By Ralph McGill. SANFORD STADIUM, ATHENS, Oct. 31. Drumming feet of Tennessee's great football team beat out a threnody of doom for Georgia in the game this afternoon as the Gold and Orange host ran, kicked and passed to a 46-to-o victory. Savage as an Indian attack at dawn was this attack by the Tennessee Volunteers.

It struck with an intensive power that was inexorable and relentless in its force. The score could have gone bevond the 50-point mark but in the last quarter Tennessee's third-string substitutes played out the game. Georgia Tech Loses To Clemson, 1 4 to 1 3 Tigers Score in Last Quarter To Hand Jackets Defeat; Folger Hero of Game. By Jack Troy. Georgia Tech's Engineers learned, a lesson yesterday that big game hunters have known all the time.

It does not pay to toy with a Tiger. As harmless as the honey bee was the sting of the tech Jackets yesterday. The Clemson Tiger, drawing first blood, as the boys say. was content to spar away, play a cagey waiting game and finally surge from behind to crush its favored foe. It was, in a sense, a stunning setback.

Clemson won by the slender margin of an extra point, 14 to 13, but it was as great a victory as the Tigers have earned in full many a moon. The twin heroes of the conr iest By Zipp Newman. Sports Editor, the Birmingham Xcws. SA: FRANCISCO. Oct.

.11. Santa Clara dropped Auburn from the undefeated class in a gruelling battle before 25.00O spectators today. The Broncos made two marches for their two touchdowns in the first and second periods, winning, 12 to 0. The Tigers, without the services of Wilton Kilgore. who was hurt in the second period, came back to outplay the Broncos in the second half, after being badly outplaved in the first half.

The Tiger drove 68 yards in 15 plays to score the tie-ing touchdown. Mac Folger, the Pickens Powerhouse, drove over from the three-yard line, as may be seen above.

This made the score Clemson 13, Tech 13. And the lower picture completes the story of Tech's stunning defeat. Sam McConnell, bareheaded he tossed off his helmet before kicked from placement and the ball is in the air headed through the goal posts. This made it Clemson 14, Tech 13. The Tigers earned their victory, routing a Tech second team and outfighting the Jacket varsity the rest of the way.

Folger, who scored all three touchdowns against South Carolina last week, scored both touchdowns against Tech. Pitt and Rams Fight To Tie In East By Henry McLemore. NEW YORK, Oct. 31. (CP) The brawny, hard-hitting football sons of Fordham and Pittsburgh met on the playing field of the Tolo Grounds today, and as was logical on the turf where Carl Hubbell has hurled so many shutouts, battled to a scoreless tie.

A crowd of 53,000 which packed every inch of the spacious stadium, saw the Panthers and the Rams, with wart veteran end. It was Folger who wrecked South Carolina. He scored all three touchdowns. And it was Folger who wrecked Tech, carting the ball across the goal line each time yesterday. He ran with such power that Tech defenders were scattered like chaff before a churning wind.

COMES THROUGH. And in the pinch, with the punch, the extra-point punch, there was Sam McConnell, the tall, cool end. The game rested on his toe late in the fourth quarter after 13 plays had carried Clemson 68 yards to the tying touchdown. McConnell calmly removed his helmet and swung toe into the ball. The kick was straight and true.

And Clemson, coming back with an irresistible surge, had Deaten the vp'inted Tech Engineers. It was a grpat victory for a fine team and a fine gentleman, Coach Jess Xeely. His boys had been overpowered by Duke, Alabama and they bogged down against Wake Forest. But they were prepared for Tech. They had been pointing for the Tech game a full three weeks.

And they meant to win. It was almost Halloween eve when McConnell kicked the point that S. U. WALLOPS VANDERBILT, 19-0 Powerful Bengals Easily Conquer Commodores at Nashville. two of the most resolute forward lines in the nation, fight to their sec Tennessee 35-yard line.

That was in the closing minutes of the first half when a pass to Spec Towns and another pass on which Tennessee interfered, gave Georgia the ball at the Tennessee 12-yard line. The Tennessee first team went in and stopped the threat as the half ended. Tennessee was penalized 146 yards and yet ran up the tremendous "total of 3S0 yards from formation to Georgians 143. Tennessee had 17 earned first downs to four for Georgia. Tennessee completed 5 of 6 passes attempted.

BLOCKING GREAT. It was Phil Dickens, called Phil the Phantom, who led the early attack. He is a football phantom. He seemed to be visible only to the spectators, time after time he weaved and bobbed through the Georgia team for gain after gain. The Tennessee blocking was the chief factor There was blocking such as Dixie has not seen since Major Hob Neyland showed it with his teams which featured Dodd.

Hackman and McEver. It struck hard. The Georgia defense seemed to collapse at the waist as the flying bodies ot the Tennesseeans struck them. It was as effective as a giant broom in the hands of the blind sisters of i-ate, sweeping the path clean. It was beautiful as a beautiful woman is beautiful in that it was sharp and chiseled and clean in its Perfection.

It was an art. Mavbe there has been blocking as good. But if so, I have not seen it in some It was beautiful as a great Picture is beautiful in that it was art at its best. Red Harp delivered another verse of that song. "Little David.

And so there Wildcats Stop Gophers, 6to0 By Alan Gould. EVANSTOX. 111.. Oct. 31.

OP) The supposedly impregnable citadel of Minnesota's football power fell today before the furious charge of Xorthwestern's Wildcats, carrying with it the demolishment of the game's most celebrated winning streak and the championship dreams of the Galloping Gophers. Taking advantage of a sequence of extraordinary "breaks," Xorthwestern pushed over a last period touchdown to beat Minnesota, fi to 0. in a battle savagely fought in mud and rain before a shrieking crowd of in Dyohe stadium.

Ohio, to plough across for the winning score on the second plav of the final quarter. SOME SLUGGING. Widseth, in the pileup of a line play, hit an opposing player twice in the face, after the whistle blew." said Heferee John Getchell, of St.

Thomas, after the game. The offense called for a 15-yard penalty but since the Wildcats had the ball only 3.1 yards from the goal line, the actual penalty omonnted to 12 yards and left the home team with four chances to put the ball across from the one-yard stripe. Minnesota twice thrust back line plunges, with Don Geyer and Toth carrying the ball, before and after the teams changed sides of the field for the final quarter. Toth. on the third play of the series and second play of the last quarter, plunged across his own right tackle for the touchdown.

DRAMATIC END. The defeat brought a dramatic finish to the Minnesota winning streak, which had extended through 21 successive games, perched the Gophers on top of the football world, and made the system taught by Bernie Bierman the standard by which gridiron production was measured. The mighty men of Minnesota, under Bierman's shrewd tutoring, had gone through 28 consecutive matches without defeat. THE LINEUPS AND BTXMMABY. MINNESOTA Poi.

It was Auburn's luck today to get one of the hottest football teams in America. And this very hot Santa Clara got all the breaks in the first half. Of all the Pacific coast teams this writer has seen, only the Stanford team of 192H looked to have more guns than this fine coached eleven of Ruck Shaw. Auburn fought with all the tradition of a southern football team.

If the Tigers had ever quit battling the mad Broncos, they would have been swamped. ALBURN MEN THERE. Old Auburn men came from as far south as San Diego and as far north as Portland to see the Tigers play for the first time on the Pacific. There were 20 Auburn alumni accounted for in the crowd. There were hardly in the stadium an hour before game time.

A few Auburn supporters distributed an assortment of Orange and Blue caps to a group of youngsters, sitting down under the press box. They got organized with Neal Johnson, the old Auburn All-Southern cheer leader teaching them the Auburn yells before game time. The weather was crisp and windy. The gridiron runs east and west and a cross wind sweeps in from the west. Coach Buck Shaw held out Don Derosa, starting James Barlow.

Manuel Gomez, who started at right half, is said to be the only Mexican playing regularly for an American school. Santa Clara scored in the first period on an S0-yard march, a terrific drive of power and 'deception. Norman Finney slipped the last 25 yards on an end-around-end with the Bull Nello Falaschi clearing out the Auburn secondary. Nello Falaschi's try for extra point was low. KILGORE 1 1 CRT.

Wilton Kilgore was hurt in the last eight minutes of play, but stuck it out until near the end of the half. He was hit on the knee and it curtailed his punting. The Tigers, outweighed and outplayed, rallied late in the period to stop the Broncos' third vicious drive for a touchdown. The Tigers held the Rroncos on the 3-yard line. The Broncos took the ball at their own 4fi-yard line and this Gomez passed to Don Derosa for a 16-yard gain.

The Broncos tried without success at hitting the Auburn line, all the Broncos' fire and dash couldn't move the light Tigers out of the way. get you ef you dontjwjthin but four yar(s of a touch- fullb saved several srames for Tennessee.

"Mad Marshall," as the boys tagged him after his vork diabetic. That means the mechanism of his body manufactures too much sugar. No one knows why. And until a few years ago sufferers from diabetes lived a miserable existence for a few years and then passed on to their varied rewards. it was a few years aco that a Canadian scientist isolated a substance he called insulin.

He found that if he injected it into the body the insulin burned up at a tremendous rate. It burned up sugar as exercise burns it up. For years football trainers have known that players performed better if given glucose during the intermission at the half. It quickly is absorbed and supplies new energy, or more sugar for the muscles to burn up. By using insulin the thousands of diabetics could be saved from a slow and miserable exit from this world.

They could, bv diet and regular prescribed injections of insulin, live near normal lives.

There was only one first down in the first half. That came when Francis Mautte, Ram captain, circled Pitt's left end to reach the Panther's 41-yard line. That was as close ns Fordham came to scoring until the last three minutes of the game when, aided by a 15-yard penalty and some fine plunging by Joe Dulkie, the Rams moved to Titt's 30.

The Panthers stopped the advance there shortly before the came ended. Louisiana Sta'e drove to a pair of well-earned touchdowns in the second and third periods and added another late in the fourth frame after Vanderbilt gambled on desperate passes in an attempt to score. Battling on almost even terms for the first period, with the Commodores trying vainly to score through the air on long passes by Sophomore Joe Agee, the Louisianans scored early in the second quarter. Vanderbilt had the ball on its own 20-yard line after Tinky Rohm had kicked over the goal following a Louisiana State advance to the Commodores 15-yard stripe. Joe Lo Paro, substitute halfback, dropped back in punt formation, attempted a lateral which Gaynell Tinsley, all-America end, batted down and recovered for the Tigers on the Vanderbilt 8.

All-Southeastern fullback Bill Crass ripped off six yards in three tries and on fourth down Kohm cut through tackle for the touchdown. Crass missed the extra point. The Commodores, thoroughly er- THE LINEUPS. ALA. POLY.

Gibson Schreibor THE AMAZING PERKINS. The idea of exercise was practically taboo. Because exercise burns up sugar. So does insulin. So the two are not combined.

Which is why Marion Perkins is one of the amazing figures in the athletic world. He is playing football despite a handicap which ordinarily would confine him to a Spartan-like, circumspect life. He was given thorough inspection. Coaches did not want him to play. He was dropped from the squad and told to go ahead and get his education, they would Fnller r.
