The Ulue and Gold battleship of the University of Chattanooga, after being buffeted about over the breakers of a stormy Chamberlain came staccato-like Comparing Tech and Georgia. T)IRM1NGHAM, November 29. Just one year ago today a lot of Tech folks were sitting' in beautiful Legion field watching the Bulldog of Georgia gnaw the trousers off the Crimson Tide of Alabama.

That same day they were listening to the Tech-Auburn score over the radio from Atlanta it was 19-0 if memory serves and they were wondering what would happen the next week when this Bulldog went after the Yellow Jackets. There were a few dissenting voices that day but most of them thought the Bulldog would bite the Yellow Jacket severely if not promiscuously. That Tech-Georgia game, is history, blinding, red-letter history in the Georgia book of sports. Now comes another year. Today the Bulldog was easy prey for the Tide.

The same Tide that fell before the Tornado just two weeks ago by a score of 33-13, laid their red and white over the red and black of Georgia like a dollar over a dime. But wait. Remember last year? Georgia looked far superior to Tech then and you know what happened without being- reminded. Tech looks far superior to Georgia this year. What will happen on December Tech should win and should win handily but oh well, let it go.

About this game today. Picking a few high spots from what proved to be a very interesting though rather lustiless game is. rather difficult, but your correspondent came to Birmingham for the express purpose of trying to make a comparison between Georgia and Georgia Tech, based on their comparative showing against the Tide and here goes. A few definite conclusions may be drawn with the understanding that all conclusions are predicated upon the proposition that the Tide of today was the same Tide that met Tech. Such a predication is often erroneous but some standard must be accepted.

For the first declaration let us remark that the forward wall of the Georgia team today showed nothing like the strength of the Tornado line. While Alabama played the Tech line to standstill for two quarters, the Georgia line showed only spots of brilliancy on offense and on defense held firmly only under its own goal and that only in the early periods. The spotty ofiense offered by Georgia today may be taken two ways. The Bulldog was plainly not on top for this game. The fact that the Tide was outrushing the Bulldog forward wall hurt the Georgia offense but many times poor timing was more to blame for Georgia losses than faulty line work.

Georgia's punting was not by any means excellent. The average was just a bit over 30 yards. Tech should more than match this performance. Georgia made seven first downs against 22 for the Tide. The breaks in the game were about even so no stress may be laid on this point.

One dire weakness exhibited by Georgia today may have a large bearing on the game in Atlanta next week. The Bulldogs tried 13 passes Albright Lebanon Valley 26. Brown 16: Colgate 13. Bucknell Temple 7 (tie). Catholic 40: Geo.

BY J. D. STREET, Associated Press Sports Writer. Nashville, November 29. (AP) While more than 10,000 followers who look on the Vanderbilt-Sewanee feud as more than football rivalry roared "and ever the twain shall meet," the Commodores defeated the Purple Tigers here today for the twenty-ninth time in the 40th renewal of the.south's oldest gridiron classic.

All the touchdowns were concerned more or lsn To those who are prone to, scan passing enu of the game with the emphasis on the 14 lead and were knocking at the portals of the Chattanooga goal for a fourth counter.

Petrels Tie Score. Chattanooga took the lead in the second quarter but a moment later Oglethorpe came back to tie. Another Moccasin counter in tightening fashion and the the Moccasins led 14-to-17. Then in the second half the Petrels struck twice like a bolt from the blue and led 19-to-14. A safety gave the local aggregation two more points and then Coach Thomas' bov ran wild in the last quarter to scoV three touchdowns and put the old game on ice.

Kenneth Strong, nursing a shoulder which has kept him out of practice for weeks, came on to the field late in the second period to bring the stands to their feet with one of the most spectacular performances ever witnessed on a local gridiron. The Moccasins were fighting, back to the walls, in a desperate attempt to halt the Petrels when Coach Thomas sent Strong to warm up. Their advance momentarily halted the Petrels threw a pass over the line for a touchbaek and. the Moccasins came into possession on their own line. Pass For Score.

Kenneth came bounding onto the field rejoicing like a "Strong" maa to run a race and what a race he ran. the first play Barrett hurled to -0 yards to Strong who streaked the remaining 00 yards like a bolt from a giant howitzer. Cy Bell the fastest man on the Oglethorpe team, set out oue pace behind but the speed which gave Strong a national prep track record stood him in good stead as he outdistanced the Petrel flash.

Itichmond finished the season undefeated, being held to a scoreless tie by Savannah High school. The team has advanced a claim for the southern prep school championship. Boys High upset the dope by beating Lanier, which is recognized as one of the strongest teams in the state. Lanier tallied a touchdown in the first period, but could not hold the strong Atlanta team, which took to the air when threatened with defeat. Two touchdowns, one in the second period and the other near the close of the game, settled the argument.

SAVANNAH WINS OVER BENEDICTINE. Savannah, a November 29. (VP) Over 10.000 fans saw Savannah High school G. I. A.

A. championship contenders, march to an impressive 24-0 victory over Benedictin: school here this afternoon. Superior line play from end to end enabled the Blue team to stage four distinct drives, one in each period, to score touchdowns. The Jackets took the opening kickoff on their 20-yard stripe and marched 80 yards to their first touchdown without losing possession of the ball. Savannah High outplayed their opponents in every phase of the game, their only threat'eoming near the end of the half when a sudden air attack carried the ball inside the 25-yard furrow.

Glenn Johnson, freshmnn back, was the baekfield sensation of the game, scoring the first touchdown after gaining nearly 40 yards in the first drive. Jackets Crash Auburn, 51 to 0 Continued From First Page. only member of the "wrecking crew" who did not play. For the Plainsmen. Tuxworth was the shining light on offense.

He made the longest single Auburn gain when he twisted through the line and traveled 17 yards before he was brought down by an angry Jacket. His passes kept the Tech defense on its toes and many, of them fell into the hands of his ends and fellow backs. Sellers punctured the Tech line about as effectively as has any enemy hack this year, which, as you doubtless known, is not saying a great deal. And to that Tiger line must go a word of praise too. Granted that they were not facing the wrecking crew all the time nor were they faced by Tech's heaviest forwards at all times they charged well and with one or notable exceptions held for rather short gains.

Tech's longest gains and the majority of its yards were made in thrust otitside the tackles or in the air. Following the opening kickoff, with the season's records and judge teams accordingly, the score was amazingly low, but only those who do not understand the unexplainable spirit which goes with a Vandy-Sewanee gr.me examine records when the two meet. Armist Plugging. The constant plugging of Armi-stead, playing his last game for Van-derbilt, and C. Scheffer and 'the charges of "Bull" Brown, linesman extraordinary, won the game for Van-derbilt, but the steadfastness of the licht Sewanee line, with a season of and completed one of them for a net game of 15 yards.

Most of this due, not so much to lack of passers or receivers as to the fact that Alabama's linemen were rushing the passer to death every time he tried a heave. This same thing is quite likely to next week. And "u1 "ere were many others barely missed. Virginia ends let two long shots slip from their fingers' ends when they were within calling distance of the goal line. Lacking in Defense.

The two teams seemed lacking in defense but there could be no either was weak offensivefv. roin the outset it seemed that possession of the ball might be considered fair assurance that a touchdown would be made by the possessor. North Carolina braced once to stop the Virginians eight inches from the goal line but this magnificent last ditch postponed the fatal moment only brieflv for rginia got the ball over later after getting the ball from the Carolinians On a frnni few feet for a counter after he and Joe Scheffer had worked the ball down the field. The other touchdown came in the third period when C. Scheffer ran around end for 11 yards.

The Tigers were on the defense virtually all of the time and made but few efforts to gain. Their only rfiance for a touchdown went glimmering when they tried three passes, all unsuccessful, after they had blocked a Vandy punt on the Commodores' 16-yard line. The game ended the season for both teams, and closed the Vanderbilt career for Armistead, Hhe "bald eagle."

That was Me-t'rary, the mad bull they called him last year when he ripped through the line of all Georgia's opponents with force and abandon. This year Me-t'rarv had flashed occasionally, but his play was nothing like last year's, probably because he hasn't any too a line in front of him. The voting man found himself this afternoon. Of the 100 or more yards gained from scrimmage, McCrary tore off 72 of them with his forceful rushes through the center of the line, aided by an occasional gallop around end. Campbell Is Star.

The man's performance was overshadowed by mad runs of Monk Campbell, who hurtled himself through I ho openings made by the line in front of him. slashed off tackle, went around end for the amnsung total of 145 yards and worked on the starting end "of a simple double pass that bronght Alabama a large part of its 'jiHt yards gained from scrimmage during the day. It was Campbell who s--ored the Tide's first two touchdowns. And when it wasn't Campbell who was advancing the ball, then it was usually that powerful piece of football machinery, "Mad Anthony" Holm. Holm, should anyone ever ask you, is a football player.

It was he and Campbell who spelled that 19-0 defeat of Georgia this afternoon. On offense Georgia could do little. Tide lineman broke through and spilled play before they w-ere well underway. They tackled hard and they As we said lwfore, McCrary was the only man who could got through. Other times Alabama's linemen carried Georgia forwards completely out of the way and had the G'-orgia back nailed usually before he was even started.

First Half Even Battle. Georgia, in the first half, held the Til on fairly even terms. The Tide line. battering away continually, lifidn't ilite- gotten the Bulldog down. 'The Bulldog stopped a of determined Alabama marches; in the first quarter, made one and the period ended.

0-0, then Tide started another goal marcTi in the sceond quarter got the ball 'own to Georgia's two-yard line, with lour downs to make the remaining dis-isii'-e, and Campbell literally dove th rough hole barely large enough to admit the passage of his body and landed on the wrong side of Georgia's goal line for the first score. The half ended with 'Bama leading, (1-0, Laut-zenhiser's huge bulk blocking Skid-more's try for the precious point after touchdown. There were times in this first period when Georgia threatened. The Bulldogs, in the first quarter, worked the ball down to Alabama's 20-yard line; Hill attempted to pass; a w-11 of white-shirted Alabamans rushed through and he tried to run but was hauled down and the ball went over. Another time Hill passed to Red Smith, who fell just as he caught the ball.

Had he kept his feet and caught it. ta touchdown would have followed. But that's the way this same goes, and you have to take 'em like they come. Georgia played hard, tried 'hard and fought io the last. But when With a line outrushing the opposition, Georgia has at least one baekfield that ranks very nearly with any Tech can put in the field.

Herdis McCrary, the wild bull of Indiana, is a faster starter and almost as hard a runner as Lumpkin. Every time he got an opening today he gained good yardage but Georgia was holding back. They used only about half a dozen plays all afternoon. Perhaps you can find one reason for that if you look forward about 10 days to Grant field. Hill is a good field general and would punt much better if his blocking were better.

Hooks was not up to form today and neither was Dudley but it all goes back to the same precept Alabama's line was out- 1 rushing the Bulldog all the afternoon. At the end Georgia is weak. Defensively, Martin showed well when he was at the left wing but Ed Smtth is no such end as Maffet, who will probably' play against Tech. One thing Georgia did not show today was a safety man anything like Thomason. Few chances were offered from returns of punts when the chance came neither Hill nor Johnson showed himself to be a "Stumpy." Just by way of comment it might be added here that there are very few "Stumpys" in this game of football.

Georgia's tackling today was generally good. Their secondary was alert enough to stop Campbell one of the finest running backs in the conferenceevery time he broke through the line on his famous spin play, which was very often. His longest gain was 15 yards but he would have been over the goal many a time with a less alert secondary against him. He gained 159 yards from scrimmage against the Bulldogs but most of his yardage could be laid directly to the superior line play of the Tide. In Georgia's forward wall there, were two hubs of strength around which the rest of the line revolved.

They were the two co-captains, Lautzenhiser and Jacobson. Their work on defense was outstanding even in defeat. The firm of Thrash, Maree, Watkins, Sloan. Drennon, Westbrooke, Brooke and company will be hard pressed to preserve their laurels against these two men at tackle and guard. Fat Bryant at the guard position opposite Jacobson also dealt disaster to the Tide more than once.

Such figures of comparison could go on forever without any more definite conclusion being reached. From what has gone before it is needless now to say that the Tech-Georgia game of next Saturday shows nothing but a Tech victory according to all the dope. What does dope amount to in the Tech-Georgia game? You may answer that question for yourself. iu uupm wno ran to Carolina's five-yard line and Faulconer took it over in two plays. Faulconer also kicked the goal.

North Carolina then showed tlmt turn-about was fair play, for after taking the second kick-off the TarheeN JJresham, Nash and Ward doing heavy work, advanced to the 25-yard line, assisted by a pass to Wy'rirk. irginia could not stop the drive and Nash finally plunged over. The visitors missed the goal. Flippin Scores. Virginia's second touchdown was claimed by Flippin, a fast end, wiio picked up a fumble and ran 45 yard-.

1 111 one period to go. Virginia completed io passes to get down on Carolina 21-yard line early in the final period and when the Tarheels were penalized 15 yards for the ball was on the six-yard line. A great rally stopped the attacking team less than a foot from the goal line. The kick from behind the line was short and Sinn van if to the 20-yard line. Virginia then drew me etrels were threatening with every play, Spider saved the day for the Moccasins when an Oglethorpe touchdown seemed inevitable.

Petrels Held at Goal. In the first eriod when a steam-rolling Petrel line drive had carried to the two-yard line, it was Johnson who broke through the line, tackled the runner with such violence that the pigskin hounded free and thn recovered the scampering shoat hide for the Moccasins just inches past his own goal line. It was Johnson who early in the next- period when the Petrels were hammering within the five-yard line and tried a pass on the fourth down, who smashed his way over all oppo-ition and downed the would-be passer far in the rear of his forward wall. Koicha's claim to fame does not rest on any one or two sparkling days but on his sixty minutes of murderous line charging which made him a thorn to the Petrels on every play. If ever a man deserves an all-southern berth it is this towering Moccasin tackle.

Two Big Berthas. Captain Cleve Barrett and Bill Ward were the tw big Berthas of Coach Thomas artillery, with the exception of that fleeting moment when Strong spread destruction and ruin through the ranks of the Georgians. Time after time those hefty line plungers smashed their way to ten and fifteen-yard gains. Cv Bell, the baekfield wonder of the Oglethorpe brigade, who was preceded glowing press notices, was everything claimed for him and more. Ti after tin he darted through the Moccasin wall and it was the secondary which stopped him.

If Coach Robertson had another man or two in his baekfield like Bell the Petrels would not have been bemoaning a defeat today.
