SPORTS SECTION The Swundy Stad Tennis and Golf Part 5—4 l_’-gel WASHINGTON, Marylan R >4 Harvard FACH TEAM SCORES: Terrapins Duplicate Pass ’ That Beat Navy—Kelly’s Run Saves Wildcats. BY R. D. THOMAS. TWIN of the charge of A gridiron dynamite thaf blew up the Navy a week previous was set off by the University of Maryland yesterday to save the day in a momentous struggle with the Wildcats of O Kentucky. ‘The Ola Line stalwarts took the pounding of their brave young lives from the biggest foot ball team to invade metropolitan Washington in a decade but left the field of battle at College Park richly recompensed with a 6-; deadlock, the résult of two raising touchdowns. Maryiand won its points with a scin- tillating triple pass that was almost & carbon copy of the play that beat Navy It gained 45 yards, about 30 of which the ball spun 1n a high trajectory from the palm of George Chalmers, th> same halfback who made ihe victorious heave against the Middies. In this instance, however, it was Jack Norris instead of Al Pease who gathersd in the oval and Taced to the goal. It wa: a narrowly timed maneuver, for less than a_minut> after Chalmers missed a place-kick for the extra point the whistl> blew ending the half. Wildeats Get Even. The retaliating blow was struck by Kentucky in the third quarter in the form of a 48-yard run by Shipwreck Kelly, which placed the oval 7 yards from the goal, a few seconds later to be carried across by Cecil Urbaniak, much- touted candidate for all-America dis- tinction. Big Bud Davidson emerged from a guard position to try for the victory-potent added point.” but his place-kick sailed wide of the left goal post Maryland strove against heavy odds and needed the favor of fortune to come away undefcated. The giants from the Blue Grass averaged fully 15 pounds mor: to the man and in one notable instance the disparity ‘was 60. This was at-center where Prank Seale held forth for Kentucky with 220 pounds of perfectly geared foct ball machinery. ‘The like of him for siz> and effective- ness hasn't been noted in this vicinity since Babe Connaughton's day &t Georgetown. Terrapins Seize Breaks. Kentucky scored 17 first 263 yards from scrimmage against 157 but when it made mistakes the enter- prising Terrapins were quick to take | advantage and when the Wildeats threatened to score, which they did on four occasions, the Old Liners fought like cornered panthers. As the battle drew to a close it seemed dame fortune would step in and settle the issue but exercised sex prerogative and wouldn't make up her mind. Each team was presented an opportunity to score in. the final period and both chances avere dissipated by passes that grounded in the end zones. Maryland had attempted, in the pre- vious quarter, to turn the tide with a drop-kick by Chalmers, whose punting many times had warded off disaster. ‘The chunky halfback got off a boot from the 25-yard line which appeared perfectly aimed but in its way was the prodigious_chest of the charging Seale, or was it Walrus? A Team of Giants. At the outset there were few among the 7,000 present who were nct so im- pressed with the size and power of the Kentucky team as to wonder only how Jarge would be the score in its favor. It was not until the second period that Maryland was able to make a first down. The game was only & few minutes old when the Wildeats were deep in Mary- land territory. ~ Davidscn recovered a punt, fumbled by Poppelman, on the Terrapin 30-yard line but despite a 7- yard gain by Jack Phipps, who out- shone Urbaniak and was almost as effective throughout as Kelly, the Wild- cats were held for downs with the goal | 23 yards distant. Later in the period Maryland suffered the first of a series of almost ruinous/ casualties when Al Woods, star of the Navy game, was knocked cold and out of the day's business. Woods' righi leg was lamed and he was severely shaken up. cecond period by Ed Keenan, with a broken nose. Chalrers and other Terrapins re- ceived lesser but painful injuries. Phipps' Fumble Costl Kentucky was headed for what ap- peared to be a sure touchdown in the second quarter when Phipps fumbled on Maryland's 14-yard line and Quar- terback Joe Settino recovered for the Terrapins. On the next play Bozie Berger rounded his own left end for a 12-yard gain and Maryland’s initial first dow It went for little, however, for a play or two later Poppelman fumbled and Tate Duff, a snappy end, retrieved for Kentucky on Maryland’s 25-yard stripe. This time the Wildcats were held for downs 17 yards from the goal when Norris got in some healthy de- fensive licks. A poor punt by Kelly turned out to be the big break for Maryland. The ball went outside on Kentucky's 45- vard line when, a sizable boot might have held the Terrapins well within their own territory. As it was, Mary- land chose this spot to pull its coup. Charlie May took the ball from center, feinted & run around his own right end and tossed to Chalmers, headed in the opposite direction. In the mean- time several eligibles were far down the fleld, Norris near the right side- line. Chalmers' toss was well timed, but Norris was harried by two Wildcats and was forced to make & difficult catch, taking the ball over his shoulder. Kelly preceded his long run by one of 10 yards. When he got loose on the second spurt the field was by no moans clear. The Shipwreck ran a jigsaw course for about 20 yards and then straightened out. He would have reached the goal but for Paul Kiernan, | whose speed was greater for a second or two than that of the Wildcat, whose pace in track togs has been clocked at 9.6 for the century.

CORNELL CRUSHES Powerful Red Team Plays Brilliantly Al Way in | Scoring Victory. By the Associated Press, THACA, N. Y, October 17.—Gll Dobie’s two galloping Italians, Bart Viviano and John J. Ferraro, collaborated today in leading Cor- nell's big red team to a crushing 33-to- 10 vietory over the Princeton Tigers. Eighteen thousand spectators sat in a cold drizzle to watch the Red eleven, gathering momentum . as it moved along, score in the opening minutes of play and then completely outclass its op- ponents in the last two periods. The defeat was the most telling suffered by a Princeton machine in the past 40 years. Back in 1890, the | records disclose, Yale ran up a 32-to-0 | score on & weak Tiger team. Cornell’s brilliant attack eclipsed that by a sin- | gle point today. But for a valiant | Princeton stand in the closing minutes | of play it might have been worze. | It was Cornell's fourth decisive tri- umph of the season. | In holding Princeton to four first downs and twice halting Coach Al Wittmer's eleven inside its own 10-yard line, Cornell’s defense proved more than capable. Ferraro, hard-driving fullback, ac- counted for three touchdowns, one of them coming on a dazzling 49-yard run in the final period. Viviano, halfback, | scored once on a 20-yard dash through the center of Princeton's heavy line downs | and Kline scored the other when he | against six for Maryland and covered | intercepted a wayward pass and ran 40 yards without being touched. | Princeton, its running atttack piled up at the line of scrimmage most of the way and its passing attack its only method of progression, made only two scoring threats. Just before the first period ended, Draudt, a substitute back, intercepted a Cornell pass and ran it to his op- ponents’ 17-yard line. The Tigers failed, however, on Cornell's 9-yard mark. gain, just before the final gun, Pfinceton ‘opened up with a passing | attack from midfield and, on two pretty | heaves from Purnell to Johnson, sailed | down to Cornell's 10-yard mark.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EST POINT, N. Y, Oc- tober 17.—Due chiefly to the extraordinary ver- satility of Capt. William Barry Wood, jr., Harvard came from behind today to conquer Army, 14 to 13, in a spectacular | game that moved the Crimson to | | the front ranks of Eastern cham- | plonship contenders. | Trailing by two touchdowns af- | | ter the first period, Wood direc- 'ted a brilliant attack that over- | | came the Cadets in the second | | period. His bullet-like passes led | |to a brace of touchdowns by ! | Bernie White and then the slimi | Crimson captain playedl the stel- | | lar role in a defense that repulsed | Army’s desperate last-half threats to regain the lead. Wood took command of the situation ih the second quarter after Arry's light cavalry backfield, featuring Ray Stecker | of Hazelton, Pa, had romped to two| touchdowns. The crowd of 26,000 that | packed Michie Stadium and set a record | for West Point rocked the old fortifica- | tions above the Hudson as the Cadets | appeared to be on their way to a rout. | Stecker scored the first Army touch- down on a 34-yard cut-back and Sheri- dan, an end, accounted for the next | one as he pounced on Stecker's fumble across the Crimson goal line. Stecker missed one of his Kicks for the extra point, but the big lead looked safe and the star halfback was withdrawn with his running mates at the outset of the second quarter. | “Breaks” are With Harvard. | _This was the signal for Wood to turn the tice. With the ald of two big “breaks,” some great running by Jack Crickard and Bernie White, the Harvard leader put on a show that dazzled the big_throng. | The first of these “breaks” was a penalty against the Army that forced Ken Fields to punt from back of his own goal line, instead of having the ball well up the field. From the 30- yard line Wood engineered a quick Scoring drive. His pass to Crickard put the ball on Army's 4-yard line and on the second buck White scored. | Here Wood pulled the smartest play of the game. He was set to drop-kick for the extra point, but the pass was low and he fumbled. Quickly recover- | ing and then dodging Army tacklers, he | raced around his left end to cross the line for the point that later proved de- cisive. The second Harvard touchdown came quickly. Again an Army penalty, 15 vards for holding, enabled Harvard to gain the ball on the Cadet 36-vard line White. on the next play, grabped Wood's flat pess on Army's 9-yard stripe an scored easily, After which the captain drop-kicked for the point that put Har- vard in front. Great on Defense, Too. Wood, having won the game with his | passing, kicking and quick thinking, | saved it with two spectacular defensive plays in the last period. The first was when he tackled Paul Johnson, Cadet halfback, from behind after this flashy boy from Ashland, | Ohio, had gotten into the clear. John son covered 58 yards before he was | hauled down by Wood on Harvard's 2: vyard line. Johnson got away later for | another wild gallop on a pass from Fields, gaining 39 yards, but with minute to play Wood intercepted Fields’ | next pass and returned the ball 1o Army's 36-yard line. | | Harvard's rangy line outcharged and outplayed the Cadet forwards, despite the great, tackling of Capt. Price of the | Army. Twice, however, the Soldiers | held for down inside their 5-yard line | at the outset of the game and again in | | the third period. | Harvard registered 19 first downs to | | 10 for Army, but the Cadets outrushed | their foes, 262 yards to 203. Wood com- pleted five passes for gains of 119 yards, | | while Army completed tw» for gains of | | 78 _yards. The victory preserved Harvard's rec- ord of never being beaten at West Point.

Some Terrapins Not So Slow Ones Out at Maryland U. BY TOM R. CATCH-EM NAPPING BYRD'S Terrapins snoozed a slight bit themselves yester- day afternoon at Curley’s play- ground and when they awakened there was Urbaniak, one of the invading Wildcats, heaving and panting with the necessary 6 points to make the game an even-Stephen Kentucky- Maryland affair. Outside of that bit of business the Old Liners’ sparlking defensive work was as beautiful as you would want to fasten a cold-bleared eve upon. It ment of the combat. until those few moments of lapse during the third chukker. ‘Toss up your hat for Shorty Chal- mers when looking for the afternoon's bright spots. That boy made himself so important on the field of battle that when he walks in as company some one ought to d him two chalrs. Shorty can wing the ball to an end's vest pocket without asking the shortest route. He can detour the leather grape- fruit past 11 boulevard stops without getting & bump in his fenders; he can send that ball as straight as a second looey on parade, and make it stick like a bad rumor. Yessir, when he let a pass go to Norris yesterday to give Maryland its only points it appeared as if it was| going down the Washington and Bal- timore Boulevard for an afternoon’s ride in the Fall air. But did it? Nope; when it came circling down on Jack Norris' third vest button, reading from left to right, it kgnew it arrived where it had been sent. ‘Which would have given any one man the nomination. But Chalmers was just dealing in a little sideline. His real work was out on the skirmish grounds, doing as sweet a plece of blocking, tack- | ling and general defensive work as the Maryiand bench has seen or will see no matter how far back it goes to re- mind the customer of its former il- lustrious greats. ‘Where the roughest action took place from beneath a wad of arms, legs and heads would finally come number 45, a little battered but always with his back to the exits. And while Colonels were laying plans to stop Chal- mers from here to Baltimore, Paul Kier- nan, the fast-toed Washington back, usually stepped into the picture to rifle the Wildcat eleven of a handful of yardage. Kiernan not only carrjed the leather splendidly, but he was alert on the defense. upsetting a Cat ball car- rier and then recovering before Ken- tucky could say Looeyville. Shipwreck Kelly is just that. He is the most nimble-footed side line scooter in college foot ball. Hap Hardell, the Tech coach, with a iir of glasses fastened on fleeing Kelly, argues that the fastest Wildcat is twins, Are those Kentuckians tough? The game had not gone far before the Old Line forwards were tottering from the constant attempts of the Colonel backs to pound through. Woods, playing a splendid defensive game in Maryland's backfield, was carried off. Keen was as- sisted off the fleld and a half dozen other Old Line men teetered and tot- tered around after a Kelly offensive. Aside from another Maryland's dangerously long passes and Kelly's break around end, the battle was one between a courageous Old Line set of forwards and a hard-fighting Kentucky team bent on tearing it down that Urbanik, Phipps or Kelly could streak through. En masse, Byrd's forward wall could have stopped Pepper Martin. Only when the enemy forced it to string out on defense did the Wildcat add to his yardage.

By the Assaciated Press HICAGO, October 17.—The | fond dreams of Amos Alonzo Stagg, 69-year-old dean of America's foot ball coaches, to conquer Yale on the gridiron crashed to earth to- day. Yale. playing for the first time on Midwestern soil, as a tribute to Stagg, its most illustrious alum- nus, crushed Stagg's hopelessly outclassed University of Chica- go eleven, 27 to 0, before 35,000 spectators. It was a complete rout for the Maroons, who were outcharged, out- in everything except courage. They never threatened and never penetrated beyond Yale's 34- yard line. The Maroon eleven, the fortieth team that Stagg has coached, trying its hardest for the “grand old | man™ of the gridiron, but was over ‘whelmed. Leaving no doubt of its superiority, Yale crashed over with four touch- downs, scoring the last two in final | minutes of play. Booth Arouses Yale. After a scoreless first period, the spirit of fight was instilled into the | Elis by the appearance in the game of their captain and star, Albie Booth. After Booth entered the conflict the re- sult was never in doubt. He tossed long and accurate forward passes and figured in the first two touchdowns. ‘With the game tucked away, he retired in favor of Bob Lassiter, who carried on by smashing across with a third touchdown. Replacements, eager to show their wares. scored the fourth against the tired and battered Maroons in_the last 60 seconds of play. Perhaps that scoreless first period, with his son, Paul Stagg, leading the Maroons from quarterback, may have given the “old man” hope that his team had a chance, but Booth, one of the dramatic stars of the game, raced onto the field at the start of the ond period, replacing Crowley at left half for the Elis. He supplied the punch and - the confidence Yale evidently needed. He played a smashing game, running back kicks, intercepting passes and tossing them as he raced all over the fleld. The first touchdown came at the start of the second period, with the ball on the 11-yard line. Taylor, the Blue's big right halfback. picked up a vard and Booth swept to the Chicago 3-yard line on an indirect pass from Taylor. On the next play ti procedure was reversed, with Taylor running across the gridiron and diving over the line in a corner of the field for a touchdown. Booth successfully drop-kicked for the extra point. Pass Brings Touchdown. In the third period Booth started | throwing passes. finally shooting & long one to Barres, Yale end, who plucked |1t out of the air on the 15-yard line and raced across Chicago's goal for the second marker. Booth’s attempt to drop kick for the added point, how- ever, was blocked, making the score Yale, 13; Chicago, 0. Brandishing a powerful offensive that found the Maroons tired and weary in the fourth pericd, Yale wound up itg scoring rout by registering a pair of touchdowns with swift thrusts through the line and sensational forward passes. Lassiter displayed great powers as a line smasher by battering his way over the tackles to Chicago’s 2-yard line, and then darting around right end to score. M. Willlamson, another Yale substitute, drop kicked the goal. Reserves Make Score. ‘There was only a few minutes left to play when the Yale second stringers swept down the field with forward passes. Bachman, a substitute full- back, heaved long toss to Madden, another replacement, who missed a touchdown by stepping cut of bounds on the 15-yard line. Heim then passed to Bachman, who ran across the goal Sullivan drop-kicked for goal which made it Yale, 27; Chi- cago, 0. Chicago never was dangerous. The Maroons once got as far as the 34- yard line in the second period. but Booth put an end to their feeble threat by intercepting a pass and ending any hope that Chicago might have had of scoring. Yale made 17 first downs to 5 for the Maroons. In scrimmaging the Elis gained 224 yards to 43 for Chicago.

The first stringers added another 6 points and the final score was Pitt, 32; Reserve. 0. Western Reserve was entirely on the defensive, and only in the final quar-| ter did the Ohioans make any substan- tial gain. A 30-yard advance on a pass, Matesio to Seekay, was the visitors’ principal offensive sally. Luch, Pitt's fullback, who did yeo- man work against West Virginia last week, was Pitt's big gun.
