Ray Morrison's conception of football is to befuddle the opposition. He places emphasis on outguessing the other team. Ray Morrison is the daddy of the aerial circus, a daring style of passing. Practically every coach In the Southwest Conference has gone in for Morrisons aerial display.

The Texas circuit likes to throw and catch em. Coachea look for pitchers and catchers first in searching for gridiron prospects. Ray Morrison uses a lot of formations to keep the defense crossed up. He has been using six formations this Fall and the Commodores' total yardage, a little more than 2,500 yards shows the formations eat up space. The Commodores attack is built around little Jimmy Huggins, who rifles passes to Dick Plasman.

Sam Agee, Wesley Watson, Preacher Franklin and Joe Agee. And this same passing Jimmy Huggins is one of the niftiest backs in the Southeastern in defending against long passes. He gets around like a ghost. Ray Mofrison uses a lot of unusual defensive formations. He helped to introduce the five-man line with the 3-2-1 setup back of the line of scrimmage.

The Commodores pulled the 5-3-2-1 on Alabama last and it gummed the works for the Crimson ball carriers. It was all new stuff to them. The Vanderbilts will start out on defense with a switch to a 5-3-2-1 and then finish up with a seven-man diamond. It takes time for the offense to figure out all the befuddling in front of them. The chances are Ray Morrison will spring something new in the way of a defense against Alabama.

He is a genius at confounding the offense with screwy defenses. And the Commodore coach is credited with being one of the firat to see the many ad fi vantages of forward passing. Morrison's aerial circus blossomed forth In a year when Morrison was short on good players. A he concocted the aerial circuis to go places with the football. ATLANTA (US) Georgia Techs Jackets spotted Florida a touchdown on a blocked punt In the first quarter at Grant Field today and then came roaring back to win, 38 to 14.

The score appeared to inflame the Jackets fighting spirit and they took command of the game so quickly and effectively that Coach Bill Alexander was able to us hi substitute throughout the second half. The Gators made only three e-rious threats after Root blocked Lawrence Hays punt deep in Tech territory and Floyd Christian carried the ball 20 yards lo score. One Gator attack was stopped on the Jackets four-yard line, another on their seven, and the third which ended the game resulted In a touchdown on a 32-yard pass from Ed Manning to Paul Brock, who ran eight yards to score. Dutch Konemann. who did not appear in the second half, started the Jackets comeback.

He caught the kickoff on his 10 and sped back to the Gators 42. The Jackets drove on within a yard of a touchdown, with Ernest Tharpe bucking over. It was a spectacular game and throughout the first quarter the 'Gators looked dangerous. They had several flashy bscks and Walter Mayberry's return of punts was sensational.

Ala. A flock of fleet backs ran with abandon behind everal fine lines that blocked superbly and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute Tigers turned in a 44-0 victory over Loyola here Sail urday in their homecoming game 5.000 fans. Auburn scored in each quarter in fiving the old grads a high class defensive and offensive exhibition. The line and also some of the backs tackled with destruction on the defense and the forwards gave one of the finest displays of blocking seen on Drake Field in several years. Neither Loyola's running nor passing attack gave Auburn much trouble while the Plainsmen stuck decisively by both land and in the ir, although they did not have to retort to their heralded aerial game but three times.

Loyola, a well coached and pow-! erful club, was whipped by Auburn's seconds in the first quarter and really threatened to score only three times and hod possession of the ball in Auburn territory only oo a half dozen occasions during the afternoon. The Wolves' most serious advance carried them from their own 46 to Plainsmen's eight in the second quarter, but a fourth down pass over the goal line was incomplete and the ball was lost on downs. Loyola's Scoring Chances' Speck Kelly's fumble that Alternate CapL Cecil Sanders recovered on Auburn's 16 late in the third quarter and Jimmie Fenton's 10-yard kick that went out on Auburn's 20 in the third period were the only other real scoring opportunities had by Loyola. Both threats, however, lasted only a few econds as intercepted passes by Capt. Walter Gilbert and Ralph O'Gwynne.

after the Auburn forwards and Fullback Pelham Sitz had risen to defensive heights, brought Auburn out of the hole. Capt. Gilbert intercepted Eddie toss after the Wolves had gained three yards a play following Fentons poor punt and raced behind great blocking before finally being brought down on the Wolves 45.

BY FRITZ HOWELL COLUMBUS. Ohio UP) Ohio State combined power and "razzle-dazzle" Saturday to beat Michigans Wolverines. 21 to 0, giving the Bucks a second place tie in the Western Conference race, in which they tied for the title with Minnesota a year ago. The Wolverines played the Bucks to a standstill in the opening period, once rushing the ball to the Ohio three-yard line, but they faded rapidly in the closing sessions and the Bucks rammed over three touchdowns and added a field goal. A crowd of 56.202 witnessed the fray.

The Bucks opened up in the second. starting a drive on their own 24 and not stopping until Dye tossed a 14-yard pass to Cumiskey for the first touchdown. The second Ohio touchdown came in the third period, Johnny Rabb, the Akron sophomore fullback, cutting over tackle, reversing his field and sprinting 31 yards for the marker. A few minute later Bill Booth booted a field goal from placement on the 12-yard line. The last touchdown resulted from a 15-yard sprint around right end by Nick Wasylik, substitute quarterback.

Ford and Hanes stopping him on Southern's 25-yard line. The Panthers held for downs at the 16-yard line and Rufus Perry blasted the ball 85 yards.

The fury of the Bulldogs was no longer to be denied. Wilcox broke loose over left tackle for 64 yards. He lost two at right tackle and then tossed a 17-yard pass to Hopkins, who caught the ball back of the goal line. Christian converted. Herbert Browne opened the fourth period with a 58yard punt, and Rufus Perry booted the ball back 40 yards.

On the very first play Ray Christian went through right guard. He was off to the races with his interference throwing up a wall of granite in front of him. The play caught the Panthers over shifting. The Bulldogs came back with another drive, but again it was blunted, this time at the 19-yard line. The game ended with Howard in scoring position inside the Panthers 25-yard line, a 15-yard penalty following a 23-yard pass from Wilcox to Hodges.

Billy Bancroft and Ray Davis have come through with another fine coaching assignment. Devi has given Howard one of the fine lines of the South and Bancroft has given the Bulldogs a nifty set of backs, who can do anything expected of fine backs.

(JP) The badly tamed Princeton Tigers deserted the jungle for the air Saturday, came from the rear and topped off a so-so football season by holding a highly favored Dartmouth team to a 13-13 tie. The game ended the season for both teams before a crowd of 42.000.

Each team counted a touchdown in the second. Dartmouth forged into the lead with another in the third and then the Tigers put on their spurt to tie things up soon after the fourth got under way. Jack Daniel, a halfback, sent the Tigers into the lead at the start of the second. In three tries, he ran 30 yards to Dartmouth's 15 just as the first ended. He went over irom the three-yard mark on the third play of the second.

Ken Sandbach added the point. Dartmouth evened proceedings later in the same chapter when Merrill Davis blocked a punt and recovered. Bob MacLeod hurled a 20-yard pass to John Merrill behind the goal line for the score. Carl Rays try for point wat wide. Another break helped the Indians score a second touchdown in the third and go into the lead.

Bill Lynch fumbled a pass from center and Henry Whitaker, Green fullback, recovered. Leonard Viens, a substitute back, promptly passed to MacLeod on Princetons three. Joe Kiernan. another sub, hurled himself across the line to score. Ray's try for point was good.

A fifteen-yard penalty for clipping put Dartmouth back on its own six in the fourth period and forced Gordon Clark to kick out. Daniel returned 18 yards to the Greens 26 where Sandbach heaved a. beautiful overhead to Kaufman on the three. Lynch carried the ball across. Sandbach, with a chance to win the game with a successful for point, missed.

It took the firsts only eight plays after the initial second half kickoff to score. They drove from their 30 in scoring on Jimmie Fentons twisting run of five yards off three Loyola players.

The feature of the 70-yard drive was Halfback Billy Hitchcocks' run of 46 yards on which Tackle Herbert Roton and Alternate Capt. Frank Gantt did some marvelous blocking. Capt. Gilbert's pass interception led to the other score for the firsts, which was only a few minutes after Fenton's run. Hitchcock drew back and rifled a 37-yard pas Joel Eaves, who eluded scored standing up.

The regulars were jerked after Eaves' talley. Bobbie Blake's 20-yard jadnt around his right end accounted for Auburn's first marker. An exchange of punts gave the winners the ball on their 28 and led to Blake's run. O'Gwynne Goes 92 Yards Hamp Williams caught a 21-yard pass from Blake to score Alabama Poly's second six-pointer.

Conn. (P Yale rode the surging tide of football fortune to victory over Harvard Saturday, 14 to 13, as the luck of Larry Kelley, amazing Eli captain, held good to the end of his gridiron career. Trailing by 14 points at half-time after Kelley combined with the great Clint Frank to put on a sensational second-period scoring show. Harvard came within a few feet of tying the score with a spectacular last -half comeback. The game developed a battle that had a crowd of 58,000 in wild excitement, with the outcome determined by the thin margin of Fullback Vernon Struck failure to placekick the extra point after Harvards second touchdown.

The kicker, rushed by the furious Elis under Kelleys leadership, missed the uprights by scant yard or two, ending a gallant rally that saw Harvard parade 80 yards to their first score, and miss their opportunity to tally on a 21-yard pass tossed by Art Oakes to George Ford, the hero of the Crimson's comeback. The victory gave Yale the Big Three title. Catches Pass Capt. Kelley, winding up his college career on the gridiron, was on the receiving end of a 42-yard scoring pass from Frank for Yales second touchdown. The achievement enabled the lanky Eli leader to finish off a remarkable record of scoring in every Big Three" game over a three-year period.

Sharing the spotlight with Kelley, on both offense and defense, was the ace left halfback of the Elis, Frank, whose running, passing and tackling marked him as one of the greatest backs of the year in any league. Frank put the ball in position for Yales first touchdown with a 44-yard run and passed from his own 45-yard ling for the second score. Harvard took the wraps off a substitute halfback. Ford, at the outset of the second half and immediately began a roaring comeback. The Crimsons took the kick-off and traveled 80 yards in only eight plays for a touchdown.

Struck plunged over from the one-yard line and he place-kicked the extra point. Early in the fourth period Colwell's punt from, the end zone caromed out of bounds on Yale's 23. On the second play, with the ball on the Eli 21, Oakes passed down the middle to Ford who caught the ball a stride from the goal line and stepped across untouched. Struck had to hurry his placement kick and the ball sailed wide. Lineups and summary: Hurvara (13) Green, left end; Kevorkian.

I feel sort of funny, said the Williamsport, youth, I really can't explain it.

I guess I ought to go off somewhere and be by myself, alone. ,1 want to fihd out if I'm awalje.

And I feel sort of sad to think its all over, the day I dreamed about for four years." But. Kelley, puffing on his first cigaret since last September in the Yale dressing room, wasn't allowed to be "alone." For one thing. Dick Harlow. Harvard coadh, sought the big Yale end out and doffing his hat, said: God bless you. Larry.

You were great. Ill love you always. Then Ducky Pond, his coach, finally broke away from a crowd of jubilant alumni to tell his brilliant captain how "sorry he was to see him go. and added: "Now that the season is over, I can tell you to your face, you are i the greatest end I ever saw." Usually ready with a wisecrack to meet such situations. Kelley merely mumbled: "Gee, Im sorry my career is over."
