerial attack was wild and poorly screened. Home Idea of the wasted energy in tho Blue oC fenslve Is given by the fact three times It covered half the length of the field and averaged ntlvnnora of 25 yards on three other occasions..
