SPORTS Yale Ties Dartmouth, 9-9, With Aerial Play in Last Three Seconds Nebraska Downs Indians, 7-0, On Score Made in 17 Seconds FRANK'S 2HEAVES GET DRAW FOREL Big Green Gets lts Points in Last Quarter—Safety in First Aids Blue. By ALAN GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor. EW HAVEN, Conn, Oct. 30.— Yale hauled itself back from the brink of the Blue's first defeat of the football season today by tying Dartmouth, 9 to 9, with only 3 seconds to go in an electrifying finish witnessed by & capacity crowd of 72,000 spectators. The Elis snatched a touchdown from the air, with a last-ditch flourish, after Dartmouth’s rugged convales- cents, getting better as the game pro- gressed, appeared to have clinched & third straight conquest of Yale with a 90-yard touchdown dash by Bob MacLeod and a field goal from the 30- yard line by Phil Dostal. Al Hessberg took two long passes from Capt. Clint Frank, Yale's all- America back, to gain 63 of the 65 yards reeled off in the closing Eli scor- ing thrust. The first was for 28 yards, the second for 35 yards as Hessberg took the ball 20 yards from the goal and shook off two tacklers to complete the scoring play. IT WAS a race against time, with the huge clock at one end of the field showing only 3 seconds remain- ing, and the Elis took full advantage of their opportunity. Gil\ Humphrey, substitute fullback, place-kicked the tying point, with Capt. Frank holding the ball. There was time only for snother kick-off before the final whistle. The first full house in Yale’s mam- moth bowl since the boom days of 1929 saw the chief contenders for Eastern “ivy league” honors, both pre- viously unbeaten and untied, put on one of the most thrilling finishes of the season. There have been bigger crowds in the stadium, but only when temporary stands were erected to handle an overflow. Balmy Indian summer weather not only produced an unexpected sellout of the perma- nent stands, but Eli officials said 10,000 spectators were turned away. Humphrey's Kick Ties. Green’s Invalids Active. DARTMOUTH'S powerful array not only manifested close to complete recovery from the epidemic of dysen- tery, which affected a dozen members of the squad the night before last, but had the Elis back on their heels most of the game. Among the Green’s reg- ulars who had been reported on the gick list only Dick Campbell, & guard, failed to start the game and he was put into the game in the last period. The others, paced by MacLeod and “wild Bill” Hutchinson, sophomore backfield ace, played nearly the en- tire game. . The heavily favored Elis, outrushed nearly 2 to 1, were saved from a de- cisive defeat mainly by the sensational punting of Fullback Dave Colwell. The longest of Colvsell'x magnificent “coffin corner” kicks traveled no less than 84 yards before caroming out on Dartmouth’s 6. It-led to the Elis’ first two points as Hutchinson, from kick formation, was tackled behind his own goal line for a safety by Johnny Miller, Yale end. MacLeod Runs 90 to Score. HIS slender margin, gained early in the second period and preserved until the final quarter, was wiped out when MacLeod intercepted one of Frank's long passes on Dartmouth’s 10-yard mark, near the side lines, and raced to a touchdown. On this 90- yard.jaunt, MacLeod cut back sharply to pick up his blockers, shot into the clear beyond midfield, and outran Colwell in a race for the corner of the scoring zone. Harrington Gates, Dartmouth quar- terback, missed his placement fry for the extra point. With it went the first of two golden opportunities that, in the light of subsequent events, would have enabled the Green to sew up the game. Another pass interception, on Which Hutchinson raced 54 yards to Yale's 22-yard line, set up Dartmouth’s sec- ond big scoring chance. In a half dozen plays, MacLeod and Hutchinson drove off tackle to withinr a foot of the Blue goal. Hutchinflon bolted across center on the second of two line plunges for what looked the pay- off touchdown, only to have an offside violation detected. Dartmouth was set back 5 yards, then 10 more on two penalties for delaying the game. Dostal Boots Geld Goal. OSTAL'S 40-yard field goal, booted from the Eli 30-yard stripe on fourth down, was salvaged from the situation. It still looked as though Dartmouth had complete control, with scarcely 2 minutes to play ‘as Yale took the next kick-off on its own 35. Frank's passes had produced such boomerangs that there was nothing more than a forlorn hope for the Blue at this point. Rushed and harassed on nearly every attempt to pass, the Eli captain let most of his tosses go without a chance to take good aim. ‘There was only & half minute to play when he completed a low throw to Hessberg, who made a great catch on Dartmouth’s 35. Two more pitches went wild, then Hessberg raced wide to grab the next throw and fight his way to a touchdown. Several Threats Fail. FRANK'S passing, all told, was good for 144 yards as he completed 9 out of 32 tosses, but Dartmouth offset this with runbacks on intercepted passes for exactly the same distance. The Green, with no kicker to match Colwell's remarkable average of 55 yards from the line of scrimmage, nevertheless outplayed the Elis thor- oughly on the ground. . Dartmouth lost the ball twice within sooring range, on the 20-yard line in the first period and the 24-yard mark in the third, but the Elis also failed to capitalize one of the big “breaks” derived from their kicking superiority. In the second period Al Wilson re- covered on Dartmouth’s 16 after Hutchinson let a punt slip through his hands. Frank passed to Johnny Miller for first down on the Green’s 4, but the Elis failed to show & scoring punch and lost the ball on downs after getting only 1 yard nearer their ob- Jective, STAUNTON ON PARADE.

HARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Oct. 30.—The University of Vir- ginia struck in the fourth period to score a 6-to-0 victory over William and Mary in a bitter struggle before a crowd of 4,500 in Scott Stadium today. After both teams had wasted scor- ing opportunities, Virginia more often than the Indians, the Cavaliers trav- eled 60 yards early in the last quarter for the lone touchdown. Bus Male tossed the scoring pass 5 yards to Jim Gillette. The Virginia squad then was forced into a rugged defensive fight as Otis Bunch, the brilliant Indian halfback, aided by Gus Twiddy and Lloyd Phil- lips, pushed near the Cavalier goal line on two occasions. Virginia lost a touchdown a few minutes after the game opened, when Walter Smith, Cavalier sophomore quarterback, returned one of Bunch’s punts to 70 yards over the godl line, but a holding penalty brought the ball back to midfield. 7 Line-Ups and Summary.

CHARLES TOWN, W. Va, Oct. 30. —Scoring practically at will and using the full first-string line-up at no time, Charles Town High defeated the Wi (Pa.) township eleven, 26 BY the Associated Press. INCOLN, Nebr, Oct. 30.—Biff Jones’ hitless wonders still are at it. In & dizzy, daffy football game his Nebraska Cornhuskers slashed out a lone touchdown on the first scrimmage play of the game to de- feat the potent Hoosiers of Indiana, 7 to 0, and continue in the list of the Nation’s unbeaten elevens. The Huskers defeated Minnesota on two plays that clicked. They defeated Missouri the same way. Today the Biffer showed he didn't need to pull rabbits. out of hats. He used mirrors. Almost before the 37,000 fans, sec- ond largest home crowd in Cornhusker history, had settled themselves com- fortably to enjoy what loomed as a ding-dong battle on an Indian Sum- mer afternoon, they were on their feet roaring. Little Jack Dodd took a short shovel Nebraska 35-yard line, where the Huskers had put the ball in play after an out-of-bounds kickoff, and started eating up the yuda. around his left end. His teammates came to his aid with superb downfield blocking. Twice he stumbled in the clutches of Hoosier black shirts, but finally daylight loomed ahead and he crossed the goal standing up. Lowell English place- kicked the goal as the hand on the big clock registered just 17 seconds. ‘Then came the maze of statistical contradictions which sent fans home BTOERY.

Enjoy the fragrance and aroma of a good cigar . . . but be sure it leaves no long-lingering odor to taint your breath. New scientific discoveries have shown that White Owl’s Vintage tobacco is exceptionally low in the substances that cause unpleasant tobacco breath. Tests with a delicate osmoscope prove that this tobacco leaves less odor. ‘White Owl is a better cigar because it always has a Vintage- tobacco filler. Nature—not factory processing—made this tobacco exceptionally mild, mellow. We maintain a vast crop-inspection system—the only known organization of its kind—to locate Vintage tobacco.
