UPSETS FEATURE
CRIDRON PLAY
Again Few Teams Play
True To Expected
Form
By ROBERT ID. LUSK.


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-On a slop-
ply field, in a downpour of rain, Yale
pulled one of the most surprising stunts
of the season Saturday in winning over
an obviously inferior Harvard team.
To the student of 1924 football, an
entirely expected and logical result is
distinctly the exception rather than the
rule. Saturdays scores, in all sections,
conformed very nicely with the rule
and the Eli win was the big exception,
leaving the Blue in an eastern cham
pionship class with Dartmouth and
Pennsylvania.
In the east Bucknell sprang a sur
prise typical of the season on the crafty
little Rutgers eleven by whipping it IL
to Z, the first defeat the New Bruins
wick team has had this season. A tie
with Lehigh, up until Saturday, was
the only unfavorable result that Rut-
gers had in its record, which included
victories over Lafayette and Cornell.
Hopes BIighted.
Rutgers had hoped that her team
would be one of the few claimants to
eastern honors. The New Brunswick
team had been, rated with Pennsyl-
vania, Yale and Dartmouth as one of
the four big indicated teams in the
east. Now Rutgers has been elm
mated and the mythical championship
of the Atlantic seaboard must be de-
cided among Yale, Pennsylvania and
Dartmouth, although, due to the many
upsets of 1924, each of the contenders
has been tied.
In the Big Ten the Chicago Wise on
sin tie was the main upset. The Ma
room, however, still stands at the top
of the list in the conference, as no
other contender has defeated it. But
the result was unreasonable. 1t is
doubtful whether ever before in the an
nails of the Big Ten has the tail-end
team tied the leaders in the champion
ship game.
NOtre Dame Stands Alone.
Notre Dame still stands alone as the
one eleven consistently victorious
through the season. But fans have
grown to expect bigger things from
Notre Dame and the fact that North
western held the Irish to a victory by
the margin of but one touchdown was
bit disappointing to the supporters
of Rockne's men.
In the Missouri valley the Ames vic
tory over Drake university more or less
spilled the dope and somewhat con-
fused the conference rating.
Stanford, with the sympathy of the

YALE SAILED ON
CREST OF FLOOD
Brilliant Victory Gives
Eli Great Record
For Year

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-Yale sailed
forth on the crest of the flood. Mud
caked, reeking sons of Old Eli staggered
out of the be-muddled bowl in dark
ness Saturday afternoon undefeated for
the year and victorious over the ancient
enemy from Cambridge by blowing
through ankle-deep mire for three
tcuchdowns after the cause had seemed
lost in the first half of the battle.
Ducky Pond, Yale halfback, who
splashed through submerged Harvard
stadium in 1923 to cross the Crimson
goal line for Yale's first touchdown in
many seasons, repeated his performance
in New Haven waters for the score that
gave his team the lead, never to be re-
linquished. Two teammates later fol-
lowed his example.
One hero was developed by Harvard
in the most crushing football season
the men have ever undergone. Gehrke,
injured in previous battles, returned to
offer his last effort against an over
towering enemy and for time it seemed
that the brilliant Crimson backfield
man would win the day by sheer game
ness. When the second period ended,
Gehrke had thrown such a scare into
the Yale camp as the bowl had seldom
witnessed. Favorite from all angles,
the Jones eleven was struggling against
6 to 0 odds, the result of two field
goals by the Cambridge cripple.
Gehrke fought winning game while
his strength remained and appeared to
give heart to his comrades. A driving
figure splintered the Yale line. 1t was
Gehrke. Yale backs plunged through the
Harvard forwards only to be borne to
earth by second defense man-Gehrke
In that first half the ball sailed be-
tween the Eli posts twice, kicked by
Gehrke

STANFORD HAS
TITULAR CLAIM
California Stages Bril-
liant Battle In Confer

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. %
The 20-to-20 tie game at Berkeley yes
terday between California and Stan
ford has left Stanford with the chief
claim to the Pacific coast conference
football title on the fact of its record,
but the championship award is mud
died over question of eligibility and
it could not be learned today which in
stitution will be given the honor.
Stanford went into the game minus
the services of Norman Cleveland, a
star halfback, whom the Stanford au-
thorities had barred on the ground that
he played a few minutes in varsity
game in 1921 and Therefore was appear
ing in his fourth year of competition,
instead of his third, which is the limit
allowed by the conference. Cleveland
had played in the previous conference
games against Oregon, Idaho and Mon
tana. There was the question of whether
these games would be forfeited on this
account. Stanford athletic representa-
tives were quoted as expressing willing
ness to forfeit the games, in the inter
est of the strict accord with the rules,
but indications are that the decision
will be left to the conference as a
whole.
Stanford and California entered their
classic struggle undefeated. They re-
main the only unbeaten conference
teams. But California has two ties
against it, while Stanford has only one
If Stanford is declared out of the race,
the titel automatically will 60 to Cali
fornia, which has won it for four years
past and closes its fifth straight sea-
son without a defeat by any team. In
the five years, California has played
four tie games, all the rest were victo-
ries.
However the championship ledger is
made to read, the 10000 fans who saw
the Berkeley game are satisfied with
the epic struggle and doubtless would
be willing to give both teams the title.
The California Bears were leading 20 to
6 with about ten minutes left to play.
The Stanford Cardinals let loose an air
raid that brought them two touchdowns
and tied the score minute or so be-
fore the final gun cracked.

DRAKE BULLDOGS
ARE DETHRONED
Missouri Goes Into Lead
In Valley Conference
Race
(By Associated PreSS.)

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 23.-The Iowa
Aggies proved a bitter pill for Drake
university Saturday and the Drake
Bulldogs, with a clear record for the
season, dropped their final 1924 confer
ence game and with it first place in the
race for the mythical football title of
the Missouri valley conference. Mis-
souri,, resting in preparation for Thanks
giving Day battle with Kansas, auto
matically assembled to first place in the
conference standings.
Through three periods Drake and
Ames battled to a standstill. The Bull
dogs. unyanquished in the valley, were
unable to cross the Aggies goal line, al
though having a slight edge. Then In
the final quarter the Cyclones let loose
powerful offensive that swept aside the
conference leaders and blasted their
hopes for clear cut-path to the myth
ical championship. The final score was
10 to 0, field goal and a touchdown
making the count.
1t was a terrific onslaught that Ne
braska turned on the Kansas Aggies at
Manhattan and the Corn Huskers won
their third and final conference game,
"a to 0. Nebraska won an aerial at
tack, scoring two of it's touchdowns on
forward passes and beating the Aggies
at their own game.
Oklahoma chalked up its second con-
ference victory at st. Louis by defeat
ing Washington university, to 0.
Whether Missouri will emerge the
1924 winner depends on the turkey day
FRAY with Kansas at Columbia. Should
the Tigers lose, Nebraska could claim
the title on a record of three victories
and one defeat. Missouri has won four
conference games and lost one. Besides
the Kansas Missouri game, one other
conference contest remains to be played,
that being the Kansas Aggie-Oklahoma
game at Norman on Thanksgiving.

GREAT CREDIT
Chicago Awards Honor
OF Winning Title To
old Man
(By Associated Press.)

CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-The victory of
Chicago in the 1924 Western Conference
football tournament brings the famous
Alonzo Stage, dean of American football
coaches, his seventh conference cham
pionshir in 80 years of coaching at Chi
cage, and to Stagg, alone, the Maroon
followers award the honor.
Getting the most out of his specialized
material through his gridiron strategy,
although lacking talent in several i'm
portant departments, has won for the
"old man." as he is known on the
campus, the major share of the Ma
roons's glory for this championship, their
first since 1913.
Although 81 years of age, Stage car
ries the football coaching burden at
Chicago almost single-handed and the
credit for the spectacular tie with Hill
nois, which started the Maroons on
the championship road, is given to the
''old man" for his method of attack.
Instead of trying to stop Red" Grange,
the Maroons alternated Give Yards"

in hammering across two touchdowns
before the Illinois woke up. 1t was
typical Maroon football as passes and
broken field runners have been scarce
at the Midway for many years. This
year the team also lacked good punter,
but "Bobb" Curley at critical moments
drop kicked a victory ever Northwestern
and tie with Ohio State.
1905 Victory Greatest
Prior to 1913 the Maroons were fire.
quent conference leaders, but the title
which is said to have brought the "old
man" the greatest satisfaction is the one
taken in 1905 by defeating Michigan
2 to 0 in one of the classic struggles
in conference history.
The late President Harper of Chicago,
under whom the present University of
Chicago was founded, is said to have
induced Stage to come to Chicago in
1892, turning his career from the pulpit
to the gridiron as a field for service.
Stage was just out of Yale where he
had been selected all-American end, but
was better known as one of the greatest
pitchers ever seen at Yale. This has
been Stages only coaching position and
he has been Chicago's only coach, not
only in football but in all other athletic
departments, although he has several as
sistants for other branches of athletics.
The cold mans" dictatorship of ath-
letlCS EXTENDS even luJO lu6 lOOIudll
ticket scramble where the pressure for
favors, because of the limited seating
capacity of the Chicago stadium, is ire
mendous. The present Stage field is to
be enlarged next year to seat about Co.
900 instead of 32,0 900 as at present. 1t
is no uncommon sight even to see the
"old man" moving the grass on the
gridiron to make sure that it is done
right.
Never Used Profanity
As full of energy on the practice field
as the most eager scrub, Stagg never
even approaches profanity in his distri-
button of satire among the football can
didates. 1t is campus gossip that he
kept Give Yards" McCarty off the
varsity last year because of a cuss
word. The acme of disgust in Stages
vocabulary is to brand some unfortunate
as "jackass" and once, when thoroughly
aroused, he termed player two jack
asses"
