The touchdown, made by Key on a play through guard which found him veering sharply to the right after passing the scrimmage line, climaxed an advance from Georgia's 37. Shortly afterward, Chandler broke off tackle for 76 yards and the fourth touchdown. Chandler had a clear field until he ran into Galloway, Tech's safety man on the 25, but he managed to elude the last Tech barrier and romped over for the touchdown.

Manes, Robert E. Lee, clinched the other halfback position with nine votes. Lane, Hillsborough halfback, was the victim of another strange trick in the writers' poll. He carried off six votes for fullback, mainly because the bland youngster has pulverized oppos- ing lines all season with sharp off-tackle stabs. Lane's selection proved the surprise of the poll.
