The very potent passing combination of Sims and Konemann completed a great pass for the second touchdown. Sims fired a 41 -yard aerial to Konemann, who took it at top speed and ran 18 additional yards to the goal line. This was in the second period. The Jackets looked a bit spotty here and there, particularly on defensive line play, but for the most part there was plenty for supporters to cheer about. It was obvious that the Jackets were a bit lax in pass defense.

They'll continue to lay stress on this department of play during the week. Staff photo by George Cornett. tackle to put the ball i midfield in the early part of the Sewanee game yesterday.

By Alan Gould. NEW YORK. Oct. 3. (AP) The greatest crowd in World Series history, 64.S42 fins, who filled the expansive Yankee stadium nearly to capacity, saw the Yankees capitalize the breaks of the third game in New York's baseball civil war today to beat the Giants, 2 to 1, despite the spectacular four-hit hurling of Fred Fitzsimmons, 3 5-year-old Arcadia chicken tarmer and exponent of the baffling knuckle ball.

SAN FORD FIELD, ATHENS, Oct.

3. The city of Decatur, with some help from Savannah, defeated Furman University at football here this afternoon, 13 to 0. You might say that Atlanta added a little help. too. But it was a couple of young citizens from Decatur who broke down the Ftrrman defenses this afternoon.

It will go in the boobs as a victory for Georgia, but once more I'll have to say it was the town of Decatur which supplied the scoring ammunition. Fnrman had stuck closer to Georgia than was comfortable for most of Faces Giants Today SAN FORD FIELD, ATHENS, Oct. 3. Well, here we are in the Classic City, and the town is laughing at that freshman from the small Georgia town who came to school to show the boys how to dress. He wore plenty stuff on that hair to make it stay just so.

And this morning, having a date to go to the game this afternoon with a freshman co-ed, he went to the barber shop. The barber looked at that hair and said, "Shall 1 cut the hair or just change the oil? The football scene never grows old. And I think maybe the freshmen make the more colorful. The Georgia freshmen wear red caps and the co-eds, many of them, have red berets. Furman's freshmen, here to soak up that college spirit they saw in the movies before going to college, help out with purple caps.

Over in the cheering section there starts the old, old action cheers, catcalls and whistles, with the band alternating. There vanaernut 1 niversity ommoaores overwhelmed the Maroons, 37 to 0, before 15,000 spectators. The visitors stopped the Chicago offense cold, and scored in every period but the third. Coach Ray Morrison's heavy, hard charging line repeatedly smashed through to halt Maroon plays almost before they had started. Chicago made only one scoring bid.

A 2U-yard aeiral by Omar Fareed to Gillerlain and another nine-yard toss to Lawson put the ball on Purple Tigers from Sewanee. 08 to O.

It was when the loudspeaker had announced there' was one minute to play that the Decatur fireworks began to pop. And their exhibition came at a moment when Furman was driving to the Georgia goal. Furman had the ball first down at the Georgia 15. And this fellow here was theme that promised endless possibilities.

A few minutes later Iliggins slashed through for another score after Hall recovered a Maroon fumble.

MR. EARS WHITWORTH. Mr. Ears Whitworth, the flying scout, was here again today. iWr.

Whitworth dropped down out of the skies just before noon, making a gas stop at Montgomery. Mr. Whitworth, who does the eagle-eye work for Old Lou's football office, flies to games with the school pilot, Dean J. P. Frain.

He is dean of the areonautical school at L. S. U. We will have to change our idea of deans. The usual idea of a dean is some deeply scholastic with a dome worn hairless because of the extra work done by thinking machinery beneath it.

But here is a dean who climbs into a plane and gets it there, night or day. Ears Whitworth was here last Saturday and flew back to Baton Rouge in time for the night game with Rice. hum 1 urn 11 I'll 1 ire passed 20 yards and Konemann was there to take it in stride and run 25 more yards to the first touchdown. The same two principals responded to a curtain call in the second period. And this time they collaborated on one of the most brilliant acts of pitching and catching seen at the Flats in many a day.

Pirns, the unassuming villain, re- penetrate Xulanes iron wall of defense, which had been built by Lowell (Kl) Dawson. The main weapon of the Alabamans fell down flat by passers shooting the ball out of reach of the receivers. Today's game represented the fourth tie during the campaign dating back to and left the history score 7 to ti in favor of Tulane. Auburn looked like the victor in the first few minutes of play by carrying the ball to Tulane's four-yard line on a first down, but Kilgore. Auburn's fullback, fumbled the ball and Hall.

Tulane's right cuard, recovered and Bucky Bryan kicked to the 50-yard line and the ball was out of danger. WAVE TAKES HEART. With the first quarter behind them, the Tulane "underdogs'' took heart and forced the play of the second quarter virtually entirely in midfield. In the third quarter Auburn started out with blood in their eyes and Billy Hitchcock, brother of the great star. Jimmy Hitchcock, was worked nearly to exhaustion trying to turn gains into touchdowns.

He played a great game along with Fenton and Kilgore. but the Tulane defense was too much for them. Hitchcock did some fancy passing in this period, getting the ball to Tulane's 14-yard line in tosses to Williams, end. and Eaves, end, bin Auburn lost the ball on downs and Tulane kicked the ball to midfield. TIGERS THREATEN.

Chagrined by this scoreless business, i the Plainsmen pressed hard for a touchdown in the last period. Auburn opened an aerial attack with Blake hurling to Williams for 23 yards and the tossing to Eaves for first down on Tulane's 32-yard line. Fenton went off tackle to the Wave's 17-yard line and another pass, Hitchcock to Williams, took the ball to Tulane's S-yard line. Andrews knocked down the next Auburn pass and I Tnlane got the ball on their own 32. Moss.
