NEW YORK, Oct. 12 VP) The Louisiana State Tigets strayed from the jungles of the bayou country today, filled the Brooklyn air with passes and smothered a helpless Manhattan College eleven, 32 to 0. For the benefit of an audience of 20,000 fans, the Tigers led by Abe Mickal, No. 1 man of the colorful 1934 eleven, and big BUI Crass, the hard hitting -fullback from the plains of Texas, uncorked cne of the most brilliant overhead offensives the East has seen In years to run wild and score almost at will over the best Manhattan team In four years.

The Southerners counted in every period except the first and passes long, short, high and low accounted for all but one of the scores. To add to the gloom in Flatbush tonight, two of the visiting tallies were rolled up by the visiting third team, which galloped Into action at the start of the last quarter and carried on as effectively as the more seasoned performers on the first and second squads. When their running attack failed to click in the first period. Coach Oernie Moore ordered his Bengals into the atmosphere and they lingered there the rest of the afternoon They scored twice in the second, once in the third and twice in the fourth.

Point from try after touchdown: Mickal, Crass. BY ELMER G. SALTER AUBURN, Oct. 12. Pitted against the best in the Southeastern Conference for the third straight week, Coach Jack Meaghers Alabama's Poly Plainsmen will make their second and final appearance in Montgomery this year against Coach Chet Wynnes colorful Kentucky Wildcats at Cramton Bowl nextp6aturday.

The Tiger-Wildcat football battle is one of the out-striding clashes of the week and is Expected to attract the largest crow's ever to witness an athletic event in the Capital City. Accommodations are being made by Cramton Bowl officials to take care of a crowd of 15,000 when Auburn tackles Kentucky, a team coached by the Notre Dame alumnus who elevated the Tigers from the football jdepths in 1930 to top heights in 1932. The brilliant and crafty Wynne coached at the Plains four seasons before packing up and moving to Lexington, to become Kentuckys athletic chieftain. Montgomery's faithful football fans will have the opportunity of seeing a pair of the greatest backs in the country in Bert Johnson and Bob Davis when Auburn and Kentucky square off in a major conference scrap. Johnson, whom Coach Wynne describes as the greatest running back he has ever seen, is a 200-pound speed-merchant and can really carry the mail.

Davis is a sophomore who excelled Johnson in the Wildcats opening game of the year. There is a very little difference between the two they are mustangs on the warpath when their signal is called. A team accomplishes a miraculous feat when holding a Wynne-coached football machine scoreless. Wynne is one of Americas leading offensive instructors and the club that meets his charges is generally behind one or more touchdowns before the game begins. Ripley has a 'believe it not story when Wynns outfits fail to score.

The Tigers, who launched their 36 campaign with a 25-7 verdict over Birmingham-Southern in Montgomery, had scored in 28 consecutive contests when Wynne departed for Lexington. Led by Johnson, Kentucky handed Alabama Poly a 9-0 lacing in 1934 and the Tigers will work hard the next few days in a revengeful mood. The Bengals hope to avenge this loss and also will be striving to advance in their loop in Montgomery next Saturday. GOLF PLAY WON BY MRS. TRILCK Locals Lose Second Game To Wiregrass Rivals By 24-0 Score The Selma High Tigers returned Jlturday from Dothan, where on Friday night they tasted defeat for the second straight time this season in losing by a score of 24 to 0 to a scrappy Dothan team which was still smarting from a 6 to 0 upset at the hands of Opp.

Selma chose to kick and held Dothan for downs. Taking the ball on about the 30-yard line, Selma opened a series of power plays which were netting between four and eight yards a click but a fumble ended this march and put the game on an even basis once more. After playing a scoreless first quarter, Dothan came back strong in the second frame to score the first of four touchdowns, all oL. which resulted from passes. The first score came from a long pass from Thrower, veteran Dothan back, to a fleet end who later-eled the ball to a teammate.

The play was stopped on about the one-yard-line. After two trys, Dothan bucked the ball over for a touchdown. The kick for placement was blocked. The half ended several plays after this. The Selma line came back in the second half with a great spirit and outfought the Dothan linemen throughout thq Tiger backs seemed helpless on defense as Dothan threw three more passes and completed each.

All trials for extra points were missed, Selma opened an air attack in the second half, also, but the ends were unable to get pass the Wlrq-grass backs. Hobbie, Mason and McCarty did some speedy stepping and some hard driving but were boxed up by the Dothan defense. The line looked better than it did all season and played as a unit. Dothan found this out soon enough and took to the air. The game ended Selma 0, Dothan 24.

Selma will go to Ramer next Minnesota Defeats Cornhusker Eleven BY KENNETH GREGORY Associated Press Sports Writer LEGION FIELD, BIRMINGHAM, Oct. 12rW Tennes sees Volunteers rose from the ranks of the underdog to sweep back into championship contention in the Southeastern Conference to day with an impressive 13 to 6 triumph over the Plainsmen of Au burn. Favored in the betting because ot its early season triumph over Tulane, Auburn battled gamely but succumbed to an aroused Tennessee attack that rushed over pair of touchdowns in the third period for a commanding lead. The Tigers from the Alabama plains, playing before an enthusiastic audience of 15,716 spectators, most of them native fans cheering lor an Auburn triumph to add to the prestige gained by the Tulane upset, saw an aroused Tennessee team, smarting under a week-old setback of 25 points by North Carolina, drive to a close victory. Tigers Stage Rally In the face of impending defeat, Auburns Tigers rallied spectacularly to outplay Tennessee in the final period, running up seven first downs to two by the Vols and driving across for a touchdown with only a minute to play.

Trailing 13 to 0 and fighting a terrific uphill battle, the Plains men, capitalised on a slugging penalty that removed Eugene Rose, Tennessees veteran end Who scored both Volunteer touchdowns, from the game. With the clock ticking off the fading seconds, Au burn scored as Billy Hitchcock fired a slanting pa'ss to Joe Kilgore on the 3-yard line and the Tiger fullback stepped over the goal. Throughout the first half the play was about even, with Tenn essee driving to within scoring distance twice but losing the punch as Auburn's line held. The first down for the half told that part of the story, Tennessee having six and Auburn five. Taking advantage of a rebound of an Auburn punt that landed on the 27-yard line and rolled backward to the 19, Tennessee marched to its first touchdown.

Phantom Phil Dickens, Tennessee halfback, advanced the ball to first down on the Tigers seven on three plays and on fourth down fired a beautiful pass to Rose just inside the end zone for a touchdown. Dickens' placekick was blocked. Less than two minutes later, the ever-alert Rose caught a fumble by Bunny ORourke, Auburn fullback, when it bounded into the air, and out-sprinted the Tiger secondary 44 yards to the goal. Frank Ditmore, substitute end, added the extra point from placement. How Auburn Scored After a series of passes by both elevens, Ward Eastman, Tennessee substitute quarterback, intercepted an Auburn pass on his own 10-yard line.

Failing to gain, Sophomore Red Harp kicked to the Tigers on Tennessees 44, where Rose was ejected from the game for slugging Sam McCroskey, Auburn getting the ball on Tennessee's 20 through the penalty. On the third play, Billy Hitchcock dropped back and fired a short pass to Kilgore, who eluded three tacklers to the goal line standing up for Auburns score. Haygood Paterson missed the try for the extra point. The game ended with Tennessee in possession of the ball on Auburn's 22-yard line, following an exchange of punts. The duel was fought mostly in midfield and fqiled to furnish spectators with expected thrills.

() Mrs. Roderick Trilck, Birmingham, won the seventh annual Alabama Golf Association championship here today by outlasting a rally on the final nine by Mrs. F. Taylor Peck. Mobile, to win the finals match, 2 and 1.

-Mrs. Trilck succeeds M's. Carl Liebold of Birmingham, one of her victims during the tournament. A sizzling 42 on the out nine, which might have been several strokes lower but for putting lapses, gave the winner a four up advantage over Mrs. Peck, but she needed most of that Margin on the home nine as her opponent steadied and Mrs.

Trucks putter continued its misbehavior. Mrs. Trilck finished with 42-46 88, better than the medalists score and ample to take care of Mrs. Peck's 50-44. Her four-hole lead was cut to two, however, as she lost the first two holes on the back nine.

A win at the 13th, however, made it apparent that victory was only a matter of time. Mrs. Peck came back to win the 14th, but halves at the next three ended the contest. Mrs. Trilck was one of the tournament favorites throughout, but her victory over Mrs.

Liebold In the semi-finals yesterday was a mild upset. BY T. M. DAVENPORT Associated Press Staff Writer DENNY STADIUM, A-LOOSA, Oct, 12 (iP) Quick accurate aerial thrusts, coming as a surprise attack, brought realization today to a 20-year-dream of a scrappy Mississippi State football team. The maroon-ciad warriors of Major Ralph Basse, genial pilot of Mississippi State, rolled relentlessly over the Crimson Tide, 20 to 7.: this afternoon, leavlhg stunned a horde of Alaoema spectators who clamored for victory.

The sheer daring of the first State thrust stunned the stands. Only one exchange of punts and the maroon march began. Armstrong and Pickle paired in carrying the ball into Crimson territory end the former tossed the pass to Galatka for 12 yards, catching the Crimson secondary flat-footed.

Then the Maroons, on a triple pass, Thames to Armstrong to Pickle scored as the latter took the ball on Alabamas nine on the run and crossed the goal line standing up. Armstrong converted. State Gambles State gambled for victory, gambled with sheer daring and lour plays after the kickoff scored another touchdown. Stapp fumbled cn his own 35, and State recovered. Two plays later, a backward pass, Steadman to Armstrong, was completed and Thames raced across the field to take it and sped across the goal line.

Armstrongs placement for conversion was low. Then Alabama rallied, but a penalty may have been the turning point. Young Boozer, the Dothan dervish, had replaced Angelich for the Crimsons. Riley, sub for Stapp, faded back and flipped a 10 jard pass to Boozer, his fellow townsman. Boozer shook off two tacklers and sold out 40 yards to the goal line.

A clipping penalty nullified the attempt. The Crimsons drove back, but Harbison, sub for Thames, nipped the drive by. intercepting a pass. Then Pickle punted 64 yards dead tp the Alabama one yard line. Riley Smith punted out and Hight, sub for Armstrong, signalled for a fair catch on Alabamas 34.

Pickle Goes Over Two passes put the ball on the Crimson six, and Pickle went over for a touchdown after two line smashes put the ball on the Crimson two yard stripe. Pickl converted. Later as Pickle dropped baek'to kick from his eight, big Jim Whatley, Alabama tackle, playing one of his best games, broke through to block the kick. Hillmfin Walk-gr, sub for Bryant, picked up the ball and ran across the goal line. The scoring was over as State nursed ite lead.

Alabama tried, desperately to overcome the advantage. Near the end of the game, Ward, sub for Pickle, reached Into the air deep in Alabama territory to snare a pass from Riley and raced 25 yards across the goal line, but an over-anxious linesman was offside and the play was called back, State taking a five yard penalty. State registered nine first down to Alabama seven and ngdg a total yardage gain of 321 to 198, including punt and kickoff returns. States running plays from scrimmage totalled 213, to 118 for Alabama with 98 yards from passes and only 80 for Alabama. The lineups: ALABAMA POS.

(TP) Kentuckys Wildcats wrecked Georgia Tech's rambling Yellow Jackets on Stoll Field here this afternoon by the score of 2 5 to 6 and served notice on Southeastern Conference football championship aspirants that the Blue Grass squad must be reckoned with. The score was made more impressive by the fact that the Wildcats played without the services of their stellar halfback and all-American candidate, Bert Johnson who is laid up with a leg ailment, Johnsons absence from the lineup was overcome in part by the brilliant performance of Halfback Bqb Davis, who scored three of Kentuckys four touchdowns and wore the visitors out by his broken-field running.
