North Dakota comes here to play George Washington Thursday, Loyola is to be Catholic University’s guest the same day, while Hopkins entertains Maryland in Baltimore. University of Detroit is to be Georgetown's opponent Saturday. Having come out of difficult games of last week, local schools seem to have plenty of work cut out for them for the next few days. Or rather, to speak more accurately, they probably have plenty to think about, because after the hard games in which three of them took part Saturday, they ought not to spend much time at hard werk before | they take the field again Thursday. 'HAT Loyola team of Baltimore ap- parently was not a flash and not lucky when it held the Westcrn Maryland eleven to a tie three weeks ago. If it had been it would not have been able to play Holy Cross to a vir- < tual standstill Saturday up in Worces ter. Holy Cross was able to take the measure of Loyola by a score of only 16 to 14, and when it is considered that Holy Cross has been one of the strong teams of the East the signif- icance of such strength is not lost by Catholic U. 4 The Brooklanders probably will have 8 much harder game Tbursday than they had against Providence College, and in the light of comparison with Holy Cross they may consider them- selves rather lucky to get away with the long end of the score. EORGETOWN apparently will face a much stronger Detroit eleven than it expected to. The Detroit outfit has not been showing such strength this year as it did at times last, but that it was able to trim Michigan State shows what Georgetown has in store in the way of a hard struggle.

Also _the long trip being made by North Dakota, coupled with two games in five days, should redound to George ‘Washington’s advantage. Maryland will enter its game with ‘Hopkins a favorite if there is any virtue in c the records of two elevens. However, that may mean something and it may not, as Hopkins usually keys up all season to takc a crack at the Old Liners. And often, even when they have not been strong enough to win every game but one, as they have this year, they have given the State ‘university terriffic battles. F the numiber 13 had real lack of luck | attached to it. then things would be just too bad for the three local col- Jeges that played Saturday. George- town, Catholic University and Maryland ach scored 13 points in winning their mes with Villanova, Providence and ‘Washington and Lee.

Ingram | has had a fair season, outside the game | with Stanford, but the defeat of Stan- ford gives him the most brilliant ending California_has had in nearly a decade. Seven years is a long time to wait for & victory in foot ball, and when it finally came, it probably was all the sweeter. | And.’ incidentally, Ingram will, and | £hould, get all the more credit. 'ARVARD had a brilliant season prior to last week, but no matter what the team accomplished before that the result against Yele brings gloom at Cambridge. Probably no other two schools in the country attach so much importance to one contest as Yale and Harvard do to their's. The natural result of that is exultation for one and the depths for the other at the end of each season. Southern California’s defeat of Notre Dame creates for the Rose Bowl at Pasadena on New Year day what should be one of the most attractive games of a decade, if Tulane defeats Washington State and Louisiana State, which it seems likely to do. Southern California already has been invited to glly in that game, and Tulane probably will be. Tulane, according to two Southern coaches, who hdve seen it play, has the best eleven in the country barring none. One Southern coach made the state- ment that the only eleven with a chance to beat the New Orleans school was Notre Dame. ‘o _that now probably be added Southern California, did not quite match, either defensively margin of scoring power. the judgment upon which this criticism was much as dead weight had he been permitted to remain in the game.

BY LAWRENCE PERRY. EW YORK.November 23.—Yale's victory over Harvard at Cam- <ridge was due to a technical excellence which the Crimson or on offense. Harvard played a six-line defense with a two-two-one backfield arrange- ment, and her plan of protecting against forward passes involved, in addition to backfleld defense, the rushing of the passer by the tackles. In this duty Hardy, Harvard's left tackle, performed as brilliantly as was in human power to do, and when he left the game ut- terly spent in the last period Yale flashed through to victory with a rush- ing, passing and drop-kicking attack which resulted in the slender 3-point ‘When Hardy went out, some criticism of coaching judgment was heard, but based was much more faulty, inas- Hardy had played himself com- pietely off his feet and would have been 11 passes and completed 2, which means not so much for afternoon, Harvard as for her gifted left tackle. Pass Proves Decisive, One of Yale's successful passes was inconsequential in its results, but the second one, bringing the ball to the Crimson 12-yard line, led directly to Booth’s fatal field-goal shot. Harvard’s defense against running plays was not so good as Yale's, but still good enough to have held the Eli's scoreless, had it not been for Booth's toe. On attack, the Crimson could do very little against Yale's spirited de- fense. The Blue departed from the Notre Dame formula on defense to the extent of playing a 3-2 beckfield ar- rangement at all times save when it was almost certain that no pass would be attempted. At such times the uswal box was employed with the last pair not quite so close up as in the South Bend scheme. As for Yale, her rushing attack was not too impressive. Harvard played a six-man line defense all afternoon and held the Eli's safe. The interference | showed no special gift in taking out | tacklers, or blocking in the line. There | were times, indeed many times, when the New Haven offense looked letharglc, as though that three weeks' respite from hard foot ball had let the attack down somewhat. Still, it was better rushing than Harvard did. Use “Multiple Kick.” After nearly two periods of rather dangerous inferiority in punting, Wood equalized matters by having Crickard hold the ball and thus booting it from a position about 2 feet in the air. Years ago, when Foster Sanford was coaching Rutgers, he devised this idea. He called it the “multiple kick.” and the .writer remembers going with him to the office of Ted Coy, through whom he sought to have the kick used, and it seemed ironical last Saturday to have B]lrry ‘Wood springing it against the Blue. b ‘Wood left thlnfflme still the happy, high-headed warrior, but he was pretty | generally blotted out as a hero. Yale's tackles were altogether too rapacious, | not only on_ running plays—wherein Right End Barres, too, shone—but against laterals, which foozled badly. save for two exceptions. Why they were used as much as they were prob- ably was due to the last-minute ap- pearance of Amold Horween on the Harvard coaching bench. All in all, Yale outplayed Harvard generally, but not by a wide margin, but none the less clearly in all de- partments. She carried the ball more successfully, made one forward pass which indirectly won the day and did more sclentific punting. It was time Yale won from the Crimson, and Har- vard was an prompt to congratulate her as any one.

Several weeks ago Apaches and Mohawks battled to a 7-7 tie. In the other league game yesterday Ceitics and Irvingtons of Baltimore struggled to a 0-0 tie in the Maryland metropolis. Mohawks made a determined but futile fight to overcome Apaches in the late minutes yesterday, once reaching the Little Indians’ 20-yard line, but the Big Indians did not yleld. Both teams scored in the first quar- ter. Leon Fouts, over whose eligibility there was a row recently, counted the Hawks' lone touchdown when he plunged over from the 1-foot line. A 15-yard pass from Tracey to Antos brought the Apache touchdown. Byrne lunged over for Apaches’ win- ning marker in the second period after a pass from Dugan to Tracey had put the ball on the Hawks' 10-yard stripe. Byrne’s drop-kick for the extra point was good.

Prank Murray, Marquette's success- THE SPORTLIGHT BY GRANTLAND RIC Three Minutes to Play. UPPOSE some one wrote a mo- tion picture scenario with these ingredients: A little foot ball star has been S smothered by his traditional rivalsy through four years, from freshman on through senior play. He is taken out of the game in the third period and stuck back in again in the fourth—and still nothing happens. There are just three minutes to play as one of his mates blocks a kick on the 45-yard line. | Then (according to the scenario) the little star hits the line for 5 yards, throws a magnificent forward pass for 30, runs the ball into position, kicks the winning field goal and a minute later kicks out of bounds along the enemy's 5-yard line to bottle said enemy up for good and all. The return answer would likely be, “This is a bit too thick. We like good melodrama, but this is overdoing it.” Yet the above is precisely what hap- pened to Alble Booth after waiting four years to get even with Harvard and snap the Crimson leash. As Booth sat on the Yale bench during the third period and watched the seconds and the minutes slipping swiftly by he must have decifed in his mind that the chance to get his revenge never would come. As Booth got back in the game in the fourth period and Barry Wood stood on his own 45-yard line to boot the ball into Blue territory, with only about three minutes left, Booth still must have figured that fate offered but little hope. Then Wilbur, shooting through to block and recover Wood's kick, gave the Yale captain his final chance and Booth struck three suc- cessive blows—a plunge, & pass, and the winning kick—and within the space of 60 or 70 seconds the man Harvard had stopped for so long a time was on top of the peak at last— out of bondage with one of the most thrilling moments to remember that any athlete will ever know. The Killing Thrust. OTH Harvard and Notre Dame found a field goal the killing thrust which ended their unbeaten season. In the case of Booth it took a swift, savage charge by Wilbur to bring about the big chance. A moment later it took a magnificent catch by Barre, whirling down the field at top 5 to handle Booth’s fast traveling throw. But after all he came through just in the nick of time. But fate was not yet through work- ing out the destinies of men. Only a minute or so after Booth made his winning drop-kick the same Barry Wood who had helped to crush Yale for two years lay just a yard from his own goal line, "flat on” the ground, smothered by two Blue tacklers who had charged in and broken up his final attempt to get away one more pass. So the two rivals can call it even, for while Wood has .the edge in a vic- tory way by two years to one, it is the last defeat that stings the most. Largely Defense. N the fiftieth Harvard-Yale meeting the defensive strength of both teams dominated the game. Neither at- tack could make any headway although ‘Wood and Crickard came near winning the game on the first play by & great piece of work. Wood came tearing from back of his own goal line on the kick-off as if he meant to run over the entire Yale team. but around the 12- yard line suddenly handed the ball to Crickard, who ran to Yale’s 7-yard line before the brilliant Barre hauled him down. It was the closest sort of call and fine work on the part of both Wood and Crickard. But it was about the only chance Harvard ever had with Yale's forwards and ends, plus big Crowley, blocking the road and break- ":Eu ukp almost every type of Harvard a E The Harvard defense was almost as 7. | stoutly set, but it wavered in the last few minutes just enough to give Booth his winning shot. Even this was due more to a fine offensive play rather than any weakness in the defense. Yale came out of this battle with more stars than Harvard showed—such as Dud Parker, with his magic kicking, Crowley, a marvel on defense and a good man carrying the ball; Barre, one of the star ends of the year, Wilbur and others. Crickard did a fine job for Harvard and so did Hardy at tackle. While Wood's punting ~was ful coach, never played college foot ball.

Noth- ing would work with a sweep of blue tacklers tearing the play apart before it could form and get under any head- way. On the play of the game Har- vard never had a chance after that first threatening assault, which Yale stopped abruptly around the 4-yard line. And when Parker dropped back and sent a long, spinning spiral deep into Harvard territory—one of the | great Kicks of the season—Harvard's chance to win had gone to return no more in the course of her final game.

Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, November 23.— dox, ftut the defeat of Notre Dame has served to ready puzzling complexion of the national foot ball title chase. Per- BY nsm.utn:n. It may sound like a para- complicate still further the al- haps it never will be straightened | out to every one’s satisfaction. While Notre Dame was rolling up vic- tory after vi-tory the general tendency was to consider the Ramblers the be:t in the country, taking their “suicide” schedule into consideration. But now they have fallen victim to Southern California’s tremendous power and the situation has radically changed. A glance over the foot ball map now reveals at least three teams—Tulane, Southern California and Northwest- at must be considerad, with two Tennessez and Soutehrn Metho- ot far behind. Southern Cali- fornia has come along since its open- ing game defeat by St. Mary's of Oak- land, Calif., to whip seven opponents in a row with a 1unning attack that seems unequaled anywhere in the country. Tulane has won nine games. as has while Tennessee has accounted for eight. The only blot on Northwestern's record is the score- less draw with Notre Dame early in the season. OUTHERN CALIFORNIA still must meet Washingion and Georgia be- fore entering the Rose Bowl game. If the Trojans win these two games and Tulane, probable opponent for South- ern California in the Rose Bowl, hurdles Louisiana State and Washington State. the experts may be content to award the mythical national crown to the win- ner of the New Year day classic. ‘This week's national schedule is topped by two big intersectional games in the East, tn: first pitting Notre Dame against Army at New York and the second involving Stanford and Dartmouth at Ca.nbridge. Both games will be played Saturday after "Phanks- giving day’s slate of traditional clashes. [E week's schedule in each section, with its pussible bearing on title races, can be summarized thus: East: Defeat of Harvard leaves the section without a recognized champion. Bucknell is the only undefeated team, but hardly rates with such teams as Pittsburgh, Dartmouth, Cornel and New York University. The chief games on Thanksgiving day involve Cornell and Penn, Colgate and Brown, Nebraska and Pitt and Carnegie and New York University. On Saturday intersectional games will be played between Army and Notre Dame, Stenford and Dartmoutn and Detroit and Georgetown. Prince- ton and Yale will be matched in the big “domestic” gume. South: Tulane and Tennessee, both unbeaten, will make their final con- ference starts, the former against Louisiana State Saturday and Tenncs- see against Kentucky Thanksgiving day. Vanderbilt and Alabama will meet on Thursday and Georgia and Georgia Ted::l will put on their annual duel Sat- urday. IDWEST—Regular Big Ten season has been completed. but charity games will bring out all teams. Northwestern must beat Purdue Sat- urday to clinch the championship.
