Every quarter could be marked up as a Tulane quarter If football was measured la the terms of the prlae fighter. Auburn's moat Impressive showing was. mad In the second quarter when for a time It appeared 'that the vaunted offense of the men Mew Orleans had met aa Insurmountable defense. And Jt was In that quarter that some of the flashiest line gains of the Auburn eleven were registered. To many It appeared that the game would finally end In a draw contest.

so evenly matched did the two teams 1 appear. But Auburn lacked the drive to place the Tulane eleven In a defensive position except on one ocea- sion. During the entire game the goal line of Tulane was kept free from every threat of Auburn. The only near threat of Auburn to score came when Auburn reached the Tulane twenty -yard line and the consequent effort for a field goal from the toe of Wil Football Results Mighty Red Grange Routs Strong Penn Eleven By Flash Dazzling Thrusts Through, Mud at Franklin Field Bring Victory to lllini PHILADELPHIA.

Reserves Of Tech UnableToStandUp Against Notre Dame rish After Scoring Two Touchdown Satisfied To Hold Back on Defensive ATLANTA. GjL Oct 31 Phantoms the Four Horsemea stalked la Notre Dame's 11 to Hallowe'en victory over the Golden Tornado of Georgia Tech here today. Tech muffed her opportunity of rears to vanquish the Rockne outfit when she eent a second string team against the Hoosiers In the annual meetisjg of the two outfits. wkb ins exception of Walt Godwin, at left guard, the Techi varsity viewea ine clash from the sida lines. This Is the first Instance In Captain Dong wy-eoff's grid career at Tack that ha has been kept out of play.

Although the twice all-Southern back was In uniform. Tech coaches apparently deemed his injuries la recent games loo aen- ous. Played In a ceaseless chilling drlssle the affair was as listless aa It waa monotonous. Tha accustomed enthusiasm of the spectators waa lacking, and the Intersections! classic, ever a gala occasion In the past, attracted hardly 10.000 persons. The game waa the most eolorleaa of the season thus far, and waa marsed by no expected flashes of brilliance or even extraordinary gaina by either squad at any stage of play.

Drenched bv intermittent rains through yester day, and last night the soggy field slowed dowa action nouceaoiy, yei the players themselves aa a whole were, sluggardly In their actions. The Hoosler varsity experienced no end of trouble with the Tech reserves and after accumulating their thirteen solnts during the irat half, realised the- futility of battering the Tech line and fell back-o defensive play during the larger part of the final halt The Rockne outfit slightly outweigh- in gthe Tornado, 'smashed tha Tech forward wall far an aggregate of downa during the' entire game, while the Yellowjackete reeled off a pair of air thrusts for twin first downs In their single threatening offensive of the game. Judged by the Tech policy of withholding her regulars during almost the entire game, the Tornado waa ap- oarentlr whipped a tka outset The mark of ctfcfeat was Indelibly scrawled across the early Tech play, and the Inexperienced reserve outfit confused signals and fumbled not Infrequently as evidence of nervous trepeaa-tlon. Tech apparently did not expect to win or even tie the Irish. The Rockne prowess of the past was not reflected in this victory, and the Tech team that whipped Penn State and trampled Florida on successive Satur days, would have given the Tornado her' best chance, for a Notre.

Dame scalp In her hfstory. The clash eWtblted a single player of extraordinary ability. In Christy Flanagan, Irlah halfback, around whom the Hoosieofftnse as well as defense was buiftT His retirement from the game placed the fray on the ievel Of mediocrity. 1 During the second half. Tech's line withstood the Rockne impact success fully and a punting duel ensued with the honors-about even.

The ball was in mldfteld during the larger portion of the time, and neither team dis- nlaved an evident advantage. Neither outfit made a first down during the third quarter. Notre Dame essayed three passes in the final half, neither of which waa completed, one being Intercepted by Tech for a trifling gain.

The Cadets, however, took the ball on downs on their own ix-yard line.

Arkansas Tech 14, Central Teachers 7. Tech authorities have not decided whether to play In the east, to bring an eastern team here, or to let mat ters rest with one intersectlonal game. As to the remainder of the Southern schedule, that too, has hot been tinai ly determined. In all probability it will be pretty much the same as was played this year with the possible shifting of several dates. Again, hew teams may be brought here, in im event no eastern team Is played it I certain that at least one more south ern opponept will be adfW, There Is almost an entire Southern conference to pick this team from.

Tech does not Intend to make It. schedule let difficult, the game with Oglethorpe certainly will be continued for it has grown into a classic, Florida and Alabama too draw enormous gates here, and they probably will be continued. V. M. I.

Auburn made a brilliant stand and Tulane waa only able to advance the ball one yard la. two tries. On the fourth dowa with the ball oa Aa burn's one yard Use Flournoy crashed over for the first touchdown of the game and goal was kicked. Tha second touchdown of tfie game earoa la the fourth quarter with leas than aevea minutes to play. Auburn had fumbled the ball on her own It yard line and a flashy rua by Lau- tenschlager around Auburn left end resulted la the touchdown.

Tulane failed In an effort to kick goal. Auburn Atteeapts Rally During the laat five minutes of play Coach Morey of Auburn, made a des perate effort to stave off defeat by sending In eight aaw men. Up to this tlma there had been no substitutions on either side. But the best Auburn could go with the new forca In her lineup was a brilliant forward paas from Tuxworthy to Crane for II yards. The pass started from IS yard line and through brilliantly exe cuted came too late to do Auburn any good.

Showing occasionally an offensive drive which her. supporters did not expect, Auburn looked dangerous at times. But tha drives of Auburn were for the most part confined to the cen ter of the field and from her own ter ritory. Tulane held like a wall when ever her goal was In Williams and Turner of Auburn, shone especial ly bright in the few spurts of Au burn's Both hit the line bsrd and made frequent gains through Tu line's line In the holes opened by Top' Peterson, assisted by the Auburn tackles. There was no sign of a let up In fight through the whole course of th struggle so far as the Auburn eleven was concerned.

The men of Auburn -went Into the fray with the odds against them but they played like vet erana and fought their way to glory though going down to a decisive de feat. Xuburn was fortunate in that the field waa heavy because nndoubt edly the offensive of the Shaughnessy men was handicapped by the yielding turf. More than half of the game wa played In the mud between first and second base on the Cramton Bowl dla mond, a -space bereft of In two quarters of the game this "skinner" portion of the field happened to be In the territory between Auburn's 25 and IS yard lines. Tulane was badly handicapped on offense in this portion of the field and tha same thing can be said of the Auburn team. In spite of the rain which fell Inter mittently up to the time of the Montgomery turned out approximately 1,000 people to witness the struggle.

The bands of Auburn and Tulane enlivened the scene of. battle and furnished entertainment for the big crowd. The game was played In fast time and until the last portion of the fourth quarter there were' ho substitutions. Auburn met a superior tetm 'but fought a fight of which every Auburn supporter felt proud at the conclusion of the game. The usual gloom of defeat was overwhelmed In the knowledge that the Tiger of Auburn Is the fighting, clawing animal of the past.

The Navy floundered In a Michigan gale today and went to pieces under a 64 to 9 score, while 48,000 frensled fanr made a spectacular background. Her line rammed by the battering asasults of "Bo" McLenda, her endr circled by the fleet Gregory and Her renstein, and her morale dissipated by the unerring passing of Benny Friedman, Navy made a pitiful showing Her line was paper, through which Michigan burst, blocking punts and throwing runners for losses, while het attack never could get started becausr of the deadly tackling of the Wolver ines' first line of defense. In the last five minutes of play the Volunteers came back viciously to 'meet the overhead as well as running attacks of the visitors and as the half ended Georgia runners on their last two nlava had been hurled for aggre- gat.
