BY HARRY BETLIONT.

ANN ATtEOR. Oct. 19. Michigan has no cause to celebrate victory over an ancient and respected foe tonight, for that foe, back of whom is written sparkling tradition through many years, con- 9. jr.

fa I nuered Michigan this afternoon In Michigan's picturesque stadium the Scarlet and Gray of Ohio fit-it? floated above the Maize and people saw the Wolverines, fighting determinedly to the last with the iia'l on the Buckeyes' five-yard line, yield to a superior brand of football, 7 to 0. Through the medium of a forward pass sent accurately on Its way hv Holman to Fesler, who stood behind the goal line In the second minute of the second period, Ohio scored her second conference triumph and hurled the wolverines to tneir secona aeieat. Better football games between these time-honored rivals than the prip played today have been witnessed by many of the vast throng that Voked down into the bowl's bottom this afternoon, but no gamer eleven than' that which fought for Michigan ever deserved the plaudits of the crowded stadium. 1 A 4 8L.to.Jj...'l.St AAiiiC.fc Gembis, of Michigan, on Receiving End of PENN OUTPLAYED BY GOLDEN BEARS 4. Coast Team Outpasses and Outkicks Easterners-Lorn Is Star in Game in Which Teammates HAWKEYE 'iSi Count Twice in First Half.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. The far west plucked off another eastern football scalp today when the Golden Bears of California crowned thnlr 3.000-mlle cross-country trip with a smashing 12 to 7 victory over Pennsylvania. A crowd of 70.000, nearly filling Franklin field to Its capacity, sat through a balmy afternoon as the brawny Bears outplayed, outpassed and outkicked the Quakers with Benny Lorn the kingpin of a versatile attack and Bert Schwartz, burly guard, the outstanding man In either line. It was California's third conquest of its friendly eastern rival over a period of six years and actually more convincing than, the margin of a single touchdown Indicated. With neither team yet at its peak.

It was a give-and take battU, frequently marred by penalties. Twice in a game mat was pacneu with suttlcient tiinus to diiiik mu-ftituent and contemporary, alike, to their feet, the Wolverines got to within five yards of the Ohio goal. Owe they stood within the shadows of the uprights, just three yards away. Just a little more punch, a helpful hand of any kind, and the result would have been different. How Ohio Scored.

In the same cleat marks in which Ohio made Us stand against both of those threats, the Wolverines stood their ground adamantly less than two minutes before Holman hurled that conquering pass to Kes-Iit for the only touchdown of the struggle. Michigan held for downs on the 3-yard line and, changing goals, her kicker, Whitey Simrall, punted from behind the uprights. Hurried, kicked only to the Michigan 30-yard line. There was a thrust against the line, the pass that Fesler caught right on the goiil line, and the necessary one step back of It. Barratt kicked straight and true, squarely between the uprights and over the cross bar for the extra point.

dimly, Michigan fought after that to right the wrong, but to no awiil. The Wolverine braced and fanned endless worry to their reflected foes. Then it was too late, li iwever. In the events leading up 1n the score that beat her, the Mkhigans lacked much of football jmlUh, particularly In the art of blocking and interfering. Nine passes had been tried by the Buckeyes and five were completed before the determining counter climaxed Holman's toss to Fesler.

Michigan appeared weak then against the short aerial attack of the Scarlet and Grayand It seemed civ a matter of time when the men o' Willamnn would get close enough to strike with a pass and 0 hieve the desired result.

Cambridge. Oct. 19. (A. A last-minute 40-yard pass, a scoring play, gave a gritty Harvard foot ball team a 20-20 draw with Cap tain Chris Cagle's undefeated Army eleven here today before 87,000 frenzied spectators, the largest crowd ever assembled In the Crimson's historic stadium.

Harvard gained a two-touchdown lead in the first half, only to have the sensational Cagle suddenly find himself and run wild for three trips across the Harvard goal line, the first made this season. With a minute to go the Army had a 20 to 13 lead and Harvard had the ball In midfleld. The Crlm son's "pony" backfield was In ac tion and seemed to be faltering. "Biff" Jones, the Army coach, was so sure of victory that he replaced Cagle with Hutchinson. Shifts to Laterals, I.arry Wood, the Harvard second string quarterback, had been trying to send his lightweights through a revitalized Army line and had shifted to laterals when his run ning attack failed in mldfleld.

Then he hurled a short pass to Sam Burns, a substitute end, and the play was successful because an Army player Interfered with that wingman. With the ball on Army's 40-yard line. Wood's next forward to Mays was grounded. The Army backs were playing much too close to the line on the following play, for Victor Harding, another substitute end, got behind them, raced almost to the end zone, caught Wood's beautiful aeriul and stepped over the Army's line for one of the vital touchdowns. On the try for the extra point the Army forwards threw themselves against a wall-like Harvard line as Wood coolly drop-kicked the tying tally.

Buttle In Even. The cold statistics revealed that the game was really an even and bruising battle. Both teams were penalized often, one of Harvard's being imposed for rough play. The Crimson made 13 first downs to Army's 10 and completed five out of 13 forward passes. lhe cadets made but two of their heaves good, but they evened matters by smearing Harvard's lat eral passes, the Crimson totaling but 15 yards on eight attempts.

i HOLDS ILLINI TO TIE The Californians won becausef they had much superior line play, plus more effective scoring punch. Pennsylvania, with a shifty set of backs, was always dangerous but was held In check by the superior Bear defense after holding a brief lead In the first period, gained by a goal kicked after touchdown. All the scoring was confined to the first half and the crowd had hardly settled itself when Lorn electrified the onlookers by dashing back 55 yards with the opening Penn kick-off. Within less than three minutes, California's momentum netted a touchdown, as Loin and Hicklnbotham. fullback, slnshed over the remaining 35 yards to the goal line, the latter making the scoring.

Thu Quaker attack was stopped after penetrating to the Bear 32-yard line but Lom's punt was blocked a moment later and recovered by Paul Riblett, Penn end, on tbe opposing 18-yard line. Here the Penn backs functioned beautifully, two laterai passes.
