Behind sparkling line play, brilliant end runs by Don Zimmerman and line plunges by Nolle Feltz, Tulane blasted Vanderbilt's title hopes here this afternoon by the score of 19 to 0. Feltz scored two of the Greenies touchdowns with plunges over the goal line while Payne accounted for the third.

The Commodores threatened the Tulane goal line twice in the first period, but were helpless the remainder of the game. First Period Unable to gain after the kickoff, Vanderbllt punted to Zimmerman who fumbled and Hughes recovered for Vanderbllt on Tulane's 22 yard line. The Commodores drove to the Greenies five yard line, but could gain no further and Zimmerman punted to midfield. Vandy marched down the field again to Tulane's 14 yard line but left the baU on an intercepted pass. Tulane could not gain and Kicked to mldfleld.

Vanderbllt had the baU on Tulane's 43 yard line as tha pe riod ended. Score: Tulane Vanderbllt 0. Second Period Vanderbllt topped a passing attack but lost the ball on downs on Tulane's 21-yard line. The Greenies. aided by a 12-yard past from Zimmerman to Dalyrymple drove to Vandy's 34-yard line.

Tulane initiated a passing attack but could not gain. Payne then went around right end for ten-yards to Vanderbilt's 23-yard line. With Felts plunging through center for Greenies marched to Vandy's 2-yard line. Felts leaped over right tackle for a touchdown. Zimmerman's placeklck was blocked.

Vandy had the baU in the center of the field as the. half ended. Score: Tulane Venderbtlt 0. Third Period Vanderbllt took the. klckoff, but could not penetrate the Greenies line with its runing attack.

A pass Dawson to Dalyrymple gave Tulane the ball on Vanderbilt's 36-yard line. A Tulane passing attack was futile. Dawson kicked the goal line and it was Vanderbilt's ball on its own 20-yard line. Henderson, Vanderbllt sub, got off a bad punt and Tulane took the ball on the Commodores' 18-yard line. Runs by Zimmerman and Felts placed the ball on Vandy's two-yard line and Feltz plunged over the Tulane's second touchdown.

Phipps and Hitchcock carried the ball to lech's two yard line Just as the half ended. Hitchcock completed a good 22-yard tun at the sound of the whistle. Tech battled fiercely throughout the second half, trying for a comeback similar to last year when the Tornado came from behind a 12 to 0 score at the half to win 14 to 12 But with the Auburn lino holding, and Phipps rushing Tech's line and tossing passes, the Tornado was unable to make gains.

Langley Field's football team turned the tables on Gallaudet College yesterday aftnoon.

winning a clean- ut victory by, the score of 18 to 0. The college boys were outplayed throughout the contest and never threatened Langley's goal iine. fighting a hard up-hiU battle in a game effort to prevent the Aviators from running up a large Gallaudet once stopped Langlty Field within the five-yard line and showed up well on the defensive, but lacked an offensive that could make any impression on the Aviator' line. Monaghan wss the outstanding star for the visitors, hailing practically every attempt to get around his end and also figured in a majority of the tackles. Langley used three teams during the battle and put up a pretty exhibition of football from start to finish.

i The battle started with Langley kicking off. Gallaudet was thrown: for a loss of live yards on the first play and kicked to Rsiter smashed 'through for 19 yards and Worthington followed with a gain of 20 yards. Two tries at the line failed and a forward pass grounded. Lang-ley's fumble gave the bail to Gallaudet on their 10-yard marker and Hantow booted the oval out of danger. Langley's sweeping end run failed to make up any distance and when Reiter fumbled, Gallaudet recovered, on Langley's 45-yard marker.

For the remainder of the quarter the ball remained practically in mid-field with neither eleven having a decided advantage. The original lineup for Langley underwent a "general change when the second quarter opened, Tyrell, Kowa-leski, Camper, Brewer, Hetrlok, Owens, Fosse and Cornwall going in. With the ball in Langley's possession. Owens reeled off a 33-yard run. being downed on Gallaudet's 20-yard line.

Successive bucks carried the ball to Gallaudet's three-yard line and Owens went over for a touchdown. The kick for an extra point went wide. Langley 6, Gallaudet 0. Langley Scores Twice Langley Field was full of pep when the teams returned to the field for the third quarter. The Aviators kicked off and Gallaudet's three line smashes yielded but five yards and O'Brano-vich kicked to his own 48-yard lino.

Langley's first down netted a yard and on the next play Kerr broke through, eluded the entire backfield and raced up the field for a touchdown, not a single Gallaudet player touching him. Again the try for goal failed. The third and final touchdown came as the quarter ended. A Gallau-detklck was blocked on their own 18-yard line but Gallaudet recovered. On the fourth down the kick traveled less than 10 yards and Langley again was within scoring distance.

Kerr slipped through for 20 yards and Cornwell added 10 more. Fighting desperately in the shadow of their goal, Monaghan stopped three attempts to get around his end and the fourth attempt also failed. Gallaudet kicked to their own 25-yard line" but Langley came back, fighting hard, and using straight football, shoved over the third touchdown, with a neatly executed off -tackle play, Worthington carrying the ball." 4 Coach Usher called in his reserves, making substitution after substitution during the final quarter. The Aviators once had the ball within Gallaudet's 10-yard line and their followers yelled for another touchdown but Monaghan smeared the plays and O'Branovich played safe by getting off a nice kick when the ball went over to the visitors. The only hope for the Gallaudet team was the overhead route but Langley found little difficulty in batting the ball down.

On Gallaudet's 45-yard Una the ball went over when a kick was so feeble that it traveled to the sidelines a distance of a yard and again Langley swept down the field on pretty runs by Cornwell, Owens and Kerr. Gallaudet took another brace and held for downs as the gams ended near midfield. The lineup: Langl.y Field Pos.

Bluenose outsailed Thebaud on every leg of the course sailed.

Robinson added the yardage needed at center for another and It looked as though the Techmen were touchdown bound.

Just when Tech cheers were loudest, however, the Indian line stopped the march. With the Indians holding the ball on the Tech 35 yard line, Palese dropped, back to try a pass. But the Tech yne swept through and smothered hlra -fir a loss of 15 yards. Palese was hurt as three tacklers hit him. Punts were traded a pair of times, kickers for both sides lifting long spirals.

Tech opened up with a variety of plays, using a double pass followed by a lateral pass but they had better luck with straight running attacks. Starting on their 30 yard line they kept Tech backs pounding the line for first down at mldfleld. Porterfield's nine yard dash around left end was a feature. Tech, however, had to kick.
