TORNADO SWEEP VICTORY OVER FLORIDA THE TO 23-7 -fir Georgia Romps To 21 0 Victory Over Furman Tech Marking Up Points Against Florida's Invading Force I Gators Powerless To Halt Tech Backs in Their Drive Behind Raging Front Wall BY JULIAN GRIFFIN.

Florida's Alligators, representing a state that is symbolic of salesmanship, were forced to register a "no sale" at Grant field Saturday before some 20,000 customers. The powerful Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech swept the visiting aggregation almost completely off the field to a 23-to-7 verdict and break the deadlock that has existed since the annual games began. Both the previous games were tied at seven each. The outcome of the game was no great surprise to Tech followers, but the hundreds of Florida supporters who had traveled many miles with their team, were plainly shocked and disappointed from the time the Jackets made their march to the first touchdown in the first quarter.

Augusta, October 17. (Special.) Amassing three touchdowns in the first half and being played on practically even terms during the remainder of the game, the Georgia Bulldogs swept to a 21 to 0 victory over Furman here Saturday. Something like 5,000 fans gathered at Academy field for the annual classic and saw a long and drawn out game, lasting almost three hours. Rain fell during the final minutes of rla'. ridding the stands of spectators.

Tech Penalized Times Florida was penalized four times for offsides, a total of I'D yards, while Tech was penalized eight times, for 47 yards. During the first half Florida made only one first down while the Jackets were ripping off gain after gain for 10. The ratio was not quite so distressing in the last half when the 'Gators made five first downs and Tech marked up eight.

Florida lost two yards on one punt. Jones punted 40 yards to Wycoff who returned it 42 yards, leaving the 'Gators in a worse fix than when they started. Tech's first touchdown was scored early in he first quarter. Florida won the toss and received at the north goal. The two teams exchanged punts, giving Florida the ball 011 its own 35-yard line where Chaplin fumbled and Marshall recovered for Tech on the Jackets' 31-yard line.

Then the drive began. Barron Starts First Drive. Barron hit tackle a couple of times for a total of four yards aii3 Florida drew a five-yard penalty for offside. Barron and Wycoff each gained a yard over the line. Williams failed at center, but Florida was again penalized for being overanxious, giving Tech first down.

Barron made three yards at left tackle. On a double pass Wycoff gained a yard at right end-. Barron dodged, through tackle for seven yards and another first down. Wycoff gained a yard at right guard, placing the ball on the five-yard line, from which ioint the Tornado's peerless leader, with perfect interference, dashed around ritrht end for the first touchdown. Williams place-kicked the goal, giving Tech a lead of seven oints, with which they were contented until the quarter ended.

The second quarter started with Tech holding the ball on its own 4S-yard line. The Jackets marched it right on down tiie field to the five-yard line, where Williams missed a placement kick after dropping back 30 ycrds. Florida failed to gain nnd punted.

Another relentless drive carried the 21-yard line. Wycoff skidded and fell Saturday saw the Bulldogs in better form than previously this season, with the exception of the final half of the Yale game, the linesmen possessed more charging ability and the hacks had drive and were giving in-interl'crenee. Furman Threatens Twice. Furman threatened but twiee during the entire game. Th" first quarter ended with the Ii; icane in possession of the hall on Georgia's eight-yard line, with third down and one to go.

On the first play in the second quarter Pipkins made four yards and first down, placing the hall on the Bed and Black four-yard line. Two line bucks by McGee failed to gain, and on the next play l'ipkins made one yard through the ceitfer of. the line. Given the ball again, l'ipkins failed to carry it over and Georgia was given the ball on her own six-inch line. Two beautiful passes, had it not been for the brilliancy of George Morton would have counted two touchdowns.

may. in a part, be credited to the Georgia touchdowns, lint the scores resulted from close following of the ball and being in the thick of the first and this is the game. Bulldogs Score Karly. The first Georgia touchdown came in the first several minutes of play. Captain Tilghman won the toss and elected to defend the north goal.

Kain kicked off to Fancy, who returned to his own line. McGee, in two plays, made a first down and Lnnv added two at right tackle. Bawl, on the next play, on a left ml run. fumbled the ball and Netson recovered for the on Fur-man's 42-yard line. Sherlock lost two yards, and Kain added four through tackle.

At tins iuncture George Morton replaced Kain and on the first play hurled a pass to Ilollis which netted 25 yards, and placed the hall on Funnan's IG-yard line. Nelson made threp at right tackle, nnd Morton added three more at the vain" place, a forward pass. Hollis to Morton, netted nine yatds and touchdown. Ilollis was successful in his attempt for the extra point, kicking goal from placement. Furman Intercepts Pass.

Furman intercepted a Georgia pass in the second quarter, punted a few moments later, and then Moore punted 51 yards, out of bounds, to Fur-man's four-yard line. On a bad pass from center Hurl's kick was low and bounced from the shoulders of one of his mates. Poland recovered the hall and sped over the final chalk line, a distance of 11 yards. Moore dropkicked for the extra point. A final score came several minutes later, after scoring the second touchdown.

Moore hicked off to Ilammett, who was downed in his tracks on his own IS-yard line. Ilipps fumbled, hut recovered for a lO-yard loss, and repeated the act on the next play, for a seven-yard loss. Hurt pumed 20 yards, the ball falling dead on Furmaii's 20-yard line. Hatcher made eight yards at left end, and Gene Smith made it first down on nest play. Kilpnfrick then skirted right end for a touchdown.

Moore Petrel Eleven In the former Tech-Florida ames, the 'Gators concerned themselves principally with a method in which to handle "Wycoff. This year they had to contend with Carter I.arron and other backs who have advanced to a point where they can advance the ball almost as well as their leader. Find Difference In Litis The largest difference they found in the Yellow Jacket team, however, was a line that ripped holes in their forward wall with ferocious thrusts that kept Cy Williams and Goldstein, their most serious threats, well out of the way. Most of the Tech gains were made through the line, over guard and off tackle, with and Wycoff lugging the oval most of the time. The entire Jacket line was charging hard enough to afford splendid interference most of the time, although Wycoff Tech's biggest gun, as usual was often seen wiggling and squirming through the Florida defense alone.

Tech's victory was marked up with three touchdowns, a field goal and two goals after touchdown. Wycoff escorted the ball across the last white tape twice, Sam Murray bucked one over, while Ike Williams placekicked two goals after touchdown and booted a field goal from the 14-yard line in the second quarter. Play On Heavy Field. The game was played on a field that was still heavy from the most recent rains and with clouds hovering overhead, threatening to open up any minute. Luckily, they did no more than threaten during the game and the heavy field and was the reason Tech kept the majority of its plays going over the line, instead of unleashing the speed dogs around the ends.

Captain Fdgar Jones. Florida's brilliant halfback, was easily the best man on the other side. In spite of the damp conditions, he insisted on attempts to skirt the Jacket ends and to heave numerous forward passes, many of which were completed for long gains. Goldstein and Williams shifted from their tackle positions to flanks 0:1 offense when Jones tried his end runs, but they were unable to box Tharpe Carpenter. And Merkle and Marshall were making deadly tackles.

Win on Straight Football. Tech beat Florida on straight football and did not have to uncork nnv of the new plays Coach Alexander 1 has taught his men. They are being saved, wisely enough, for the tough row that lies ahead on the Jackets' suicide schedule which brines Alabama here nest Saturday and then such setups as Notre Dame, Yau-derbilt, Georgia and Auburn. OdI.v the same limited number of straight plays were used yesterday. Just the delayed buck, the double pass and straight plunges.

But they were a plenty, thank you. The Florida team had never been measured against tough opposition, and Coach Sebring sprang a mild surprise by starting Ihrig and Bishop at the halfback positions, instead of Frown and Jones, his all-southern back. The subs were sent in as feel ers to find out what the Jackets could do. They soon found out and even the first stringers were unable to cope with the unlimited power of the Tornado. Coach Alexander resorted to exactly opposite methods, sending in the strongest lineup he could muster to start the game.

After they had won it, he sent in a bunch of subs, including the pony backfield he inherited from last year's freshman team. The ionies Wright, McKae, Brewer and Holland did not have much on- a goodly gains ing moments of the game, but Brewer only got to run with the ball once, gaining a first down at tackle, and AVright was not called on at all. Possibly the fact that he wrenched his shoulder at practice last week kept the quarter from calling his signal. JacStets Hold Under Posts. One of the greatest thrills afforded Tech supporters was the wonderful stand made on the Jackets' one-yard line just before the 'Gators scored their only touchdown.

Another Atlanta boy stood out with his punting, he being a member of the Tech High team of last j-ear.

The Petrels, of Oglethorpe, were swept aside by the Tide of Fort Kenning this afternoon when these rivals of long standing met in their annual contest.

The score was 27 to 7. Thegame was the first played in the Doughboy Memorial stadium and was a feature of the dedication ceremonies. High officials of the military service and leaders in civic life witnessed the meeting. Maurer played the stellar role for the visitors, scoring their only touchdown with a beautiful run for Till yards after going through the line on a tackle play. During the first half of the game the ball was in Oglethorpe territory practically all the time.

In the first quarter both teams felt the effects of the furious play and fumbles were frequent. On three successive plays in this period the ball (hanged sides. Soldiers Score in First. The Infantry scored on straight football in the fisrt quarter with a touchdown and followed with the extra point. In the second period this performance was repeated.

In the third the Infantry failed to get over and it was during this quarter that Maurer broke through for the dash that brought the S. I. A. A. champions of last year their only touchdown.

Campbell kicked goal. In the last period the Kenning grid-ders crossed Oglethorpe's goal line twice and added the extra point once. Ilendrix. who went in at left half for the Infantry, staired some unusual playing when, on six successive occasions lie went through the line for gains which netted three first downs. A 4.1-yard run by Smythe for the Tid.

was another spectacular feature early in the game, but" he was stopped on the Petrels 12-yard line. He also made gains Vf 14 and IS yards. Me-Qnarrie broke through the line for gains of 13 nnd 10 yards. A surprising small number of attempts to use the air route upset expectations, as the Petrels were considered the faster team, while Infantry's line was much the stronger. The visitors tried four forward passes nnd of these three were incomplete, while the fourth was intercepted.

The Criinsoa Tide attempted six for- .1 27-0 Victory the soldiers tore up their line, scattered their backs and marred their famous strategems before the feeble survivors of last year's great Notre Dame team could bite the turf with the cleats and get started. A dozen times, the Notre Dame backs, falling to the rear for kicks or forward passes, found themselves friendless and unprotected as three or four hurtling, hostile bodies smashed through the line and converged on them to bear them down yards behind the original line of scrimmage. Irish Light in Weight and Poise. Notre Dame seemed to be light in weight, poise and confidence. From the moment of the first assault when the Army's backfield bit off a 10-yard gain on three whacks at the line, Notre Dame was unequal to the fight.

On the offensive, Notre Dame, which used to be equally good at ground and lofty football and famous for excellence in both, was now erratic, feeble and clumsy In the ground attack Notre Dame didn't make a single first clown until the last quarter. Few passes succeeded and one of those that did succeed, came at the end of the first half and went for naught as the whistle chirped, sending the boys to the showers and the rubbing slabs in the Yankees' club house. On the other hand oue of tht failures snatched out of the air on Notre Dame's line iu the last quarter and carried 30 yards for a touchdown.

Winded and wounded athletes strewed themselves about the scuffed up sward at the rate of one a minute or thereabouts as the brawny apprentices of Uncle Sam's army took their revenge for .1 long series of humiliations. The Army slugged under cover and in the open The lads in the brown helmets and gold striped sweaters brought up their knees to the innocent chins of a squad which seemed to be as yet unschooled iu the fighting subtleties of the game. The game was less than a minute old when Fdwards, one of the many Notre Dame quarterbacks, was mashed into the outfield and knocked unconscious by an army back who jumped on him when he was down and the ball was plainly out of play. Officials Notice Roughness. But it wasn't until the last quarter that the officials took notice of the way they have in the tirmy and inflicted a penalty for first degree assault.

In this case, the roughing was too obvious to be ignored. McNally, taking his turn at quarter, had received one of the few successful forward passes executed by a team which used to dazzle the east with this maneuvre. The pass had gained about 15 yards and McNally was just swinging into stride for a run when one Army man snatched him in a hard clean tackle, ankle high and another one, charging head on, brought his knee tip under McNally's chin and almost tore his head off. It was a masterful exhibition of that kind of football but the Army needn't have rdaved that war. Notre Dame, for once, was outclassed and the final minutes of play V.
