Mary's Gaels galloped to a 13 to 7 victor; over Southern California here today before 75,000 rioting fans. With surprising and unheralded deception, the Gaels against seemingly great odds rose to subdue the men of Troy In the third period, after the Trojans had knocked at the door of victory. Bud Toscani, half back, and George Canrlnus, right end, were the St. Mary's players who turned defeat Into such a resounding triumph that the St. Mary's rooters swept onto the field after the struggle and razed the goal posts.

Toscani had intercepted a Trojan pass on his 43-yard line. Red Bchefflin dropped back from the shift, hurling a long pass to Toscani as he retreated, and the Trojans' secondary defense, caught flatfooted, could only watch him race the remaining 25 yards to score. No one had regained equilibrium when the second and even more spectacular thrust came. The Trojans had been forced to punt and St. Mary's took the ball on Its 40-yard line.

A thrust at the vaunted Southern California line failed. Then Schefflln dropped back, hurling the ball to George Canrlnus, who had sifted through Troy's defense. The toss spiraled 35 yards, and the fleet end scampered the remaining 25 yards to score. The Trojans inarched 87 yards In tor their touchdown earlier in the game. Above are shown captains of the standout teams In the Southern Conference this year: Joe Eharpe, center; Austin Downes, Georgia quarterback, and Jerry Dalrymple, Tulane end.

AUBURN PLEBES American NASHVILLE, Sept. 2. (jiPl Scoring two touchdowns in each period, Vanderbllt University opened Its 1931 football season here this afternoon by decisively defeating the lighter Western Kentucky Teachers eleven, 52 to 6. Dixie Roberts, 160 pound Commodore halfback, branded himself as one of the best broken field runners on the Vanderbllt squad as he accounted for four of the Gold and Black's touchdowns, three of them coming as runs of 64, 40 and 42 yards. On his other trip across the goal line, Roberts plunged over right tackle for four yards.

The Kentuckians' only score came with less than three minutes to play. Assistant Coach Josh Cody had sent In Van-derbilt's third team. Askew, a substitute halfback, attempted a lateral pass, and Beam, a Teacher end, intercepted the toss on his own 35-yard stripe and galloped 65 yards across the Commodore goal line. Tommy Henderson, who substituted for Close at quarterback for Vandy, also exhibited some neat running, accounting for two markers. On his scoring Jaunts he traveled 21 and 13 yards through tackle.

Henderson added three extra points by dropkicks. WEST. KY. (6) Fos. VANDY (52) Holman LE Klrwan H.

26. Winning the opening game with Birmingham-Southern by the largest margin an Auburn team has won Its first tilt since 1925, the Tigers rested Saturday in preparation to resuming practice on Drake Field this week for their second foe of the 1931 season, Wisconsin. The Badger will be encountered In Madison, Oct. 10, In Auburn's Initial lntersectlonal battle since meeting Army at West Point In 1923. No game Is scheduled for the Wynne machine this weekend.

Coach Chet Wynne's eleven made an auspicious start on their nine-game schedule and one that was pleasing to the mentors, alumni and friends of Alabama Polytechnic Institute. However, there Is plenty of room for Improvement and the players will have to Improve If creditable showings are made against the remaining opponents on the schedule, but the performance staged against the Panthers was far from discouraging. The only reason that the coaches were satisfied was because It was the first game. Auburn will be able to have one team that compares with the average In the Southern Conference, but will be weaK in reserve strength, especially will this be true In the line where capable replacements are a necessity. Ten linemen and eight ball carriers were the best bets for the Tigers against the Panthers.

Buddy McCollum and Ralph Jordan, centers; Boots Chambless, Donald Jones and Ernest Molpus, guards: Co-Capt. James Bush, George Holdcroft and Hannis Prim, tackles; David Ariail and Porter Grant, ends; Co-Capt. Davidson and Ike Parker, quarterbacks; Lind-ley Hatfield, Jlmmie Hitchcock, Casey Kimbrell, Firpo Phipps and Allen Rogers, halfbacks, and Tom Brown, fullback, were the ones who occupied stellar roles at times in the night classic in Montgomery. Centers Play Well McCollum and Jordan did their share in breaking up passes, were aqcurate In passing from center and were alert in following the ball on the defense. Jordan was also fast In getting down the field on punts.

Chambless, Jones, and Molpus did some fierce and hard tackling, looked good in pulling out of the line slipping into the Interference and It looks like they will have good seasons if injuries do not overtake them. Molpus was a sprinter in covering kicks. Bush was a star as long as he was in the game and put up a fight that inspired his running mates at the tackle berths, and Prim. All were rushing the Gold and Black kickers in mid-season style, opened up large gaps for the backs and took care of their duties on the defense. It was a joy to watch Grant and Ariail cavort on the wings.

They did some effective blocking, handled the opposing tackles like they should be handled and stood out as long as they were In the Ariail's blocking when Hatfield skirted right end for the first touchdown of the game was one of the highlights of the evening. Grant's catching of passes was another feature. Though failing to run with the ball a single time, Co-Capt. Davidson and Parker emerged as two of the Tiger luminaries. They mixed the plays that they called and their faking and blocking came In mighty handy.

Davidson recovered the partially blocked kick that accounted for the Tigers' fourth touchdown. Hitchcock Leads Drive Hitchcock was the leaWng offensive, star with three touchdowns. He averaged 43 yards on six kicks, caught passes in major league fashion and was a deadly and accurate tafkler. A sure candidate for all-Southern In this boy. Hatfield scored the first touchdown of the evening and was one of the best blockers on the team.

It gives Hatfield a great thrill to take a man out of play and see one of his mates make a lengthy gain. This is the spirit that makes winning teams. Phipps, though playing only a few minutes, hurled a beautiful pass to Hitchcock that netted a gain of 28 yards. It was a pass that was faultless. He also got away on a 40-yard Jaunt that was the longest run of the game from scrimmage.

Kimbrell, Rogers and Brown reeled of several gains that brought back memories of Auburn's great players. Brown is sure of a regular berth as long as he blocks like he did against Birmingham-Southern. while the showing made in Montgomery was pleasicg to about 20.000 eyes, several malor errors cropped up that the coaches will work hard to iron out before the Wisconsin encounter.

First Game WHIPSOUTHERN Wynne's Passing Features Baby Tigers' 20-7 Victory Over Panthers AUBURN, Sept. 56. Coach Earl McFaden's Auburn plebea opened their 1931 season here on Drake Field Saturday afternoon with a 20 to 7 victory over the Birmingham-Southern baby Panthers. Both coaches had to use numerous substitutes on account ot the extremely hot weather. After several exchanges of punts In the middle ot the second quarter the baby Panthers started a drive that terminated when Ike Young threw a pass to Joe Weatherly that was good for 10 yards ana the first touchdown of the game.

Poor tackling by two Auburn backs enabled the fleet-footed Weatherly to cross the final white stripe. Davis placed kicked for the extra point. Spurred by the Initial score, the Tiger cubs received the kickoff on their 20-yard line and on straight line bucks advanced the ball to mldfleld from where Breezy Wynne threw a pass to Ward Wright that netted 80 yards and six points. It was a perfectly executed aerial heave. Moore made the extra point on a plunge over center.

Auburn had a slight edge In the third period but failed to score but counted again at the start of the fourth quarter when Harry Whltten hit left tackle for a touchdown. Haygood Paterson, who played a nice game at left tackle, had his place kick for the extra point blocked by three Gold and Black players. The passing combination of Wynne to Wright was again called upon for service in the last quarter and responded with another beautiful pass that was good for 30 yards and the final touchdown of the afternoon. Moore again bucked over center for the extra tally. Lex Fullbright's machine looked good In the opening half but was outplayed after the Intermission.

Weatherly's long distance punting and the line play of Davis, Jackson and Duncan kept the Hilltop team in the running In the second half. The starting eleven for Auburn was Kemp and Morris, ends; Paterson and Turner, tackles: Welch and Houston, guards; Haigler, center: Brown, quarterback: Henderson and Dunn, halfbacks and Harry Whltten, fullback. Another complete team used by Coach McFaden was Ed Whltten and Fenton, ends: Bedford and Stover, tackles: Pace and Porter, guards; Muskegrove, center; Caton, quarterback; Wynne and Wright, halfbacks and Moore, fullback. Birmingham-Southern's lineup: Davis and Jackson, ends: Mitchell and Curry, tackles; Parker and Fisher, guards; Duncan, center; Young, quarterback; Clark and Weatherly, halfbacks and West, fullback.

N. CAROLINA WHIPS WAKE FOREST, 37-0 CHAPEL HILL, Sept. 28. Unleashing a running and passing attack which Wake Forest's deacon eleven was unable to stop, the University of North Carolina football team scored a 37 to 0 victory in its opening game. Led by Rip Slusser, Johnny Branch and his substitute, Peacock, the Tar Heels made 11 first down and six touchdowns.

Slusser scored three touchdowns by speedy circling of Wake Forest's tackles. Peacock made his debut in a varsity game by running a kick-off 85 yards for a touchdown on the first play in which he took part. REAL GRID SCRAP Hornets Meet Powerful New Orleans Team At Bowl Thursday Night Another "first game of the season" Is carded for Thursday night at Cramton Bowl when the local State Teachers College Hornets will meet the strdhg eleven representing New Orleans University and when that interested sector of Montgomery's football population will attempt to put over this "first game" in the big way that has characterized the preceding two big night games at Cramton Bowl. The State Teachers College Hornets have been working hard for two weeks now and have all their prospects under severe training for this opening contest as a part of, the heavy schedule facing the local boys. The football fans of Montgomery have always been Interested in the athletic fortunes of the Hornets in all their sports.

The local school will present a strong team on Thursday night that will be both heavy and shifty. The forward wall has promised to be the best seen at the, local school in the past five years. The backfleld, to be led by Captain Oran Frazler, will have more weight and punch as a result of the promise of such ball carriers as A. D. Brown, George Hobr son, Steve Hamilton and Robert Parker, who carry lot of weight and will balance the other lighter backs who have speed to spare.

-j The entire team looks like they are being primed for a stellar season under the tutelage of Coach Gaston F. Lewis, who is being assisted by Elisha Campbell, graduate of the local college, and) temporarily by Rufus Lewis and Prank Lewis both of whom won their letters at the local college and soon be off for their teaching Joba In two nearby county training schools. The visiting eleven from New Orleans promise to offer plenty of trouble for the local boys. They have the inspiration' of their 1930 season when they lost only two games and they are depending upon the work of several returning veteran stars who include Captain Claiborne, Gibson, Smith and Levy in the backfleld and Sterling, Noy, Green, Rogers and the Augustine brothers on the line. Coaches Hazzard and Green will bring their aggregation to Montgomery early Wednesday and have already indicated that the Hornets will have a tough night before they start the 1931 season with a victory as the local fans hope the Hornets can do.

The other details for a big opening night are being worked out. The crack 35-piece State College Band will board a special trolley car at 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon to give a boosting cencert for two hours preceding the game and throughout the circuit being planned by the Cramton Bowl management and the Alabama Power Company. The Band will be at the game to give that appealing music which makes all the State College games go over with a bang. AH tickets will be sold at the gates Thursday night and ample seating place will be available for the colored and white fans who witness this opening game for the local Hornets. Hygro Is Beaten By Running Blaze HAVRE DE GRACE, Sept.

26 (IP) A pair of fleet two-year-olds from the West dominated the renewal of trie $20,000 added Eastern Shore handicap today as Running Blaze from the Valley lake Stable carried off major boncrj and the Nevada Stock Farm's Hygro finished a close second. The finish was opposite from the way the majority of the crowd of 15.000 had figured it, but the rich sht-fur-long sprint over the sloppy racing strip was strictly a western affair. Hygro, winner of his last three races in sensational times before coming east, went to the post the 2 to 1 favorite, while Burning Blaze, which won the Post and Paddock stakes at Arlington Park but finished back of Hygro in the Joliet handicap, ruled second choice at 9 to 2. Although asked to pack top weight of 125 pounds Hygro set the pace and appeared to have the race well hand ON SLATE THURSDAY I i i This big, good-natured fellow Is just before getting angry in an effort to win one of the tackle berths at Auburn. Arthur is a Junior and while he did not share in the festivi- ties at the Bowl Friday night he should have learned something by watching Capt.

Townsend of Birmingham-Southern and Co-Captain Bush of Auburn, Holdcroft also played an aggressive tackle during the time he was in the game against the Panthers. Holmes and Prim were not op to the standard but these boys are sure to get going before the Wisconsin game.

But the referee called him back and put the ball in p'ay on Tulane's 45-yard line where he ruled the runner had gone out of bounds. Coach Ed Walker kicked vigorously but the ruling stood.

Zimmerman kicked goaL In the first minute of the fourth quarter Zimmerman threw a 25-yard pass to Dalrymple for a touchdown and Ole Mi's folded up.

But soon after Hodgins dived over for the fourth touchdown and in the last minute of piay as the spectator were leaving the stands, the fleet Hodgins got loose in mldfleld and raced for another and final touchdown. In the last quarter, the officials were unable to agree on the rule against Cunningham of Tulane clipping a Mississippi player and Coach Walker ran out on the field three times to voice protest.

The two elevens have met 18 times since 1894. Ole Miss has won two games and tied one during this period. Last year, Alabama's championship eleven smashed the Mississippi team by a 84 to 0 score. John Henry Buther, All-American halfback, returned a kick off 104 yards in the outstanding play of the contest. The Ole Miss team was expected to present more opposition against the Tldesmen and Bama's crushing power was an indication of the championship form they displayed later In the season.

Coach Frank Thomas Is looking for more competition from Ole Miss this Fall. The Delta Staters already have played two games. This experience should come In handy against the Crimsons, who have met only Howard. Coaches Ed Walker and Chuck Small-Ing, former stars under Pop Warner at Stanford, have developed one of the best teams Mississippi has had In years. The team has mora punch, while the boys work together much better.

Thomas is not going to let his Crimsons loaf when they meet Mississippi next Saturday. He Is to start his strongest lineup, with instructions to give Ole Miss everything they've got. KINCSEN VICTOR IN $11,800 RACE CHICAGO, Sept. 26. IP) Klncsen, a four-year-old mud-running filly owned by T.
