Newton High Gridders Defeat D. and D. Boys NEWTON. Nov. 25.

In one of the hardest and most evenly fought gridiron battles that has even been witnessed on the Newton High school field the Newton Hi gridders defeated the Deaf and Dumb Institute of Jackson by score of Twelve to six. The first scoring came In first quarter when Miley of Newton plunged the line for a touchdown in the second quarter, a pass from Warren to Blaylock netted a touchdown for Institute causing the first half to close with a six to six tie. In third quarter, both sides stiffened to the extent that neither was able to make a touchdown. In latter part of the quarter, however, East for Newton kicked a field goal and repeated the same performance. In fourth quarter the game closing with a score of twelve to six for Newton.

He lost several teeth in a mixup and had to retire from play. In the fourth quarter Shepherd started a march to Centenary's goal and his line plunges scored three first downs in a row.

Ab Beam saved the locals by intercepting a pass and then Centenary marched toward Oglethorpe's goal line. In the second and third quarter the Petrels were on the defense the majority of the time. The game was played in a high wind and there were few exchange of punts. Oglethorpe lost 30 yards on penalties and Centenary 25 yards. The line up: Centenary Foi.

Nov. 25. (A P) A rugged Colgate eleven, long a thorn in the side of Brown's cham pionship aspirations in the many years of traditional rivalry, today la a thrilling 10-10 tie again smashed the bear's hope of an undisputed claim to eastern gridiron supremacy. The eleven men who had driven Brown to top raaking with nine straight victories this season fought desperately for victory and unblem ished record. But the fire that car ried the team to smashing conquests over Harvard, Yale and Dartmouth died in the face of Colgate's fierce defense, the Maroon's complete subjection of the vaunted Brown forward passing game, and Mishel's fail ure to control his usually reliable toe when three field goal chances offered an opportunity to break the dead lock in the final period.

Not the least of Brown's troubles was the brilliant kicking of Dumont, husky Colgate guard, who, time after time, trotted into the backfield to hoist twisting spirals sixty yards down the field. Matching Dumont's accomplishments, Williamson, the center, twite fell back to drop kick Maroon points, one with a field goal from the 33 yard line. Just as history of last year repeated itself, when the ancient riv als battled to a 14-14 tie, so were memories recalled of a similar Col gate feat ten years ago when Brown's march to a national title was halted in the final game by an underdog Colgate eleven. Two spectacular dashes led direct ly to the Brown and Colgate touch downs after Mishel had tied the score of three-all early in the third period with a sharp angled field goal from the 35 yard line. Lawrence, brilliant Drown halfback, broke around the Maroon for a sparkling 6 a yard run.

Although he completed his journey to the goal ilne, Lawrence wa called back to the 7 yard line, where he had stepped outside in his mad race. Rendall smashed over lor the score, and Mishel's kick of the point made his 22nd consecutive suc cessful try of the season. The exultant roar of the Brown supporters, massed in the 30,000 spec tators that jammed the New Brown bowl, had hardly died with the per iod when a neat ten yard pass from Mehler to Brewer set the shifty Col gate back loose. Cutting to the sidelines, Brewer broke clear of the last man only to be dragged down from behind by Mishel on the 7 yard line. Shaughnessy needed four tries to carry the ball over.

The fury of the thwarted iron men broke loose in the final period as Colgate fought a dogged defense batle to hold the line.

Nov. 25. (AP) Unleashing a furious attack in the second and third quarter that swept the Oglethorpe Petrels off their feet the Centenary Gentlemen ran up 56 points in these two quarters to win the Turkey day game, 56 to 7 and cop the Southern Intercollegie Athletic championship. The visitors were the first to score putting over a touchdown in the. opening quarter on a 10 yard on line plays.

They lost several chances to add to the score in that session with penalties and after that never grew dangerous until the third quarter, when they ran up three first downs. Bear Allday playing Qls best game of the season sowed three touchdowns in a row on end runs for 45 yards, 21 yards and 15 end sweep by Campbell after the ball had been moved down the feld yards. Clarence Hamil at end scooped up a fumble and ran 37 yards for a touchdown and also scored on an 18 yard rurt after taking a long pass. Ab Beam quarter back scored 3 times. Allday and Hamel were forced to leave the game on account of injuries and the contest lost much of its color but the reserves put up a stubborn fight.

Centenary clearly outplayed their opponents, scoring 17 first downs to the Petrels 7 and the visitors deceptive plays never made much headway, usually being broken up oeiore they were underway. Nutty quarter back of the visitors was a bright light In the attack. His running back punts was also very good. It was Campbell who took a long pass on the 10 yard line from Vaughn in the first quarte rthat gave Oglethorpe's first down. An 18 yard plunge TIGERS WINNERS OVER GREEN WAVE S.

U. Tallies First Touch down Against Tulane In Fow Years of Play NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 25. (AP) The first touchdown the Tigers of Louisiana State university had scored on Tulane in four years won a football game here today when the -Baton Rouge team held the Green Wave scoreless through four hard fought periods before a crowd of 25,000 roaring fans, win ning by a 7 to 0 score. The game was the most desper ately fought of any seen in New Orleans this season.

Once in the third quarter the Greenies stood on the one yard line of the Tigers and lpst the ball on downs. Again in the fourth period the Tiger crouched on Tulane's one yard line for the final spring across the goal line for a second touchdown. But the Greenies, staging a des perate last ditch fight, held, and a pair of fumbles cost Louisiana State her last chance for a sec ond score. The only score of the game came in the first ten minutes of play when Haynes, Tiger halfback, crash ed across the Tulane line for a touchdown. Nesom dropped back and booted a perfect drop kick between the posts.

Tulane's first string men, who had been held in reserve, were put into play Immediately afterward, but all of the strategy they could put into play could not carry them across the Louisiana goal -line. The march toward the Tulane goal was started by Connell with a plunging 24 yard run through right tackle. He repeated for two short gains and Mason shot a pass to Haynes for a seven yard gain and first down on Tulane's 29 yard line. Godfrey broke through left tackle for ten yards, Connell, Godfrey and a penalty added 18 more and Haynes crashed through the line for the final yard. In the third period Tulane, re ceiving the ball in the shadow ef her own goal posts, started a drive with Seeuws, Armstrong and Men- ville swinging alternately into the Tiger line.

Yard after yard they advanced down the field until they stood under the Louisiana state goal posts with but three more yards to go. third down. The last as sault upon the Tiger line gained two yards and the ball went over the Tigers on their own one yard line. Tucking the ball under his arm, Haynes tore through right guard and carried it to the 22 yard line. In the final quarter the Tigers In itiated a second drive which carried the ball out, of danger.

Pineapples have teen known to reach the weight of seventeen pounds. la Its quadncentennial celebration the royal band of Sweden reproduced the first concert given for Gustav in 1527, with the same music, in- truments, costumes and decorations. The first band consisted of an org anist, drummer and four trumpt- ers. (By John Macliachlan) Doped to lose by 40 or more points, the Millsaps Majors played Inspired ball against Howard here yesterday, outdoing: their opponents nearly all the way and losing, 13-7, on a margin of two dropkicks from the toe of Bancroft, Howard Lack. According to the summary, the local Turple had things Its own way during much of the game, piling, up nineteen firrt downs while the Bulldog could grab off only nine.

But for the fact that Caver, half, was forced to go out of the end zone to receive a long pass from Francis in the second period, Millsaps would have had at least a tie and possibly a victory. Howard's only touchdown came in the second period, when Johnny Wil-kins took an overhead about three yards for a touchdown, the pass going about fifteen yards before he received it. Bancroft made a neat dropkick for the extra point. During the first half, Millsaps made ten first downs to Howard's three, and gained through the Crimson and Blue consistently. The visitors, on the other hand, could not pierce the light Purple wall after passing the 30-yard line, and kicked rather more frequently than the home squad.

"Bull" Spicer, captain and center for the visitors, played an excellent game, breaking through the line on numerous occasions. His work, however, did not equal that of McManus, scrapping Millsaps lightweight pivot man, against whom Howard used three centers. The Crimson and Blue line as a whole outplayed all the way through, and only the excellent defensive work of the light visiting backs kept the Major's yardnge down. Captain Brooks, in his last game for the Majors, repeated his feat of last year, cutting the Bulldog line to shreds, breaking up Interference and making tackles in a spectacular manner. McManus, sophomore center, also had a brilliant day, getting a large percentage of his team's tackles and outplaying each of the three men who opposed him.

Graham, Peevey, Baxter, Blount, Everett, and Babington all shone In their positions, outplaying heavier opponents consistently. Millsaps touchdown came in the thld quarter, when Jimmy Francis received a punt from Bancroft on his 35 yard line and returned It the length of the field for a marker, running away from all the rest of the players in the course of his jaunt and doing some nice side-stepping on the way. Paul Byrd contributed a perfect place-kick. With the beginning of the fourth period the Crimson started a desperate rally, but could not gain consistently through the line. After "Billie" Bancroft, highly touted back, dropped back to his 30-yard line and failure of several passes and bucks, placed a perfect dropkick through the bars, giving Howard a 3 point lead.

After the aext kickoff and an exchange of punts Howard again approached the Millsaps oal and was held. Following several plays at about the 25-yard marker Bancroft again put one through the uprights, giving his team a six point advantage. The game e-nded before the ball touched VANDERBILT IS AGAINA WINNER Commodores Smash. Their Way to- Victory Against Tigers of Sewanee NASHVILLE, Nov. 25 (A P) Sewanee's purple Tiger tonight retreated to the fastness of the mountain while Vanderbilt's Commodores celebrated a 13 to 0 victory over the foe which has faced them each Thanksgiving Day for 39 years.

On the muddy gridiron of Dudley field, said by experts to give Sewanee the edge, their attack was shattered time after time by a Vanderbilt defense that was adamant and their defense was broken at critical moments by a Commodore drive that was often sparkling in the extreme. For most of the game Sewanee played in the shadow of her own goal posts and fought desperately to stem the driving onslaught of a Commotlore team that has known but one defeat during the season. Favored by the wind in the first quarter, the Tiger could bring It to no advantage, and In the last period, when Vanderbilt faced the stiff breerft from the south, the purple clad warriors still were 'forced to fight with their backs to the wall. Deprived of the services of Spears, who went out early in the second quarter with Injuries, Vanderbilt presented "Red" Sanders, who carved a niche in the hall of football fame with some accurate tossing of passes. Purple bedecked rooters cheered wildly as the first quarter ended with th Tigers' goal uncrossed, later to drowned In a burst of cheers from tba Gold and Black stands as Hendrlcx, with only three minutes of the second period left, after two passes that netted 25 and 9 yards each, slid through the Sewanee line for the yard needed on the third down for the first six points.

Sanders' kick for the extra point was blocked. In the third quarter Hendrlx broke through the Sewanee line and streaked through' the field behind excellent Interference, for 41 yards and a touchdown. This time Sander booted accurately. A near riot was caused among the women on a Toledo car when a man came aboard carrying a steel cage coataining a number of white mice. Chemists declare that the discovery of pote.sh deposits in Pecos county, Texas, will free American agriculture from dependence on Europe or hls productj On the defense the Purple line showed 'up best, but was broken into several times by the defensive Bull dog linesmen, who blocked one punt and forced Francis to kick hurriedly on several occasions.

They could not keep the pace necessary to do this, though, and despite numerous substitutions, the local line held its own in the main. Part of the game might be describ ed as a punting duel, both teams be ing inclined to kick on their third down. Francis got off a punt which including a short rol traversed a fraction less than 80 yards, by far the best kick of the day. In the Howard backfield several men demonstrated ability, Bradley right half, was the most consistent gainer for the visitors, with McDan iel, Lollar, Barton and Bancroft fol lowing. These men played a very good de fensive game, and while HowaTd victory may be directly attributed to Bancroft's kicking, they used speed and hard hitting to advance the ball to a safe distance for him Aided by extra good playing on the part of Wascom, Caver and Byrd, Crawford and Francis in the Pur pie backfield did brilliant work, Francis turning several imminent losses Into gains by quick thinking and making a beautiful start on his 65-yard touchdown run, though for the last thirty yards he ran unim peded.

Crawford played a scintillat ing offensive game, gaining 110 yords in runs for his team, his long est run being for 50 yards, but his best work was on defensive. The Howard backs failed to get past him tluring the entire game, and bdut for his extraordinary tack ling the fleet visiting backs might have goot loose for one or more touchdowns. In summary of the game, the Mill sans line outplayed the Howard wall almost all the way through; the Millsaps backs gained many more yards than the visiting ball-carriers and but for several rather bad breaks, such as awkward rebounding of Francis' punts, a penalty on a play which netted 50 years for the Majors on a run of that distance by Crawford, the Purlpe would probably have scored at least once more than Jt did. However, the Howard defense tightened decidedly when its goal was in danger, and fought hard all the time, matching the desperate spirit of the light locals with a fighting Instinct that could not be overcome.

CORNELL BATTLES PENNSY TO A TIE Eighty Thousand Frenzied Fanatics Watch Great Squads in Clash PHILADELPHIA, Nov.

25 (AP) Pennsylvania and Cornell teams battled to a 10-10 deadlock in their Thanksgiving Day football game on Franklin field. ThePennsylvanians, outplayed until the last period and with the score 10 to 0 against them, suddenly braced and swept Cornell from her feet. The recovery from what seemed a listless game on the part of the Red and Blue was startling to the Penn and Cornell rooters alike, and with the score a tie the Quakers were battling desperately to break the deadlock when the final whistle blew. Eighty thousand persons saw, the battle, the largest crowd that ever saw a football game here. All tickets were five dollars each and it is believed that the "gate" estimated nt nearly $400,000, was the largest ever taken in at a football game.

Each team scored a touchdown and a field goal. The spectacular plays of the game were a forward pass, Balderston to Molinet, which gained 30 yards for Connell and led to her touchdown and a 65 yard run by Fullback Wascolonis of Pennsylvania for a touchdown. Molinet scored Cornell's touchdown and Captain Carey kicked the points after touchdown and made a placement kick in the third period. Paul Schull kicked Pennsylvania's field goal. EASY TO GET SIGNERS PITTSBURGH, Nov.

The weekly reported that of the first 52 students asked to sign, fifty attached their names without reading the paper. TEXAS IiONGHORNS WIN AUSTIN, Tex. 25.

Mr. King refereed the game, and was consequently in a position to know better than anyone else the value of the men on the field. "Crawford's work seems so good to me that I am more than willing to be quoted," Mr. King continued. "On defense and offense as well, he is what I'd call a 1 During the game Crawford gained 110 yards for his team besides be ing the defensive backbone of the squad, and fought hard all the way through.

His average per run was by a good margin the highest of the, day, the fact that he was out of play most of the second period in dicates that he worked unusually well while he was on the field. He has aa excellent chance for the my thical All-Stete eleven, his work all year having been of the highest cal ibre. Playing in parts of nine games but being out on account of Injuries much of the time, Crawford has scored 48 points for the Purple Practically every one of his pointers has been made on a run of twenty yards or more, and at least one of them for slightly over 90 through a broken field. Against the Univprsity of Alabama's "Crimson Tide' Crawford was credited with SO yards gained from scrimmage, including two breaks for twenty yards each. That other backs in the state have done more notic eable offensive work cannot be held against his excellence, since he tias carried the burden of his team's de fensive while being the Purple's most offensive threat.

Without the necessity for using up his energy to stop opposing backs it is almost certain that Crawford would do even better work on the of fensive. With fair interference, which he has lacked almost all year, he would be nearly unstoppable.

TAYLOR IS HERO OF ALABAMA WIN "Crimson Hail ing from Savannah, Shatters Georgians BIRMINGHAM, Nov. 25 (AP) A bolt of crimson lightning zig-zagged across RIckwood field here this afternoon and stunned the University of Georgia Bulldogs so badly that a defeat at the hands fthe Unlverslyt of Alabama was turned into a rout.

The score: Ala bama 33. Georgia 6. This electric phenqmena is known as Archie Taylor, who went into the south's outstanding Thanks giving day battle as a sub. That was in the middle of the third period and the score was still 12 to 0, as it had been when the first quarter closed. Georgia's forwards had been hold Ing the tide in check until the bare headed Archie came along.

Then presto a pass, Tinsleth to Taylor, and the count was 18 to 0. Another kickoff and a play or two and Taylor again. He started out on a swing around his left end, re versed between tackle and wing man, and sprinted 45 yards for another count. Georgia fought on with courage, but to no avail. This lad from their heath, claiming Savannah as his home, had almost shattered them.

The Bulldogs in defeat, however, achieved what their predecessors for three lean years had failed to do. With only a few minutes to play and dusk settling over the 17,000 fans, Curran, an end, broke through and blocked Johnson's punt, falling on the ball back of the crimson goal for the first score made by the Athenians against Ala bama in four years. Alabama's decisive victory, wind ing up two seasons with an unblem ished record, gave the Tide clear title to the Dixie crown for their third successive year. It was the swan song for Captain Morton of Georgia and many of his mates and the last game in the south for Captain Barnes, Wu Fong Winslett, Holmes, Caldwell and sev eral others of the Alabama squad The Crimson, however, probably will play Stanford New Year's day at Pasadena. In passing from the gridiron, the elusive Morton carried his honors well.

Many times did he circle Ala bama's ends, bring back punts, throw passes and kick with a degree of greatness that brought him admiration. Before the first period was near over Winslett slipped a pass to Caldwell on Georgia's 15 yard line. A minute or two later, "Red" Brown got away on a fake end run for 30 yards. He wriggled through a few seconds afterwards for three yards and a touchdown. Line up: ALABAMA GEORGIA Winslett LE Nash Perry LT Luckle Pearce LG E.
