Bird passed to Dudley Pillow, his big right end, for the first LSU score, made the second one inevitable with a 28-yard toss to Fulkerson to put the ball on the Auburn one, and then scored third one himself, after an Auburn fumble had been recovered just a foot away from pay, dirt.

He brought a subsequent McGowen punt back to the Auburn 40, passed to Jenkins for first down on the 24, and three plays later, sent the scoring toss to Pillow. One of eight Auburn fumbles halted a promising Plainsman drive in the third period, and started LSU to victory.

Lipkis fell on the ball on his 47. Bird got 5 and Weaver 15. Bird picked up four more in two tries, and shot a pass down to Fulkerson, standing on Auburn's 10. Fulkerson was slammed out of bounds by McGowen yard away from the goal line. Gorinski took it over.

Auburn came back with another touchdown, marching 65 yards on passes and running plays. The scoring play started with McMahan. reserve quarterback, running to his left. Just as he seemed about to go down under a mass of tacklers, he tossed a short pass to McGowen, who ran the remaining 15 yards to score. McGowen's placement for extra point went to the left of the posts.

The final score resulted from another miscue. With the ball on the Tiger 11, the pass from center got by McGowen and Fulkerson fell on it at the one-foot line. Bird scored on the second play. Auburn strove desperately to get back into the game, with Bill Yearout tossing long passes, but the Plainsmen still in their own territory. Besides Bird, the LSU standouts were Gianelloni at guard and Fulkerson: Ty Irby, sophomore fullback starting his first game, was Auburn's leading ground gainer, picking up 50 yards in a dozen stabs at the line.

Decatur's elusive backs, Self and Francis, were often stopped for no gains, and even losses, and Sherman, the man who scored the touchdown here, found the Crimson wall almost impregnable.

Tackles Rowan and Moeller, Wilson and Hopper at guards, and Taylor and Huffman at ends had the goods Friday night, as did Daye at center. Callahan, Markham and Kimbrell stood out like sore thumbs for Decatur's line, with Todd and Self providing most of the fireworks in the backfield. Huntsville's Wendall Payne was the spark of the Crimson offense, but he had able assistance from Wikle, Smith and Varin.

The hopes of the fighting Irish for their first perfect season in a decade foundered on their own mistakes, the inspired play of the Iowans, who had lost four and, games in a row. using only 15 men in the entire, thrust game, until the staved final off every period, when their opportunity came. tre Dame, early in the fourth, drove to the Hawks' one-yard line, but the much-defeated underdogs held and took the ball on downs.

Jim Youell punted out and the Irish roared back to the 10-yard line. At this point, Captain Milt Piepul fumbled and Iowa's captain, Mike Enich, snatched the ball in mid-air and ran 36 yards to the Iowa 46. The aroused Irish stopped the attack and Youell punted to the Irish 25. Al Couppee intercepted Bob Saggau's on the first play, and returned eight yards to the 23. The Hawks drove to the 17 and Bill Gallagher tried a field goal from the 25, but his boot was wide of the uprights.

The luckless Irish from their own 20, but again on the first play little Bagarus fumbled and Ken Pettit recovered on the Notre Dame 24. Big Bill Green roared through the Irish for 22 yards in two plays, Gallasher, Green added one smashed at over center, right and guard for the touchdown. Gallagher placekicked the point. Saggau returned the subsequent kickoff 23 yards to the Irish 35. With four minutes to play, Saggau began passing.

firsta toss missed Bob Hargrave the second was intercepted by George Frye, who returned eight yards to the Notre Dame 34. Green and Gallagher alternated in banging away at the line, driving to the six as the game ended. The Hawks, previous to their scoring outburst, had not advanced beyond the Notre Dame 35, apparently having little semblance of either a running or passing attack. The Irish, likewise, were not too impressive except in spurts. victory was Iowa's third over Notre Dame in as many games between the two teams, and on each occasion the Irish approached the game undefeated.

The last time Notre Dame was shut out was in 1938, when it was defeated, 13 to 0, by Southern California.

The team Clark Shaughnessy coached from the coast conference celler to undisputed leadership in one season, assured itself of nothing less than a tie for the title. One game remains to be played, against California.

six conference wins to its credit, Stanford can do no worse than an even finish with Washington, with still two games And inasmuch as the round table Indians already have vanquished Washington 20-10, there was not much more left than the shouting. The assumption on all sides today was that the balloting of ten conference members, who vote on the Western representative for the Rose Bowl, would be a mere formality. As was the case in victories against Southern California and Washington, the unstoppable Stanford boys put on another stunning rally to conquer one of their toughest. opponents. The score was tied, 7-7, as they came out for the third period.

With a period of nine minutes, Shaughnessy's gridiron magicians had crashed over with three touchdowns and margin that made most of the 35,000 fans rooting for them relax in relief. Cheers filled the air as the Indians smashed 50 yards to break the deadlock; pounded 33 yards after recovering a fumble, hit the turf on a 61-yard thrust after an intercepted pass. Oregon State outscored, but still full of fight, came back in the last quarter to capitalize on a Stanford fumble and move 19 yards for a touchdown. For a short time thereafter, the northerners were still in the running. They passed and smashed 70 yards to Stanford's 11-yard marker, then lost the oval on an intercepted pass.

Coach Bill Alexander said all of his men "played a great perfect blocking. He raced the full 93 yards without a hand laid on him and George Hecht kicked the point. A masterful piece of punt blocking by Alabama's alert end, Holt Rast, set the Crimson Tide up for its winning points.

Rast darted in fast to block Hawk Cavette's kick and it rolled out at the 29. Alabama's lone pass of 13 yards helped to the Tech two, and Fullback Paul Spencer rammed it over in four tries. Deshane's point after provided the victory margin.

The bruising battle, in which South Carolina suffered several costly penalties unnecessary roughness, was followed by fist fights as several hundred youthful spectators swarmed onto the gridiron and furnished an exciting aftermath that continued fully 30 minutes before police and others quelled the disturbance.

Casualties in the unscheduled skirmish were less severe than some of the broken noses and other injuries suffered by players of both teams in the rough and tumble game which prompted Furman's Coach Dizzy McLeod to say tonight: "If football is reverting to boxing tactics, we'll have to adopt the old-fashioned policy of equipping players with nose guards."

The light Georgians opened up the big Tulane line for Kenneth Keuper and other backs to sift through for substantial gains.

The coaches must have told the Greenies plenty during the half, for they came back with an inspired offense and a nearly perfect defense. Georgia looked unbeatable on a 47-yard drive -for its first score. Keuper's 20-yard smash through center and Frank Sinkwich's passes did the damage, and Sinkwich tossed to Poschner on fourth down for the score.

The lead didn't last long, however, for Lamar Davis, Georgia's shifty right half, Roman Bentz' high kickoff on his 3-yard line, followed beautiful interference and outran Tulane's fastest backs for a touchdown. Costa went in and made the placekick good. After a long Tulane drive had fallen short, Bubber Ely, sophomore halfback playing with a broken thumb, returned a punt to Georgia's 30 and started throwing passes to set up a touchdown on the five. Fred Gloden, sub fullback, went over in three plays and Lou Thomas plackicked the point to put Tulane ahead 14-13.

The Wave stopped furious Georgia passing attack, took the ball on a punt on the Tulane 23, and drove to its last touchdown in six plays. Thomas' 30-yard end run featured the drive which ended when Fred Cassibry, sub right halfback, went five yards over left tackle for a touchdown. Cassibry placekicked the extra point. Tulane gained 228 yards rushing to Georgia's 122, led 18 to 11 in first downs, and got 76 yards to the Bulldogs' 114 on passes.

Jim (Sweet) Lalanne off the fireworks with a 10-yard line slice from his 25, and a 75- yard scoring drive was under way after that initial first down. Lalanne was the spearhead of the attack, and it was a 10-yard flip by him to Joe Austin, which tallied the touchdown.

Paul Severin, who once saved the contest with a never-say-die chase and tackle of Steve Lach, failed to convert from placement, but the six points got bigger and bigger and finally stood up. Duke tallied its three points late in the second quarter when Tony Ruffa booted a field goal from placement, with the ball held at the 21-vard line. Ruffa had failed on previous field goal attempt early in the opening quarter, the ball being kicked from the 25. By periods: Duke 0 3 0 0-3 N. C.

Little Sewanee Whips Generals Two Touchdowns Scored In Last 85 Seconds Of Fierce Game CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 16 (AP) A fighting band of Sewanee Tigers capitalized on the breaks today to defeat the Generals of Washington and Lee, 25 to 13, with two touchdowns chalked up in the last 85 seconds of play. The victory was the first major conquest of the season for the Tigers, and also went into the records as a triumph of Southeastern Conference over the Southern. The statistical chart favored the conquered Generals. They had the edge in first downs, 14 to 5 and in yards gained from scrimmage, 229 to 62.

The Tigers led in yards by passing, 86 to 23, but earned the victory through headsup football. Sewanee scored first mid-way the initial period when they took ball on General's 41 on a punt. Little Henry Sandifer, 152- pound back who sparked the entire attack, tossed to Walker who took the ball on the six and stepped across the double stripes. Bearden's attempt at placement was short. A sustained ground attack, good for 72 yards with first downs, scored for the Generals in the second period.

Pinch and Kadis led the march, climaxed when Hogan went over center the three. Sewanee blocked from, placement. The Tigers launched the victory offensive late in the fourth period. Bearden pitched 29 yards to Walker who was downed on the Generals' 25. A running play set the stage for another pass, Bearden to Dunn, to put the ball on the four from, where Macon scored with 85 seconds to play.

The fourth Sewanee touchdown followed the General's desperate effort to tie the score. They lost 25 yards as the passer was rushed in four attemps, the final effort falling in the hands of an ineligible man to give the Tigers possession on the one-foot line. Bearden crashed the line for the score. Score by periods: Wash. Lee 0 6 7 0-13 Sewanee 6 0 7 12-25 Passes in the Pyrenees mountains are extremely dangerous because of the winds.
