Here are a couple of scenes recorded by a staff photographer as Oglethorpe lost a close football game to Chattanooga University, a traditional foe, yesterday at Hermance field.

In the action shot at the left, Claude Herrin, plucky Petrel quarterback, who was out all last year, is shown taking the ball made a short gain on this play. The arrow indicates the ball tucked under his arm. At the right, The Constitution's cameraman was quick on the trigger and caught Haswell, hardhitting Moccasin halfback, plunging over Oglethorpe's goal period, Scrapnv Moore's hnsky chap put in a fine drive late in the final quarter that resulted in Smith plunging over the goal line for the score that turned the victory to the invaders. 12-7. There was plenty of steel in th crews of those mountaineers yesterday.

For a brief time they were the leaders as the result of Haswell's short dive outside the Oglethorpe left guard for a touchdown soon after the second half began. Then the Petrels suddenly awakened to the realization that of all the teams they wanted to beat, those Moccasins were the desirable victims. So they took that kickoff and never stopped chugging until they were ahead and breathing easily. Frank Anderson the willowy brunet of the Petrel backfield, legged Koe-ninger's kickoff back 35 yards from his own 10-yard line. He almost got away as Charley George was right ahead of him, but Tony Matusek, the safety man, cut over to get him.

Herrin pushed the ball to midfield in two bucks. Then the blond Dapper Myers made the Oglethorpe gallery and the town of Norcross, exceedingly happy by crasbin through the Moccasin line, which was opened wide by charging Petrol forwards, cut over to his loft and dashed 50 yards for a touchdown. Frank Anderson stepped back into the picture again long enough to dropkick a perfect extra point. Oglethorpe led. 7-6.

That was a freat run by the blond Mr. Mcrs. And the Moccasins joined the ranks of those gentlemen who prefer the other kind. FINAL SCORE. Everything probably would have ended happily, as the teams breezed into the fourth and last period with Oglethorpe protecting that slim lead.

But the Moccasins came up from a time out, put their wits together and began a touchdown march that tossed the Petrels into the well-known broth again. It was a 12-yard forward pass, Halbach to Haswell. that started it. Haswell, Raby and Smith bucked the ball on down to the Petrel 11-yard line. Then Smith, in straight plunges, carried it to another first down on the Petrel one.

With four tries to put it over, the substitnte Moccasin fullback ripped through for the score. The extra point went awry, bnt the damage was done. A forward pass, Walker to Goldsmith, that gained 15 yards, put the ball in midfield, but the whistle soonded and Chattanooga had given Oglethorpe's 1931 schedule a black eye right in the first round. The first two periods were slow, featured by a kicking duel between Anderson, of Oglethorpe, and Raby. of There were frequent: times out du to the temperature.

COLUMBIA, S. Sept. 26. Dust off a chair in the football parlor for the South Carolina football team. Pitted against the lilue Devils from Duke at the fair grounds here this afternoon, the Gamecocks outplayed them consistently to win 7-to-0 victory over the Wallace Wade-coached eleven.

The weather was admirably suited to devils, being steaming hot. The pine benches around the field were white with a shirt-sleeved, summer-dressed crowd. The players burned themselves out in the first half, and the second half saw both teams slowed up. But South Carolina held an edge all the way. The fleet heels and elusive hips of Karl Clary, sophomore sensation from Gaffney, S.

bronchi ruin to Wallace Wade's eleven. In the closing minutes of the first quarter, he took the ball within scoring distance. In the early minutes of the second quarter he scored, and Hajek, an end, placed-kieked the ball for the extra point. DEVILS WOBBLE. When Clary scored, the Duke cause seemed doomed to go down beneath a tremendous score.

The Blue Devils bad been wobbling. Their tackling was poor and their blot-king worse. Their running game had been stopped cold. An ordinary football team would have wilted and dropped behind, hut Duke caught up the loose ends of their game and began to battle. They not only stopped all other Gamecock attacks, bnt almost scored late in the game.

This is a new South Carolina football Hilly Laval, who was wont to dally around with crazy-iiilt formations, with hidden ball nicks and all sorts of unorthodox stuff, has turned back to standardised football. NEW SYSTEM. Lee Ilanley, brother of Dick Han-loy. the Northwestern football coach, has joined tbp South Carolina squad, and he aided Laval in putting in the double wingbnek system, similar to the Warner style. It is a powerful attack when worked correctly.

And the (lamccocks showed a thorough nc-iHinintnnce with it this afternoon. The Gamecocks start, faster than any team that has ever come out of Columbia. The hacks are all fast and get away like flash, hut fhey seemed to wilt, as did' the line, in the second half. Duke was in better condition. Laval and Ilanley believe that their club will bound forward rapidly now.

At any rate Tech's Jackets, who meet the Gamecocks in Atlanta next Saturday, have a real struggle ahead of them. Dl'KE LINE GREAT. The Duke line played a magnificent game. The line stood between Duke and complete disaster. It is a smart, fighting line that Wade has.

His running backs were helpless with the exception of Kenneth Abbott. 144-1'ound halfback. They were unable to get going. In The Constitution football re-, view at few days ago. Wade was quoted as saying that his team was woefully weak on blocking and tackling.

They were all of that today. Duke threatened to score once. That was in the closing minutes of the last quarter when all hope seemed gone. Nick Laney, sub halfback, tossed a long pass to Pinkie James. James was running desperately down the sidelines.

He dived in the air for the pass and caught it. CROWD WILD. The crowd went wild as they saw James at Carolina's four and a half-yard line, but even as they yelled and even as the Duke hand broke into a stormy war song the hall was called back. Pinkie James had caught it out of bounds. South Carolina had the hall twice within Duke's 20-yard line.

Once they scored. Another time they seemed on the way, bnt Clary, who was driving along in great style, fumbled the hall and Duke recovered. Another time the Gamecocks were at the 20-yard line, hut Duke turned them back. The pressure was turned on the Camecooks at the start of the game. lnke kicked off short and Knocker Adkins.

the big center, recovered the bill for Duke. Carolina stopped the attack and Chuck Rossiter punted. Continued on Fourth Sport Page. By Roy White.

Saturday night at Sniller field By Roscoe Snipes, United Press Staff Correspondent. BUFFALO COUNTRY CLUB, WILLIAMS VI LLK, N. Sept. (UP) With a case that belied her youth, 20-year-old Helen Hicks, of Hewlett, L. today wrested By Jack Troy.

A cosmopolitan football crowd, perhaps the largest ever to wend its enthusiastic way into Hermance stadium, yesterday saw the Stormy Petrels of Oglethorpe, flying on the wings of adversity, throw away a pair of certain scoring chances in the first part of the game and finally succumb to an irresistible last-quarter drive by their old rivals, the Chattanooga Moccasins. Those fans, more than 6,000 in number, fairly packing the stadium and overflowing into the temporary stands on the opposite side of the field, saw superlative football played under a sweltering sun and stayed to see, in the deepening shadows of twilight, an immensely stirring comeback by a football eleven that refused to accept defeat in the 14th annual game. The visiting Moccasins were not before a crowd of more than 3.000 persons. It was the first of four championship teams that -Tech High will meet during the year. Taking advantage of its only real scorinz onDortunities.

Tech High scored in both the first and fourth Quarters. The first came after sev eral exchanges of punts when Tech High got the ball on Spartanburg's 30-yard line. Boyd. Hurst and street gained a first down and then Boyd cut through risht tackle for 17 yards and a touchdown. He outran his terference, dodged two Spartanburg tacklers and was never touched during alone in their conquest of the Petrels, a large number of Chattanooga followers cheering them to the echo from start to finish and even when hopes of victory seemed darkest.

The mere fact that the Moccasins won was not enough for them. They felt particular pride in the fact that the game was the first ever lost by the Petrels on Hermance field. NUTTY WAS RIGHT. Oglethorpe followers have the strictest confidence in the opinions of Nutty Campbell, backficld coach, but when he returned last week after scouting Chattanooga and aaid they were stronger than last year, the fans started whispering among themselves. They thought Campbell was talking the run.

That old line about what the governor of South Carolina is alleged to have said to the governor of North Carolina, came back to me last week. It was at the North Carolina State night football practice. Governor Max Gardner, one of the old football heroes in the state, was watching the practice. Back in the days before the Civil War, the last war of chivalry, when mint juleps were legal, the governor of South Carolina is supposed to have said to the governor of North Carolina that it was a long time between drinks, and I wondered if anyone knew what governor it was. Governor Gardner didn't.

He chuckled about it. The only thing the governor of North Carolina might say now to the governor of South Carolina is that he thinks the law banning the planting of cotton is pretty dumb. "I'd like to see what would happen here in North Carolina if we were to pass a law telling one of our farmers that he couldn't plant what he wanted to on his own land," said Governor Gardner. "No jury would convict that man." At any rate 1 never learned what governor was responsible for that old query which one still hears now and then. Max Gardner is a great governor of a great state.

He poked a little mild fun at Georgia and her legislative difficulties. He asked why Red Powell, The Constitution's political writer, didn't help the. Georgia governor get things straightened out. The governor is a great fellow. It is easy to understand why he was elected.

He has a humanness and personality that make him attractive. He was interested in Stribling and the Schmeling fight. I told him that when Stribling had shot all he' had, the German took it and was just getting started. He slapped his knee. "That's the way it is in politics," he said.

"You've got to learn to take a lot and then be ready to start in when the other fellow gets tired." Governor Gardner is a great football fan. He has a record that is unique and one that will never be equalled in these days of modern football rules. Governor Gardner played center and captained the North Carolina State football team years ago. He was there for two years. And then, b'gosh, if he didn't transfer to the North "Carolina law school and become captain of the football team there.

He goes to practices regularly. He had a laugh just the other day. He drove from Raleigh to Chapel Hill to watch the practice, and was refused entrance by a freshman on the gate because the Tarheels were having practice. "I am Governor Gardner," he told the irrepressible freshman. "Oh, yeah? said the freshman, in his most scornful manner.

And the governor never got in. He enjoyed it, I think, because he seems to be a great fellow. His son is playing on the Carolina squad, and will see some action as a center this fall. This was the position his father played. At Raleigh, of course, everyone knows the governor.

He attends the practices frequently, knows the players by name, and has a keen eye for the little details of play that escape the average spectator. its fourth-period touchdown. Spartanburg's lone tally was made in the third period when Hall blocked one of Gibson's punts and Millican fell on tae ball for a touchdown. Tech High was outgained by more than two to one in yards, but Spartanburg was stopped cold when the Smithies' goal was threatened. It was a tribute to the fine playing of the entire Smithie line that the victors were held to one score.

The game was played with only two substitutions, and Tech High, made both of those late in the second period. Both teams deserve much praise for the excellent play and good condition of the youngsters. Spartanburg made two spectacular drives in the first half. One came near the dose of the first quarter when the, visitors took the ball on their own j23-yard line and marched it to Tech High's 8-yard line, only to lose it on downs. Another in the second quarter went from their own 12-yard line to the Smithie 5-yard mark.

SPARTANBURG WEAKENS. It was probably due to the long drive the length of the field that sapped the strength of Spartanburg and they were, unable to push the ball half ended, O-O. ACTION IS LATE. But all the action came in the last two quarters. If all four had been like those two, it would have been too much for early season nerves.

Chattanooga's line did some) great work, stopping many of Oglethorpe's plays at the line of scrimmage. Koeninger, the big renter, distinguished himself on defense. Holden and Merritt. the tackles, and Haley and White, the ends, also turned in sparkling work on stopping stabs at the flanks. Raby, Smith and Haswell carried the brunt of the offense, although Ma-tusck's passing got the Petrels in hot water on one occasion.

PLENTY OF PUNCH. Myers and Anderson -acked a lot of punch yesterday but they did not get started in time. The weight charts of the twa lines showed that they were about even on avoirdupois. But whether or not it was the invariable presence of Koeninger, the 183-pound Moccasin center, in every line play, it seemed that the 'Nooga line was doing a shade the better work. Don't overlook the work of the Moccasin guards, either.

Oglethorpe's backfield looked better during the greater portion of the game, in fact, up until that final drive, the Moccasin-- ball carriers hadn't shown a great deaL Smith and Haswell added some punch to the Continued on Third Sports Page. the women national golf title from the veteran Mrs. Glenna Collett Vare, of Philadelphia, a five-time champion. When Miss Hicks ended the 36-hole final jnatch, 2 and 1, on the 35th green this afternoon it was the first i time in three years that the mighty Glenna had lost the crown. She played against Miss Hicks in the semi-finals last year, but won 5 and ,3.

Because of her easy victory last year it appeared that Mrs. Vare was unprepared for the struggle that confronted her today. In addition to her surprise at the brand of golf the Long Island girl displayed, Mrs. Vare had extreme difficulty with many shots which should have been easy for a player of her experience. The victory was popular, despite Mrs.

Vare's fame. Most of the gallery seemed rooting for Helen, won over to her side by the smile with which she greeted ths result of each hole. EASY GOING. The new champion is short and stocky, freckled and friendly. She takes her game with apparent ease, and regards her gallery with cordial good humor.

Helen's attitude toward a tournament appears to be that it is just another game. None of the reserve, the distant attitude, that other famous golfers display, for her. As the semi-finals started yesterday she food talking calmly with friends, glancing occasionally toward the starter's tent to catch the rue for teeing off. flipping a passer-by with rlub and smiling broadly when he turned to say. "Good luck, Helen." Miss Hicks began trying for the highest women's golfing honor back in 1927 at Cherry Valley, when she was a girl only 1(5 years old.

She failed to qualify, but she tried it again the next year and the next, und succeeded in reaching the semifinals at Los Angeles last year. DIFFERENT STORY It was an unfortunate match Miss Hicks made then. She was paired against Glenna Collett, then in the peak of her form, and went out promptly, 5 and 3. But this year it was a differ-' ent story. She qualified with an 87, five below the medalists, and sailed through her first victory over Miss Mildred Hackl, Chicago, 6 and 5.

Iu the second round Miss Hicks met a former champion, Miss Marion Hollins, of Santa Cruz. She won that by a close margin 1 up on the 19th hole. NEXT MATCH. In her match, Helen eliminated i Mrs. Leona Pressler, of San 4 and 3, and then went into the semifinals with Miss Knid Wilson, British champion, of Notts.

England, her hardest opponent at that stage. Miss Hicks, however, showed a game that was second to none in the tourney, winning, 2 and 1. It was her near hole-in-one that drew the most applause in that semifinal round. Helen's drive on the 175-yard 16th missed the hole by only 10 feet and "she holed her putt for a birdie 2.

SUMMARY for the benefit of the football team. But they learned yesterday to further respect his wisdom. Campbell had predicted that Chattanooga would breeze through the newly formed Dixie conference to the championship. Certainly the team in that loop beating Chattanooga will deserve all the laurels accompanying such a feat. Campbell was in West Virginia scouting Duquesne yesterday.

Coached by Scrappy Moore, former University of Georgia athlete and also an outfielder for the Birmingham Barons in his spare time, Chattanooga yesterday showed all the requisites of a winning football team, a powerful, fast-charging line and an experienced, versatile and speedy backfield. packing immense power and adequate reserve strength. Perhaps they didn't deserve to beat Oglethorpe yesterday, for if Sam Baker had caught either one of those passes tossed by Frank Anderson deep in Chattanooga territory in the second quarter, a touchdown was assured. But Baker dropped the first and missed the second over the goal line by inches. After the game Coach Harry Robertson said of the Moccasin team: "They looked very powerful and should have, a very successful OUTSTANDING PLAY.

The outstanding play of the game was made by Oglethorpe and the fans of both sides unselfishly recognized it with tremendous applause. Dapper Myers took the ball in midfield, raced around his left end behind four interferers, darted out into the open field alone and sped to the only touchdown made by the Petrels. Another thriller was Anderson's 35-yard crisscross return of a kickoff. The crowd was tense and expectant as Chattanooga opened with a successful passing attack in the closing minutes of the last quarter that, mixed with off-tackle shoots and straight line plunges, culminated in the touchdown that decided the game. It is seldom that fans notice particularly the play of a linesman, but they had much to say about the work of Captain Koeniger, the indefatigable center.

Sponsors, carrying the customary crysanthemums, and their escorts were: Miss Georgia Brown and Ray SewelL Miss Betty Crandall and John Hallman, and Miss Martha Keys and Dan Duke.
