Tlie Owls, blurbed as the sweetest aggregation in the Southwest, have been about as impressive as Slippery Rock and while the long trek out will weaken the Tigers, the game should be little more titan a warm up for Skipper Meaghers charges. But thats what makes this football season so daffy. WORCESTER, Oct. 22 (IP) Holy Cross rebounding Crusaders unleashed a devastating offense today and crushed a big, unbeaten University of Georgia eleven, 29 to 6, In an lntersectlonal football war before 24,000 spectators. Although Bill Osmanski, their great full back, and regular Quarter Back Henry Ouellette, both Injured, were forced to watch the game from the sidelines the Crusaders showed a new ball carrying quartet which had speed, power and precision and romped to touchdowns In each of the four periods.

Iloly Cross Gets Safety After End Bill Isten started, the scoring by blocking Harry Stevens' early punt for an automatic safety, the Crusaders roared 45 yards to their first touchdown. A 23 yard pass from Ronnie Cahill to Jack Reardon started the drive and thefr Arlgo Latanzi and Gus Gerastlmas took turns in lugging the ball up to the one. Walewskl, big taekle, fellon the ball for the touchdown after Geraslmas had fumbled. Dogs Tally Georgia Immediately countered with a 50 yard march for its score, produced by the Hard Plunging Jimmy Fordham on a fourth down rush from the one foot line early in the second quarter after his powerful running and a long pass from Stevens to Gillespie had placed the Bulldogs In position.

Thomas Histon LE Badgett Walewskl LT Hodgson Bogdan LG Lumpkin Titus Johnson Turner RG Decharleroy Delaney RT Gillespie, Reardon II BULL LEA COPS IN TRACK EVENT Steps will be taken this week by oelma High alumni to doctor the xootha.ll situation at the Tiger school. Nothing definite has been suggested, only that interested business men meet and discuss the problem of giving local fans the brand of ball they want and deserve. Tiler? are several promising developments, which if put through, will serve to brighten the picture, eoiue the 39 grid campaign. The loss to Anniston Friday night brought the pressure to bear and you can tab the results as most interesting. The professor unbuttoned his pencil yesterday and jotted down what he figgers will be the four major undefeated football teams in the nation following the Thanksgiving Day contests late in November.

Henry is of the opinion that Pittsburgh will go the route in the East. Jock Sutherlands fine array of backs give the Panthers a ball carrying and blocking unit unheralded in years and this season the Fordham Rams won't even hold the powerhouse to a tie. Down South, Tennessees vaunted Vols look like the best bet. True, Duke is still in the running, but they have yet to face the aforementioned Pitt aggregation and Wallace Wade hardly has the material with which to side track the Pantiiers. On the Coast, Its Santa Clara's Broncs.

Buck Shaw's still dealing the western lads a fit with his powerful running attacks and timely aerials and the Prof figgers little on their being toppled from the undefeated class. In the Midwest, Beupie Bier-man continues to mold great Minnesota football teams and again this year your agent picks the Gophers to rank among the nations toppers. Therell be hundreds of others to lay claim to spotless records, but you can wager your weeks earnings that Pitt, Minnesota, Santa Clara, and Tennessee will rate one, two, three, four when the final roll is called? Win Is Second Of Year For Outstanding Three-Year Old Race Entry TUSCALOOSA, Oct. 22. (IP) A gallant band of Sewanee Tigers failed in their role of giant-killers today as Alabama overwhelmed them, 32 to 0, but their game first-half fight won them the plaudits of a partisan Alabama crowd of 5,000.

It was late in the third period before Alabama, upset 13-0 Iasi week by Tennessee, could generatt enough power to put across a second score, but the touchdowns came rapidly in the closing minutes- as Sewanee's obviously tired eleven came to pieces. A missed signal cost Alabama a fine scoring opportunity early in the second period, and a holding penalty nullified a 51-yard jaunt across the goal line by Pig Davis in the third, but- otherwise a stout Sewanee line was the chief factor in holding down the score. If Alabama had an offensive star, it was Charley Boswell, substitute left halfback, who ran for two pass to Tut Warren for another, pass to Tut Waren for another. Three Tide fullbacks, Charley Holm, Pig Davis and Dal Wicke, also looked good in the ball-carrying department. Sewanees attack was virtually non existent, although Cochrane completed several passes, to teammates and once got his team beyond midfield by this method, gaining 49 yards for Sewanees two first downs.

Alabama made 18 first downs, gaining 349 yards running, and 45 passing. The lineups and summary: Alabama Pos. Sewanee Gorrito Fowlkes Left End F.

Oct 2.2 (JP) In a breath-taking struggle that developed into an Individual battle between Johnny Plngel and Wilmeth Sidat-SIngh, Michigan State's Spartans downed Syracuse 13 to 12 here today to topple the Orange frofh the ranks of the nations undefeated college football elevens. Plngel, Michigan States veteran halfback, and Sidat-SIngh, Syracuse's star aerial artist, either had a part In or set up all the touchdowns.

Sldat-Singh was the better passer today, completing four of 12 tosses for 121 yards but Pingel was the superior runner as he averaged better than six yards a crack In gaining 115 yards In 19 tries. A tricky 33 mile an hour wind that swept the length of the field, placed one team at a distinct disadvantage in each period. In the spring. Rice looked like a sure-fire winner and then came Lain with thirty pounds of heft he didn't need and Oklahoma, L. S.

and Tulane rifled the Owls out of the picture with consecutive defeats. They should have- bounced back against Texas and at the time of writing this agent figgers so, but that still doesn't make 'em a threat to the Plainsmen. Then, from Houston the Auburn-ites jump to Philadelphia for the clash with Villa Nova. Its a long train ride thatll carry the Meagher team to rolling Texas and then to Philly. Play ball for Auburn and see the country.

SOUTHERN BOWS TO LYNX SQUAD BY ESCAR THOMPSON KNOXVILLE, Oct. 22 (A) The University of Tennessees undefeated powerhouse toyed with The Citadel today to win a listless football game 44 to 0 before 8,000 spectators. Major Bob Neyland used his varsity about five minutes In the second quarter and apparently deriding they hadnt worked up a good sweat, kept his first and second string elevens out on the field for a signal drill long after the smoke of the battle had cleared. The Vols got off to a slow start, but once they hit their stride, they ran the Cadets ragged. Only one touchdown was registered In the first quarter, Fullback Joe Wallen plunging-over after a march from The Cltadels 40-yard stripe.

At the stapt of the second period Tennessees great George Cafego and the varsity took the field and scored In four plays from the Cadets 35. Cafego In his first run reeled off 19, Fullback Leonard Coffman carried It to the seven-yard line in two smashes and Halfback Bob Foxx romped over on a reverse. Three More Three more scores followed In rapid order, Foxx galloping 12 yards on another reverse for the third, Quarterback Bob Sneed passing 16 yards to Halfback Pryon Bacon In the end zone for the fourth and the fifth coming just before the half ended when third-string Fullback Bob Broome rammed center for a yard. The hapless Cadeta held Tennessee scoreless In the third period but only after the Vols had a touchdown nullified by a penalty. Tennessee added 10 more points in the final period, Sneed slicing off tackle for 21 yards for the last touchdown.

Capt. Bowden Wyatt booted a field goal from the Cadets 8-yard line. The Citadel tried 23 passes in a vain attempt to score. Only twice did the Cadets manage to move the ball Into Tennessee territory. Their farthest drive carried to the Vols' 38.

Tennessee rushed the ball 311 yards to. 45 for the Cadets and rolled up 14 first downs against six. The lineups: The Citadel Pos.

Put A way Six Months Salary BATON ROUGE, Oct. 22 A brilliant touchdown drive from near midfield gave Louisiana State a spectacular 7 to victory tonight over previously unbeaten Vanderbilt. The touchdown broke an impasse between two of the souths strongest grid machines in a game that threatened to end scoreless. Victory for L. S.

U. meant revenge for the trick "hidden ball play that spelled defeat for the Bayou Tigers last year at Nashville. Vandy tried the same trick play again tonight, but the battling Tigers, not to be fooled again smothered it. Scores In Final The winning1 touchdown came with only six minutes left to play. A combination of L.

S. U.s two alternate teams was In the game. Ashford Simes, sophomore hafT-back, began the drive from the Commodore 46-yard line, unleashing a 14-yard pass to Charlie Erd-man, another Sophomore back. Jake Staples squat veteran fullback, hit the line for eight more yards, and then Simes rifled an aerial to Ken Kavanaugh, Tiger end, for nine to the Vandy 15yard stripe and a first down.

Milner Converts Guy (Cotton) Milner, whose skillful toe broke up the Rice game two weeks ago with a field goal, booted the extra pofnt squarely over the crossbar. Except for the sensational Tiger touchdown drive Vanderbilt clearly had the edge in the offensive play. Only once before, in the third period, had L. S. U.

been able even to penetrate Y'anderbllt territory. The story of the game coul i be seen in the tabulation of first downs, a dozen for Vanderbilt and only four for L. S. U. Vandys sensational attack threatened to score almost every play but perusal of the record showed the Commodores penetrated only as far as L.
