BY MARCUS BRYANT, Special Correspondent of TTie Constitution. Knoxville, October 31. (Special.) Every lane has to turn, so goes the old adage, and it came to rassr on Shields-Watkins field, that Tennessee'! Volunteers outrushed and crushed the Georgia Bulldogs and humbled them under a 12-to-7 defeat, the game being played on soggv turf. All Knoxville is mad tonight over the victory, a win coming to Tennessee for the first time since 190S over the Bulldogs. Knoxville is also celebraHng tonight the first conference victory of Tennessee since 1923.

Some 6,500 spectators wended Star for Winners; Alex Uses Second String Men BY GEORGE CONGDON most complete darkness, after seeing the Volunteers rise to heights listed in Tennessee history and batter the Bulldogs into complete su mission. No larruping wraiths of the 100 yards of Grant field Saturday, with two backs to smash the line and skirt ends, that gave Notre Dame its victory over Georgia Tech, 13 to 0. The Tech-Alabama gime a week ago might have been a dress rehearsal for the Notre Dame act. In that game there was the fleet Brown understudying the swifter, surer (Flannagan of the Irish, and there was Alabama's plunging Hubert to play the role of the more powerful Enright of the Rockne clan. 4 A i.iJljaV: speed baby, Just ts McRae, Tech he sped the last 2 yards for Notre famous Four Horsemen galloped the but it was a darned good football team.

Now consider further that it wasn Tech's first varsity. Tech's Wycoff, Barron, Williams, Murrey, and Tech's fierce first varsity line that held the Rockne team, with its many tongue-tangling substitutes. It was Tech's second and third varsity men who held Notre Dame to a score lower than that in the Irish's game last week against Minnesota. It was Notre Dame's first team that played pracitcally all of the game. Coach Alexander gave 12.000 people a mighty run for their money with his second eird third teams.

At the same -time, he saved his first string outfit for the three big sovih-ern conference games to come, Vanderbilt next Saturday on foreign soil, Georgia, at home, the following Saturday and Auburn in the Atlanta Thanksgiving classic. Only six first varsity men got on the playing field. Godwin, alternate captain and guard, was the only first varsity man to play during the first half. In the second half, Tharpe went in at tackle, Merkle and Marshall took over the ends. Forrester went in at guard, and Williams went to his regular signal-calling job at quarter.

Vandy Coaches Present. Since there were three Vanderbilt coaches. Dan McGugin, Wakefield and John Weibel, last year of the Rockne squad, in the stands, maybe Alex will cash in Saturday on his strategy ot keeping his first varsity characteristics under cover yesterday. All of the names in Tech's starting lineup have been found principally down in the list of substitutes. The move by Alex was the last one to be expected from him.

but it worked admirably. He held Notre Dame and has a bagful of his best men to send, almost unseen by Vanderbilt scouts, against the Commodores in Nashville. Rockne said at the start of the season that he had nothing to show football crowds this year. IIe hasn't anything that compares with the equine quartet of the championship eleven, but he has one of the greatest lines that has ever worked on Grant field and he has two backs in Flannagan. the speed boy, and Enright, the gigantic line plunger, who are consistent ground gainers.

With the Four Horsemen apparently went the baffling aerial ganie for which Notre Dame was famous last year. The Irish yesterday tried three in the last quarter. One was intercepted and th other two were incomplete. Flannagan carried the ball over Tech's goal line for both of Notre Dame's touchdowns. Flannagan tried a goal from placement in the first period for the point after his first touchdown, but his kick was blocked by the swarm of Jackets.

In the second period, Edwards kicked goal from placement, after Flannagan's six-point score. fc Tech Threatens. The first half saw the full strength of the Irish attack. In the first and second quarters Notre Dame got six of its eight first downs. It was the second quarter that saw Tech's only bid for a touchdown, or position from which to try a field 'goal.

'GATORS BEAT ROLLINS, 61-0 Gainesville, October 31. C43) Rollins was by no means a match for Florida, and the 'Gators romped over Fleming field this afternoon for a Cl-to-0 victory. Touchdowns were made with alarming regularity, with Jones doing the major part ot the scoring. Florida's line play was particularly effective, Rollins being unable to make any gains in that direction whatsoever. Rollins made but two first downs throughout the entire game.

The 'Gators tallied 19 first downs. An extensive use of wubsritutes was not made nntil late in the game, when nearly every man on the squad was given a chance. Wily the 8ub3 in the game, Rollins was vnable to gain much ground because it misdirected passes and poor receiving. line opening a hole for him in their way from the stadium in ILL IN I S.TARS GIVEN LOTS OF TEA Philadelphia, October 31.

Zuppke, Illini coach, told a group of celebrating Illinois rooters tonight. "You know I starved them (the players) for this game," he "Three nights I sent them to bed hungry and I gave them lots of tea that helped them to get on edge." Zuppke went on to say that several of his most unexpected victories in western conference games had come when his men were hungry and had been given plenty of tea. "Grange." Zuppke said, in discussing his two-time all-American halfback, "is not quite the player that he was last year. He was badly injured in one game last season, and while he is still one of the greatest, we have to protect his old injury so heavily that he can't perform as freely as he once did."

MRS. GAUT WINS WOMEN'S MEET Laurel, October 31.

CP) Mrs. David of Memphis, former southern women's golf champion, won the Laurel Country club invitation tournament here today, defeating Marion Turpie, youthful New Orleans city champion, one np in 36 holes. The match was played in a cold drizzle. At the end of the first IS holes Mrs. Gault led two up, but a brilliant rally by Miss Turpie made all square at the 33rd.

Mrs. Gaut took the 34th and the next hole was halved. A remarkable mashie shot from a hanging1 lie put Miss Turpie within- four feet of the enp tne oOtb, and witn one stroke left to tie the match, her putt rimmed tat cup. Little Dick Wright was a big ground gainer for Tech yesterday against Notre Dame, but the deceptive footing of a muddy field hampered him. Here he is with the ball just as the mud caused him to skid down two or three yards in front of the Notre Dame tackier coming over to nail him.

The Bulldop; against Tennessee was not the tenaciors animal that it was against Vanderbilt a week ago. Its power was not there, and confronting the Georgia team today was an eleven not to he stopped in any manner. Georgia's IJne Crumbles. Georgia's rush line, which showed to such advantage that hopes rose high in the Vanderbilt game, received a jolt Btid that jolt spelled defeat for Georgia. Tennessee backs tore off great gains by thrusts through the Georgia, linp.

the Volunteers' only means of attack. 'With the Uulldog line giving, the Volunteer forward wall was invulnerable to the extent that the Itulldogs gained no material yardage through it during the entire game. Tennessee linemen smeared up play alter play time and again before the Georgia backs could reach the line of scrimmage. IMck Iodson was the principal offender against the Bulldogs' confer-once hopes, lie scored both touchdowns with his smashes off the left and right tackle positions, He scored the first in the second period and the second in tiie fourth period. While Dodson did not get away for any long dashes, his ground gaining was consistent.

Fumble Results in Score. Dodsou had his first opportunity to score iu the second period when Young got off a long punt on which Hollis fumbled and Klniore recovered for Tennessee im Georgia's 3 7-yard line. Jn the third period Dodsou piloted the ball down the field from Georgia's 40-yard line to the four-yard line in seven thrusts and then bucked it over on the second plaj in the fourth quarter. Forward passes brought Georgia its one touchdown, which was scored on a pass from Kilpatrick to Nash. The ball was worked down the field by the Jiulldogs in three forward passes and Scrappy Moore's run on a trick play.

Instead of kicking for the extra point the llulldogs flipped a forward pass over the goal line. The l.iilldogs were kept completely out of thp running until the final quarter. During the first three periods they were never able to work the ball farther than the oO-yard line in Tennessee territory. Georgia Strong on Passes. Tennessee made a total of nine first downs, these being equally into the first three quarters.

Georgia annexed a total of eight first downs, five of the number coming in th finai' quarter. Statistics of th game show Ilull-dog strength in the passing department. Thirteen passes were attempted, seven being completed for a net gain of S2 yards. One Georgia pass was intercepted. Tennessee attempted fire passes, none of which were completed and three of which were intercepted.

Tennessee began the game with a rush. Captain Thompson won the toss and elected to defend the south goal. Lieffler kicked off 4.1 yards to Jodon who returned to his own St-yard line. The Volunteers began here and held a wide edge throughout the period. On the third play of the game Itice made it first down on his own 47-yard line.

liice then circled left end for 2S yards and the second first down, placing the ball on Georgia's "5-yard line. Two plays netted seTen yards, but 'Tennessee was ttien penalized five yards.

ARMY BEATEN BY YALE, 28 TO 7 ItY LKO J.

CASEY. New Haven, October 31. An alert Yale team, rising to unexpected heights and pouncing on every mistake of a strong Army eleven, swept the Cadets to a 2S-to-7 defeat in one of the season's startling upsets here todav. The big Blue won by playing smarter and faster football in every department of the game. Its margin would have been a comfortable one without a single Army mistake, but it was the errors of the West Pointers, both on defense and offense, that gave Yale its unexpected total of points.

A crowd of HM)00 packed the Yale bowl under cloudless skies to see a team which bowed to Penn take on the new lease of life which so. often comes to the Blue as November approaches. Through the line, around the ends, with sweeping overhead attack, Yale continued its offense after a punting duel between Noble and Yeomans had held the two elevens scoreless throughout the first quarter. It almost seemed, in that first quarter, that the players on the field, in view of the fierceness of the later play, might be waiting for the crowd to settle from its holiday gaiety and realize that the game was on. The colorful Yale cheering section, dotted as Yale games always are, with the colorful plumage of the fair sex, had matched cheer on cheer with the ranks of Cadet gray across the iield.

All of the S0.000 was youth, colorful and happy it mattered not whether they were 21 or the old grads of the nineties and they had come not so much that they hoped fo see the crippled Yale win. but for the that is alwajs expected from a New Haven eleven. They found it. Pass Starts Y'ale. A forward pass.

Bunnell to KTine, started Yale on the march that was never stopped. It was for 27 yards and put the ball on the Army's 36-yard line. With Allen bearing the brunt of the line plunging, aided by Nolle, the ball was advanced to Army's eight-yard line, where the Cadets stiffened and held for downs. But the Blue was not to be denied, and after an exchange of kicks got off a beautiful pass. Noble to Gill, who raced to Army's 14-yard line before he was downed.

Allen failed to gain, but in two plays Noble was over and it was Yale 7, Army 0 when Allen kicked the goal as the period ended. In the third quarter the brilliant TrapnelL Army's right a thrill through the packed bowl when he ran around his own right, end for 20 yards after Harding had returned Continued on page 2, column 7. Maurer Stars as Petrels Defeat Loyola, 13 to 0 ARMY PLAYED CLEAN GAME ROCKNE Knute liockne, coach of the Notre Dame football team, denied today that the Army had showed any lack of sportsmanship in their recent game with Notre Dame. Commenting on reports that the Army team had played with unusual roughness, Rockne said "Any charge or suspicion that the Army team played unsportsmanlike football against Notre Dame is absolutely untrue. It played honorable football, as it always has done." GUYON'S TEAM BEATEN BY EDWARDS' Johnson City, October 31.

(Special.) Tobie Edwards' Buffaloes reached their greatest heights today in defeating Joe Guyon's Union university Bulldogs by a 17-to-0 score. "Stumpy" Thomason was a team within himself, outpuntiug his opponent, running back punts for an average 18 yards, making two passes to Coot Watkins, his teammate of Tech High days, one for 20 yards and one for 35' yards and a touchdown. He went around right end once for 45 yards and a touchdown. The Milligan team never looked better and so well did the Milligan back-field fight and literally drive that game was never in doubt after the firt, ouarter. The Buffaloes were doped to lose by anywhere from 10 to 30 points.

Pop Blissett, former Monroe, Georgia, star, was forced from the game with a dislocated shoulder after putting nr a great game as guard. Coot besides being on the receiving end of several great-iwisseV from Stumpy, played a "Sreat game ir left tackle.

"Red blue jersey stands out strikingly agahist an orange background. New Orleans, October 31. (By the Associated Press.) Adrian Maurer's speed on a wet and slippery field enabled Oglethorpe to defeat Loyola, 13 to 0, here today.

The elusive back caught the Loyola kick-off for the opening of the second half on his own 23-yard line and twisted his way 75 yards for the first touchdown of the game. In the final period Maurer took the ball in midfield and tore off 10 yards in his first try, going all the way to the goal line on the second, when he started off tackle, and, getting through, ran 40 yards. The Petrel star could not get started in the first half and retired in the second period. He was dried out in the intermission, however, and ran few losing plays in the second half. Oglethorpe drive in the first half was stopped by Loyola twice when the visitors threatened and the Petrels retaliated in the second half when the Wolves were in position to make trouble.

A fumble once gave Loyola the ball inside Oglethorpe's 15-yard line and it was advanced to the 10- SEALS CAPTURE COAST SERIES San Francisco, October 3L (By The Associated Press.) The Saa Francisco Seals, pennant winner of the Pacific Coast baseball league, defeated the Louisville American asso.
