In other words, a back was no better than the men he had un front to open the holes. ATLANTA, Oct 14 UP Georgia Tech, outcharged and outfought for a greater portion of the game, truck through the air four timea today to down a gallant Auburn eleven, 27-0, remaining unbeaten and unscored upon. A lot of other folks have labored under the same assumption.

Without Comp to hurl passes to Hutson. Lambeau elected to give Don Hut son's ailing arches a rest in the game. Don did make two brief appearances In the battle, each time after the Packers' touchdowns. Calmly he hooted the first one squarely through the goal-line uprights, then had his second blocked by a flight of Eagle homhers.

Jack Redding Rambles 40 Yards, Steffy 75; Victors Stay Unbeaten KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Oct 15 (1P Tennessee remained unbeaten and untied today when It turned back the University of Florida's scoring threats In the first period and then turned on the power to crush the Gators, 40 to 0, before 8,000 fans.

Later in the quarter, another Tiger threat died at the and threaded his way 38 yards up field to the 43. There he was hit down hard by Paul Duhart, former Florida 'Gator back. Hinkle, Bants Lead Drives Jack Hinkle and Banta shared the burden of ball carrying in the first of six drives which paid off in points for the Eagles. Ripping through the line and around the ends they zoomed to the 31 with Hinkle carving 12-yard chunk out of left tackle. Hinkle was a "settln' hen" on the next play, losing a yard, but LeRoy Ztmmer-mann, the ringmaster of Nsale'S version of the which completely baffled the Packers, flipped a pass to End Jack Fer-rante, the lone non-col leglan on the two squads.

The Bears smothered him on the four-yard Una, Banta boomed to the one-yard line, then pounded for a precious two feet. On third down "Twinkle" Hinkle snatched a lateral from Zimmerman and danced around his own left end for the touchdown. Zimmerman plunked the ball through the uprights, the first of five point punctuations he tacked onto touchdowni. To make his batting average on boots 1.000 for the day he nicely calculated a difficult ancle field-goal try from the 11-yard line in the second quarter. A minute and 20 seconds later the ball game had been won In Just six minutes of elapsed playing time.

The Packers passed the first time they got their hands on the ball, Lou Brock, the one-time Purdue Boilermaker, barely missing Ead Rav Wheba with a bullet. Don Perkins picked up a yard over guard. Brock dropped back to pass again, but the Eagles Tom Miller came out of a leaping, scrambling mass with the ball and bulled his way to the 11-yard bar. Hinkle Twinkles for Touchdown The Eagles needed only one play this time, Hinkle twinkling around right end for the touchdown behind a cordon of blockers who permitted him to cross the goal untouched. The Packers were able to do little with the Eagles' line and a pass from Duhart to End Joel Mason put the ball on the 47.

Brock was forced to punt and the Eagles were off to the races again. Ernie Steele, the former University of Washington whisard, rattled off 46 yards on one of the day's most beautiful runs, but the play was nullified hy clipping. He went to the 22. Mel Bleeker, another former Trojan trucker, made back half that distance to the 44 on a tour of his own left end. The Packers braced then and when a long pass to Hinkle was knocked down by Brock, Zfmmy punted over the goal-line.

nullified because of penalties, and a field goal. Steele Shows Plenty Jack Banta, the eely Eagle wingback, notified the fans of what to expect when he raced the opening kickoff back 38 yards. The most spectacular run of the game was one that a clipping penalty nullified. Ernie Steele broke away midway the first period for 46 yards and only a great try by Joe Laws kept him from scoring. Laws pulled him to earth on the 21.

Steele also got' away for 54 yards and a touchdown In the third quarter, but another clipping penalty robbed him of this fine run. Many Long Marches There were many long marches. The Eagles traveled 57 yards for their first touchdown, 64 for another and 59 for their final dne. The other came on short drives. The Packers staged the longest march of the day, traveling 91 yards in the fag end of the fourth period only to be throttled on the one-foot line on the final play of the game.

The Hhys went 80 yards for their first tally and 69 for their second. Paul Duhart tossed to Lou Brock for the full distance on the latter, Brock racing 28 varda after snagging the flying football. Mel Bleeker Amazes Mel Bleeker's blast through the middle of the Green Bay forward wall for 14 yards and the Eagles' fourth touchdown amazed the spectators.

and Irv Comp, a great passer and a better than ordinary runner, in St Thomas Hospital nursing an unruly appendix, it wasn't a shock to those who know the two clubs. No Comp, Hufson Show Football's greatest passing combination a year sgo was Irv Comp to Don Hutson and if those two had been in action Saturday, the fans would have seen a closer game. The Eagles probably would have won anyway. Comp was stricken shortly after midnight Friday and was rushed to the hospital. The medical men didn't think an emergency operation was necessary but they advised him to remain in the hospital until last night when he was carried to the train in an ambulance.

Spectators Disappointed The fact that Hutson didn't play was disappointing to the spectators, many of whom came here from Alabama to see their former hero. Don has been troubled with bad arches for two seasons and two weeks ago he hurt both of them. He played only four minutes of the game at Green Bay last Sunday. Curly Lam-beau, the Bay coach, didn't expect to use Don but little here Saturday because of his Injury. When he didn't play Don, except to attempt two conversions after touchdowns, the fans lelt that Lambeau had given them a run-around.

The fact that Hutson did not play spoiled an otherwise very attractive game, one tliat gave the spectators plenty of thrills with long runs, passes, seven touchdowns and two others which were a Duput Wave Drowns Owfs Gnrila Terh Cistlfbf rr Chamber!
