A Krpnk van resoonsible lor BY ROY E. WHITE. Clyde Crabtree and Thomason, two of the greatest college football prospects ever to step on a southern gridiron, fought one of the prettiest football games yet seen on Grant field, when the Florida rats eliminated the Tech yearlings from any further freshman title claims and stepped another notch higher to that ladder of football success Saturday afternoon by a score of 23 to 7.

It was a great battle and only by excellent interference on the part of his mates, coupled with the entire team taking advantage of every possible break, did the. visitors emerge from the game victoriously. The Tech rats easily gained more ground from scrimmage than did the 'Gator rats, but Tech lacked the punch when in the shadow of the 'Gator goal line and the first down? count gives Tech 24 and Florida only 8. and those eight with the exception of three did not figure in the 'Gator scoring. Crabtree, who hails from Morton high school, of Chicago, has everything that a promising young football candidate needs and unless we miss our guess more will be heard from him in college circles next year.

In addition to his generalshin he can Oglethorpe's first marker, Carroll blocking a punt and recovering the oval on Furman's 8-yard line. However, ia the third qunrter the Petrel rdaved extremely well on the offen run, side step, stiff arm, punt, pass, hit the line, and in fact, he can do everything, in the football line. His work Saturday afternoon was all that could be asked. Crabtree Stars. One of the nrettiest broken field sive and as a result scored a well earned touchdown.

Furman, too, took advantage of a few breaks but it was unable to score indirectly or directly from them. As the score it was a "hair-raisins" contest, the crowd on its feet throughout the came. elevens were lighting like timers, and, as a result, many outstanding plays were perfectly visible. The tackling of the two teams was extremely hard and was the feature of the defensive work for both Oglethorpe and Furman. "Niitiy Stars.

Captain "Nutty" Campbell, of the Petrels, played the bent pane of his career, time after time making substantial gains and stretching two or three of them into long runs of -0 yard or more. He returned punt excellently. In fact, he was a wizard inthis part of his playing. Another thing, he called the plays to perfection, the fake bucks railed at the right time being lnrgely responsible for th Petrels' offensive strength. IJd Garlington, Hob Shepherd and Cy Hell were also good in the Oglethorpe liaekfield.

Shepherd and Garlington were defensive stars and had it not been for them, Furman would have made more first downs and might have scored more points. Alone with Campbell. P.cll gets credit for the offensive power of the Hlrds. He made several spectacular runs, one resulting in a run for 22 yards and the second Petrel touchdown. For Furman, Crawford was with runs seen this year on Grant field was nncorked by voung Crabtree in the fourth quarter jnst after Florida had received the ball on its own 20-yard line.

Crabtree took the ball in a wid open formation, seeminsrlv as if to pass, but after seeing his chances' to pass blocked, he with the aid of a perfect wall of interference worked his way through the line of scrim-mase and then by some clever broken field antics sprinted 80 yards to a touchdown. Tech had numerous chances to block his way, but his ipeod and an ability to pick holes, enabled him to outgeneral the entire Tech eleven.

The work of Thomason was far above the others on Coach Clav'a eleven, for it was he who bucked the ball the last seven yards to a touchdown in the second quarter after he had made several long gains. On two occasions Thomason proved Lis football ability. In the third quarter he was preparing to throw a pass and was almost completely smothered, but outran some five or six 'Gator players -and gained mora than 15 yards on the play.

Again in the third quarter, after being smothered on an end run plar, he reversed his field and made a good gain. Mizell at fullback also played his part of the game and his punting and passing was a source of gratification to Georgia Tech supporters.
