1 Vv 5 1 li Hv ri VIOLETS AROUND IN SECOND HALF Last-M inute Georgia Field Goal Fails; Teams in Fist Fight y. By JACK TROT. YANKEE STADIUM, Oct 28. In what probably will go down as the season's most spectacular in-tersectional ame a game punctuated by a firstrhalf free-Ipr-all, long runs, and spectacular clashes the New York Unixersity Volets today defeated Georgia's -battling Bulldogs, 14 to 13, before more than 15,000 spectators. It was a breathtaking spectacle after the fight which climaxed the first half.

It was not too clear what brought on the fight Knox Eldredge went out for a pass. He and Joe Frank came together and the next everyone knew players of both teams were freely. Subs had rushed into the melee and police had a tough time stopping it While the statistics of the first half were the Violets used the old razzle-dazzle and one new forward pass to score' two touchdowns' and leave the field with a lead of 14 to 0. BULLDOGS BATTLE. The fight seemed to spur the Bulldogs on to great efforts.

They came back and completely dominated the second half. Captain Vassa Cate raced 66 yards to the first touchdown. It was the put-standing individual effort Georgia kept on coming. By all odds, Ed Boell put Georgia in a As 18,000 fans held their breath. Goree, who played only about five minutes, sank his toe into the extra-point attempt with Little Johnny Bosch holding.

The ball 'sailed squarely through the up rights and the Jackets had a great second-half comeback by beating a spirited eleven from the plains of Alabama, But it took one of the greatest comebacks a Tech team ever made jto conquer one of the gamest squads ever to wear the green jersies of Jack Meagher. Outplayed, outgamed and out-scored in the first half, the Yellow Jackets returned after the intermission with determintion in their hearts and probably stinging words in their ears to dominate all the taction in the final semester of the ni iU' wxl 0 NEW YORK, Oct 28. It' was a bit curious watching this member of the Georgia football party walk out and stand defiantly on thd field at Yankee Stadium. As he stood there with the cool wind caressing his face, he was heard to mutter, "The good After a time he seemed happv about his discovery and wandered back to find a seat. The amiable Georgian had dropped his business pursuits and decided to make his first trip to the big town.

En route he met other friends and there was a bit of pre-pame celebration. This sort of thing happens now and then. At any rate, he was pepped up about seeing New York for the first time and the celebration had a sort of two-sided aspect for him. He was going to see the big town and a football game, too. So it was necessary to quaff a few toasts to both.

The time element became more unimportant as the train sped on. First thing he knew there was a temporary blackout. He seemed to be traveling through a tunnel. And then the porter had his bags. "Well take the underground passage to your hotel; suh," the red cap told him.

The score was identical as that by which Tech beat Auburn last Tech hasn't missed an extra point this year.

If one hadn't known better he would have thought the teams changed jersies between halves. The Tigers made the Jackets look as bad in the first half as they looked themselves in the second. Auburn scored in the first quarter and threatened throughout until the whistle blew for intermission. Runs by Big Rufus Deal, Carl Happer and George Kenmore, coupled with Deal's kicking with the wind at his back, had kept the ball in Tech's territory most al) the game. Hawk Cavette, off on his punting all day, kicked from deep in his own territory into the northwest gale and the ball was downed at the Tech 35.

ALABAMA BEATS 'Sweet' Lalanne Leads Smart Southern Attack Before 55,000.: By BILL BONL PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.

(rP) After marching 68 yards in 12 plays to match Pennsylvania's first-period touchdown, a quick-on-the-trigger North Carolina football team turned four Perm mistakes into three second-half touchdowns and a field goal to rout the Red and Blue, 30-6, today before a crowd of 55,000 in Franklin field. Leading the Tarheel victory parade were Jim (Sweet) Lalanne, 165-pound pass pitcher from Lafayette, and Carl Suntheimer, second-string center from Hat-boro, Pa. It was Lalanne who threw three scoring passes and ran 30 yards for another tally, and it was Suntheimer, a roving center who covered the field, who dropped on two Perm fumbles that led to scoring plays. MAROONS ,7 TOO Staves Off Two Late Approximately 18,000 spectators, ruff led by the gusty wind which made toys of punts, saw the hardy southerners score a touchdown and a safety in the first period, increase their margin to 15 -points with another touchdown in the fourth quarter, falter slightly thereafter to permit the Middies to score, and then dig in again to repel any further threats. Except for its touchdown mWh, good for 69 yards, Navy was helpless before the rapid-charging Clemson line.

Occasionally the Middies would link together a couple of first downs, only to find that they were stymied before they could get close enough to the goal to be classed as a real threat. It was a break which gave Clemson its two points, but the two touchdowns were richly earned. victory. Maroon Threats To Triumph. By LEROT SIMMS.

TUSCALOOSA, Oct 28. (JP) Alabama power was too much for a stubborn band of Mississippi State Maroons today and the Crimson Tide won a desperately fought 7-0 victory before 16,000 Home-coming Day fans. The Tide scored on a 30-yard March in the first period. Holt Rast taking a 4-yard pass from PASSES TO FAULK. Kenmore cut back over the line for four yards and then passed to Teedy Faulk, who was tackled at the Tech 15.

As the Tiger end fell he lateraled to Happer, who ran the remaining distance to the goal line. Faulk made a great play. The catch was difficult and as he was falling he started to lateral to one man but checked himself when he saw Happer was in the open. Dick- McGowen came into the gamt and missed the extra-point attempt which would have given tl Tigers an eventub tie. The Tech touchdown drive started on the Jacket 35, after McGowen's 30-yard kick.

Johnny Bosch ran left end for 10 yards and then passed incomplete to George Webb. Auburn was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary, roughness. After another incomy plete pass, Billy Gibson gained 8 over right tackle and Ector made it a first down at the Auburn 19. ECTOR BUCKS. Ector got 3, Bosch 6 and then Ector bucked for a first down on -the 8.

Gibson cut back over tackle for 6 yards before Happer and McGowen could stop him. After the rest period, Ector dove over for the touchdown. That was all the scoring but there were other threats by Auburn in the first half and Tech in the second. The Tigers looked 100 per cent better than they did against Manhattan last week. Their tackling and blocking was hard and spirited.

Coach Meagher had set himself up a very effective defense against Tech passes and the Jackets were able to complete only one that on the first play of ther game from scrimmage. Both teams switched back and forth from five to six-man lines. Deal, Kenmore, Happer, Captain Milton Howell and Malvern Morgan were the big Auburn stars. Deal, a sophomore, was almost unstoppable in the first, half. Ha ran hard and fast and tackled viciously.

Kenmore and Happer sparked the Tiger offense and Lalanne didn't play much in the first half just about long enough to complete three the last of which, to Paul Severin, a standout end, went for 12 yards and a touchdown. Midway in the first period, after Wesley Gebert had fumbled Ed Maness' punt and been downed on the Navy nine. Ulmont White But the Louisiana lad started the second half, and stayed in long enough this time to turn an even ball game into a runaway. As Georgia drove oh goalward the old Statue of Liberty play was brought out for a neat gain. Allen handed the ball off to Cate who got to the 9.

N. Y. U. lost 5 for offsides, Georgia was penalized 5 for excessive time and when Eldredge tried his first placement N. Y.

U. was penalized for offside. With only a second to play Eldredge tried again. But it was a poor kick which barely cleared the N. Y.

U. linemen's heads. The statistics are very revealing. They gave Georgia a huge advantage. BULLDOGS LEAD.

Georgia led in first downs, 15 to eight In total gained Georgia had 343, N. Y. U. had only 254. By rushing Georgia made 11 first downs and 268 yards.

N. Y. U. only made three by rushing for a total of 73 yards. Each made four by passes and the Violets picked up another on a Georgia penalty.

The teams were about the same in passing. The Violets completed nine out of 15 for 118 yards, while Georgia completed six out of 11 for 75 yards. N. Y. tagged lat- By MORTIMER KREEGER.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct 28. Of) The mighty Tulane Green Wave, featuring Jitterbug Bob Kellogg, turned on the power again today and deluged the University of Mississippi Rebels, 18 to 6, before a homecoming crowd of 35,000. Kellogg, 165-pound halfback from Wynne, made a strong bid for All-America honors in the first and third quarters with an electrifying 106-yard dash to a touchdown, and a 24-yard sprint without interference through the entire Ole Miss team for another. Tulane got a gift touchdown toward the end of the fourth when Burton "Buddy" Banker snagged Junior Hovious' long pass on the Rebel 45-yard line and raced to a counter. Hovious starred for the Rebels saved his team from' a shutout almost unaided in the final period.

KELLOGG RACES. He raced back the kick-off for 30 yards and then dropped back to pass. Finding no receiver pen he sprinted through Tulane's defense for 26 yards. Then he began to fling them right and left Captain Bill Schneller connected with three that brought the ball to the goal line. Hovious' first attempt to Ham Murphy was slapped down, but Chick Gladding took the next on the goal line.

The game was full of costly fumbles for both teams, the bobbles ending numerous drives which seemea headed for pay dirt Tulane scored in five minutes when, after three incompleted passes, their only aerial tries of the game, Kellogg took the ball on Mississippi's 24-jard line and raced his right end past eight Rebels for the touchdown. 106-YARD RUN. At the beginning of the second the jitterbug took the bail in the end zone and behind magnificent interference executed one of those plays of a decade by sweeping 106 yards to a touchdown, He crossed the line scant yards ahead of two weary, winded Rebels, who lacked the final spurt to catch him although Kellogg is a notably slow runner. On statistics Ole Miss led with 203 yards gained running and passing to 155 for Tulane and 13 first downs to 9 for the Wave, largely due to the Rebel passing attack which was clicking in the final period.

It failed to clear the end zone and gave Clemson two noints. He accounted for all of the 35 yards that brought the second score and gave the unbeaten southerners a 13-6 lead. He pitched 24 yards into the end zone to Don Baker a few plays later to Almost immediately a brilliant make It 20-6, and on the third ly executed lateral pass play gave play of the final period he broke over Pennsylvania's left guard, uemson its first touchdown.

Cox intercepted a Navy pass on Charley Bosweil for the touchdown, and big Hayward Sanfoid trotted on the field and added the point with his usual perfect placement.

The invaders staved off several other Tide threats by desperate battling, but Alabama supporters were given plenty of chills in the closing minutesonce when fleet Jack Nix broke through the right side of Alabama's line and raced 37 yards up the field only to be caught from behind and thrown out bounds by Jimmy Nelson, and again when the Maroons got fi'st down on tie Alabama 38 in the closing minute. Paced by Nelson and Paul Spencer, line ramming fullback, Alabama drove to the State 22 the first time 1 gained the ball, and Boswell's 20-yard return of Johnson's punt set the stage for the game's only score a few minutes later. State made its only first half threat midway of the second quarter, after Jefferson's 84-yard quick kick backed the Tide up almost to its goal line, and Boswell's kick carried only to his 36. Jefferson passed to Nix for 9, and Nix skirted his left end for a first down on the Alabama 15, but that was as far as the Maroons could get Nelson and 3oswell, the Bama halfbacks, did most of the work for the Nelson ripped off 62 yards in his 17 tries and Boswell picked up SO in 14.
