A burly North Caroline State line, which yielded yardag Btubbornly in the first half, was cracked wide open by Buck Chapman, Georgia's 200-pound fullback thunderbolt, and Johnny Bond, the heroes of the Yale game, in the second period today as the Bulldogs marched to their third straight victory and their fifth of the season before an enthusnstie home-coming crowd of 8,000 persona here in Sanford stadium.

A penalty and two line touchdown, staunchly defend their lead against two crushing counter-attacks and crown their dazzling triumph by playing throughout the game without making a single substitution.

The Elig not only accomplished the most stunning form reversal of the season, but ended the Tiger winning streak after it had reached 15 consecutive games. It was Princeton's first defeat since the Bengals were trampled at the end of the 1932 season by Vale. 51 to 14, and promptly established the Blue as favorite to capture its first "big three" ehampionshin in a decade. Yale plays Harvard at New Haven next week in the closing game of the season. YALE'S Yale's decisive touchdown was scored midway in the first period on a sensational 41-yard passing play after a plunges by Lippe, a substitute back.

Springhill 0 Appalachian 0 Lambuth 6 carried the ball over the goal line; Tansil, plnying for Rose, kicked for "Well," he said, "I am sure Alabama will play the piano and sing. They have done everything else." The curious thing about this victory was that it caught the Alabama coaching staff, with a severe case of football jitters. "I was so nervous I was ill several times on the bench," said Head Coach Frank Thomas, who has built this eleven into one of the nation's major elevens. "1 felt we'd win but I was so afraid we'd look bad before all that big crowd, the largest we've ever had in Atlanta, that I was more upset than before the Tennessee game." Thomas, in reviewing the game, said he believd Don Hutson to be the best end he has seen since Hek Wake- field was playing at Vanderbilt a decade ago. And he believes Hutson to be as good.

Both Hutson and Wakefield could kick, pass and catch passes. Hutson is probably superior, as he carries the ball better than many star backs. His ability on end-around plays gives Alabama five backs instead of four. Thomas and Hank Crisp rated the Jackets as the hardest tackling team they had seen this season. "I turned to Ears Whitworth, who had scouted Tech for us," said Thomas, "and asked him where he got the idea Tech didn't have any defense.

That line played good ball. When we saw they were aiming to halt our running game I sent in word to pass. We passed more today than ever before this year." The Alabama coaches -were satisfied with the team's play but thought the tackles could have been better. Thev turn. East.

Big Chapman put over the first Georgia score near the end of the first quarter with an eight-yard sprint around the Wolfpack's left end on a well-executed reverse play and after John Bond had tackled on the extra point. That was the only scoring in the first half which ended with Georgia leading 7-0.
