Before a homecoming crowd of 15.000, a versatile Georgia Tech football team walloped the University of Florida, 21 to 7, here today. The game, one of the most spectacular" played on Florida field in many years, found the Gators outclassed, but fighting gamely until the final whistle.

Almost everything that could happen in a football game, did happen here today, with Tech's famed razzle-dazzle offense puzzling the Gator defense throughout. The Tech ball-carriers went back to the early days of football to dig up Statue of Liberty plays, then mixed them up with the smartest and most-up-to-date triple reverses to out-maneuver the Florida line.

(A.P.) Ed Miles, Journal sports writer, said in a story from Gainesville, today that Jack Baldwin, chairman of Miami's Orange bowl committee conferred with Coach W. A. Alexander of Georgia Tech in Jacksonville yesterday. "Baldwin and Alexander reached no definite conclusion," Miles wrote. "The Orange bowl officials wanted to wait until Tech has played Florida and Georgia.

Coach Alexander wants a definite bid by Wednesday in order to tell California, which is scheduled to play in Atlanta Dec. 30, that their game with Tech is off. Big Red Squad Smashes Out 26 to 0 Win Wolverines Score 21-14 Win Before 80,000 the first score. After this, the Gators roared back with a vengeance, to score with one of the most spectacular plays of ths game. With the ball in mid-field, Red Harrison, the Gators' sensational sophomore, passed to Fergie Ferguson on the Tech 25.

Ferguson on being tackled, lateraled to Mush Bat-tista, a guard, who ran the rest of the way to the score. Charley Tate then boeted the ext.ra point to tie the score. The Yellow Jackets turned on their power twice in the second quarter, scoring twice. In two beautiful offensive when they seemed to be able to gain at will, Tech drove and passed to two touchdowns and when halftime rolled arovnd," the Gators were behind by 21 to 0. In this half the Jackets scored seven more points against the Gators than had any of their other opponents in a complete game.

Attack Slows Down In the second half the Jackets, seemingly satisfied with their safe lead, played more conservative football and were content to hold the Gators where they were. The score would have been much higher if it hadn't been for the fact that in the second half the Tech pass receivers were unable to hold on to the aerials. The Floriia team, led by their gallant captain, Clark Goff, fought to the last minute but obviously for a lost cause. Although it was evident they were outclassed in every department of ths game, the Gators played their best ball of the season. The game itself, rough' but cleanly played, was marked by numerous injuries.

In this department the Gators suffered most when, at one time or another, four of the best players had to be helped from the field and were unable to return. Bud Walton, tailback: John Smith, tackle; Andy Beno, fullback, and Mush Battista, guard, were the victims of hard and vicious blocking and tackling by the Yellow Jackets Anderhold, Tech tackle, was also forced to leave the game with a knee injury.

Midway in it the Trojans, who had not yet allowed Notre Dame to penetrate past the 50-yard line, started a march from the Irish 33, and the leader of the attack was Doyle Nave, the youngster won the Rose bowl game last New Year's. Bold as a second story worker, and as true a strike thrower with a football as Bob Feller is with a baseball, Nave started whanging the ball down the slot. He finally pegged one to Slatter for a first down on the Irish two-yard line.

On second down Nave crashed over the touchdown line but as he went over the ball plopped from his arms, and bounced crazily in the end zone.

(United Press.) In a three-ring circus of a football game that kept a crowd of 50,000 pop-syed and panicky for the full 60 minutes, the Trojans of Southern California defeated Notre Dame, 20 to 12, here today.

Almost everything that has ever been seen on a fcotball field was shown as the big men of the west kept their record clear of defeat and handed the Irish their second licking of the season. There were brilliant, heart-stopping touchdown runs of 60 and 40 yards; there were gcalline stands maie within inches of the payoff land: there were fumbles as backs crossed the line for scores, and there passes enough to keep the air in violent commotion. Not until the field was almost blanketed with darkness, and the hands of the timing clock showed only a few secends to play, ould any spsc-tator, be he Notre Dame or Southern California backer, feel certain of the outcome. Trojans Score Early Southern California started the game as if out to make a rout of it. Fewer than seven minutes of the first period had elapsed when the Trojans climaxed a slamming down-the-field ANN ARBOR, Nov.

25. (Associated Press.) Ohio State university won at least a share of the Western conference football championship today in much the same manner that Max Schmeling won the world's heavyweight title flat on its back. Michigan's wily Wolverines wrecked the Buckeye hopes of a "clean" conference season by spotting Ohio two first-period touchdowns and then roaring back to win by 21 to 14, the second time this year that Ohio State surrendered a two-touchdown edge. Cornell came from behind earlier in the campaign to hand the Buckeyes their only previous loss. Tom Harmon, Michigan's mighty halfback, stood head and shoulders above the rest of the field, his passing and running constituting a one-man victory parade but Buckeye mistakes cost Ohio State the laurels.

The boys from high above Cayuga's waters, shooting for their first perfect season since 1932, poured on all their power from the opening whistle and completely smothered the Quakers. Penn, however, was not the same team which fought Michigan tooth and nail last week before losing 19-17.

Eishth Win for Cornell It was the eighth triumph of the season for Cornell, an underweight club which threw body blocks that could be heard in the stands. Other victims of this same which sprung backs into the clear from a dazzling array of reverses and laterals, were Syracuse. Princeton, Penn State, Ohio State, Columbia, Colgate and Dartmouth.

The superiority of the Cornell attack was evident as te Quaker backs were held to a total of 69 yards throughout the 60 minutes of play, while the Big Red rolled up 244 yards from scrimmage. Purdue was leading, 7 to 0. at the MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. 25.

Forty thousand persons saw the two teams fight against the chance of keeping Chicago company in the depths of the Big Ten.

But the Gophers came roaring back, scoring in the second after Harold Van Every ran 24 yards to the Wisconsin one-yard lire. Minnesota made it in 14 6 in the third and got nine more in the fourth, including a safety on a blocked Badger punt.
