‘BIG TEN’ TITLE
IS CAPTURED
BY CHICAGO
CHICAGO. —The University of
Chicago Saturday won the Western
Conference football championship
for 1924, by holding Wisconsin to a
scoreless tie. Chicago has not
been defeated this fall, while all
the other big ten schools had at
loaat one defeat registered against
them. It was the Maroons' first
title since 1913,
The result gave the Maroons the
championship of the, Big Ten. Wis
consin won what Its supporters
considered a moral victory, stop
ping the grinding Chicago attack
and uncovering an attack that
sparkled with fake punts and for
ward passes formations from
which the ball was run, thrown or
kicked to the frequent confusion
of the Chicago defense. The Ma
roons always braced mightily,
however, when forced back beyond
their 25 yard mark and then hur
ried the Wisconsin goal kickers so
that, all attempts missed.
The champions had a real chance
to score only once and that came
early In the third period when
Harry Thomas recovered a Wis
consin fumble on the Badgers' 16
yard mark. But at that stage the
Chicago attack went wrong and
the Maroons lost the ball on downs.

Crowd of 74,000
Sees Elis Take
‘Big Three’ Title
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—A blue
tidal wave, gathering fury at it
rolled on, turned through the Yale
xftsmoon, submerg
ed the gallant Crimaon defenders
and swept on to smashing victory.
Out of the morasees of the Eli
gridiron, churned into a sea of
muck and mira by a torrential
downpour throughout the game that
beat down upon a vast but bedrag
gled crowd of 74,000 banked upon
the ateps of the bowl, Yale's mighty
football machine rose to new
heights of glory by conquering Har
*.? ®> and capturing the
big three crown for the second
successive year.
YALE OUTPLAYED
IN FIRST HALF.
Beaten back, outplayed and held
scoreless In the first half of this
mud battle In which Harvard show
ed surprising strength and scored
twice on field goals through the
brilliant kicking of Erwin Gehrke,
halfback, who was the Crimson's
outstanding hero, Yale rallied in
the second half and slid, half
smashed Its way to triumph in one
of the greatest ebhibitlons of driv
ing power under seemingly Insur
mountable odds ever witnessed.
Undaunted by conditions even
worse than those existing a year
ago in the memorable fray In the
mire of Harvard's gridiron, Yale
came from behind to score two
touchdowns in the third period,
both of which were aided by Har
vard fumbles and to add a third
scoro In the final quarter on a 75-
yard marijh through the bogs and
lagoons that dotted the field.
POND AND KLINE
ARE SPEARHEADS.
Through th last half, Harvard
was helpless, beaten back-, but
fighting stubbornly. . while Yale,
alert and Irresponsible, drove on
with a relentless series of on
slaughts In which "Ducky” Pond, a
hero of Yale's triumph at Cam
bridge a year ago, and Billy Kline,
his running mate, always were the
spearheads.
Together this pair of slippery,
eel-llke runners bore the brunt of
the Blue charge, Pond carrying the
pigskin over for the touchdown
that tied the score, while Kline
took over the other two, all three
coming on short line thrusts after
Yale had steadily pounded her way
lntb Crimson territory.
HARVARD MAKES
STUBBORN FIGHT.
Thus Yale's superior, more re
sourceful, attack turned a tide that
at the outset took on a Crimson hue
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23
and seemed likely to sweep on to
complete the upsets that marked
both previous "big three" games
this year. Harvard went Into the
fray with a forlorn hope, put up a
stubborn battle, but last;; because
she did not have the sustaining
power to hold the advantage which
smart generalship and Gehrke's
talented toe gave the Crimson
the early part of the game.
It was a crushing setback for
Harvard, despite her gallant fight,
for the Crimson closed one of its
most disappointing seasons by los
ing to both her ancient foes the Ti
ger and Bulldog, for the first time
in 35 years, alter also dropping her
other two major games, to Dart
mouth and Brown. On the other
hand, It was a great victory for
Yale, which not only landed her
second straight “big three" title,
but closed a second straight season
without defeating the Blue's claim
for eastern football honors.
Tie game with Dartmouth and
another strong title contender and
the Army were the only interrup
tions In the triumphant march for
ward.
