Kentucky 'Cats Triumph Over V. M. 26-2 BY BARNEY BALLARD LEXINGTON. Ky. JP) Kentucky's Wildcats bounced back into victory road Saturday by defeating a scrappy but outweighed football squad of Cadets from Virginia Military Institute, 26-2.

Long runs by Kenton (Dutch) Campbell and Norman Klein accounted for three of the Wildcats' touchdowns and the passing com- bination of Klein to Campbell racked up the fodrth Kentucky score. The Cadets, who featured a dangerous passing duet of Elmer to Clyde Grimenstein, registered a safety in the third period when Klein fumbled a high pass from center on an attempted punt behind his own goal line and the ball bounced out of the end zone. Both teams threatened to score on several occasions but frequent fumbles, especially in the third period. ruined their chances. Campbell put the home club i ahead with a 25-yard gallop around right end in the opening period, shortly after Floyd Shorts intercepted one of Kozzora's passes at that point.

Late in the second quarter, the lanky Newark, Ohio, freshman passed to Klein 22 yards for another touchdown. Fred Farris placekicked both extra points. Campbell picked his way through a broken field for 57 yards and an- other touchdown in the third period and Klein. Louisville freshman, carried on a reverse for 27 yards in the final period for the fourth touchdown. Farris missed both the last two tries for the extra point, Washington finished 25 games back of first place in the American, and the Phils were to the rear in the National.

AUTO I NSURAKCE Alio Coll (J On FIRE Writ for s-ooki. I BY WENDELL GIVENS Howard's Bulldogs scored on the last play of the game against Mill-saps at Legion Field Saturday night to salvage a little something in a 19-7 defeat.

It was the last tilt of the season for Howard and the fifth straight loss without a victory. Ed Spencer threw a short pass in the right flat to Wingback Charles Davis from the nine, Davis caught it on the five and stepped across. The final whistle sounded just after the ball was snapped. Jed Pepper came in to convert from placement. The Majors, chalking up their second triumph of the season and their second over Howard, tallied two of their touchdowns on Tailback Jerry Gregg's accurate passes, and the third on a 14-vard stint by Gregg.

It took the visitors only four plays to score their first six-pointer. After three line plays had taken it to the 29. Gregg flipped one to End Warren Brown. Gregg failed to convert. After a short Howard punt in the second Gregg threw from the Howard 37 to Weathers on the 11.

Two plays later he flipped to Pitt Pittman on the five and Pittman went over. Again in the fourth, Gergg carried the Majors from the Howard 31 to the 14 on passes, then skipped the remaining distance through the line. The Majors ace missed the extra point for the second straight time. Howard's scoring drive actually covered 93 yards, counting a 60-yard return of a punt by Spencer, the longest and best run of the game. Passes to Jack Hay.

Lewis Mailer and Davis took it to the 11, Spen- cer got two, then flipped to Davis for the score. First downs were 10 to 9 for the Majors, one of theirs coming on a penalty. Millsaps had 62 yards net rushing and Howard 40, Howard completed eight of 17 passes thrown for 61 yards. The Majors completed 13 of 21 for 178 yards and that 178 yards tells the story. Both lines held up well bill Howard's pass defense was woefully weak.

One Millsaps score, a 21-yard run by Gregg, was canceled by a hold-i ing penalty.

The Bruins were greatly outplayed in the line for three periods, and much of St. Mary's success was due to the great blocking of such experienced stars as Hayward Sanford, former University of Alabama tackle; John Woudenberg, of Denver University; Comer Jones, of Ohio State, and Ray Riddick, of Fordham.

Tech. Sgt. Lawrence Bailee, coach of (he Fliers, has rounded his club into a neat working combine that features teamwork instead of individual stars.

Not that the Fliers haven't same fancy stepping backs, for they have. James Smoot, David Wilson, Melvin Walker and William Howard are the starting rearworks men and all of them are scoring threats.

BY ROBERT McGEHEE Random recollections of jersey decked gridirons; In the 10th meeting of Auburn and Alabama football teams, six of which Auburn "had won. the Tigers trimmed the student-coached Crimsons. 10 to 0, in the year 1900. at the Birmingham State Fair Grounds. Chick Hannon and Atix-ford Burks starred for Alabama.

The Auburn attack was highlighted by Birmingham's Bob Ware and John Sparkman. Old timers will testify that Bob McWhorter, of Georgia (1910-11), was the greatest fullback in Southern football in his day. It was the era when fullbacks were all that the name implies and were geared only for smashing the line and stocky, sinewy Bob, with his head down, could blast asunder the strongest of man-made defenses. Birmingham's first big game of present day proportions was the Vanderbilt-Auburn game of 1911 at Rickwood Field. Crafty Mike Donahue had primed his Tigers for the TenneSseeans who had dominated Southern football for many years.

He had two back field squads of equal strength, plus a bone crushing llbe. Using scat runner Red Harris, of Bessemer, and slippery hipped Tom Christopher as the spearheads, he wore the big Vandy team down, winning 14 to 6. Coach Orlen Kellys 1915 Thin Red Line of Alabama was undoubtedly the gamest eleven of that year. Boasting no shining stars, except Bully Vandegraff. they took a fair Tulane and Mississippi College, then journeyed to Austin, Tex.

Vk team arrived one hour before game time in a pouring rain and half of the boys were train sick. With barely time to don uniforms and take a long breath they tackled the giant Texa'ns and held them to a 20 to 0 score. And the 1915 Crimsons were the first Alabama team to take the measure of Sewanee. Birmingham boys on the team were Bill Harsh, captain; Griff Harsh, Lovick Stevenson and Jake Taylor. Never did the Gold and Blue of Auburn wave so gloriously as in the brilliant dynasty of Michael Donahue (1909-251, Devastating power was Mike's forte.

The long roster of Auburn gridiron heroes and the illustrious campaigns that they waged and won in those haly-eon years scintillates the pages of Southern football history. There was lanky John Shirey, brilliant end of the early 1920s, who helped beat Vanderbilt, 56 to 0, in 1920, and Washington and Lee, 77 to 0. We can still see those long and powerful legs scampering over the greensward, scoring touchdown after touchdown on the bewildered Washington and Lee. And Fats Warren, leftfooted tackle, who would walk slowly up to the ball for the placement kick, and he never missed a goal. Ed Shirling was Mike's own darling of a fullback, and snarling 220-pound Tackle Babe Taylor made us tremble in our boots for the opposing lineman, so vicious was he on the attack.

The Mercury-hoofed Kirk Newell, immortal Moon Ducote, powerful Babe Pearce, and canny Slick Moulton all made the name of Auburn feared throughout the land. Sans Bo McMillin and Red Roberts, but including Flash Covington, the C'cYitre College team of 1923 literally stunned Wallace Wade's star-studded Crimson Tide at Rickwood and beat them, 24 to u. looley Hubert, Red Barnes, iler-schel Caldwell, Grant Giiiis, and a potential Alabama Hose Bowl team seemed over-awed at (he lightning plays in the first minutes, with passes from Covington to Lemon and Rhuharth lilting the air. and they never regained the accustomed composure. The Crimsons were so enraged that they slaughtered a favored George on Thanksgiving Day, 30 to 0.

Wallace Wade rose tensely from the Alabama benrh, the 'Hama band hushed its strains of Alma Mater, an electric silence swept quickly through the stadium The incomparable Johnny Mack Brown had plucked the Kentucky kickoff squarely on his three-yard line.
