Nov, The Crimson Tide, of Alabama, outplayed most, of the way by Giorgia Tech, ovei hauled the Engineers, 7 to 0, today with a whirlwind finish bclore close to 20,000 spectators.

The closely-won decision, coming on a 43-yard drive with a little moie than four minutes to play remaining, left only the Thanksgiving Day encounter with Vanderbilt bctw'een Alabama and the Southeastern Conference championship. TECH MAKES THREATS Georgia Tech, playing an inspired battle under the leadership of Captuin Fletcher Sims, twice threatened the Crimson goal in the second period, once on a drive to the one-foot line, where many believed the Jackets scored despite an adverse ruling. Captain Joe Kilgrow set the stage for Alabama's winning touchdown after the Tide had advanced to the Georgia Tech 31. The Alabama field general went through tackle, reversed the field and raced 28 yaids bcfoie being run out of bounds on the three-yard stripe by Dutch Konemann, Line thrusts netted one yard, but on fourth down Kilgrow rifled a pass over center to End Tut Warren who caught it barely a yard over the goal. Aided by the wondprful place-punting of Sims, Georgia Tech had tire upper hand throughout the first three periods, Only bnce in that distance did the Tide Uneaten and then it was checked at the 17, RULING HURTS ENGINEERS In its most serious threat, starting at its 47, Georgia Tech drove to the goal.

Sims tossed a 30-yard pass to Konemann, who made a fine catch at the Tide 22. Then the Tech captain heaved a pass to Jones, who stumblfd and fell ight on the goal. It looked as if had scored but the officials he Veteran football fans in the district like to hark back to the days when the Pilt-Pcnn State game annually was the Thanksgiving Day feature at F'orbes Field and the big game of the season for the Panthers. Pitt came along so rapidly with the advent of Pop Warner as coach here that the Nittany Lions were unable to furnish them the necessary opposition and the game deteriorated and was dropped. Now it is back, but not in its old glamorous spot.

The Lions have played some spectacular football for Coach Bob Higgins this season, featuring a group of light, fast backs, and figure to put on an interesting show against the locals. Hob Higgins' Pass Play Recalled Pitt and State have met on the gridiron 36 times, and of these games State has won only 12 and tied two. The Centre Countians last defeated a Pitt team back in 1919, when Hugo Bezdek was their coach, in the famous game in which Higgins caught a forward pass from behind his goal line and raced more than 75 yards for the first touchdown at the very start, Pitt never recovering from the shock. However, in 1930, the score was only 19-12, and in 1935 it was a mere 9-0 in Pitt's favor. Scoreless ties were played In 1920 and 21.

The scries record: away. But a straying troop of invaders had asked a young stable boy for directions and the youth realized immediately what was impending. He mounted a horse and, by a short cut, arrived at the palace a few minutes ahead of the invaders.

Hot mb tv Brown), HANOVER, V. Nov, 13. (AP.) The notorious jinx that haunts Dartmouth football teams, in a numeralogiral guise this season, caught with the undefeated Indians again today and Cornell's powerful forces held them to a 6-6 deadlock before a rain-soaked and overflow crowd of 15,000. Two weeks ago the Indians went to the Yale Bowl with high hopes of winning their third straight victory over the Elis in the twenty-first renewal of that Ivy College series but the; left with a 9-9 tie. The setup was exactly the same today, for the Indians had plaved 20 previous games with Big Red teams and had won the last two.

TEAMS PLAY CAUTIOUSLY As one squally shower swiftlv followed another, the evenly matched Indians and Ithacans played cautiously, attempting to force a break. One finally came Cornell's wav in the third period, when Sid Roth, the 200-pound guard from Brooklyn, smothered Bob MacLeod's fumble on Dartmouth's 33-yard line. Tiie Ithacans grasped their opportunity tightly and started rolling. Whit Baker, right halfback, crashed twice to Dartmouths 17 a.s the period ended. Starting the last period Baker completed the first aerial of the game, a five-yard flip over the line, to Vinny Eichler, his quarterback, who Green Statistics Comrlt.

That reversal inspired the Indians to supreme heights. Fred Hollingworth raced back Rose's kickoff 20 yards to Dartmouth's 40 and 10 plays later. Colby Howe faked a reverse on Cornell's two-yard line before skirting his left end entering Cornell's end zone untouched to register the tielng points.

The longest gain in that furious 60-yard scmoring march was the game's second completed pass, a Hollingworth MacLeod toss that wiped out 24 yards. The rest of the yardage resulted from the short but bruising slams Howe and MacLeod made through Cornells stonewall line, PLACEMENT MISSED There were six minutes remaining when Phil Dastal, the Dartmouth placeklck specialist, came in to try for the seventh point, but the gridiron was so treacherous that even he couldnt produce. Three minutes were used up when Cornell tried to rush from its 20 after Dostal kicked off into its end zone. Finally the eager Indians took a punt in midfield and started another furious drive, agalns ttime as well as Cornell. I As they pounded 33 yards In leight plays, to Cornell's 17.

Aliquippa Wallops Butler in Finale ALIQUIPPA. Pa Nov.

13. Aliquippa High School's grid machine completed an indifferent season here this afternoon with an impressive 26 to 0 victory over Butler. Capt. Bill Smaltz. hardhitting fullback, led Aiiquippa's attack with two touchdowns and two extra points all on line bucks.

Butler got off to a good start when they earned the ball from their own 47 to the Aliquippa 27 after receiving the opening kickoff. The home team held for downs at this point and then marched down the field for the first touchdown. Line bucks and reverses, enabled the home team to pile up an overwhelming advantage ln ground gaining. Aliquippa scored in every period but the second and registered 18 first downs to four.

NEW YORK. Nov. 13. (AP.) In a setting of thick, gooey mud and an almost continual downpour 6f rain, Georgetown Universitys football Hoyas won a comedy of errors from New Yoik University, 6 to 0, today before 8,000 fans who huddled in the Polo Grounds.

Rabbit Wear to Harry Harrison, Penn States midget back, A couple of crack mud horses, gave the Nittany Lions a 21-14 victory over Maryland in the final 45 seconds of play before a thrilled crowd of 11,000 here today.

Making their final appearanee of the season, the Tartans will be able to shoot the works in the hope of beating their strong Eastern opponent. Marquette's stock has slumped considerably since last year, when It was shooting for Rose Bowl consideration right up to the time it bowed before the Dukes here. Marquette has lost its great forward passer, Ray Bulvid, and the Guepe brothers, backs, by graduation and also has a new coach in Paddy Driscoll, who has succeeded Frank Murray.

The Dukes should have little or no difficulty adding the Milwaukeeans to their list of victims, despite their defeats by Carnegie Tech and Texas Tech their last two times out. The Dukes game with Detroit promises to be a battle, but the Bluffites rate well over Mississippi State, their Orange Bowl victim of last New Years Day, in their Pitt will have a tussle with Duke on the latters field, but. of course, will be In the spot of the favorite again, especially after Duke's defeat of yesterday. Winning Streaks Impose Severe Strain Some Idea of the strain under which Carl Hubbell toiled as he strove to Increase his winning streak as a pitcher during the past season may be gained from the reaction that set In on the Western Reserve University football players, of Cleveland, after they suffered their first defeat In 29 games recently at the hands of Dayton University, which lost the following week to Toledo. The Reserve players returned to Cleveland on the same train with Case, which had played a 13-13 tie with Miami, of Ohio.

The Case players were downcast and glum, the Reserve players actually happy and rare- free, as if a burden had been lifted from their shoulders and minds. The letdown continued through the following week. 1 end, when they lost to Syracuse, 27 to 6. As one of the membeis of the team said: "If our inning streak had to end, I'm glad It happrnrd against Dayton and not against Syracuse, for then people wquld have said we were hot stuff against small-time teams, but couldn't stand the gaff against big league opposition. It Is strange but true that when a winning streak ends for an Individual or a team it generally ends with a loud bang, the champion cracking wide open.

This is what happened to Pop Warner's Pitt team against Syracuse in 1919 after almost four seasons without a defeat. The score that afternoon was 24-3 in favor of the Orange, with Pitt having entered the game the favorite. Western Reserve crashed, 18-6. The trouble with winning streaks Is that they put the constant under severe mental pressure. Always It is a matter of having to win the next one.

Contests cease to be Just that and become numerals instead. It's a case of win No. 19, then No. 20, then No. 21, and so on until finally comes the feared moment when the streak snaps, and things happily go back to normal.

Pitchers Now Extended to Win 20 Games What has become of the good old-fashioned pitcher who used set his goal at 30 victories, or even 25, In a season? He's gone, defunct, extinct. At least tiie records for the past lesson In the major leagues would indicate as much. Only two pitchers in the American League, both with the champion New York Yankees, won 20 nr more games, Vernon Gomes, who snared 21, and Red Ruffing, who annexed exactly 20. In the National League there were only four, Carl llubheil and Jim Melton, of the Giants, with 22 and 20, respectively, and Jim Turner and Lou Eette, of the Bees, who won 20 each In their first year In the big show. Biggest pitching bust of the year was Dizzy Dean, who slipped from 24 victories and 13 defeats In 1936 to 13 and 10.

In the American League, Mel Harder and Tommy Bridges, of the Indians and Tigers, dropped from the 20-game winning class to equal records of IS wins and 12 defeats, while Vernon Kennedy, former Pirate with the White Sox, who won 21 Ramos last year, finished with 14 wins and Mikulka apparently lapsed into a day dream Just as a Geoigetown punt came sailing in his direction. The ball skidded off his knees and rolled toward tiie Violet goal, but Mikulka made no effort to chase it as Bob Snyder, Georgetown left end. dropped on it on the three-yard line. Mellendirk then elected to buck Hie line, but was hit as he came charging through and tne ball bounced out of his arms and into the end zone.
