HARVARD IS BEATEN AS GAME NEARS END Fullback Takes Perfect Toss, Twists Clear of Two Tacklers and Squirms Over Goal Line After Wood's Field Goal Gives Crimson Lead. Crimson Wages Fierce Battle to End and Through Passing Attack Threatens Wolverines Almost to Windup of Game. BY IIAKKY BILLION. Cambridge, Nov.

8. v-. X-'flK -i. fly ICHIGAN'S amazing eleven, playing in a way that was even more inspired than when the Wolverines hurled back the charges of Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois, arose to new football heights this afternoon. On the sod of Soldiers field that is Harvard's monument to King Football, the Crimson met in the Maize and Blue a conquering foe.

Michigan scored one touchdown, but It was enough to win, 6 to 3, against a field goal from the 25-yard line by Barry Wood, the sensational Harvard quarterback, who met his master at forward passing In the person of Harry Newman. The score that sent Harvard down to defeat and Michigan Into unrestrained Joy that didn't stop with the up-rooting of the goal posts at both ends of the gridiron, culminated from a pass that Newman sent Into the receptive hands of Roy Hudson, who ran 10 yards across the Crimson's final white stripe. Wood's kick that came before the Michigan touchdown and lifted Harvard into the ascendency, and the Wolverines' spectacular play that netted the single touchdown of the game, were squeezed out of thrills that crowded the fourth quarter. Harvard's cheering section had not fully subsided from its response to Wood's kick from a difficult angle before it was thrown into a state of chagrin aa It saw the brilliant Newman unwind his good right arm, look for Hudson on the southside of the gridiron and, perceiving him uncovered, send the ball as straight as a string Into the fullback's hands. Two desperate tacklers reached fc'a, Limine 1.1.

Wood Proves Ills Greatness, Barry Wood, whose passing last year against Mihclgan In Ann Arbor hardly ever will be forgotten, is more than a flash. Better than Newman in a majority of attempts to nass successfully, Wood was just unfortunate to meet In Wheeler, particularly, and Hozer and Hudson, men who solved his game and reduced it to a minimum. On the other hand, Newman struck with less frequency, but he saw a place for one and It turned impending defeat, into victory that made staid old alumni forget their dignity and lend speed to their legs in getting down out of the stand for the rush on the goal posts.

FORDHAM'S unbeaten Rams still are marching along unmolested toward a place In the football hall of fame reserved only for teams with untarnished records, but they were given their greatest scare Saturday afternoon In the stadium at the University of Detroit Trailing for the first time this season and apparently headed for their first defeat, the easterners rallied their forces In the final period to eke out a hard earned victory over the Titans, 13 to 7. As they head homeward Btlll flaunting the banner as the only major eleven in the east neither beaten nor tied, they will be singing complete standstill in the first half, dominating the play all through the second quarter. But the fire wor.

A brilliant forward wall crumbled, and the 70,000 who saw the colorful "Kaydets" in their sole metropolitan appearance of the season, rose with them In the second half to yowl them on to victory. Stecker Steals Show. Aside from the brilliant play of two fine lines, a youngster almost new to Army varsity football, stole the show. Stecker, a big 170-pound halfback from Hazelton, Pa.

teamed with Tom Kilday, another big, hard-running fellow from San Antonio, Texas, to smash the Illinois line for the first touchdown in the third quarter. In the final period, when the Illinl passed in desperation, Stecker Intercepted one of Charley Hall's passes on the Illinois 45-yard line and scampered around the startled westerners to score standing up. All through the second quarter and the final half, after replacing Ken Fields, who used to play with Illinois, Stecker fought a brilliant kicking duel with Stan Rodman. Illinois' tackle, and both averaged 40 yards from the line of scrimmage. Illinl Always Dangerous.

All through the first half Illinois threatened to score one of the outstanding upsets of the season and twice In the second quarter played almost entirely in Army territory.

(A.P.) Ohio State rose to its full height today and defeated Navy, 27 to 0, playing almost perfect football and winning its most important inter-sectional victory in many years. Victory was sweet to the Buckeyes, who had lost to Northwestern and Michigan and had been tied by Wisconsin in the western conference in the last three games. Seeking their first victory of the year over a foe of their own caliber, they overpowered an over-rated Navy team, scoring in every period and showing superiority in every department of play. It was Navy's poor passing, Navy's fumbling and Navy's poor pass defense which accounted for the four Ohio touchdowns, plus Ohio's smoother, harder running attack and keener defence. The versatile Buckeye attack was engineered by Wesley Fesler, all-American end who was acting captain, signal caller, punter, passer, ball carrier and right end on defense, all in one.

Navy took the first kink-off but had to punt. Off-tackle plays from Continued on Page 4. Brill and Other Backs Play Only Half of Game But Run Foes Dizzy. Philadelphia, Nov. 8.

(A. The grecn-Jerseyed football cyclone from South Bend, rushing the colors of Notre Dame toward another national championship, leveled the ramparts of the University of Pennsylvania today with one of the greatest scoring onslaughts ever witnessed on an American college gridiron. The final score was Notre Dame, 60; Pennsylvania, 20, nine touchdowns to three. But the margin might have been 100 to 0 If the Rockne regulars had stayed in the game long enough to sustain the bewildering pace they sustained in the first half and again throughout the third quarter. Nothing like this.

Not even the famous "Warner offensive'' of 1928 has been witnessed on eastern grid-Irons since football players wore beards. Dazzles Large Crowd. It dazzled a crowd of 80.000, the greatest that ever packed Franklin field. It amazed the experts, leaving them somewhat incoherent In their search for adjectives. It left the Pennsylvania football players stunned from the absurption of probably the worst rout In the entire history of Red and Blue foot belief that Michigan met greater EDGAR.

it started a rally that ended only when it had pulled victory out of apparent defeat and preserved a record that takes rank with the best in the country. Fordham Stopped In F'lrst. Until O'Neill inserted his brilliant sprint, the Titans were badly outplayed. Only their valiant stands In "the shadows of the goal posts had enabled them to hold off the Rams' charges. One of those scor-ng drives ended on the 11-yard line when Fordham lost the ball on downs and another vanished into the crisp November air when Wis-nlewski attempted a field goal only to see hla efforts go far wide of the posts.

The Titans still were waging what appeared to be an unven battle when O'Neill suddenly turned the tide and threw consternation into the ranks of the invaders. Coming in fast near the side lines, he grasped a flat pass, intended for Murphy just as he stepped across the 2f-yard line. Tucking the ball into his arms the Titan halfback was away. Down the side lines, barely a foot Inside the playing field, he ran, passing one would-be tackier after another until only Fisher and Picculewicz stood between him and the goal line. lie Outruns Kivals.

Feinting his tacklers out of position, O'Neill cut back, reversed the field and outran all pursuers to the final mark. It was the givatest run he ever had turned loose and put a new complexion on the tame.

Harvard had deception in her attack and hard-running backs in Schereschewskv and Crirkard and 41-0 plastering admimstereo Dy ru-die Kaw and Cornell nine year3 ago in the mud, but the only thing that saved the Quakers from a worse licking today was the fact that vnire name's recular3 played only the praises of Johnny Janis, a substitute back, who lifted them from the shadows of defeat late in the final period through the medium of two touchdowns. Stolen Pasg Counts. The first came after a steady march from deep in enemy territory and culminated when he circled the left side of the Detroit line. Then he came back and completed the job, when he grabbed a long pass from Fisher right out of the arms of a horde of Titans and stepped four yards over the line for the touchdown that was to decide the game. Until Janis turned the tide of battle, the crowd, numbering more than 18,000, sat back in the stands hoping against hope that it would witness an upset and that Detroit would win.

These hopes were given birth when Bill O'Neill, rangy Titan halfback, intercepted a forward pass midway in the second quarter and raced 75 yards for a touchdown. They were raised even higher as the men of Dorais turned hack every thrust during the first half and continued their dogged battle through the third period. But hopes that were high then, sank soon after Janis entered the game. He seemed to put new life into the Fordham eleven and about half the game. Newman Again Huguley.
