Harvard Houses could come through only once in yesterday's games with the Yale colleges, but that once was enough for Kirkland House, the Crimson inter-mural champion, to whip the Yale champions, Berkeley, by a 21 to 12 score and bring the inter-University championship to Harvard for the coming year.

In all the other House-College football games, the Bulldogs emerged victorious, though often over stiff opposition. Yale won the touch football crown as Silliman swamped Kirkland, 60 to 0.

Kirkland 21, Berkeley 12

Keeping a muscular thumb on Berkeley College throughout the game, and scoring three touchdowns, Kirkland yesterday afternoon battered its way to the Harvard-Yale intramural championship. The game was characterized by rough, at times vicious, line play.

Starting right off in the first quarter, the Deacons carried the ball 70 yards down the field on a powerful sustained march, the first time they got hold of it. Sam Cantwell scored and the extra point was made on one of the Kirkland specialties: a fake placement, with an end run, finally ending with a pass deep into the end zone.

Berkeley bounced back, driving 50 yards to a first down on the two. There the Deacons held for two downs, finally breaking on a short end run which only barely reached the goal stripe. They blocked the extra point try, and the half-time score was 7 to 6.

As the second half began, it looked as if this were to be the final score, but suddenly Kirkland, apparently marooned in midfield on fourth down, broke loose on a 50 yard pass from Willie Thompson to Bob Snow who scored. This time the extra point came on a fake kick buck lateral around end.

After this, the game was over: both Kirkland and Berkeley scored once more, but the issue was never in doubt.

Any number of interceptions, fumbles, acrobatic pass catches, and penalties kept the game jumping all the time.

Edwards 24, Eliot 13

A powerful, speedy Jonathan Edwards eleven rolled to a 24-13 win over Eliot House yesterday. The Eliot team, suffering from the loss of its quarterback-captain Dave McGiffert, fought gamely but could not get its defenses set against the visitors' running attacks.

An early blocked punt gave the green-shirted New Havenites their first score. They broke through to down the punt on the Eliot three-yard line, and drove over from there.

Eliot drove downfield as the period ended, only to lose the ball on downs. Jonathan Edwards roared all the way back in seven plays to score on a nine-yard end sweep by Stodgehill.

On a fake punt and run play, Eliot's Jim Rossiter ripped 30 yards off the flank. Troop Wilder gained 13 more off tackle and then tossed to Roger Pugh in the end zone for a score. The visitors scored again just before the half ended on a run around right end.

The second half was more even. Jonathan Edwards scored once more, but just before the final whistle, three long passes, the last by the durable Wilder to Pugh, gave Eliot its second score. The point was kicked by Rossiter.
