M) Harvard shook off its Inferi ority complex on the gridiron to day, turned loose a powerhouse at tack for the first time in years, and broke the spell of Yale's superior ity with a thrilling 13-6 victory on a snowswept field. The Crimson's smartly drilled team countered Yale's tying, rally in the third period with a smashing 80-yard drive that clinched the game in the last quarter, when re pulsed the last desperate aerial bid as the Elis sought to avert their first defeat of the 1937 season. Frank Foley, Harvard signal caller, sprinted 10 yards around Yale's left end for the decisive score, after passing to Ray Daugh ters on a 19-yard play that pro duced the Crimson's first score in the second period. Between these Harvard tallies, Yale's great cap tain, Clint Frank, plunged two yards to climax a 67-yard scoring drive but the heroic performance of the Eli leader was unable other wise to offset the Crimson's bril liant attack. A capacity crowd of 58,000 jammed Harvard's stadium for the first time in six years. The Crimson, in ending Yale's three-year winning streak, cap tured the classic "Big Three" championship for the first time since 1915.

"Some of the lads are not math matically inclined, and can't asso ciate numbers with plays. However they do associate popular tunes, motion pictures and the best slo gans of the week with what they are supposed to do on the football field. "The Big Apple, for Instance, Is a fancy play that requires just the right technique and plenty of spirit to put it over. "When we are down on the op ponents' goal line and need the extra push In the middle of the fiejd, it's The Big Parade." Oris Clingman, middleweight champion of the Pacific coast, is in for one of the worst beatings of his long career next Thursday night at the armory, according to a statement made Saturday by one, Frankie "Mad Dog" Murdock, alias the Altamont Abattoir. The two grapplers, incidentally, have signed to meet in the head line attraction of Promoter Herb Owen's annual Thanksgiving day card. "This fellow Clingman will be a push-over for me. How he ever got to be a champion is one of the seven wonders of the universe to me. I beat him the last time we met, but the referee didn't think so and gave the decision to the so called ex-champion of the U. S. Navy. If that fat slob was ever in the navy there's something wrong with our government," Murdock said Saturday. Murdock also requested Owen to split the main-event purse on a 60-40 basis. "Then it'll be worth working for. The belt isn't worth it because its value must be very little with a guy like Clingman wearing it. The fact is I'll be doin' the commission a favor by becoming champion the real champion," Murdock concluded in his statement The "Mad Dog" earned his sec ond crack at the title last Thurs day by winning a "Battle Royal" in sensational manner' besting four other matmen and virtually blasting "Lightning Rod" Fenton from the ring to win the finale. Owen announced that he would schedule an all-star supporting card which he expects will fill the armory as full as his patrons after their annual Thanksgiving feasts.

Graybeal Stars The defensive piny of Ted Gcb hardt and Hank Nilsen for Ore gon was outstanding, both men rivalling the inspiring work of Er ickson, Washington's great roving center. Little Jay Graybeal cov ered himself with mud and a large portion of glory before he was in jured and taken from the game in the middle of the Inst period. It was Graybeal who sparked one of Oregon's two short drives into Husky territory. Capt Fritz Waskowitz was the outstanding Husky. He did every thing well run, kick and pass and it was his fiery leadership which gave the Washington eleven its well-deserved victory. How well-deserved it was is told in the statistic chart Washington rolled up 9 first downs to Oregon's 5 four of which were made via the air route. The Huskies made 262 yards from scrimmage to Oregon's net 10.

Three Oregon men had a chance to recover the pigskin, which was bounding c r a z 1 1 y around the field. In the press box it looked as though the lads were trying too hard, for each grabbed at It, then lost it again. Washing ton finally recovered the ball on its 20-yard line. The Huskies started a sustained drive down the field from that point Miller, Waskowitz and Al Cruver, battering fullback, did the ground-gaining work, aided again by wonderful blocking. Cruver made 14 on a reverse. Waskowitz, just starting to get warmed up, then scampered 26 yards after a lateral from Cruver. The Husky machine rolled right down to the Oregon 14 before the stubborn Webfoot line held and took the ball away from them. The Ducks, in two tries at the Washington line, lost three Then Gebhardt punted 28 yards to Waskowitz, who brought It back to the Oregon 32.

The Nittany Lions smothered Pittsburgh's pow er ln one period, the third, to get their only score. HOLT CROSS TIED, 0-0 WORCESTER, Mass., Nov. 20 W) Carnegie Tech wound up Its season today by playing undefeat- ted Holy Cross to a scoreless tie, before 15,000 persons who sat through a snow storm. Holy Cross three times drove to within few yards of a score, while Carnegie twice attempted field goals. ARMY WINS 47-8 WEST POINT, N.

't',.U' The fighting Irish of Notre Dame conqured their Big Ten arch rival, Northwestern, 7 to 0, ln freezing, windswept Dyche stadium, and it was Sweeney, hero of Notre Dame's triumph over Navy and Minnesota, who scored the single touchdown, result of a second quarter "break." It was Sweeny also who contributed defensive gems which helped keep the desperate Wildcats, playing their final game of the season, from scoring ine Die ox insn good lortune which led to the only score of a bitterly fought battle that kept the greater part of a crowd of 45,000 seated until the finish, came when a Northwestern lineman was guilty of holding as Bernle Jef ferson, negro halfback a tar. at tempted to punt from deep in his own territory. The first kick went out of bounds on his 40 but the play was called back, and North western penalized 15 yards to it seven. Again Jefferson attempted to punt, but it was blocked and Sweeney snatched the ball and stepped over the goal line. Andy Pupils placeklcked the point The Irish opened up with passing attack late in the third period and after missing three ln a row, McCarthy tossed to Arbolt for 11 and 18 yards for first down on the Wildcat 10. Four shots at the line failed to get the ball over, Northwestern taking It on downs on its own four yard mark as the period ended. McCarthy took the ball to North- western's 14 in the fourth period, but four tries gained only seven yards. Heap passed to Swisher for ilrst down on the 17, but two more shots failed and he kicked. Neat kicking by Stevenson kept Northwestern penned up in its own territory the "rest of the game.

The way they tore up the sod den turf between the 20-yard lines the Rams might have scored six touchdowns instead of the lone marker that rewarded a 58-yard drive in the third period. John Lock, a substitute fullback, was the lad who saved the bacon for the Rams. He went in at the start of the third quarter and be gan tearing yawning holes through the St Mary's line. Without letting eo of the leather he fought nis way from his own 37 to St Mary's 12. On the next play he slipped the ball to Krywickl, who tossed it out to Joe Woltkoskl, running ln the clear. It was an easy counter. The attempted placement was fumbled. Graybeal were incomplete before Smith finally connected lor an other 18-yard gain. The Ducks were on the Huskies' 38. There was time for one more pass before the halftlme gun, but it fell incomplete. Oregon got another chance after that, however, for a Husky was offside but their fifth pass in quarter to score, Willamette Whips Missionaries 20 to 6 WALLA WALLA. Nov. 1 0 tm Willamette university won its fourth consecutive Northwest conference football title today, beating Whitman college, 20-8. Its record for shutting out conference opponents was halted after 13 games when the Missionaries marched 41 yards ln the third MERLE MILLER the Ducks were superior. They completed 4 of 17 attempted for a total gain of 48 yards. Wash ington completed none all day. It was a "fits-and-spurts brand of football game. For many min utes at a time the game would be Just another game with both elevens battling it out on a grid iron several inches deep in goc and then something would happen to change the whole show. And it was the Huskies who were chang ing the slides of the gridiron picture. The Webfoots, who battled futlley most of the game well in side their own territory, never did get started. A belated passing attack, with Sophomores Bob Smith, Steve Anderson and Jay Graybeal doing most of the work. took them to the Washington 33 Just as the first half ended. It was the farthest down the field that the Webfoots were destined to get the entire af ernoon. Gebhardt Stops Miller The game started off with An derson kicking off for Oregon. Waskowitz returned the ball 22 yards to the Huskies' 27. Then came the sensational and surpris ing run of Miller's. Taking the ball from Waskowitz on a reverse, he scampered past Oregon's right wing, paused momentarily, ana then took off down the north side lines behind beautiful interference. He stumbled once on the Oregon 40, but managed to keep his fect despite the soft going and plunged on to the Oregon five before Ted Gebhardt dragged him down with a vicious tackle. The Huskies paused In their scoring surge to make two yard less smashes at Bill Foskctt and Joe Huston. Then Miller took an other reverse from Waskowitz to crash over for the Initial score. The kick was good, but a Wash lngton offside cancelled the extra point Miller's run was made possible by blocking which experts classi fied in the same bracket with California. Oregon tacklers were mowed down with hard, clean blocks and the shifty right half did the rest The Huskie's punted a 13-yard "foozler" out of bounds on the Ducks' 44, but Oregon couldn't do anything with the ball once they got it Throw Awy Chance On the third down the Webfoots elected to punt, and it was on this the Oregon line to no avail and then Waskowitz, really hot now, punted out of bounds on the Ore gon two-yard line. Emmons tried to buck once, making five through the center of the Husky pack, but on the next play Bud Erlckson, Washington's star center, broke through to block Gobhardt's punt. It rolled back over the end zone for an au tomatic safety and the Huskies were out ahead by eight points. Even at that it didn't seem so bad for the Webfoots. They were nibbling away at the Washington line, doing better with every try. Coach Calllson had sent in a flock of new men, including Kennedy, Nilsen and Anderson, and the backs were finally beginning to find holes In Washington's line. Little Jay Graybeal came Into the game Just after Waskowitz had punted to the Oregon 13. On the first piny the slippery Pen dleton youth skirted the Husky left end for 22 yards and nearly was away. It was the same sort of situation that Miller had had early in the game, but the big difference was that Miller had men out ahead to clear the way. Graybeal made his yards the hard way, slipping and sliding out of the grasp of at least five Washington would-be tacklers. Lasselle fumbled a bad pass from center on the next piny and practically nullified Graybeal's gain with a 12 yard loss. But the Ort'gons were not to be stopped. Graybeal gambled on a pass to Yerby, who took the ball on the Oregon 48 a neat 25 yard gain. At that point Bob Smith, the Medford southpaw, came into the game, and the pigskin did a lot of flying in the next three min utes all that were left in the second quarter. Three shots to the series was also incomplete. ' Ducks Get Breaks The second hald was a much more even ball game. Oregon was pepped up from their intermission "fireside" with the coaching staff and threatened to do things. Yerby recovered Waskowitz fum ble shortly after the third period opened, but Oregon couldn't do much with this break. Another break came two min utes later when Waskowitz, fol lowing an exchange of punts which gave Oregon the ball on the Husky 43, Intercepted Geb hardt's pass, intended for Gray beal on the Huskies' 20. He gal loped 87 yards to Oregon 13-yard stripe with It before Gebhardt nailed him. The run was nullified a Wash ington lineman did a little de fensive holding, and Oregon got five yards handed to them as a gift. Oregon found themselves back ln their own territory a few min utes later as Cruver, Miller and Waskowitz again started the big Washington team rolling. They rattled off three first downs be fore Waskowitz had to kick from the Oregon 28, the ball rolling out of bounds on the Webfoot 10. Smith picked up 10 on a man-ln-motlon play, with five more thrown ln for good measure from a Washington offside penalty. Three plays later, however, they were back on their 17 as the Huskies started to pour on power. Huskies 8core Acaln Reglnato kicked out on the first play of the fourth quarter to Waskowitz, who was downed on the Huskies' 47-yard line. The big purple-and-gold clad eleven then shifted into high, and In exactly eight plays were over for its second touchdown. Cruver and Waskowitz aided the cause with 21 and 20 yards dashes, respectively. Cruver's try for point was wide and the score was: Washington 14, Oregon 0. Thats' the way the game ended ten minutes later, although the Webfoots were having more suc cess against the Washington sec ond team. A veritable barrage pf passes, with Steve Anderson on the tossing end of the attempts, fell incomplete as the Ducks tried Welsgerber, Bearcat fullback contributed 14 points with two touchdowns and two conversions. Beard scored the third touchdown in the final period on a 17-yard dash off tackle. Morrill, fullback, drove through the Bearcat first line for the first touchdown Borleske team has scored since Whitman beat Wil lamette In 1931. Sharing offensive honors with Morrill was little Karl Schneldmlller, quarterback, who returned a Bearcat klckoff 71 ards ln the third period, Beard, safety, catching him.
