26 S SPORTS. McMILLIN CROSSES GOAL ON A DASH FOR 31 YARDS Lone Touchdown Comes on His Brilliant Feat in Third Quarter—Kentuckians’ Fine Defense Baffles Crimson By the Associated Press. C Colonel AMBRIDGE, Mass., October 29—The south was victorious at the Stadium today. Men from Centre College of Kentucky, “Praying and foot ball players of high degree, with “Bo” McMillin driving them on, defeated the Harvard eleven by a score of 6 to 0. The representatives of the smallest college on the Crimson schedule had accomplished what no other team had been able to do in forty years—defeat Harvard in an intersectional battle.

It was a brilliant plece of foot ball work, calling into play all the ele- ments of early interference, straight arm evasion, change of pace, slanting runs and forward dash. For yards Mc- Millin raced within inches of the edge of the playing field, but always in- side, and his touchdown was unques- tioned. The fallure of Bartlett to complete the touchdown with a goal, left the nargin of victory McMillin's alone.

With the sound of the final whistle, Referee “Tiny” Maxwell picked up the pigskin, turned to Centre's acting captain and said: ¥ “Mr. McMillin, here's your ball. McMillin took it with hasty thanks, @snced up the fleld with it, then turn- €a back and was overtaken by fellow layers who kissed his cheek, raised Bim “on ‘thelr shoulders and carried him into a massing crowd that soon Rumbered hundreds. Kentuckians;Better Team. Although Harvard in the fourth period had planted the ball on Cen- tre's threshold, three yards from the goal. only to have it called back to the 32-yard line because of an off-side play, there was no question that the Kentuckians were the better team. “Hob” Fisher, coach of the Harvard team that won last year and of the team that lost today, paid the tribute, where he said it was due. “I extend my heartiest congratula- tions to the Centre College team.” he said to the Associated Press after the | game. “They played a clean game, a good game, and showed that they were a_very well drilled team. In * McMillin Centre had & man who ‘wasy probably the hardest in the eountry to stop. The Harvard men in teday's game gave the best they had.” The game marked the second of the séason’s defeats of the famous eastern university _elevens, Chicago having won from Princeton last week. After years of virtually unbroken victories by eastern elevens these defeats were avcepted by followers of —foot ball with a nation perspective as an in- dication that the gospel and practice of the gridiron game were having a greater spread than ever before in sections removed from the scene of its origin and greatest development. No Monopoly on Game. Centre College in winning today ehowed that an institution with a few hundred students could cope In modern foot ball play with one of eeveral thousand _undergraduates; that a team of comparatively recent glevelonment could win from one with arvard’s gridiron tradition and the ‘cqaching system behind it. The team that faced the Southerners at the out- t was not the same varsity eleven that_will line-up against Princeton and Yale, but most of the first-string ‘Harvard players got into the game before it was over. =The Centre College team of today was a _far more finished eleven than that of a year ago, its men drilled in line play, expert in interference, equipped with plays that carried to ut of the game late in the third | interferer. In every position he was master, and his play was a big factor in Centre's triumph. _—— GAME TO CALIFORNIA. PORTLAND, Ore., October 29.—The University of California gridirop war- riors defeated Washington Sta® Col- lege here today, 14 to 0. Superior kicking and marvelous end runs of Halfback Toomey, who scored both touchdowns, were features.

He outpunted Durant, the Iilini booter, throughout and scored Michigan's lone tally near the end of the first half when he kicked from placement on the 15-yard line. Michigan romped on to the fleld the favorite and set out to rush the II- linl. Coach Zuppke's men, however, played safe, forcing Michigan to punt frequently. Forward pass attempts failed to help Michigan, and it was not until Cappon started a rally in midfield that the Yost men started moving.

GOLDEN TORNADO RUNS INTO A REAL CYCLONE N EW YORK, October 29,—Georgia‘ Tech foot ball team, the much vaunted Golden Tornoda, settled down to a gentle breeze early in its game with Penn State here today, while the Quaker eleven, after being scored on soon after the battle opened, assumed the propor- tions of a ground-gaining cyclone a gridiron down to a 28-to-7 defeat. For the first few minutes of the game it looked as though Tech's pow- erful offensive would drive straight through State. the southern attack, having gotten the ball some 50 yards from the State goal, moved forward with a fine display of speed. After a number of downs, Barron fought his way across the line for Tech's only touchdown of the game. i When the teams lined up Tech kicked off to Killinger on his own 15- yard line and the speedy Penn State ran eighty yards for a touchdown, tying the score. Throughout the remainder of the game Killinger and his cohorts dom- inated the situation, their efforts be- ing far more productive than those of Barron and Harlan, the giants of Georgia, whose feats on southern flelds had become legendary. Not only did Killinger outdo the best of every other player on the fleld, but State similarly outdid the efforts of “Tech. Gaining the ball on downs in mld- fleld early in the second quarter, State slowly but surely marched to a touch- down, Wilson making the final dash for the score. Along in the latter part of the third quarter, Tech got off a bad punt from behind its own goal and it was State’s ball on the Georgian's 25-yard mark. Line plays, with a pass from Killin- ger to Hufford mixed in, soon sent the oval across the line, Lightner making the counter. Wilson was the most prominent factor in State’s final marker in the fourth quarter. He contributed a dash for 25 yards that put the ball within scoring distance and shortly afterward went across the last chalk Ilne. ! The Georgians brought up a bewil- dering array of shifts and double and triple passes, but they were effective only sporadically after the first period. Several times the Georgians violated the principles of orthodox foot ball by using the forward pass deep in their own territory, and once they lost the ball on downs in mid- fleld when a pass falled on the fourth down. It seemed that the southerners had specialized on offense, while State struck a balance on offensive and de- tensive superiority and_ the tremen- dmu‘l pressure which Killinger ex- erted. —_— DAVIDSON TIES RICHMOND. RICHMOND, Va., October 29.—Trail- ing the University of Richmiond for three-quarters of the game here today, Davidson College opened up an aerial attack in the final period of the con- test and by registering two touch- downs saved itself from defeat, The score was 14 to 14. The contest was one of the hardest fought ever played on a Richmond gridiron and was featured by the marvelous comeback of the Carolinians. — SEWANEE IS WINNER.

Pennsylvania played hard and well, but the first few minutes Pittsburgh was in action left no doubt as to the result. Davies, Pittsburgh left half- back, scored the first touchdown in the first ten minutes of play and in the same period Hewitt fell over the Iine after Holloran had advanced the ball to Pennsylvania’s 2-yard line by a forward pass. A double pass, Davies to Holloran, and a run by Hewitt accounted for Pittsburgh's third touchdown, which came in the second period.

NAVY USES MANY MEN T0 BEAT BETHANY, 210 ANNAPOLIS, Md,, October 29.—The Naval Academy won from Bethany here this afternoon, 21 to 0, all the points being made in the first half. The work of the varsity combination, which was unbroken oxly during the 1|firgt quarter and part of the second, indicated that there had been no retrogression in the speed, accuracy and strength of the team which de- feated Princeton two weeks ago. The Navy started without Hamil. ton, a regular baok, and Taylor, regu- lar right end, and was not so well supplied with high-grade backfield substitutes as usual, several good men being on the hospital list. The )changes were made so early and so thoroughly that the team’s punch' i | weakened -greatly, and _ Bethany easily halved the honors of the sec- og | ond half. - During the first half it WEST POINT RUNS WILD AGAINST SUSQUEHANNA WEST POINT, N.

Centre Downs Harvard, 6-0 : Penn State Routs Georgia Tech : G. U. Is Winner Over G. W. U. HILLTOP TEAM IS GIVEN BATTLE BY HATCHETITES Blue and Gray’s 28 Points Are Earned by Hard- est Kind of Foot Ball—More Than 7,000 Witness Contest. { BY JOHN B. KELLER. A S expected, Georgetown’s well balanced cleven took the measure of the George Washington team at American League Park yester- day afternoon in the first foot ball game held between represent- atives of these universities since the fall of 1916, but the Hatchetites were not routed, by any means. Th students of the contending instituti e more than 7,000 spectators, mostly ons, were well entertained, for the Hatchetites were fighting furi_ously every minute of the engagement and Georgetown had to put forth its best efforts to achieve its 28-to-0 victory. All of the scoring was done by thel Hilltoppers' first-string combination. Kenyon contributed the initial touch- down In the opening quarter, while McQuade made another in the second period and two more in the third. Georgetown sent in practically a team of substitutes during the fourth period, but it found the task of cross- ing the Hatchetite goal too formi- dable to accomplish. Made 22 First Downs. The Hilltoppers easlly outrushed their opponents, reglstering twenty- two, first downs against two credited to €ne Hatchetites. These numerous gains were the results of Iienyon's smashes into the Buff and Blue for- ward bulwark, McQuade's sharp thrusts Into the line and es around ends and Flavin's sweeping flank sprints. The forward pass also wasy effectively employed, two of them giving the Hilltoppers touchdowns. But these brilliant ball runners found the going difficult inside George Washington's 30-yard line. Omce in the first period the Blue and Gray swept through the field for 30 yards, only to have its advance checked by the sturdy Hatchetite for- wards. In the second period another corgetown attuck was halted at the 25-yard line, and in the fourth George Washington, battling desperately within half a yard of its goal, took the ball on downs. The Hatchetites were rather weak at tackling in midfield, but they hit surely and hard whenever George- town threatened seriously. Had it had an offensive commensurate with its defense, George Washington prob- ably would have dented the Blue and Gray line more effectively. Its only real drive in the game occurred just before the close of the first half. Then, with three rushes and a for- ward pass, the Buff and Blue took the ball from its 20-yard line to its 41- yard line. McQunde Is the Star. McQuade, Georgetown’s stocky half- back, was the outstanding figure of the fray. His startling catches of for- ward passes, hearty slams into the Hatchetite line and spectacular end runs contributed greatly to George- town's success. Flavin, Kenyon, Du Four and Malley, other Georgetown backs, also played well. Of the Blue and Gray linesmen, Comstock, at left guard, and Florence, at left end, were especially good. Several George Washington men kept themselves in the limelight b their excellent work. Ptak, rangs left end, was in practically every play, and more than made good. Jawish, Line-Up nnd Summary.
