On the pram-Tug feet, of Kd wards and Konenian and Sim and McKinley and Hays; in the flying power in tlp legs of Appleby and Iteard and Street; through the accuracy in the arms of Moore ami Street, the Tech advance continued.

It rolled over a team that contained 27 play rior Georgia Eleven. By Jack Troy. CHAMBERLAIN FIELD. CHATTANOOGA, Oct. 5.

The dice rolled snake eyes, so to speak, for Fcrappy Moore's hard-fishtins band of Moccasins today and Georgia's big red army, displaying a varied and brilliant offensive in which power figured prominently, steam-rolled to a crushing 40-to-0 victory here this afternoon. Hard as they tried ou passes and running plays, the Moccasions never got close to the Georgia goal. That smashing Georgia line wouldn't have it. And the secondary was something else ou defense, with the exception of a bit of weakness on pass defense. When the Chattanoognns needed to complete a pass to sustain a drive, however, it was a different story.

The Bulldog defenders rose up and smote the challenger. From the time big Maurice Green drove over the goal line as the climax of a 38-yard drive for the first touchdown, fumbled and Andy Kodenberry recovered for the score, the ball game was all Georgia's. One must admire a team like Chattanooga that battled so desperately, but the Bulldogs simply had too many teeth. When they clamped down there was no shaking loose. The six touchdowns were scored, in order, by Rodenberry, John Bond, Hill Hartman.

Johnny Jones. Glenn Johnson and Causey. Jones made his on an intercepted Chattanooga, of course, opened up with a desperate pas attack and some of them connected. But not when they counted. Most of the completions occurred around midfield.

Extra points were kicked by Bond (2), Causey and Young. 19 FIRST DOWNS. Georgia made IS earned first downs I lo ft If ers who had jibovp-t he-average spe and fighting spirit. It exhausted that learn that had come upon the lieb and one that was unearned. Chattanooga got just six.

Had it not been for the officials, who were unusually free in slapping on penalties against Georgia, there is no telling how many first downs the Bulldogs might have made. But after all this is a game in which points and not first downs figure in the victory. And the many penalties for one thing and another may have been deserved. Georgia tried eight passes and completed three. Chattanooga tried 12 and completed four.

The first invasion of Georgia's big Red Army on foreign soil was greeted bv a crowd of better than 3.000. garbed in dazzling uniforms and grim determination, a team that came to the Flats keyed for this encounter, a contest in which victory would make success of the season, no matter the result hereafter. It was an attack new to the lats. It employed end runs that the Episcopalian flanks back upon themselves and spread the defence. It was an attack that slashed off tackle, crashed over guard and rammed center to draw the defense back in.

It was an attack that screened parses out past the ends or heaves far down the field when the frontal ns-atilt had drawn the outposts in close. And. above all. it was an attack that was intelligently ami at times brilliantly directed. STAKTIJMi.

In the fourth quarter the defense cf And, needless to say, they were rath er impressed with the drive, power and versatility displayed by the invaders. Frank Johnson played a brilliant game in the Georgia line. He was here and there and every i cr was displayed in startling ii es but at that time it functionc, against a team hopelessly beaten. 'n three consecutive plays this perioi "Scrappy" Edwards will probably score many touchdowns for Georgia Tech, but it will be a long time before he regis- ters 6 points on his whiskers. This remarkable action picture landing on his stubby beard for a touchdown on the first play shows the fighting sophomore halfback making a one-point I of the second period.

And Leroy Moorehead, his running mate, was a powerhouse in disguise. Then, too, Harry Harman, Atlanta boy playing right tackle, was brilliant. Playing with a nose guard, Harman broke through innumerable times to break up Chattanooga plays and blocked magnificently on offense.
