NEW HAVEN. Nov. 22. Harvard's football juggernaut crushed the' Yale eleven by 36 to 0 in the -Blue bowl" here Saturday Where 70,000 spectators watched the gridiron rout in amazement. The Crimson machine rushed up and down the field almost at will, scoring in every one of the four periods of play and when the sixty minutes of battle had elapsed had succeeded in rolling up the largest number of points ever registered asalnst an Eli eleven.

With the exception of the 1885 Tale victory of 48 to 0, it was the greatest score ever made in the thirty-four games since 1S75. Many Thrilling Play. The one sided score fails to give the slightest inkling of the thrilling scope of the paly or the remarkable strategy and individual brilliancy with which the game bristled. Surrounded by more than a third of a mile of towering tiers of humanity, the two elevens struggled back and forth the length of the every second and third MADISOX. Nov.

22. By defeating the University Wisconsin Satur-jay the University of Illinois became the undisputed champions of the "Big Nine" conference, having won every rame on their schedule. Illinois won, to 9, scoring three touchdowns and field goal to one touchdown and a safety for Wisconsin. The first Illinois touchdown came within two minutes of play, when Macomber dashed around the left end for a. 40-yard run.

Later Pogue's open Held running brought substantial gains repeatedly, netting two touchdowns and apparently taking the hope out of the Wisconsin supporters. Much was expected of the Wisconsin line, but Captain Keeler, McMaster, Kennedy, Mucks and Buck found the men they faced proved equally big and fast. Illlnf Backfield Features. Illinois excelled In the ability of the backfleld to get away for long runs and Wisconsin players were slow to jet under way at critical times. Wisconsin started the second half playing an open game, which advanced from liie ball from their territory to a touchdown.

They scored a safety when Ma. uomber fumbled back of Illinois goal, cear the close of the third period, adding two points and ended Wisconsin's in the final period, after the Maroons had led in the first three, the Gophers ploughed their way to a final touchdown and victory. On form Minnesota should have had two more touchdowns. Twice the whistle prevented a Gopher touchdown when the ball was In their hands on the one-yard line and the half ended and again just as the game ended, with the oval less than a yard out. On the other hand, the Maroons stopped the Gophers within a few feet of the goal In the first quarter through sheer courage.

Stags Has Hard Luck. Chicago had Its share of hard luck. Starting the game with a team weakened by injuries. Coach Stagg was compelled to shift his backfield and re-arrange his line before the end of the contest because of additional accidents. Captain Des Jardlen, struck on the head, was forced out of the game in the final quarter and with him on the side lines the Maroon line broke before the fierce onslaughts of the Northerners and the deciding touchdown was made.

Den Jardlen Badly Injured. Captain Des Jardlen was so badly hurt during the last quarter that he was taken to a hospital. Quarterback Russell, who played in spite of the Injured shoulder, received in the game a week ago, lasted until the finish, but ended the game with the ligaments hurting him worse than a week ago. Both he and Des Jardien may be laid up for some time. Top row, left to right H.

Nov. 22. A ver-; satile Dartmouth eleven with bull like rushes, sweeping end runs and accurate passes in its repertoire of attack, overwhelmed a' heavier team from' Syracuse University Saturday forty to nothing. Man for man, the New Hampshire team outpointed his oppo-i nent and Syracuse could not make its open same work. Dartmouth's scoring machine got into action almost im- mediately and scored in every period.

NAVY SUBS WIN. ANNAPOLIS, Nov. 22. With a team composed largely of second string men. Navy Saturday defeated Ursinus 33 to 2.

From now on the Navy coaches will devote their time to rounding the charges Into shape for the game with Army next Saturday at Philadelphia. ARMY IN EASY WIN. WEST POINT, N. Nov. 22.

The Army defeated Sprinfleld Training school Saturday by 13 to 6. The game was played in the mud under the worst conditions ever experienced here for football. Quarterback Oliphant of the Army was hurt early in the game and was escorted from the field. PURDUE WINS STATE TITLE. LAFAYETTE, Nov.

22. Pur-due w.on from Indiana 23 to 13 Saturday afternoon. Superiority at line smashing and skirting the ends gave the Boilermakers the victory. Pultz, Purdue's quarterback, made the most spectacular play of the game when he drop-kicked a goal from the 45 yard line. Captain Michey Erehart starred for Indiana.

His run of 70 yards or a touchdown was a feature. play bringing the thousands to their feet, so intense was the excitement and so spectacular the play. No game of equal caliber on eastern football fields in many years has provided such a spectacle. The Yale cohorts remained loyal to the last, although they realized that the Blue had been but a foil for one of the greatest elevens of all time. A careful analysis of play clearly Indi cated that no team under modern rules has reached the height of offensive and defensive strength shown by the Crimson Saturday afternoon.

uapiain game is on Thanksgiving when Auburn BLUE AND WHITE TEAM Victory Over Thursday Eastern Would Normal Help Championship Claims. Millikin and Eastern Illinois Normal will battle Thursday for, in all probability, the championship of the Illinois Intercollegiate association. The Charleston eleven, by winning from Millikin, will be the undisputed champions of the conference for this season, while, if Millikin wins, the Normal school will be put out of the running and the Blue and White eleven can put in a bid for the conference title. The title will, however, not be undisputed, as Bradley, William and Vashti, Illinois College, Lombard and possibly several others, are putting in a claim for the title. William and Vashti, however, according to report from some of the colleges, is not playing eligible men, and it is understood that several of the Aledo players will be protested at the annual meeting in December in Peoria.

Should Be Hard Flgbt. The game Thursday between Eastern Illinois Normal and Millikin should be one of the hardest fought contests during the season. Both elevens have plenty of stars and these players are counted on for sensational and brilliant plays on Thanksgiving day. The Charleston eleven has three of the brightest players in the conference in Wilson, Taubeneck and Cooper. Millikin has such stars as Reeder, Catlln, Cox, Lee and Devoro to help bring a victory to the local college and the game will probably not be decided until the final period, as both elevens will fight until the end for the long end of the score.

Illinois College plays William and Vashti on the Jacksonville field, and, although the game will be a hard fight, Illinois College will go in the game the favorites, as this eleven plays on its home gridiron which is a mighty important factor in the outcome. Wes-leyan and Normal play for the championship of Bloomington and Normal, and, although this game has no bearing on the conference standing, some interesting dope can be gathered from FOOTBALL RESULTS MINOR CONFERENCE.

The Bradley eleven has suffered but one defeat this season and that was at the hands of William and Vashti, by a one-sided score. Millikin has been defeated but once and that by Lombard. William and Vashti has been defeated once and that at the hands of Millikin. Eastern Normal has a clean slate, but if this eleven loses Thursday to Millikin, it will have been defeated once. If Illinois College manages to beat William and Vashti next Thursday, then the Aledo eleven will be out of the running and the championship will rest with either Eastern Normal, Bradley, Millikin or Lombard Fourteen Players Wfll Make Trip to Peoria for Final Game of Season.

The heavy Ames team ploughed its way to a 50- to-0 victory over Drake University here Saturday, the score being the largest ever made in any of the 16 games played between the two schools. The Drake line played stubbornly at times, but was gradually worn out Moss and Warren, the opposing quarterbacks, starred.

The Ames points were made from a field goal by Moss and seven touchdowns John kicking every goal, four of them from difficult positions. "Doctor, do you believe in people taking vacations?"

Tearing big holes in the Chicago line, they cut paths through which the Williams backs crashed for two touchdowns to the Maroons' one, winning by 13 to 7.

22. Greenfield high school's undefeated football eleven claimants for the state title went down to defeat at the hands of the Springfield team Saturday by a score of 21 to 0. The Greenfield eleven failed to display any class during the contest and at every stage were hopelessly beaten. The Springfield eleven should have scored at least two more touchdowns according to form, but the whistle blew in the second quarter and the fourth period with the ball on the Greenfield goal line. Sternaman was the star of the game and the visitors "ere unable to stop him at any time, nil line plunging was a feature of the contest while he handled the forward Pass in fine style and kicked goal three times.
