October OPl blazing sun, for which time was taken out only once, when a vagabond cloud intervened, Missouri and Tulane fought out a t-to-0 tie here today.

Over-zealousnes on the part of the Missouri Valley champions gave the Greenbacks an opportunity to tie the score in the second period.

A Mis-' souri back interfcrred with a Tulane end as he reached for a pass on the fwo-aril line. The interference gave the ball to Tulane as a completed pass and the touchdown followed on the next play. The one point that would have given eiiher team a victory was not forthcoming.

The one reason Tech did not score in the first period was that it lost the ball on downs in the shadow of the V. M. I. goal posts because Tech backs were not going through the holes that the line was still opening. The backs were erratic in their aims at the openings.

Hacks Gained Consistently. The second quarter gave Tech its first touchdown after a magnificent drive down the field from Tech's 2X-yard line to the Y. M. I. goal.

There was one long gain in this drive, that forward pass from Murray to Wycoff that netted 2:1 yards. Beyond that the longest gain was a 30-yard dash by Wycoff. JJut the other backs, Williams, Ilarron and Murray, were smashing through for three, four, five, six. seven and eight yards on almost every play. From V.

M. 30-yard line on first down, Wycoff went over guard for six yards and I'arron followed with three yards at guard. Barron took the ball once more, but V. M. I.

held and they piled up on the Cadets' 1-yard line. On fourth down Car-ron carted the ball over the left guard to Tech's second touchdown. Williams kicked goal from placement for the extra point. The third quarter gave Tech two more touchdowns and two more placement kicks for goal for the point after touchdown. The first of these third-quarter touchdowns was the one that Wycoff started with his plendid drive through guard and ended with taking the sauie path for the lasr four yards and goal.

The second one came soon afterward, after the IS-yard pass that Irwin took from Wycoff dashes through tackle by Wycoff and the steady line smash- ing of ifnd Murray. Murray crashed eight yards through center for the touchdown. The fourth touchdown, in the last quarter, goes to Williams, who buck-I ed a yard through center after Tech completed its last forward pass, from Wycoff to Marshall, for 27 yards, janrl and Wycoff hit off the rest of the distance with their dashes through the line. Brewer Scored Last. Tech's last touchdown went over with the ball in Brewer's arms on a triple pass back of the line that would have done justice to last year's memorable Four Horsemen, wizards of backfiehl nianipulat ion.

Substitutes occupied the entire backfiehl as Tech put on this final drive for a touchdown. I tick Wright pot away for a 10-yard gain around right end, but the other gains were of the six and eight, and even fonr-ard variety, executed as a line full of substitutes tore holes in the Y. M.

Holland. Mediae and llrewer dived through these hobs for their gains and then llrewer went around left end on that long-to-he-remembered triple pass for six yards and touchdown.

So fierce was the nlav. that mans- of iii" m. i. tfirw.inis were forced to retire from the game. They were unable to stand the punishment ml- i ministered by the Tech line.

The piny 1 was hard, clean, but fierce. I Years ago. when Tech played Cum- I bcrland, it is said that Tech made a i touchdown every time one oC the backs carried the ball. Hut, yesterday, an even more remarkable record was pet for subsequent Tech teams to aim at. Only Two Downs Stopped.

Only two drives for the goal were stopped through the efforts of V. M. I. Xo wonder that team cracked and crumbled. Think of the despair of knowing that the opposition was on its way to a touchdown every time it carried the ball.

In the first quarter. Tech made four straight first downs, but failed to score. T.aier in that quarter. Tech made one first down, then lost the ball. In the second quarter however, the hammered out five in a row for the first touchdown.

That score firmly convinced V. M. I. that touchdowns were inevitable. Tech.

the cadets realized, was bound to score again. It was only a question of how many first downs before he second, or third markers. The half kept Tech from scoring again, as the Yellow Jackets had made three in a row. when the whistle blew curling the period. In the third quarter, two first downs were enough to score seyen points.

The ncNt two drives for a touchdown required three first downs apiece. Then came the final touchdown of the game, a fitting climax to a superb display of driving power. Five successive first downs carried the ball over. The end of the game robbed Tech of another, for the golden jersies had two straights and were well on 1ieir way to a third when the final whistle stopped hostilities. Cadets Powerless.

In the first quarter. V. M. T. stopped Tech twice.

After thar. V. M. 1. was powerless even to eheck that consistent, steady, march for a goal.

Consistent driving is the highest example of real football. V. M. I. could not excuse.

in any way. a march that carried the ball 55 yards through its own territory in straight gains at erasing about six yards apiece. Had Wycoff or Barron slipped away for riV or fiO yards to make that first touchdown he Cadets could have argued thar the run was luck, or whatnot. But. tliey were utterly depressed by the knowledge that their best, and most consistent efforts fell far short of killing, or even checking, a march that meant sure defeat.

Like olives from the bottle, the first one was the hardest. The rest came comparatively easy. Y. M. in four quarters, only registered one first down.

That was in'the first quarter when Willis carried the ball about yards on an end run. Outside of that, the V. M. J. offeuse was nil.

Tech had remarkable luck in pass-rocioriliir. Seven passes were at tempted, of which four were success- i fill, and petted a gain of SS yards. This is an unusual average for for- ward passes. Defense Play Permits Passes. I Tech always completes more than I the average number of passes against Y.

M. J. That is due in some ineas- tire to the defense which llie Cadets I emplov. In order to stop the Tech line attack, seven men played in the line. This left only one backer-up.

who usually Mood about eiulit yards behind the' line of scrimmage. Tw sidchrtcks. playing wide and a Unit 35 yards deep, and a safety man back irSour arils, completed their defense. There was very definite lode between the first backer-up and the safety man. Two of Tech's four successful passes were caught in this bide.

Another was a beautiful stab bv Marshall, who was running almost parallel to the line scrimmage when he snagged the ball over his shoulder. V. M. I. attempted only two passes.

One of these, the first, was intercepted by "Wycoff. who made a nice return. The" second was grounded. The strain of a good many years of football undoubtedly has left its mark on "Windy" White, for he was not. even the shadow of his former self yesterday.

Me was completely becked in all his offensive work He (seemed to lack the smash which marked him as a great football player last year. Defensively, he was not a great source of alarm to the Tech bucks. YVindy plays the most important defensive position, first backer-up. But he did not get into the melee yesterday. For one thing, he was continually harassed by the Tech forwards, who worked on him through the whole time he was in the game.

Wherever he turned, there was always a Tech lineman between him ami the play. White's Punts Short. His punts, too. fell off their usu.il sterage. The first two were fine, about "0 yards apiece.

All subsequent attempts came in the thirties. In only one department play did he look like the "Windy" "White who came to Grant field last year. His kicking off was consistently good, never falling short of the goal line. Barron, Wycoff and the entire back-1-field nil deserve a rightful share of the frlory. They carried the ball and interfered, one for the other.

The field was in very good condition, considering the heavy rains of Friday, and having been thorough wet with a tire nose Thursday.

A crowd of l.oOO people witnessed the game. Coach Tolbert put a well-drilled team on the field and had plenty of reserve, as was shown throughout the game.

are as last any pair that ever wore a Tech High uniform. Waugh showed up especially well, making the first touch- down after a -Hi-yard run, seven out of 17 first downs made by Tech High. His broken field running was pretty: to see. and everyone present was of Thomason. who! 'left last spring.

''Busier" Cook, unning mate of Waugh. made several nice gains for the Gobi team, and also scored the second touchdown when he bucked center for 32 yards. "Buster" also made one run of 2." yards around end in the second quarter.

A new star was uncovered in Bard-! well, young fullback, who came to Tech (High from O'Keefe last year.

He was put in at the beginning of the second half, and lore the opposing line to pieces whenever he took the ball. Bard weil has a style exactly like that of the famous Judy" Harlan. He tucks the ball under one arm, sticks bis head down, anil with the other arm in front of him, rams through line for a big gain. Hillburn. another junior high fullback, played in the first half and was bucking con-'sisiently through Central's line.

The Smithie line was working smoothly, and has been well drilled by Coaches Alexander and Joe Bennett. The guards were coming out at the right time, allowing for several nice gains on off tackle and end runs. On the defensive. Boyston. all south Georgia center at Koyston High school last year, was a bulwark of strength jin the center of the line.
