Push Em Over Tony Holm, supported by a bone-crushing Alabama line, overpowered the Georgia 1 ech Engineers down in Tech bottoms Saturday ir a typical blood and thunder Tornado-Tide clash, the red horde winning 14 to 0. The Crimsons unleashed the most terrific driving power seen on Grant Field this year in pile driving 250 yards while keeping Tech on the defense through more than three-fourths of the game. Stumpy Thompson, Warner MizelJ and Earl Dunlap were chained back of their line by the Alabama forwards who charged as one man upon them with the great Ercddic Sington Continuing his spectacular play at guard.

Record Crowd The largest crowd that ever Jammed Purdue's Bandbox Stadium. 26,000 spectators, saw every kind of football In one game.

J5 by 0)u iaty W.lih Syndicate ATLANTA, Nov. 16 Alnbama defeated Georgia Tech 14 to .0 In a ftume on a heavy field here Saturday. The Alabama team deserved to win their line stopped the Tech attack dead. When a team holdx their opponents so well that six-yard Ruin on running play Is the longest gain of the day, that toum deserves win. Oeorgfa Tech might have eked out a scoreless tie except for an unfortunate penalty that gave Alabama the ball on Tech's four-yard line.

Tho second touchdown was the Interception of a desperate Tech pass In the last minute of play. The Tech coaches were pleased with the game, regardless of the outcome ns the Tech line for the first lime tills year played desperately and courageously the entire 60 minutes. They succeeded In stopping the Alabama attack whenever It reached their 30-yard line, save once. Tide Plays Safe Alabama played the game along safe and conservative lines after scoring 7 points In the first quarter. Their conception of the kicking game was first class.

They were content to drive the hall to midfield and then kick out of bounds near Tech's goal line the last three quarters of the Their klclter was well protected and tho whole Alabama team whs down under the punt to tackle the Tech surety man near his goal It he caught tho hall and to kill it on the 1-yard line, if he let the ball hit. The Alabama team also Dished the Tech kicker during tho first quarter and forced several short punts that helped them to reach scoring territory. Holm And Sington In Holm at fullback and Sington at guard, Alabama showed two players that are certainly entitled to All-American consideration. Holm runs with such drive and abandon thut only perfect tackling has any chance to stop him. On defense, Holm Is a fine tackier and right up to snuff os a defender against passes.

He is also a better than average punter. Sington, with the exception-of Cannon, of Notre Dame, is the best lineman the writer has seen this year. On defense he ehargod like a mud bull and used his 216 pounds to advantage on punts. Ho beat his ends down field and on offense he act ns the big Interforer for Holm. In addition to his line accomplishments, he Is a good place kicker and kick-off man.

Tech Handicapped The Tech team entered tho game as underdogs with a revamped lineup, that had worked together only four days. In addition, they were badly outweighed In the center of the line. They did under the circumstances the only sensible thing, that Is played a strictly defensive game depending on a break or a fortunate forward pass for a score. No Tech team ever played with more spirit or more fight and might easily have earned a 0-to-0 score. Capt.

Rusk at Center, Maree at tackle, and Dunlap and Thomason In the secondary defense played nearlj perfect ball. Mlzell did some very fine punting and proved beyond a doubt that given proper protection Me can punt with anybody in the country. Campbsll Fumble In the middle of the fourth quarter, with the score 7 to 0 In favor of Alabama, a play occurred that brought the huge stadium to'lts feet: Campbell of Alabama, fumbled, and Isaacs, the Tech left end, scooped the hall and raced 70 yards over the goal line. The crowd forgot about the change In this year's rule and thought Isaacs had run to tie the score. Of course, the officials called the hall dead ut the spot.

Isaacs picked up the hall and gave the hall to Tech at that spot. Under laat year's rule the score would have probably been 7 to 6, Alabama. The writer feels that the now rulo Is all right, even though It hurt Saturday afternoon. It would have certainly been touch on that Alabama line to have It count anil all their great effort go for nothing, through the error of one back 'Barn Is Best Alabama, in my opinion, is tho best team I have keen in the South this year in spite of defeats by Tennessee and Vanderbilt. roHsibly Saturday was the first day this year that Alabama had her full force on the field and lived up to all her possibilities.

NOSES OUT TEXAS TEAP-12 Horned Frogs Beat Longhorns First Time In History; Left On Top Alabama hammered over her first touchdown in the opening period, starting an off-taekle attack that swept the TVh line before it for 24 yards.

Tin second Alabama touchdown came late in tin fourth period after the Iratfling Hngineers had stopped a 52-yard pile-driving murch of the iTimsons, Tony Holm intercepting a forward pass and racing 40 yards for the second haymaker.

Stumpy, In the estimation of the players who have played against him for the past three years, has had few equals as a fine sportsman.

One of the most pleas nt things I will have to. remember the three years Thomason played against us will be Stumpys fine fighting spirit and clean sportsmanship. Vance Maree and Capt. Rusk were tho outstanding players in Techs line, the giant Maree giving his all to a losing cause. However, he was able to combat the power that.

Alnbama shot against, him when they wanted him ut of a particular play, two of Tide's 'first long runs being shot inside of the big giant. In the Tech backfield Thomason ami Dunlap stood out. with Warner coming through a number of times with great punts in the pinches.

Team With Varied Drive snagging Punting Comparison Tony llolm was not expected to be anywhere in Mizdls class as punter. but he was nevertheless. He averaged 29 yards on 16 attempts, corning through with lofty spirals in the pinches that hung In the murky skies long enough for the whole Alabama squad to get down the field.

Mizzell punched his educated toe into the cowskin 17 times for an average of 35 yards. Once he lost a yard on a punt and once he kicked the hall 60 yards down the field. backed up against the last white line on the field a punt that staved off a touchdown maybe two. Alabama was getting down under Holm's lofty boots, holding Tech to a mere return of 25 yards. On the other foot.

Alnbama picked up 114 yards by dashes Mizells kicks back up the field. Therje was too much Sington, Moore and Elmore on the field for Stumpy Thomason to get loose. When the Alabama ends mi.ssod Stumpy Mr. Hlngton heaved an anchor around Stumpy's throbbing breast. Only Few Injuries The Crimsons came out of the Tech game with fewer injuries than any game they have played in this year.

None of them will prove costly. By Turkey Day the Crimsons should be able to throw In their full strength for the first time since they started their Southern Conference program.
