Score, 57 to 0 Struppa and Duncan the Stars. By Dick JemtsoB. Transylvania's much vaunted strength tailed to materialise at Grant field Saturday afternoon, the Tech Yellow Jackets romping home easy winners by the lopsided score of 57 to 0. Transylvania's offensive failed to materialize. It was either smeared before It hit the line of scrimmage by the Tech forwards or was nailed after only a short headway by the Tech secondary defense.

On one occasion the secondary defense did not meet the plays quick enough and the Kentuck lans managed to make a couple of first downs before the locals got their bear ings again. ally.

In the main it went smoothly, and the Jackets had to ried their attack with a buck, teokla smash and an ei 3 the little aside from regulation, old 'and kept this up continuously through the game. Strappa the Star.

Struppa, the young halfback who to the Jackets from the Rlverslrto Military academy, was the bright par i local field. As slippery as an eel.a splendid side stepper, the whirling kind of broken field runner who twirls himself loose from a tackier. Struppa made run after run for twice the distance that anyone expected him to make when the opposing tacklers were closing in on him. Four times during the game he ran through the entire Transylvania team for touchdowns. On one occasion he man was found holding.

On other occasions he made repeated long gains, squirming, dodging, twisting his way along and always coming out in the Fielder, Johnston. Hill and Spc 'also did splendid work in advanc the ball on the end runs, while Go Spence, Senter and Beard gaping holes in the visitors' line Repeated short gains that wore tl Heisman used most of his subs, ery man was relieved at some st the subs looked.
