Eliot defeated Yale's Berkeley College at Soldiers Field yesterday to take the Harvard-Yale intra-mural football championship. In other House-College games yesterday, four Harvard teams won, three lost, and one tied.
In the championship game, Eliot marched over Berkeley easily throughout the first half. Berkeley suffered during this period because their co-captains and coaches, Sandy Sulger and Frank Dufresne, were late arriving at the field.
Charlie Cabot started the touchdown parade with a 20 yard pass to end Major Close. This placed the Elephants on the Mitres' 20. John MacNamara and Charlie Cabot teamed up to put the Elephants on the 13. Then MacNamara scored on an end run and Dick Heintz converted.
In the second quarter, Charlie Cabot intercepted a Berkeley pass. Fred Rhinelander ran 60 yards to the Mitres' 20 and, Charlie Cabot broke through on a quarterback sneak for the touchdown. Dick Heintz booted the point again.
Near the end of the quarter, the Elephants drove down the field; John MacNamara took the ball off guard to score again. Heintz converted making it 21 to 0.
The Elephants's final score came in the last quarter, following a 70 yard drive. John MacNamara went into the end zone on a quarterback sneak. The Mitres made a last minute attempt when Sandy Sulger ran off sizable gains with seconds to play but could not get beyond the Elephant 30.
Pierson 3, Lowell 0
Pierson, with 10 seconds remaining in the game, kicked a field goal from Lowell's 20 yard line to defeat a Bellboy team that outplayed the Slaves throughout the contest.
The Slaves attempted the field goal after Lowell played out its four downs in its own 25, but the kick was blocked. In offside penalty on the Bellboys gave Pierson another try from the 29. This time Pete VanDoren's boot went through the uprights.
