By HASKELL SHORT, Courier-Journal Correspondent. Chattanooga, Nov. 9. Chattanooga's Moccasin3 smashed Centre's line all afternoon with powerful plunges, reverses and spinners but had to rally, to eke out a 14-9 victory over the Colonels here this afternoon. Giving a homecoming crowd of 4,000 plenty of excite between Western and Murray on November 23.

In justice to Western, however. should be stated that the Hill- toppers did everything but win ball game today. They made first downs to Morehead'- four rushed the ball for a net gain of yards to the Eagles' 63 and had whatever edge there was in air. Western would have won, hands down, but for a fighting Morehead line that never knew when to quit, even when backed against its own goal line and fine punting of Jumping Joe Lustic and Hayes Tate who aver- aged 41 yards a boot to 31 for Western. WESTERN THREATENS Western knocked at the door of victory several times, first on a 42-yard run by Crouch in the budge? chiefly because of the in- telliient Morehead defense, ably first Quarter, but it refused to Tie But Eagles Are Conceded Moral Victory fourth, a pass from Dulaney to pittman set up a first down on c-, ripped off 12 yards through tackle and then Dulaney hurled a pass to pjttman for 10 more and Passed aam to Downing for a first down on the Eagles' 20.

Sadler took six more around end but the Eagles took the ball on downs at the 15. MOREHEAD TIGHTENS Lustic got off a nice kick out of but th i with Wilson picking up 12 and soon drove down to the Morehead five with Dulaney again passing while Wilson and Sadler swept the ends. Again the boys in Blue refused to budge and the drive ended when a swarm of defenders batted down Dulaney's desperate pass over the goal line with seconds left to play. For Western, Wilson, Crouch, Sadler and Dulaney stood out in the backfield, while "Sandy" Sanders at center. Van Meter at tackle.

Bowling at guard and Downing at end looked best on the line. Morehead's most colorful back-field performer undoubtedly was its smallest player, 135-pound George "Junior" Wiggins from Pikeville, who played safety, tackled well and hauled back punts brilliantly.

ROUNDUP: A pepped up Morehead team held Western to a 0-0 tie Sat-urday afternoon while four other K.I.A.C. members were playing out-of-State foes winning three' of the games. the University of Louisuille edged out Hanover 14-13; Eastern paraded over Central Michigan 25-0; Murray walloped West Tennessee 35-6; Centre lost to Chattanooga 9-14. Georgetown had beaten Union 27-7 Friday afternoon. Transylvania was idle this week.

ment with their tackling and Jack" Haddock's passing the Colonels opened the scoring on the sixth play of the game when Arnold Amundsen nailed Frank Orend behind the Chattanooga goal line for a safety and a 2-0 lead. Ten plays later Centre had scored again when Stanley "Zcke" Czekala took Haddock's 26-yard pass on the 1, and stepped over to score. But Chattanooga quickly recovered and in three minutes, aided by a costly Centre fumble, had scored. Chattanooga came back early in the second period to score the game's final touchdown. Centre kicked off to start the game and after Chattanooga had been forced to kick to Centre's 38, Czekala booted one to Chattanooga's 1-yard line where Amundsen downed Orend as he went into the end zone trying to cut back.

CZEKALA PASSES Chattanooga then kicked off to Centre from their 20 to "Red" Smith who ran the ball back 18 yards to Chattanooga's 43. Czekala added four through the line, two plays failed and Haddock passed to Schultz for a first down on the 27. Haddock threw three long passes before one settled in Czekala's arms on the 1 from where he stepped over to score. Haddock kicked the point. Phillips returned Skovron's kickoff to the 25 where the Colonels held.

Forcing Orend to kick to Czekala who fumbled on his 28, the ball was recovered by Chattanooga. This was the break of the day turning out to be the game's deciding point. Barbee was thrown for an 8-yard loss by Bill Yates, but on the next play he spun through the line for 13. A Centre offside penalty put the ball on the 18. Two plays later Orend passed to O'Brien on the 15 who lateraled to Phillips who streaked down the field for Chattanooga's first score.

Barber's kick for the point was good. Score, Centre 9, Chattanooga 7. REVERSES WORK Centre took the kickoff on. the 20 but was forced to kick, Czekala booting the ball to Chattanooga's 40 where the Moccasins opened with smashing reverses driving to Centre's 23 before being forced to kick, a short one out of bounds on Centre's 13. Chattanooga held and Yates kicked to Centre 42 as the first period ended.

Orend and Grigonia, added 13, a pass from Orend to Lacarra put the ball on Centre's 28 and on the next play Orend drove through, right tackle, shook off two secondary men and scored. Barbee's kick was good. That ended the scoring, but Chattanooga was in Centre territory much of the remaining game, driving deep, but being turned back by a fighting Centre line and the kicking of Czekala and Yates. Once Chattanooga had a first down on the 1, but a recovered fumble by Evans ended the threat. Felchner, Hale, Yates, Amundsen and Hollis Evans, substitute guard, played best defensively for Centre, while Haddock, Smith, Czekala and Claude Cohren led Ihe offensive.

Morehead. Ky, Nov. O. Kentucky Intercollegiate Conference football championship chase became more complicated than ever this afternoon when Western and Morehead battled to a bitter 0-0 tie here in the chill shadows' of the Cumberlawds while a crowd of 2,500 watched. It was the second scoreless deadlock of the season for Ellis Johnson's Blue Eagles and some- IrTHnHwe- picked to win by at least two touchdowns with Morehead slightly crippled up.

Early in the season, Morehead and Murray played to a 0-0 dogfall in Ashland. Thus, by comparative scores, Murray and Morehead, winner of only two games each, are on a par with Western, which has won five. And while one can't take much stock in such things, it should make a peach of a game 1 Indiana William Kennedy, Michigan ih rough hut JbjseIndiana it the 17 216 the up the Eastern Puts 25-0 Defeat On Central Mt.

After a thwarted scoring threat in the first three minutes of play, Central failed to advance again beyond Eastern's 30-yard line. SMITH STARTS DRIVE Bert Smith started the Ken-tuckians' first scoring drive with a 22-yard sprint to Central's 36. Wyatt Thurman went to the 15 line and then took a pass from Smith to score. In the third period Kentucky scored three touchdowns. Thurman marked up his second with a 35-yard run.

Later an intercepted pass by Perry gave Kentucky the ball on Central's 35 and it was converted into a counter with George Ordich' scoring.

An evasive Hanover halfback, John Troy, ran and passed like an all-American here today in a one-man at tempt to overcome a 14-point "University of Louisville lead and make it a sad student trip for 200 noisy Louisville partisans. But an ornery cross-bar that wouldn't co-operate allowed the Cardinals to slip home with a 14-13 triumph tucked in their Twkts. The Cardinals amassed their load and looked as thmiffh thev were headed for ad ditional markers before Troy swim? into action.

It was after his second jaunt; when the score stood 14-13, that the cross-bar decided lavor Inuisville.

John Williams was rushed in to kick with but three minutes of clay remaining. His boot hit the cross-bars, tottered uncertainly, then bounded back into the field. it The wore, however, belies the Tna.ierinar hand the Apitzmen held for three action-crammed With Seniors Jimmy Caufield. Barney Smith and 'Zeke" Reiling playing their last came against the Hoosiers, tne Rirds were at their best since the Cincinnati fray. I An alert Cardinal eleven scored I within three minutes after the opening whistle when Charlie Isenberg recovered a blocked punt and scampered five yards, for a touchdown.

KICK, BLOCKED The visitors received the kick-off but punted to the Hanover 48 when three running plays failed. The Panthers were inches short of a first down on the 28 when Beuter attempted the punt that was blocked by hefty Tom Coleman, the Card's hard charging right guard. The ball bounded to the 5 where Isenberg picked it tip and tallied. Jimmy Rosenfield converted and 6f L. led 7-0.

The fighting Panthers, paced by the Williams boys, clawed their way from their own 38 to the Cardinal 20, rolling up three successive first downs before the Card line held. The Cards again got in hot water a second later, however, when Reuter blocked a punt by Hugh Wright and the Panthers recovered on the 24. But again, Hanover was stymied as the first quarter ended. Wright's superb bootinst pulled the Red Birds out of the hole. For the greater portion of the second quarter, Wright and Reuter engaged in a punting duel with neither squad staging any threatening offensives.

The Cards were content to confine their driving to the ground and did not throw a single pass. Hanover attempted two which were incomplete. 17-YARD MARCH The University of Louisville waged a devastating ground attack as the second half opened, ramming its way to a touchdown after a blistering 87-yard march that culminated in Wright's cutting left tackle from the four for a tally. Jimmy Rosenfield started the march when he skirted the sidelines from the 20 to midfield. Wright bucked to the Hanover 40, and a moment later "Jumbo" Moore, on end around, went 15 yards to the 25.

Rosenfield. Stone and Wright co-operated for the third successive first down on the 12. The Cardinals continued battering the Hanover forward wall as they pushed to the 4, from where Wright scored. Rosenfield cut the uprights, and U. of L.

led 14-0. TROY GOES 86 A courageous Hanover eleven fought back, however. With about 5 minutes remaining in the third quarter, John Troy crashed through the middle of the U. of L. line and raced 80 yards for a touchdown.

Love crashed the line for the extra point. The score stood: U. of L. 14, Hanover 7. Hanover marched deep Into U.

L. territory after recovering Ken Sipe's fumble in midfield. Thev lost the ball on downs and U. L. punted out.

But the Pan thers, with 5 minutes left, crushed forward again on a series of ground plays to move tha ball from the U. L. 39 to 25. Troy to Reuter to the 15. Then Slippery John cut left tackle and scored.

John Williams went in to kick. His boot hit the crossbar and bounced back into the field and U. of L. maintained its leid. 14-13.

The first half found the teams battling back and forth, punting frequently and sparring lor a break. Western worked down to within the 10-yard line twice, but Ben Dulaney's passes failed when the Morehead line held tightly, first on the four and again on the nine.

TTT: Leading by only a single point at the half, 7-6, the third period started the Thoroughbreds march ing for another touchdown, and in the fourth quarter they counted three more. The Tutors, after scoring a 40-yard pass in the sec ond quarter, were helpless on offense. Jakie Inman, senior tailback, sparked the Bluebloods' first two touchdown drives, and scored both markers on short off-tackle smashes from the 3-yard line. Francis Labonte and Cobbie Lee aided Inman in carrying the ball down the first time, while a nifty end-around play with Carl Stef-fin carrying the ball to the 3-yard line set up the second score.

In both cases, Speth kicked the extra point. The junior backfield Nanney, Ferrara, Koss and Levandoski were responsible for the next two touchdowns early in the fourth period. A pass from Nanney to Salmons, who lateraled to McGar-vey, for a total gain of forty-three yards set up the third score, and The Master's Favorite Special tu The Lexington. Va Nov. 9.

M. boys tallied three times in the first period, once in the second, twice in the third and another in the fourth. Wake Forest won over a fighting North Carolina State team 20-14 but it took a smashing comeback by the favored Deacons in the last four minutes to take the game. The winning marker came on a 35-yard pass, J. V.
