STEPHENSON AdrarUaer Srtertinr Editor AUbimi'i football team soundly trounced an outclassed Ckrason Titer without exerting the power the Tide win need against Vanderbllt Thanksgtvmg. And. luckily for Jess Neery's young and Inexperienced team, the big Crimson line didnt hive to get tough to win they pleased 74 to 7. The feature' of the Tlde'f conquest the smoothness of the everal machine that Coach Frank Thomas rolled out on the racetrack at Cram ton BowL The clumsiness of the Kentucky tame was conspicuous by Its absence and Alabama's athletes ran along behind nice Interference all afternoon. Alabama's passing fame bewHdered the Booth Carolinians.

hire to kick but twice and then tt wasnt necessary. And Alabama's flock of backs especially Howard Chappell seemed to hit their stride at the right time behind a Una that kept tuned up to the situation. The Clemson slaughter was pitiful, but Alabama either had to score or make It obvious that they were laying down. There was little to keep them from racing for lengthy gains and passing out of range of the Clemson secondary as the efforts of the Tigers were listless after the touchdown trotting got well under way. Tigers lacked fight Clemson'a line was brushed aside and the Celmson secondary was never on its toes, except in the first period when the lone Olemson score came as the result of an intercepted pass and a penalty that put the oval on Alabama's one-yard line.

Weaker than any team to play here this year In the importing department of blocking, the Clemson team advanced Alabama's klckoffs by sheer pluck on the part of the receiver. There was no blocking and not once was an Alabama man knocked off his feet by Clemson players who were supposed to help clear a way for the ball carrier. But out of the chaos for Clemson strode one mighty little soldier, game lad If ever there was one. He was R. T.

Miller, a 167-pound back of Tampa, who did all that could be expected of one man under such conditions. Miller's cool passing and defensive efforts were meritorious and this lad stuck gamely to his guns until he was removed late In the game. Miller made many of the tackles in the secondary, enough for any man to drop from exhaustion and he stood up well under the mighty rush of the big Bama linemen when he dropped back to kick. His boots were magnificent under the handicap he faced from the ever presence of Max Jackson, DUdy, Turner, Leach, Prey and the dozens of other linemen who participated In the easiest workout Alabama has had In many seasons. From an Alabama standpoint tt would be hard to choose the sjars, but Howard Chappell convinced the small gathering that he Is one of the best running backs In the Tide camp.

Chappell Is Great Back Chappell la fast and elusive. Off like a flash he runs hard and shifts quickly; He picked up a proverbial mile during his tenure in a backfleld that has picked up marvelously behind a line that has Improved a hundred fold almost over night. Among other things he streaked 82 yards for a touchdown. Alabama's one-sided victory put the Crimsons into scoring lead in the Southern Conference that hardly 'win be overtaken. The 74 points against Clemson gives Alabama a total of 307, which seems safe enough.

Thomas's Tide doubtless could have ran up more than 100 points on Olemson, but In giving every man on the squad an opportunity to shine the score naturally was kept down. Montgomery fans saw their favorites play a big part in the conquest. Johnny brought the biggest cheer with one of his old-time stunts when he sprinted 60 yards for a touchdown shortly after the third period got under way. Cain's ailing leg held him up in fine shape as he sliced off tackle, slapped down the first would-be tackier that neared him and then cleared his way with some hard running near the sidelines. He outran the Clemson 'secondary with plenty to spare once he got Into the open.

Chesty Moseley Intercepted a pass that led to another touchdown, blocked beautifully and otherwise lived up to the honors he has won since fighting his way to a varsity berth In the 'Bama 1, 1 The University of South Care Una football team is captained by Mile Bloant halfback, who will lead his mate against Auburn hare en Thanksgiving.

SWEEPS TO Panthers Use Aerial Attack In Handing Army Its Worst De feat Of Season, 26 PITTSBURGH, Not. 14. lng ground fog that, enshrouded th big municipal stadium today proved a per fect screen for th passing attack of Coach Jock Sutherland' Pittsburgh Pan ther a they took to th atmosphere to hand a strong Army eleven it worst defeat of th season.

When th final gun sounded and 63,000 spectator were able to relax from th tiring task of peering through th fog, the scoreboard read: Pitt 26; Army 0, Fourteen hundred Cadets who had sat in dismal silence from the opening whistle made their way out of the arena and prepared to return to West Point. There was never a doubt of the out come, so completely did the Panthers dominate the situation. Their backs. Heller and Relder, tor gaping holes tnrougn the Army ramparts all afternoon and their aerial raid demoralised the Cadets defense. Not once did the Cadets penetrate Pittsburgh territory.

It was only on rare occasion the bare legged Army backs had an opportunity carry ine bail. Using the forward nam with nro- ficiency, the Panther pegged aerials through and over the West Pointer for all four of their touchdowns and rolled up a total of 302 yards by that route. The winners collected 16 first downs against three for the Cadets, who made only 32 yards from scrimmage all after noon. Had tt not been fof several stoutheart ed stands on their goal line, the Cadets. playing before a Pittsburgh audience for the first time, would have gone down under an overwhelming score.

Once, In tne final period, they checked the Pan therg assault only one foot from the last line. Again they held on their five yard stripe, and on three other occasion they turned back the charging Pitt team inside tne zo-yara line. Although they marched to Army five- yard line in the opening period, the Pan thers did not succeed in scoring until the second. Then they struck with startling swiftness, colling, regular right end. who never before threw a pass for Pitt In a regular game, went back far in his own territory as If to kick.

Kelly Leads Cats ToV.M.UVin LEXINGTON, VA, Nov. 1 4. VW History repeated itself today when a big and powerful Kentucky team spoiled Virginia Military Institute's homecoming by downing a hard fighting Cadet squadron, 20 to 12, In the annual football gam. Two year ago it was a sensational sophomore, Kelly, who led the parade and again today it waa the same blonde Kentuckian who was the spearhead of th Wildcat attack. Kelly registered two of the three Kentucky touchdowns and his great running placed the Wildcat In position to score the other that mad th difference between the veteran invading force and the lighter but game Cadet eleven.

Kentucky's steam-roller attack registered IS first downs to four for V. M. but the Cadets forced the Kentucklans to do most of their gaining in their own territory and (topped several serious threat by out-charging the heavier Wildcat forwards. Kelly placed Kentucky In a scoring position early in the game with gamins of 20 and 11 yards and Kercheval rammed the line to carry the ball over. Kelly scored a short time late after Johnny Gill, Cadet captain, had punted out of bounds on his 45-yard line.

In the third quarter Kelly shot off -right end, side stepped a tackle and ran 89 yard for touchdown. I V. M. took the air to score its first touchdown. Stumpy Traver received 41 -yard pass to get into scoring distance and another pas was caught by Urlck for a touchdown as it bounded off Phlpps's hand.

V. M. scored It last marker when Harry Bays, a reserve back, took a Kentucky punt in the last period and dodged and ran 25 yard to cross the goal. CLARK UNIVERSITY BEATS TUSKEGEE ATLANTA, Nov. 14.

Nor. 14. (ff) Georgia-Tech today failed to convert a point after cither of its two touchdown and bowed to Pennsylvania beneath a 13 to 12 score. The longest run of th season on Franklin Field was th outstanding play of the game. It was a 92-yard return of a punt by.

young Pat Barron, of th Clarksvllls, Ga, Barron whose clan in clude Red and Carter, Tech gridiron luminaries of other years. Barron's run was a sparkling performance, achieved apparently with ease. He bucked no opponents and straight armed no tackier. Instead he seemed to slither through the Quaker in his way. Down oA his eight yard line, where he caught Carl Perina's long punt, he twisted and turned through a swarm of red jersies, raced past the backfleld, eluded the desperate Iwgt of Jerry Ford, the safety man, and was clear to lope the rest of the way' for a touchdown with only the referee at his heel.

Perm had scored twice in th first period and converted one extra point; Tech had made a touchdown and missed the kick. So Barron's touchdown in the fourth quarter put the Tornadoes in a position to tie the count Stan Sokolls, tackle, blocked Roy Me-Arthur's dropkick, however, and the chance was gone. Tech strove desperately to score again through the 14 minutes that remained, but although their passing attack brought them to striking distance they got no farther. The other three touchdowns came In a first period which saw six passes attempted and all completed. Don Kellett sophomore quarterback, caught McArthur's punt on his own 62-yard mark and streaked away to the goal line behind perfect Interference for the first score.

Warren Gette, placekicked th extra point, which won the game, as It. developed. Gette's second placeklck for the extra point after a touchdown by Jerry Ford, was blocked by Flncher. Ford smashed through right tackle from the three-yard stripe for his tally. The ball had been brought there by Capt.

Paul Rlblett after Dink Morris blocked Tech's punt near midfield. It looked as if Rlblett was going to score when he ran the ball back, but Galloway of Tech forced him out of bounds. The Georgians' touchdown followed a 21-yard pass from McArthur to Jerry Goldsmith which went to the Penn 37-yard line. Galloway added 13 yards around right end and Hart cleared It up on a pass from McArthur. The latter's dropkick was blocked.

I. IN SCORELESS HEAT UNIVERSITY, Nov. 14. Virginia and Virginia Polytechnic Institute fought to a scoreless tie before 7,000 spectators In the final gam of the season in Bcott Stadium today. The Cavaliers outgalned the Oobblera almost three yards to one in rushing but lacked punch to take advantage of many good chances to score.

Until closing momenta of the game Tech did not cross midfield. Virginia had the decided advantage on the offense all the afternoon, gaining a total of 360 yards from running and passing to 127 for the visitors. Virginia gained 12 first downs and Tech six, but th Gobblers gained half of these in the last minute advance that brought them Into Virginia territory for the first time In the afternoon.

Big Ben Smith, hero of many Alabama conquests of the past, contributed one of the most spectacular plays of the game with a beautiful running catch of Hillman Holley's heava late in the sec ond quarter. Holley made Smith go and Smith went He slipped past the Clem son secondary under full -steam and leaped to catch a pass that would have been a failure had ha slowed down for even a fraction of a second. He partially reversed his field to keep from go ing out of bouno and was overtaken and downed on Clemson' eight-yard line. Holley and Cain provided the punch that sent the score fluctuating upward to 33 to 7, but a play like Smith made on this occasion was worth seeing re gardless of the score.

Auburn and Georgia are both schooled In the late Knute Rockne's style of play as Interpreted by five-of the greatest players ever to perform at Notre Dame. Wynne and Klley, Auburn tutors, and Harry Mehre, Rex Enright and Ted Twomey, Georgia mentors, starred under Rockne at the South Bend institution.

The first three named played together on the 1921 Notre Dame eleven, which was one of the best teams ever produced by Georgia won the 1930 clash, 39 to 7, but the Tigers staged a much closer fight than the score Indicates. Mehre's charges failed to ride on "easy street" until the final half, the score at intermission being 7-7. It was a case of an experienced and large team versus a small band of courageous. Inexperienced warriors, with the veterans finally crushing the youngsters in the third and fourth periods. The classic in Columbus will be the first college game played in the Electric City this season and is expected to attract one of the largest crowds ever to see a Georgia-Auburn gam.

Football fan who aw th tarn declared it to be one of tha best in Dixie this sunny afternoon. After the first portion of th Initial quarter had been spent in a seesaw affair with neither team showing any advantage, two Tulane backs formed a ball carrying combination which netted 45 yards and a touchdown for Tulane in two play. Not satisfied with his scoring achievement, Simon in the next quarter took Phillips into his association for a series of line plays into which they worked a short pass followed by line bucks for th second touchdown.

Phillips kicked goal, making the scor at the half Tulane 13, Auburn 0. The game appeared to be stored away for Tulan but Bull McFaden' plebes would not admit it. They entered the second half determined to win. Their first score cam suddenly, Tulane had advanced the ball to 10 yards' distance from the line which the Tigers were defending. Tulane fumbled and Auburn recovered.

Standing behind his own goal line, Burcn Henderson, an Auburn rat from Birmingham, faked a pass and swept around right end, cleared each Tulane gentleman In his way, and dashed over for a touchdown. Turner kicked goal. Tulane scored its third touchdown shortly thereafter and again it looked as if the New Orleans youngster would return home with the long end of the score. With the score 10 to 13 against them the fighting Tigers conceited a long-distance scoring scheme which worked. It started SO yards from the Auburn goal Snider threw a pass to Henderson who received it on Tulane' 25-yard line, and rushed over for.

the sixth and final touchdown. Moore kicked goal. The game ended the Auburn rats' season. In addition to Tulane they defeated the rate of Georgia, Birmingham-Southern and Oglethorpe and lost to Florida.
