With the cool, calculating sharp- shooter, Quarterback Willlam Barry ‘Wood, jr., of Milton, Mass., dealing de- struction to Eli hopes with a spectacular attack, Harvard scored two touchdowns and whipped Yale deci- sively to the tune of 13 to 0.

IISH TAKE GANE *INFIVL QUARTR Outplayed in First Half, but Make Amazing Finish as 0-0 Tie Expected. of BY CHARLES W. DUNKLEY, Associated Press Sports Writer. | YCHE STADIUM, Evanston, I, November 22 (#).— Notre Dame, marching on to America’s foot ball | championship, defeated the hith- erto unbeaten Northwestern eleven, 14 to 0, as the seconds were clicking off precious time in the closing minutes of the game. ‘The victory was Notre Dame's eighth successive triumph, leaving only the Army and Southern California to con- = for the 1930 gridiron title. The lefeat was the first of the season for Northwestern, co-champion the Western Conference. Notre Dame, held scoreless for three periods, and with the game apparently destined to end in a scoreless tle, sud- denly exploded its irresistible force and crashed over with two _touchdowns, barely missing a third, while a crowd of 51,000 spectators sat dumfounded at the amazing finish. Northwestern, forcing Notre Dame to the defensive in the first and second periods, missed two marvelous oppor- tunities to score. Costly fumbles, with the ball inside Notre Dame's 10-yard line, ruined both chances. Breaks Big Factor.

ARMY GETS REST BEATIG URSINCS All Regulars Kept on Bench Preparing for Irish as Subs Win, 18 to 0. By the Associated Pr ICHIE STADIUM, West Point, N. Y., November 22.—The Army | today engaged in its last minor skirmish in preparation for the game with Notre Dame at Soldier Field, Chicago, next Saturday, the second and third stringers running up 18 points in' the first half to defeat Ursinus College, 18-0. If Notre Dame scouts were in the | stands today, they got little line on what | to expect next week. No regular cadet back or linesman saw service, and the cadets so clearly outclassed the little | squad from Collegeville, Pa., that they | only tried four passes and no trick plays. Touchdown Is Rushed. ‘The Soldiers’ second stringers quickly | asserted their superiority. As the game | opened, marching from their own 30- yard line to the Ursinus 25-yard line on the first five plays, they stalled there, | but it was only momentarily. Receiving a kick on their own 28-yard line, they | made a touchdown in exactly seven plays, MacWill'am, Cadet quarter, break- ing through the line for 42 yards and the score. | There was no more scoring that quar- | ter, but in the second the Cadets reg- | istered two more touchdowns. Glattly lugged the ball across from the 5-yard | line, where Army had intercepted a desperate Ursinus pass, and Marshall, | Glattly's substitute, led another advance from midfield, which finally saw him | 0 |round the Ursinus left end for the touchdown. All three tries at point after touchdown were missed. Field Goal Fails. The second half was more evenly | played, but at no time was Ursinus dan- gerous. Army tried a field goal near | the end of the game, but Broshous' drop-kick was short. MacWilllam showed himself a nice running back. Miller and Sterner played a good defensive game for Ursinus, but all their efforts at ad- vancing the ball were futile, the Army forwards sifting through frequently to spill them for losses.

EAST LANSING, Mich, November 22.—The rubber game of a nine-year foot ball rivarly between Michigan State College and University of Detroit was played to a scoreless tie as Michigan State today closed its most successfu! gridiron season in 15 years. | It was the second time this year that | Michigan State battled to a stalemate with a traditional foe. Early in the; seasop the Spartans held University of Michigan to a scorcless tie, making the only blot on Michigan’s 1930 record.

Two attempts Mrg l(d?lksdby Bob Monnett, State’s halfback, ailed. D:troit opened a heavy aerial attack in the final period but met with the same stubborn resistance State has shown all season to passing attempts. In the third period State marched down the fleld to Detroit’s 4-yard line, but lost the ball after Ellowitz was thrown for a 4-yard loss. This was the most serious threat of the game. Statistics showed State made 11 first downs to Detroit’s 2 and gained 227 yards to Detroit’s 69.

Golf and General L 2R R 2 KIRN'S LONG DASH AT START DECIDES Midshipman Back Runs 65 Yards to Touchdown in BY JOHN B. KELLER. NNAPOLIS, Md., November Third Play of Game. 22.—A Milwaukee young- ster, Bullet Lou Kirn, pro- vided an ante-climax in the gruelling foot ball tussle be- tween Navy and Maryland on Farragut Field this afternoon when in the third play after the starting whistle he tucked under his arm a pass from the Midship- men’s center, crashed through the Maryland forward wall and twisted and dodged over 65 yards of turf to cross the goal. That was the only touchdown of the day, but thrills aplenty came there- after to keep the throng of 25,000 on- lookers dizzy before Navy clinched its 6 to 0 victory. Following the score each team passed and plowed its way dangerously near its foe's final line and outside the scoring play there was_little to choose between the con- tenders at the finish. Three times after Kirn's sprint to the points the Midshipmen threatened to add to their score, but each time a desperately fl(h'-in{ band checked the onslaught when it seemed nothing could stem the attackers. Three times the gallant Old Liners thrust them- selves within Navy's 10-yard stripe only to find it impossible to make their plays click as they had during the marches through the fleld. Touchdown Dazes Throng. Navy's touchdown came so quickly that thousands did not seem to realize what had happened until the Midship- men gave their mighty cheer. Mary- land had kicked off and Navy had made an indifferent gain with its first play when the ball was passed back to Kirn. The tackle with a burst of speed, but as he passed the line of sscrimmage it ap- mzd he had been stopped when ked off balance by a diving Marylander. It seemed that most of Maryland's players thought the play had ended right there for few moved when Kirn first regained his feet and again headed for goal. Finally aroused they were on his heels, but the moment delay ’z Maryland was all Kirn needed for getaway. With his teammates speedily forming a sheltering screen Bullet Lou raced smartly toward goal, and it was with ease thatghe eluded Bozey Berger, the Maryland safety, to continue on his way across the final chalkmark. Bow- strom missed with the extra point place kick. Kirn’s touchdown dash was not his only brilliant play of the game. The Milwaukee boy was a thorn in the sides of the Marylanders most of the afternoon. He figured prominently in Navy's later drives deep into the Old Liners’ field, perhaps, gaining two- thirds of the ground Navy picked up during_the fray. Cannon and Bauer, other Navy backs, did some ball toting at times, but Kirn was head and shoulders above all others of his team in attack. Maryland Makes Threats. Apparently dazed by Navy's quick scoring the Marylanders found it diffi- cult to pull themselves together and the Midshipmen continued driving toward goal. Early in the second period it looked as though another Navy score would be registered. After Chalmers, Maryland booter, sent the ball outside at his 25-yard line, Navy with Kirn and Gannon slamming _ through, reached the 7-yard line at’first down. Here Maryland braced, however, and took the ball on downs when a Navy pass grounded. ‘The remainder of the second period was mostly Maryland’s. The Old Liners twice penetrated deeply the Midshipmen's territory only to be held at bay when it seemed about to tie the foe at least. Norris, Maryland end, re- covered a Navy fumble on Navy's 43- yard line to start Maryland on its first long drive. With a and a line play the Old Liners reached Navy's 21-yard stripe. Maryland’s air game then went awry, but a triple pass on fourth down let Berger get away to a frst down on the 1l-yard line. Three line thrusts moved play within 4 yards of goal, but here a Maryland aerial missed its mark and it was Navy's ball. Half Horn Halts Old Liners. Bowstrom’s punt was short, sendin the ball only to the 29-yard line, an Maryland headed goalward again. A line thrust by We , two , Chal- mers to Evans, a plunge by Chalmers and it was first down on the 5-yard line. Three plays into the line netted only 2 yards, however, and a fourth- down pass failed as the half-time horn blew. Navy took care of the third quarter, doing by far the greater part of ground gaining. Twice it went deep into Mary- land territory, once getting to the 20- yard stripe before being forced to kick, then moving from midfield in nine plays to a first-down on the 13-yard line. Navy plays netted but 5 yards. Bow- strom, Navy captain, fell back and essayed a placement goal from the 19- yard stripe, but the kick was low and the ball went under the cross-bar. its last threat. Bowstrom, kicking from behind his goal, sent the ball to er, who was downed on Navy's 41-yard line. Using a pass the Old Liners got a first down, then Ray Poppleman sup- (Continued on Second Page.)

HILADELPHIA, November 22. —A persistent aerial attack by Villanova clicked after a scoreless first quarter and the Wild Cats, disregarding re- peated failures, threw two dra- matic passes to beat Georgetown | University at the Municipal Sta- ! dium today, 13-0. Not more than 6,000 spectators visited the mammoth arena in South Phila- delphia and saw Villanova tab its fifth conquest of a season in which the bitter has been mixed with the sweet. The Wild Cats lost ot Gettysburg, New York University, Duke and Bucknell, but beat Lebanon Valley, Boston Col- :;xe, ‘Temple Oglethorpe and George- wn. Edward Donohue, Jim McLaughlin, Capt. Cletus Gardner and Jack High- fleld were the Villanova heroes con- nected with the successful forward pass- ing that gave Georgetown its fourth de- :zn’t of the season as against five vic- Ties. Late in the second quarter the main liners worked the ball to Georgetown's 29-yard line. Here Donohue unloosed a long forward pass that Highfield picked out of the air in commendable style for a clean catch and then with an open fleld he dusted 10 yards to score a touchdown. Capt. Gardner add= ed the extra point with a placement. The second touchdown, which came early in the third period, was even more spectacular. Georgetown had the ball and was essaying forward passes. Jim McLaughlin intercepted one thrown by King of Georgetown, that gave Villa- nova the ball in midfield. Gardner’s Brilliant Catch. hlin drew back his arm and ped the ball well ahead. All the time Capt. Gardner was making rapid down the fleld.

With the ball on the 4-yard line, King threw a forward that Danieu illegally caught out of bounds, and Villa Nova was awarded the ball on its own 20-yard line and the Wildcats never were threatened thereafter. Scalzi's kicking and passing stood out for the vanquished forces. Considering the importance of the game, the attendance was small, but the spectators were rewarded with a spirited battle replete with spectacular plays. First Period All Even. Until late in the second period, both teams played each other to a standstill. ‘The battling was so even in the first quarter that neither opponent could get inside of the 15-yard line. Donohue's long forward passes repeatedly missed the Wildcat receiver and grounded, while both .ines repulsed every attempt to crack them open. The tackling on both sides was flerce and deadly, and both teams waited for a break with the aerial game, but it never came to either in the first quarter. Until the last four minutes of play the second quarter was a repetition of the first, but finally the persistent Villa Nova air game began to ‘collect toll. Scalzi of Georgetown was required to ick and punted out of bounds to his own 45-yard line. Donohue failed with o pass and then hit the line for three yards. Next, the ball was snapped to Capt. Cletus Gardner, who went through cen- ter Mke a projectile and was not stopped until he had reached the 29- yard line. Trosky, successor to McLaughlin, tried a forward pass, but it grounded.
