PHILADELPHIA, Nov. ga
cocky Cornell football team threw
two ill-starred forward passes this
afternoon and with them tossed
away its claim to the ivy League"
championship.
At the time the passes were
thrown, the Ithacans were leading
Penn by 1870. But as darkness
blanketed Franklin Field and the
final whistle blew. Penn was the
winner by 1920. in thriller the
equal of any these ancient grid
iron rivals ever have staged.
1t was grand triumph for Penn,
beaten only by Michigan this year,
and a grand finale for the Red and
Blues fine heavy duty back, Francis
Xavier Reagan. Performing before
a capacity crowd of 1895, Reagan
scored all three touchdowns. held
the ball for Gene Davis field goal
and extra point. and set new Penn
sylvania one-year scoring record of
103 points.
Though the margin was close,
Penn amply deserved to win and
Cornell Just as definitely deserved

and go yards to two quick touch
downs before the first quarter was
more than half over, but then sud-
denly had rush of over confidence
to the head.
Interception Turns Tide.
1t was, perhaps, excusable. With
Is points already racked up, it
looked as if they could name their
own figure. Perhaps they would
have been able to if they had con-
nected on the first of their two
fatal passes.
One of Reagan's tremendous
punts, a 57-yarder, had backed the
Ithacans down to their 8. Hal Nc
Cullough faded back and let fly a
toss meant for Bill Murphy. Muir
ply was in the clear and probably
could have gone for score. But
the ball overshot its receiver.
Cornell lined up, and this time
tried another pass. That was the
tipoff they were too cocky, and
also the turning point of the ball
game. For Ray Prick, PENIS captain
and center, intercepted the ball and
returned it to the Cornell II. and
in five smashes at the left side of
the Cornell line Reagan took it over.
That made it 1876, and in the
second quarter Reagan again was
the big gun as Penn moved into

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 23.-
A merciless Harvard eleven put the
finishing touches on one of the most
disastrous football seasons in Yale
history by crushing its old rival, %
to 0, before a crowd of $4,000 in
Yale Bowl today.
In absorbing their seventh beat
ing in eight starts this autumn. the
Ellis threatened only in the opening
period and then virtually collapsed
as the big Crimson team gathered
power to score one touchdown each
in the second and third quarters
and two in the fourth. Yale made
only two first downs in the last three
periods, both in its own end of
the field.
For Harvard the victory brought
a tie with Princeton for the Big
Three" title and a world of salts
faction. Today's was the most one
sided walloping handed Yale by a
Harvard team since the 40-to-0 rout
back in 1915.

The Harvard rooters were so de-
termined after the game to tear
down Yale's concrete goal posts that
finally it was necessary to cool them
off with the stadium watering sys-
TEN. But even then it took dark
ness to make them desist entirely.
It was only Harvard's third win Of
the season, so its followers probably
had a right to celebrate.
Once they got started today, the
boys from Cambridge looked quite
a football team, spectacular on the
attack and practically invulnerable
on defense They made their first
three touchdowns from far down the
field, blasting loose each time with
sudden, ground-devourine plays that
took Yale by surprise and made the
crowd catch its collective breath.
Francis Lee, New Haven young
ster who must have wandered up to
Cambridge by mistake, turned in
the most brilliant individual play of
the game, when he tucked a punt

him as he sprinted down the side

And, by way of rubbing it in, it
still was another New Haven prod
uct, Charley Spreyer, who bucked
across the final Harvard touchdown
in six straight tries from the &C.
yard line.
Capt. Joe Gardella, playing his
final game for the Crimson, went
over for the first two touchdowns.

Cornell came back shortly after
the second half kickoff to march II
yards and go in front again by 2O-16.
But from then on Reagan's fine
punting kept the Big Red in the hole
and the man himself found time to-
score the winning touchdown from
Is yards out after his linesmen had
opened tremendous gap in the
Cornell left side.
That was Reagan's seventeenth
touchdown of the season, and he
might have been given the rest of the
afternoon off at that point. But still
he was PENIS most valuable man, so
he played out the full so minutes
