Six of Georgia Tech's regulars warbled their swan song of college football at Grant field Thursday, and it was an heroic anthem crowned by victory against their hereditary enemies from Auburn.

Beside Captain Poole, Mack Tharpe, Johnny Marshall, Tom Angley, Carter Barron and Sam Murray, also ended their service with the Tiger game. Even the last stand of Red Barron, whose comrades bore him from the field of battle in the first few minutes of play, had a touch of that spirit which is found only on the college gridiron. Calif.

IRMINGHAM, November 23. The big Crimson Wave from Tuscaloosa, headed by Hoyt Winslett, Red Barnes and Archie Taylor, made it four in a row over Kid Woodruff's band from Athens at Rickwood field here this afternoon, but there was a flicker of light in the gloorn that spread over the Georgia stands as the Bulldogs tallied the first touchdown they have scored on Alabama in four years on the last r'ay of today's game. three years the boys from Athens have crossed the -state line and lugged back zeros. This trip they got away with six points and if it wasn't GOLDEN TORNADO which rumbled and roared and changed direction like the monsoons of the south seas finally found its power in the Jast half of the game at Grant field Thanksgiving day and blew the Auburn Tigers from the field by a score of 20 to 7. The first half was as heart-breaking for the Tech fans as the second half was thrilling.

The Jackets started four marches to the Auburn goal and each time a fumble nipped the advance. The heads-up football of the Tigers turned each one of these fumbles into a decided advantage. an ly assures acceptance of the California invitation, as soon as the southern conference gives permission, a foregone conclusion. Alabama's decisive trouncing of the terrlny performance. Clarke, fighting halfback of Morris Brown, was the outstanding star for the local eleven, always on top of every play, and whose intercepting ft two forward passes saved a defeat for his eleven.

Coach Johnson, mentor of the Mor-ri Brown outfit, was pleased with the showing his eleven made against the strong Atlanta University team, while Coach Aikens. of the opposing eleven, was gratified with his pupils in making it. all siniare with the undefeated In the first half it was Auburn's game by virtue of Tech's mistakes more than by her own offensive power, though the lone Tiger touchdown was the result of a 30-yard march across the goal after Nelson had carried the initial kickoff to Tech's 30-yard line. A queer trick of fate in the form of conference team. The coaches of both teams Question enough to bring victory it was.

anyway, a start toward better things. Alabama flashed a powerful offense and a line that often smeared the plays behind the Georgia wall. The Crimson defense was superb and Wallace Wade's forward wall has never functioned better since he began tutoring these big red boys from Tuscaloosa. Alabama played a brilliant brand of football to beat the Woodruff band and Georgia, though beaten, never once let the Tide forget it was in the football game to the finish. Alabama repulsed every offensive threat of the Bulldog machine and it appeared that the goose-egg jinx had again been dropped in the Georgia camp.

That is, it did until the fourth period was everything but spent. a reliijured knee took Carter Barron, star of Tech's backfield, from the ed the decisions of the referee on ft-eral plays, two or three of which pre am on the arms of his fellow play ers, before the first qtiarter was well vented touchdowns, but there were no bickerings to delay the game, which was played unusually fast for a rain- er galloped to a first down and then a Tech fumble wa recovered by the Tigers for a (5-yard gain, placing tb ball on Tech's 6-yard line.

Red Barron went into that game knowing that he would probably come out on the arms of his teammates, yet he did not flinch, and while he was in the game he played with an abandon born of desperation. He knew that any time he was tackled from the side the strained ligaments in that knee would revolt under the strain, but that knowledge did not keep Red Barron from smashing into the Auburn tackier with all his strength. Many football players would have revolted against the nemesis of hard luck that has been pursuing Barron just when he seemed to have reached the apex of his football career not so Carter.

He did his best and when he was borne from the field, his face Hushed with the pain and an unwelcome tear in his eye. The roar of applause which greeted him was not a mere clapping of hands, but a sincere tri'oute to a great football plxyer who has done much to make the name of Barron famous on the gridiron. As is usually the case in the last game of the season, many substitutes were given a last chance to earn their letter by participating in the play. The result'was that not one of the graduating players finished the game, but there was not one of the seniors who did not distinguish himself in his last effort. Despite the fact that the first half of the game was played under the shadow of Tornado errors, the last half made up for the misplays, an the graduating players can be proud of their last effort.

The figures give Tech a decided advantage in every department of the game in the second half, though Aubtlrn chalked up seven first clowns in the first half to five for Tech. In the Red and Black not only gained them a three-year record of no defeats as well as their third conference championship in as many years, but also left them among the mere handful of teams undefeated in the national football season.
