the ball, was good for 81 yards to
the Cadet 10, and there Allerdice

Bob Hinchman kicked the extra

Princeton didn't have much of a

liant defense play of an underdog
Iowa State eleven, took to the air

A record crowd Of 1,500 saw the
Eouthlanders end their conference

four straight defeats and finished
with four straight victories that
took in Princeton, other member of

The defeat terminated the worst

A Yale major scoring threat came
at the start of the final period when
the Fighting Ellis. taking the ball at

pour, the Crimson's complex back
field maneuvers were short-circuit-
ed effectively by combination OF
the weather and savage Yale de-
fense. But once the red-jerseyed
Harvards got started on their win
ming drive, there was no stopping
them.
Given the ball on their 20 after
Johnny Miller's attempted field goal
for Yale from the 27-yard line had
fallen far short of its mark, they
lost yard in two shots at the spirit
ed Eli line. Then Frank Foley, chief
figure in Harvard's 1876 triumph q
year ago dropped back and fired a
short pass over the middle to Torbie
Macdonald.

Yale smeared one play for no gain
but was merely holding off the newt

middle for S yards and Foley, start

him out of bounds on the Yale 10
Once more there was a brief de-

down pass into the end zone to Mac
Donald, who grabbed the ball out
of the clutching arms of Eddie Col

MATS WINNING
STREAK HALTED
BY MEL HARDER
BY KIRK MILLER

Washington's baseball forces
finally ran up against their
Nemesis in the person of one Mel
Harder, pitcher in the employ
of the Cleveland Indians who put
a tourniquet around the local win
ming streak, stemming it at six
straight.
Mel had the Indian sign on the
Mats for a part of yesterdays two
hours and five minutes Of pastim-
ing as he stood in the box and
pumped his famous right arm up
and down, being the main factor
in a 5-to-1 smothering.
It would have been a shutout
had not Al Simmons thumped
out a home run, his eleventh of
the season, in the dying moments
Of the game.
Incidentally, 1t was AIS first
game of the series in which he
got hits off the Cleveland folks,
and during a brief pause in the
dressing room following the de-
feat, there was unmistakable evi-
dence of Simmons singing in the
shower bath. as his white hide
glistened in the soapSuds.
SUPERB PITCHING
Yea, Harder pitched a superb
ball game. He kept his Slants well
down below our batters' waists,
where they're not easy to clock, at
times striking out one of our num-
ber Just to show them their places.
It is a notable fact of the de-
feat that in the second, third and
fifth only three Washingtonians
faced Miraculous Mel, and in the
first, fourth, sixth, eighth and
ninth only four natives were at
the bat.
But in losing, Washington can.
not point a finger either of scorn
or blame on it's budding Mr.. Lewis.
The apple-cheeked third baseman
hauled off with three hits in four
voyages to the plate, all singles to
be sure, but safeties nevertheless.
Cleveland started off right mer-
rily against the home lads. After

game, Roy Weatherly bunted safely
