NEW ORLEANS (IP) Bemie Bierman has resigned as head coach at Tulane University effective after the close of thla year, and Ted Cox, line coach of Tulane, has been selected ss his successor. Bierman resigned to become head coach at University of Minnesota and expressed regret at leaving Tulane. He said he would not have gone except to return to his alma mater, Minnesota. Bierman explained that he would stay with the team until after Jan.

1 If Tulane Is Invited play the Rose Bowl game. Otherwise he said he would take over his new dutlps at Minnesota on the first of the year. Cox hgs been one of Blermans mainstays during the three year the Green Wave has come through the Southern Conference championship undefeated. Good Line Coech His tutoring of linesmen has been credited as being one of the major factors in bringing out the winning team. Cox also is an alumnus of Minnesota and probably will use the same Bierman coaching system at Tulane.

Dr. Wilbur S. Smith, Tulane University athletic director, expressed regret that Head Coach Rernie Bierman was leaving Tulane for Minnesota. "I regret to see Coach Bierman leave Tulane. Dr.

Smith said, "as he is an admirable character, a great I gentleman, splendid coach and he carries the best wishes of everyone I connected with athletics at Tulane. Big Factor "He has been a great factor in the building of both athletic teams and sportsmanship in football, not only at I Tulane but in the South during his flVo years. 1 imagine that the announcement of his successor will be made sometime late today, I regret very much leaving Tulane, said Bierman. "I would not have done so except to return to my almu mater." Moore Offered Tulane Backfield Job CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. UP) The News says Saturday that Cecil "Scrappy" Moore, head football coach at the University of Chattanooga, has a tentative offer to become backfield coach at Tulane University.

Moore, the newspaper said, will meet In a confomece with Tulane officials at New Orleans Monday. Moores University of Chattanooga team won the championship this sea-j son of the Southern Interscholastic Association and Dixie Conference. Before becoming head coach of the MoccaslnB he served here as assistant to Frank Thomas and Harold Drew, now Alabama coaches. s.M.ii.isms In Soon the score was squared, bow ever, after Capt. Jerry Dalrymple had left the side lines bench and took his post at right end.

He rallied his team and five minutes later Tulane went over the goal line, making the score 7-7. in the second quarter, the Green Wave hit its stride and rang up two more touchdowns, but In the third quarter Washington State scored again, making the score, 21 to 14, and the Tulane supporters uncomfortable. In the laBt quarter CapL Dalrymple I made his team safe by catching Zimmerman's pass from the 25-yard line as he stood behind Washington State's goal line giving his team a i lead of two touchdowns which it held to the end. Biermsn's Last Game The game represented the last appearance in New Orleans of Bernie Bieman as head coach for Tulane, official announcement being made during the game that he would leave for his Alma Jlater, University of Minnesota, to becomqhead football mentor and that he would be sue- ceeded here by Ted Cox, Tulane's giant of a line coach. it also meant tho last regular as I a seasonal game to be played in by Capt.

Dalrymple, who Will leave by graduation along with Haynes, Glover, Dawson, McCormick. Deeol-igny and Haik. Tho crowd knew It and surged on the field at the end of the game to bid them farewell. The game held its zip and flash in every quarter and to the very last each team was fighting hard, it was easily the Hardest game of the season for the Green Wave who missed the spark of Nollle Felts, halfback, who was out of play because of an injured ankle. Take To Air Kach team attacked through the air.

Tulane scoring three of Its four touchdowns on forward passes. But Washington State was not afraid of Tulanes powerful line and hit it time and aguin for gains with Tulane retaliating against the stout Cougar line. Each team tackled hard and Sander and Schroeder shone for Washington along with Tulane's Zimmerman and Glover. Quick for every advantage Washington State scored tho first touchdown off of Puyue's fumble which was recovered by 'Turk" Edwards, Washington's massive tackle. In a series of plunges Schroeder, halfback, brought it to the two-yard lino where on a double backfleld pass, Quarterback Dahlen skirted left end for touchdown and then turned around and kicked goal.

The great passing combination. Zimmerman to Haynes, accounted for Tulanes first score, Haynes taking the pass on the goal line and falling over for a touchdown as he was tackled by Halfback Sander. Zimmerman kicked goal. In the second quarter a pass, Zimmerman to Dawson, brought the ball Into scoring position on the 27-yard line where Zimmerman threw a pass to Dawson who was forced out of bounds on tho six-yard line. Here, the eely Glover took the ball from a double lateral pass and shot over the line with two Washington State tacklers swinging around his neck.

Zimmerman kicked goal. Pass intercepted The same quarter saw the fleet footed Don Zimmerman intercept a pass on Washington State's 48-yard line and carry it to the 15-yard line in a brilliant run. Twice the line was pounded for short gains and then Zimmerman shot a short pass over center into Haynes hands for the third Tulane touchdown. Bander brought up an attempted pass for the extra point but Washington was called offsides and on the second try Zimmerman place-kicked the extra point. After the half Washington State took the field fresh and full ef fight and broke Tulane's morale by blocking Glovers quick kick which Scliroeder recovered.

Sander, punted McCraw Williamson Pass Gives Poets First Loss Of Year In Great Duel Both Tennessee touchdowns came within five minutes of each other and brought the big crowd to Us feet in thrilling acclaim. Feathers, on a surprising Jaunt, raced 65 yards for the first score after it appeared he had been stopped, only to break away from his tacklers and get Into the clear. Shortly afterward Rraek-ett, substitute quarterback, plucked one of Jim Tanguay's high spirals out of the air on his own 26-yard mark, slowly picked his way to one side of the field, zigzagged toward the other side and completed a 74-yard scoring dash with the aid of superb blocking assistance. At least a half dozen New York players missed good chances to bring Brackett down In bis bewildering, twisting advance down the field, but not one could keep a firm grasp on the elusive Volunteer McEver Bucks Over McEvcr bucked the line for the first extra point, but failed In an attempt to kick the next one. Otherwise the veteran ace of the Tennessee backfield devoted his afternoon to blocking, tackling, passing and a few line bucks, in addition to serving as the decoy.

McEver's longest gain from scrimmage was about 16 yards, as he yielded the spotlight of all-around backfield performance to Feathers, whoso brilliant kicking and running played a big part In the victory. Not only waH New Tork's defensive play below standard, especially In the line, but the Violets showed a complete lack of a scoring punch In the two fine chances they had to push over a touchdown. Tho Violet forwards. In the pinches, were thoroughly outplayed by the Southerners, led by the redoubtable Herman Hickman. 208-pound right guard.

Hickman, a reminder of Yales famous cupld black, swarmed all over the Violets and plucked them on all sides of the line of scrimmage. He figured In nearly half of the tackles on defense. Late In tho first period, a 42-yard pass, Tanguay to Hugret, put New York on Tennessees 8-yard line after two earlier threats of the Vol unteers had been turned back. ThiN gave tho Southerners their first chance to display their defensive stuff and they rose to the emergency by taking the ball on downs as Joe Lamark's last lunge for a touchdown fulled by a matter of Inches. It took the ofifclals several moments to decide whether Lamark had crossed the last line or not and the Violet rooters booed the adverse decision lustily.

New York Rallies After "being swept off their feet and outclassed In tho second period, in which Tennessee advanced the ball a totnl of 237 yards, New York rallied with another passing attack In the third quarter. Two long heaves, with Hugret on the receiving end of the second one, planted the pigskin on Tennessee's five-yard stripe. Here the Vols exhibited the defensive classic of the game. They not only stopped four straight line plays but set their rivals back five yards in the bargain, taking tho ball on downs on the 10-ynrd line. From there on Tennessees defense was airtight against all threats, through the air or the line, and the Eli Wins Decision Of Judges Over Brown After Taming Holy Cross, 6 To 0 for three quarters of today tuss's and then, with only six minutes, re lnainlng to play, striking and decisively through the air to their first victory of the year over a major opponent.

It was none other than "Bullet Lou Kirn, the Tars fiery little halfback, who fired the shot that sank the Red and Blue I inn machine. For most of three periods he had thrown lilmself against and through the stout Quaker line, scoring dx first downs with his darting, weaving runs and doing about all the damage for his side. Then, apparently muling his efforts along that line were useless, he decided to throw the ball instead. His chance came when Perina, l'ig Penn fullback, punted out from behind his own goal line to the Middies 45-yard stripe. The audleqo having watched a rather dull pu-n ing duel for upward of two hour, had about reconciled itself to a scoreless tic.

In another moment they were on their feet, electrified, and several thousand Midshipmen were in the throes of hysteria. Fakes End Run Kirn, faking an end run, turned Instead and faded far back. When he did face about, It was to cut loose with the longest puss he had in his system. Tschlrgi, fleet Middle halfback, and two lenn defenders took out after It. For a thrilling moment it looked like a dead heat, but at the last possible instant Tschlrgi leaped and snared the ball on his finger tips.

The two Penn men obligingly bumped Into one another at the right moment, and the Navy back easily sprinted the last 30 yards for a touchdown. Elliott missed the try for point, but it didnt matter. With the exception of that climactic Navy broadside, the two elevens hat tied on more or less even terms all the way, first one and then the other taking the upper hand for a time. The first downs were; Navy Pennsylvania 7. Penn made only two first downs In the second half, both on passes.

Marys Win 7-2 Battle In Fourth Quarter Score ALABAMA will play an intersections! game in the Yankee Stadium in 1933. A two-year contract with one of the outstanding grid centers of the East will be signed within the next few days, calling for Alabama's first appearance in New York. It is understood several schools in the New York vicinity have offered the Crimson Tide an October game for 1933. Off-hand the writer would say that Alabama will play one of the following four teams: Army, Fordham, New York University or Cornell. The East has been anxious to see an Alabama football team for many years, you might say ever since Alabama staged that great comeback in Rose Bowl against the Washington Huskies.

Tying Stanford and beating Washington State made Alabama in the East. Alabama has a .500 rating in its intersectional games played in the East. Xen Scott's Crimsons kicked Pennsylvania in Philadelphia when Pooley Hubert was just beginning to make his presence felt in other folks backfield. Coach Wade's iirst Alabama team lost to Chick Meehan's Syracuse team in Syracuse. But since the days of Syracuse defeat, Alabama has become one of the real powers in national football.

The inter-sectional game in 1933 will come in the midst of a hard schedule Coach Frank Thomas has mapped out for the Crimsons. In 1933 the Crimsons will meet Tennessee. Florida, Kentucky, Georgia, Tech' and Vanderbilt. And there is an outside chance that Georgia or Tulane will be on the 1933 schedule. 4 Alabamas schedule tor 1932 will be announced in a few days.

Neither Howard College nor Sewanee will appear on the schedule. Sewanee was offered two dates, one for a game in Montgomery, but didnt care to accept. It Will seem rather strange not to find Sewanee on Alabamas schedule next year. The Aabama-Sewanee game is one of the oldest annuals in the South. Georgia Tech and George Washington will be two of the new comers on the Crimsons schedule.

Georgia Tech is a new comer in one sense of the word, but when you get down to the old order of things, Georgia Tech is really an old comer, coming back on Alabama's schedule after an absence of two years. The Crimsons will play George Washington in Washington, D. C-, and Georgia Tech on Grant Field, the scene of those many thrillers the Jackets and Crimsons put on in the championship days of the Golden Tornado and the Crimson Tide. Alabama has asked Tulane for a game on Dec. 3.

The Crimsons are willing to play the Green Wave in New Orleans. Alabama offered Tulane the dates Florida held on the Crimsons schedule in 1929 and 1930. If the Greenies are looking for a more robust team to conquer in 1932. a year which many claim will see the greatest of all Tulane elevens, they need do no more than accept Alabama's application for a game. The Alabama players are keen to tackle the Greenies.

Washington State wants to play Alabama in Birmingham next year. The Cougars would like to visit the Magic City in December. Birmingham will be fortunate in 1932 they draw two of the Crimsons biggest games. The Tennessee Vols. featuring Beattie Feathers, who will make Vol supporters forget McEvcr, Dodd and Hickman before he quits toeing a football, play Alabama at Legion Field, Oct.

15, and Vanderbilt will be the Crimsons Thanksgiving opponents. Start now to looking forward to a real season of thrillers at Legion Field. Auburn has booked Duke for Oct. 8 and may induce either Tulane or Georgia to play in the Magic City. Dick Donahue, the strapping Notre Dame tackle who served as one of Frank Thomas' grid lieutenants, will not be back at Alabama.

Donahue announced Saturday he had two opportunities to advance higher up the ladder of success. One is a salesman position with one of the big film companies. The other is a coaching assignment nearer his home. Capt. Joe Sharpe named Alabama's all-opponent team Saturday, after taking a vote of the players on the train Friday night.

The name of Gene McBvers doesnt appear on the team. The Crimsons named Beattie Feathers, Good Fortune, Shipwreck Kelly and Dixie Roberts as the four best backs they played against. Feat-ers led the balloting by one vote with Fortune, Roberts and Kelly receiving an equal number of votes 13 each. Crimsons picked as their most worthy end opponents, Derryberry (Tennessee) and Julian Foster (Vanderbilt): Patton (Sewanee) and Saunders (Tennessee), tackles; Flowers (Ole Miss) and Frank (Tennessee), guards; Seale (Kentucky), center; Kelly (Kentucky) Roberts and Fortune (Vanderbilt) and Feathers (Tennessee), backs. Capt.

Joe Sharpe is, positive that Bo" Seale, the stern battling Kentucky center, will become one of the greatest pivot men in the history of Southern football. He rates him as the best center he has played against in the Southern Conference. Paul Burnum, Alabama freshman football coach, proclaims John (Hurry)) Cain a better back than either Southern California or Notre Dame showed him at South Bend when the Trojans licked the Micks. Cain is just as great a back on the offense as March-mont Schwartz and there is no comparison in their defensive ability. Cain is a much harder blocker than Schwartz and as great a defensive back as ever played football.

Coach Bill Alexander paid a flying visit to Chattanooga Saturday in order to see the Alabama-Moccasin game. And no doubt did some mental scouting on the Crimsons. It was great to see the Georgia Tech coach again. Alexander has one of the most pleasing personalities in the coaching game, a great favorite of fellow coaches all over the country. Scrappy Moore wasnt too full of football conversation to talk baseball.

It won't be long before we will be training at Rick-wood, said Andy. And say, dont think there aren't going to be a lot of happy hurlers in the Southern League next year happy over the departure of Art Weis. Weis was in a class by himself in the Southern League last year, one of the finest hitters ever to play in the league. We lose a great fellow as well as the fox of the outfielders. Dub Golfer Tosses False Teeth Away Headline.

After throwing golf clubs, golf bag and teeth in a pond, the irate London golfer should have jumped in himself. The irate golfer should also throw away his false pride and quit taking his game too seriously. There was an interesting story in this weeks Literary Digest, concerning one Marchmont Schwartz. Here it is: He was a stripling in St. Stanislaus School at Bay St.

Louis, and his parents would not let hint play football. Foster Commagere, who was coach, came to his home, told his parents he thought their son could be a good football player. They couldnt see it that way; he would get hurt. After a long time, they consented to let him play, with the provision that the first time he was hurt he would have to quit. He has never been injured.

He was knocked out in the Pitt game this year, and arose to pass to a score a few plays later. Money-player. And yet he is not big, as football players go. He stands a scant 5 feet 10 inches, his weight fluctuates in the light 160s. He is a bit slim.

"There is nothing he cannot do in a football game. This came about gradually. He was the best passer at Notre Dame when he was a freshman. Commagere had seen to that. "But no one noticed him for anything else.

"Rockne. perhaps. "An upper classman said the boy one day would be all-America, and was laughed at. Elder was graduated. There was no great running back.

"Marchmont Schwartz became the great running back. Carideo was graduated. There was no great kicker this year. "Marchmont Schwartz became the kicker. Two years of prep school football was all he had before entering college.

He could run pretty well when he came to Notre Dame. Well, he had run a little in prep school. Used to go 40 or 50 yards and then would be dragged down from behind. He was not fast. He is not old as all-Americas go.

He is 22. He is verv modest. He never went with a girl; doesnt now; doesnt care if he ever docs. And the fan mail comes in bunches. He isn't the worst-looking boy in the world.

Rather handsome, in fact. There were six telegrams under his door after one game. He lives along in old Corby Hall, next to the twin lakes at Notre Dame. There were five crates of apples on the floor of the room. Someone in Seattle whom he had never seen had sent them.

He shouldered one; he was taking it down to Hunk Andersons home. Campolo Decides To Quit Fighting Headline. And pray say' when did Campolo ever start fighting. Football seasons will come and go for a great many years without a team getting as bad a break as Northwestern. Before taking part in the Big Ten charity program Northwestern had the Big Ten title won and an invitation to play Southern California.

The Purdue defeat cost the Wildcats a championship and a perfectly gorgeous trip to California. But think of the satisfaction the players will get out of the sacrifice they made in behalf of charity. Georgia will lose 12 players through graduation. In years to come when Catfish Smith, Downes, Roberts, Maddox, Leathers, Patterson. Moran, Chandler.

Kelley, Rose, Dickens and Bennet go back to Athens for one of those friendly visits, they can say to themselves when they look at Georgias fine stadium that they helped to build the plant. Georgias stadium will stand as a monument to these boys for it was gate receipts from games in which they played that paid off the bill. Somewhere on a tablet should be engraved the names of all the players who played under the Georgia banner while funds were being collected to pay off. BY STANLEY SMITH MONTGOMERY. Dec.

6 Tuscaloosas Black Bears ran their remarkable grid record to seven straight undefeated years within the state Saturday by trimming Sidney Lanier's great blue-clad eleven, 7-0, here In one of the most hotly contested prep games ever played in Cramton Bowl. The Poets, unde-feateed this year in 12 games, drew a tartar in the thirteenth and went down before a brilliant display of fight and determination. Led by tho plunging of Ralph Hewitt, the Black Bears engineered a touchdown drive In the middle of the final period to take tho margin of victory. Hewitt had led a drive to midfield when Halfback Moody ducked under the Poet line fog a 12-yard gain. Left-handed McGraw passed to Terry for 17 yards and tho ifetermined Bruins reached the Poets 15.

Here Hewitt smashed to the five-yard line on the first try, only to have the play called back and Tuscaloosa received a five-yard penalty. One line play and a pass failed, but on third down McGraw dropped back, threw an 18-yard aerial to Temple Williamson and the alUstate Bear ace stepped over the goal for a touchdown. McGraw left-footed the extract point. Poets' Threat Checked Lanier was distinctly outpluyed in every quarter except the second when the Poets smashed to Tuscaloosa's one-yard line. Adams set the Lanier team on its way by Intercepting a short pass on the Bears 35 and running to the' 23.

Cook and Kilgrow made five and a pass, Kilgrow to Scott, put the ball on the Bruins nine-yard stripe. to Zimmerman, but he fumbleiT and Adams got three and Kilgrow added Edwards recovered for the Cougars four in two tries, but on fourth down. NEW HAVEN, Dec. 6 ff) Yale won a judges decision over Brown, something unique In the history of Eastern football, to win the final game and chief honors Saturday In tho round robin football festival, for the benefit of the unemployed. Held scoreless by the Bruins after defeating Holy Cross, 6 to 0.

In the first of two qualifying matches to determine the tourney finalists, a committee of judges designed to meet that emergency decided Yale had outplayed Brown Just enough to win the second decision ever awarded in this manner after a football game in the East. The first award of that kind came after the second qualifying match when Brown gained the final by catching the eyes of the arbitrating board after a scoreless contest with Dartmouth. All three games were restricted to two periods of 12 minutes each. From both the standpoint of charity and the excitement of the abbreviated play, the tournament appeared successful for a crowd estimated at 30.000 braved bitterly cold afternoon to watch the four varsity elevens strike hard and fast through every minute of play. Because of the cold that numbed players and spectators alike, passing games were erratic but constantly In evidence.

Marys College, defeated Southern Methodist University, Southern Conference champions, here Saturday by a 7 to 2 score in one of the most thrilling football games ever layed on the Pacific Coast. The unorthodox visiting Mustangs and the spectacular Gaels kept the brisk air full of flying footballs most of the afternoon, Gilbert, S. M. U. quarterback, proving to be a sharpshooter and Mason and Travidjl his fellow hacks, displaying amazing ability at receiving.
