Hawkeyes Twice Drive to Within Three Yards of Michigan's Goal Line, Only to Lose the Ball on Downs. BY HARRY BULLION. t- i tf "A Nj'vi, i mm NN ARBOR, Nov. 23. On a gridiron hardened by chill of winter, Michigan and Iowa fought desperately to a scoreless tie this afternoon and brought their conference schedules to a close.

There was little to mark the superiority of one over the other as the two powerful teams waged battle, perhaps the last one they ever will have, with a spirit that sent warmth through the blood of thoroughly chilled patrons who should be commended for their loyalty. Except In the first period, when a courageous group of young men In the blue of Michigan fought the Hawkeyes away from their goal through the medium of a brilliant stand on their one-yard line, play for the most part wa3 between the 30-yard lines. Michigan never struck even once seriously at the Iowa goal, but it stopped the dreaded Pape, Glassgow, Jensvold and Rogge. No more could be asked. The elevens might have played until darkness precluded further action and resumed where they left off with out scoring, for no teams were more evenly matched.

It was one of those contests that could have reached a more definite result for either team only through a break. There was none this afternoon and man for man there was no marked merit on the side of either. In Glassgow, Pape and Haggerty particularly, theYHawkeyes showed a trio of hard running and slippery backs. But today the forward wall in Blue that opposed them balanced matters in a way that left nothing to be desired by the most exacting Wolverine adherent Make Great Stand. Michigan didn't get as close to the Iowa goal as the Hawkeyes got to the Michigan last chalk mark, it Is true.

But a line that had beat back and finally had its haunches on the last white stripe possessed the strength to block the path over it and only that one yard measured the distance that Iowa had to go to win.

23. (A. With one of the most dramatic, strokes of the football season, Harvard converted the return to the game of the celebrated Alible Booth to Its own advantage today, and beat Yale, 10 to 6, for the second year in succession on a half-frozen battle ground before a roaring crowd of 58,000 spectators. Yale sent her little boy In blue In the game early in the second period to lead what looked like a triumphant drive, but two swift "breaks," a blocked kick by Booth each time, enabled Harvard to counter-attack and win the game with a brace of smashing, slashing scoring drives. Booth's Kick Blocked.

The Elis were hammering toward the Crimson goal early in the second quarter when little Albie came on to the field to shed his heavy wraps' and attempt to drop kick a field goal from the 25-yard line.

(olorailo ontlniim! on Tage 20. A Vu, A "li Titans' Overhead Attack Fails and Defeat Comes for First Time Since Notre Dame Victory Two Years Ago. BY W. V. EDGAR.

OUT OF the Pacific northwest came a band of hard-charging linemen and fast running backs Saturday, to accomplish a feat no other eleven has been able to do in a stretch of almost three seasons, and as a result there Is nothing but gloom on the University of Detroit campus. Somewhere bands may be playing and people shouting the praises of their football heroes. But there is no joy in the neighborhood surrounding Dinan field, for the Titans met their masters Saturday, and bowed to the prowess of the Oregon Aggies, 14 to 7, in a game that wrote another page into the history of this great college game. Not since that October afternoon, back in 1927, when the Rockne Ramblers of Notre Dame conquered the men of Dorais, have the Titans seen their colors dragged In the mire of defeat, until they encountered thf aggregation from the northwest Saturday. It's Official Yes Sir, Purdue Captures Boilermakers Seize Lead Early and Keep Adding to Their Margin.

Bloomington, Nov. 23. (A. The rollicking "Riveters" from Purdue drove a final rivet In their claim for the mythical national football championship here today by swamping their most traditional rival, Indiana, 32 to 0, before a shivering throng of 25,000 spectators at Indiana Memorial stadium. It was a glorious end to the most glorious campaign In Boilermaker gridiron history a campaign that swept before it the Kansas Aggies, Michigan, DePauw, Chicago, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Iowa and Indiana.

Clinching the Big Ten title and retaining possession for Purdue of the old oaken bucket, a trophy emblematic of football supremacy between the two Indiana schools. Indiana Outclassed. Purdue won as it pleased todny. Indiana did not have a chance. Out-charging, outguessing and passing their rivals, the Boilermakers pushed over touchdowns in every period and as the game ended they had the ball on Indiana's eight-yard line and going steadily toward another touchdown.

So fruitless was the Indiana offensive that it netted but four first downs, two of them because of Big Ten Grid TitI Dickinson Says So. wnai nappenea men always wlllf- PURPLE ROUTED BY NOTRE DAME be remembered by the followers of the Titans, who had come to believe their team almost unbeatable. This belief was shattered late In the third period when Bill McKalip, a tall, rangy Scotch, end, surged through the defense, gathered In a pass meant for Brazil and scampered over the goal line for the touchdown that brought with it a pall of gloom that settled over the stadium until the final gun sounded. Couldn't Overcome It yard line, were the Hawkeyes in moments when they had to be alert to avert disaster. One touchdown would have won the game, or a kick from the field.

Neither was possible under the conditions, however. Joe Gembis tried one of his celebrated "boots" from placement on the 25-yard line in the fourth quarter. But he the upright by a slender margin and Michigan never got near enough thereafter to try another. For a moment it appeaeed as though the educated toe of the pudgy Wolverine halfback had won another major game with his kick, but the leather had sailed slightly to the right of the uprights. Play Clean and Hard.

Clean, hard football that always leaves a lasting Impression no matter what the result might be marked the play over the crusted turf from the moment the whistle starting play pierced the November air until the timekeeper's pistol barked the cessation of hostilities. Whenever a runner was tackled he stayed tackled and frequently two line men and a back brought the toter of the leather to earth with emphasis that was amazing. The snap in the air which was akin to that leagues north was like elixir to the sturdy youngsters who go bravely defended their colors. Yet in spite of the celerity with which taeklers first crashed against runners with the ball and felled them with force the contest was what could be expected of two teams trained to the point of physical perfection supported by deep rooted determination to conquer. Arlw to Occasion.

Michigan encountered In the Hawkeyes a group of young men that played the game with all the power embodied there and, as in the Harvard and Minnesota games, arose to the occasion. The fact that triumph didn't reward the efforts of the Wolverines matters not. The team that a week ago drove Purdue to the extreme limit of its power to win by the margin of a single touchdown and resultant goal kick figured to retrieve its loss then. In the Wolverines, though, it met an inspired eleven that not only courageously defend Campaign, Nov. 23.

They had seen them come from behind in most of their important games to bru3h aside a rival. But the Oregon Aggies wouldn't be brushed aside.

Once In the lead, the team that has been more or less of a doormat this season for the other teams in the coast conference would not be stopped. The Aggies needed no further incentive than McKalip's touchdown and they fought as few Continued on Page 16. Fullback Wally Harper after a brilliant advance featured by a lateral pass, Devens to Mays, which the latter converted into a 35-yard gain. Douglas Dues It Again. Shortly after the kickoff.

Booth, punting from near his own goal, again was smothered. Again Douglas, the ubiquitous Crimson end, was on top of the mighty atom to block and recover the ball on Yale's 17-yard line. This time, the Blue brace and prevented a touchdown, but Barry Wood, the sophomore Harvard quarterback, calmly drop kicked the pigskin between the uprights from the 15-yard line at a difficult angle. Fighting desperately to check the Crimson rush, with less than two minutes to play, before the end of the half, Yale's big captain, "Firpo" Greene, broke through to block Wood's punt, giving Yale the ball on Harvard's 18-yard line. Two passes thrown by Booth failed, but on the third, after a five-yard penalty, the Eli ace tossed to "Hoot" Ellis who took the ball on the 15-yard line and fought his way across the goal line for Yale's only score.

Booth's drop kick was not blocked but It went wide of the uprights. Harvard Is Inspired. Thus, all the scoring, most of the thrills and drama if this forty-eighth battle between the Crimson and the Blue, was confined to a second period in which Yale's mightiest weapon was turned against it. Booth, whose inspiration to the Eli attack had all year been in evidence the moment he stepped on the field, had the strange experience of seeing his appearance signalize the victorious Crimson drive. Until Booth entered the game, Yale held what little edge was to be had in a strictly defensive battle.
