Wycoff and Barron Cross Oglethorpe Goal; Campbell Runs Pass Over Jacket Line y4Y lfr BY GEORGE CONGDON. A tow-headed stripling, yet a post-graduate itf the science' of gridiron warfare, Saturday on Grant field "brought the difference between Tech and Oglethorpe season-opening strength down to a meager six points, as the Golden Tornado eked out a l3-to-7 victory over the fern BEARS Series Barron, who had fumbled, redeemed himself right here for that play by snatching up the oval and racing back to Oglethorpe's 7-yard line before he was thrown. With just 7 yards and four downs between Tech and a touchdown, the Oglethorpe crowd lined itself into a stone wall, and when fourth down came with one yard to o. Wyekoff couldn't make it. Campbells got only 25 yards on his punt out and then Wyekoff returned the ball to the Petrel 5-yard line.

Two 'plays carried the ball over and it was Wyekoff who rammed through. On the first play Doug drove through right tackle for four yards and then repeated on the play for a dash of 16 yards over the last line. Ike Williams failed to kick goal iruin placement, Jeaving Tech the long end of a 0 to 0 score at the end of the half. No Tech Breaks. Lasfr year against Oglethorpe Tech profited largely by the breaks for its 19 to 0 score.

Against Oglethorpe Saturday Tech didn't have a single "break." But honors were even on the breaks yesterday, for Oglethorpe worked for every yard it gained. The Petrels registered 8 first downs against the Jackets, but largely on account of penalties against Tech amounting to 40 yards. Against Oglethorpe Tech made 10 first downs. Six first downs were marked up by Tech in the attack that brought the Tornado its second touchdown, when Carter Barron dived headlong squarely through the arms of Campbell, after an end run that amounted to 6 yards. Tech's drive for the second touchdown began from the Tornado's own 28-yard line at the last quarter.

Connelly, at fullback in place of Sam Murray, drove over center for a 17 yard gain and first down. Then he banged over for another 4 yards. Wright, on two right tackle drives, made 5 yards, and then Connelly tore through the hole that Godwin bad opened for 4 more yards and second first down. Barron, going around left end for 4 yards and smashing off right tackle for 6 yards more, accounted for the third first down of the drive. Godwin Opens Hole.

ith the ball on its 29-yard line, Oglethorpe held against the attempt of Wright to ski.t right end profitably, but when this- failed Godwin again kicked open the hole at guard and Connelly cut through for 11 yards ami fourth first down. Barron skirted left end for 6 yards and Connelly went over center for another to give Tech its fifth consecutive first down and the ball on the Petrel 5-yard line. A power in driving the ball down the field, Barron was given the oval for the touchdown, and he dived through Campbell's arms to that touchdown. Where Campbell stood alone as Oglethorpe's power in attack and defense, Tech showed the finest bunch of material that Coach W. A.

Alexander has trotted on a football field in four or five years. From a wealth of backfield stuff Alexander whippM pony after pony into play, and switched his linemen with effectiveness. One of the bright spots of line play by the new men was the way the giant Tiny Hearn trotted about his tackling business. Hearn broke through the Oglethorpe line half a dozen times "to threw the Petrel backs for losses. Hearn, by h'in play Saturday, turned a lot of speculation as-to whether he would be of value at all into just how great a lineman he will eventually become.

Marshall and Merkle boxed out Oglethorpe ends effectively and cut in back of -the Petrel line oa delayed bucks and double passes, catching the fleet Maurer ami the even more spectacular Campbell for losses. Tharpe and Godwin on the left side of Tech's line were able to do Saturday what Tech's line labored all last year to do. Thi pair opened gaping holes that two runners, instead of one, could easily drive through. The only reason Continued on Page 3, Column 5.

WILDCATS WIN CLOSE GAME Lexington. September 2G. After playing mediocre football ioi)t the first half and throughout the first calf and tae greater rart of the third quarter without giving a hint of their real ability, the Wildcats of the University of Kentucky rallied their strength in time to defea't Maryville college, 13 to in the opening game of the 1925 sea son on Still field today.

V-tji .1. BYH.C. HAMILTON, Staff Correspondent of The Constitution. Fort Worth, Texas, September 26. (Special.) Playing their first game away from home in the Dixie series before a crowd of i 1,012 Fort Worth fans this afternoon, the Crackers, champions of the Southern league, wallowed for the second time in the mire of defeat, losing by a score of 6 to 2.

The score scarcely tells the story of the utter helplessness of the Crack- against the spit-ball hurling of retreis. The opening football combat of the season and a game that is annually growing in its interest, the Tech-Ogle-thorpe melee Saturday gave the 10,000 rabid football fans of Atlanta who saw it an ample eyeful. The difference of 6 points in the score is the nearest that the Petrels have ever come to equaling the drive of the Techmen. Last season the Petrels were 19 points behind Tech at the end of play, and that was the nearest they had ever come to the Jackets in five years of competition. It was tow-headed Nutty Campbell, a quarterback by trade, at Oglethorpe who today can feel his glory.

Beside Campbell, Adrian Maurer, the man who caused Tech to play Douglas Wycoff as safety, was compelled to bask in the reflection of Campbell's glory. It was Campbell's timely snagging of Maurer's pass that brought Oglethorpe its only touchdown. And it was Campbell, playing safety, who did all that one man could do toward stopping the kind of a drive that Tech put on for its two touchdowns. Against this sparkling play by Campbell, of the conquered clan, Tech matched its Wycoff. its Barron, its Connelly and its Wright, as backfield men, and the finest line that Tech has had since 1920.

Tech's strength Saturday was in its line. It was a tearing, raging, relentless force that permitted gains only in times when Tech was safely ahead. Oglethorpe's forward pass was the only attack it failed to stop and the passes Oglethorpe completed, two in number, found their way safely into Petrel wings that were outspread in the company of Tech's backs rather than its linesmen. Petrels' Last Stand. Campbell wrote down Oglethorjie's 7 points in the capture of a forward pass from Maurer and in a perfectly placed drop kick for goal after touchdown.

It was Oglethorpe's last stand of the game, after the Tornado had gone down the field ip two dazzling drives. In the last quarter, when Tech was permitting Oglethorpe to frolic in its front yard, in the very shadow of the goal posts, Campbell, at quarter, took the matter in bis own bands and engineered the plays that brought the Petrels their score. Oglethorpe's stand for a touchdown began on Tech's 20-yard line. Maurer gained three yards on a double pass before McRae, Tech substitute quarterback, brought him down. Kilgore, a powerful line bucker in the S.

I. A. banged his way through center, but was stopped nt two yards. On third down, with 15 yards to go for a touchdown, Campbell took his chance. There had been three passes before he called this one.

One had given the Petrels seven yards and a first down. The other two had fallen incomplete. Maurer took the snap from center, backed off and let it slide. Five yards from the goal line Campbell smothered it under his arm, pivoted and broke across the last marked just before Brewer and Hearn, of Tech. brought him down unceremoniously.

Tech's pair of touchdowns came after smashing offensives. Wycoff scored ojic, but Carter Barron, the man who crossed the Petrel line with the other had his fingers in the scoring of the first one bv Wycoff. Tech Starts Drive. Tech began its drive for victory in the first quarter just after the menace of Oglethorpe's forward pass had been indicated by the completion of a 7-yard pass from Maurer to Campbell. Barron began bis deadly work of covering ground right after this, tearing off 14 yards around left end on his first dash for distance.

Wycoff allowed with a sprint around right end that was terminated by Campbell, of course, but not until Wycoff had left a 28-yard gain in his path. With the ball on Oglethorpe's 22-yard line, Barron, on second fumbled and Carroll, Petrel end, recovered to run the ball back toward Tech territory a scant two yards. Maurer lost a yard at left tackle, but Campbell gained three yards around: the right end and then Kilgore fumbled back of the line of scrimmage. Pittsbnrjr, September 26.

He defeated William Mchlhorn of Chicago, 0 nnd 5, though the latter was three under fours himself. The contest, which probably has never been equaled for spectacular scoring in the history of golf, was played over courses three and four at the Olympia Fields Country club and was watched by some 3,000 persons, who were drenched in a heavy rain during the last five boles. It was only near the close, after struggling against the impossible for 27 holes that Mchlhorn weakened perceptibly under the unmerciful and persistent attacks of the former British open champion and lost bis cunning. Naturally to shoot sucli superhuman golf llagcn had to have some breaks of luck. But even without this assistance he probably would have scored heller than par and likely would have won for he not only captured an eagle 8 on the first hole which is r.15 yards long but he bagged four birdies and shot perfect par on all the other -l holes.

Mchlhorn had a few bad breaks and made a few poor shots but he also shot an eagle on the 513-yard second hole of the third course in the cfte noon, snared four birdies and was above par on only six holes, playing 20 perfectly. While par for both Nos. 3 and 4 courses is S3 on each nine, the addition of only 22 yards on the first nine of No. 4 would make it only 87. so that Hagen in scoring 32 on that quarter virtually had three eagles and Mehlhorn in taking no more than 33 on the same nine had an eagle and three birdies.

The second nine of No. 4 lacks only three yards on the tenth and one yard on the 18th to have a par of aud Hagen in chalking un a 34 for this quarter for a Thi" remarkable shooting by Hagen netted him only one hole on the first nine and two on the second, making him three np at the half-way mark. In the same manner the first half of No. 3 course lacks only 41 yards of having a par of 37 so that Hagen virtually got four birdies on that nine in shooting 33 and Mehlhom's 34 in reality got two birdies and an eagle. DIXIE SERIES HAS DRAWN $50213.12 Fort Worth, Texas.

September 2f. tP) The official attendance at today's Atlanta-Fort Worth game was announced as 11,012, which is some 5,000 under the record for a local Dixie eerie? game. It is predicted that the record figure will be shattered at tomorrow's game. The attendance at the opening game in Atlanta was in excess of 14,000. The total attendance for the three games thus far played is with receipts totaling Tomorrow's receipts will be the last in which the players will share.

Their share so far is $24,116.69. a second game he was butchered by the Bear hitters. "That," said the manager, ''is what the Crackers are going to do about it and you can tell the folks back home that Niehoff didn't have such a good day today." The Panthers began firing in the second inning. Bagby had mowed them flown in one, two. three order in the first, but Konetchy, first man up in the second inning, reached second base when lied Smith let his hard-hit grounder slither through the Smyh legs to the outfield.

That was the first error, of several made by the Crackers during the course of an otherwise very good ball game. Eddie Palmer followed with a double to left field and Konetchy scored. Etiington walked, but Palmer was out at third when Windle tried to sacrifice. Moore smacked one to Gazella, who threw to Niehoff, forcing Windle. but Bert tossed the ball away and Edington counted.

There you are, with twt unearned runs. In the fourth Edington drew his second base on balls after one man was down, Windle forced him and scored a moment later when Moore socked the ball out of the park. Bert Wild Again. In the sixth, Koney beat ont one of the slowest rollers in the history of baseball, but was forced, Gazella to Niehoff, on Palmer's sharp crack over second base. Mike made one Continued on Page 2, Column 5.

Paul Wachtel, whose moist delivery is barred by Southern league rnles. Just to point to bis mastery over the Atlantans, It ls only necessary to mention the fact that Wilbur Good, the dependable, struck out no less than three times and popped tip a weak foul on bis other trip to the plate. Bert Niehoff contributed no little to the general hilarity prevalent in this city tonight, for the generally accurate manager twice tried to throw the ball over the grand stand instead of into 'the hands of Kod Murphy, and runs resulted each time. Not Bagby's Fault. Sergeant Jim Bagby, veteran of these tough series, pitched a magnificent game and deserved to' win.

He held the Panthers to six hits, one of which was a home run with a-man on base, and two others of which were So that you may have an idea of how good the sergeant was, we will point out to you that their firtt two runs were scored on one hit, tiir second pair on one hit and the third pair on two hits. The Crackers, however, were almost as good in doing their scoring, for they needed only one hit to get their first marker, and their second came on a single on also. Tomorrow the enrds may hold a different fate for our heroes. Pug Cavet possibly will work, and we are staring no spit-ball thins in the eye just now. The genius in 'the good left arm of the former Xew Orleans pitcher already has laid the Cats low once, and both he and Bert Xiehoff are confident the trick can be turned again.

Opposed to the tall southpaw will be either Jimmy Walkup, a lefthander, or Lou North, a right-hander; neither, Bert Niehoff contends, will have any reason for believing he has not fonnd a fountain of base bits and runs. Niehoff Optimistic The Crackers have seen no spit-ball pitching this year and their eyes are not trained to that sort of delivery. They uave seen spitballs before, lots of them, with the exception of Nick Cullop, who was giving the queer delivery the "oo" for the first time. Bert Niehoff recalled this after today's '-game and added that ho remembered perfectly that Wachtel had beaten tlie Mobile club in one arne, bat that when he attempted Tke exhibition turned in by the! total of 00 virtually got three birdies Wildcats was" disappointing to Head jj' nTl22J middle of this nine to all purposes Coach Mnrrhy and fans. three birdies total 37 for a 70.
