Of course. Jock wasnt able to get revenge, but he did leave an indelible impression on the crowd. The Pitt team was in there causing small sized riots until the final gun sounded. Notre Dame probably figured that it was in the cards to score first and that's just what the Irish did. Once again it was Xlarchy Schwartz, the lad who wrecked the Pitt club last season, who started the Panther eleven on the down grade.

March-, standing on his 30-yard line, wheeled a pass into the arms of Mellnkovleh, who caught the same on the five-yard line and ambled the rest of the distance for a touchdown Murphy, who is endeavoring to fill the large hoots of Carldeo, larked on the extra point. All of tills happened before the first quarter had whiskers. Instead of shooting what they have nicknamed the morale of Pitt by seeing Notre Dame count first, those Panthers didn't appear in the least disturbed. In fact, they came back fighting harder than ever and it Wasn't until they had knocked off a touchdown did they slow up. The extra point was missed, however, but the count placed the Panthers within striking distance and the remainder of the first half revolved itself into a dog fight.

By this time Anderson had inserted what he is pleased to call his second stringers and before the first half was over they had shown the first club a Ample of things by registering a touchdown.

24 (INS) Lefty Sypert kicked a field goal on fourth down in the final quarter here Saturday to give Oglethorpe a 3 to 0 victory over the Furman Purple Hurricane. It was the Petrels' first victory of the season. Furman, favorite in the game, could not score through the Oglethorpe line and the Petrels found the Hurricane forward wall equally impregnable. In the final minutes of the third quarter, a pass, Anderson to Sype, was completed for a 30-yard gain, placing the ball bn Furmans six-yaxd line as the quarter ended. The ball went over on the six-inch line and Allreds punt was good for only- 17 yards.

Meyers and llerrin got six yards in two tries and then Sypert, on Furman's 14-yard line, place-kicked for a field goal. field that ended with Grady's short plunge across the goal. The extra point, a drop-kick, failed. Simpson made its most serious bid toward the end of the half, taking advantage of a punt fumbled by Washburn on his 40-yard line. Houston got 15 on a reverse, but Grady broke up the drive by intercepting Montgomerys pass and running it back Into Simpson territory, a 30-yard return.

Ramsay went to Simpson's three-yard line in the fourth quarter, but was unable to count. AVashburns nice return of a punt brought the ball Into Simpson territory and Grady and Hewitt alternated in putting the ball on the Simpson five-yard mark, Grady making two first downs on successive plays. The Tornado line held admirably here. Houston and Jim Erwin were easily the Simpson stars, while Grady overshadowed his Ramsay mates. Hewitt, Arashburn and Goldfarb played excellently also.

Enslen. Simpson James. (Howard), (Blrmingham-South-timplre. Waller (A'ander- Bradford Knapp. Last season tbe Plainsmen barely defeated Spring Hill, 13 to 0, by staging a rally in the second quarter and pushing over two markers.

For three quarters the two teams fought on almost even terms, and many of the players who performed so well for tho Jesuit school in 1930 are back this season. Mike Donahue, who coached at Auburn for nearly a quarter of a century before resigning in 1922 to accept the post as head coach at L. S. is athletic director of Spring Hill and assists Pat Browne, former Tuiane star, in coaching the varsity griddeiis. The Hllllans have made rapid strides in the football world since Donahue has been director of athletics.

This is Brownes initial season as head coach. Jimmie Hitchcock, the Gallopin' Ghost of the Plains and Tom "Sleepy" Brown, who crossed the Badgers goal line in 1930, are back this season and both have improved considerably since turning in magnificent performances as sophomores. However, Coach Chet AVynne might not be able to use Brown on account of Injuries. Hitchcock, a Union Springs boy and a sure candidate for all-American grid honors, will probably start at right halfback and do tho kicking against the Hillians. Hill Veterans Denny Sullivan, Montgomery youth; Earl Mattina, Warren All-kens, Harry Mattel, Edgar Lovell, AValter Gibbons, Joe Bllgere and Burnett Mabry are the veterans at Spring Hill this year who looked good on Drake Field last season.

AVlth vengeance in their eyes, these wearers of the Purple and AVhlte will invade the Plains with hopes high of avenging the 13 to 0 count In 1930. The Tigers had better not take this game lightly because Spring Hill is capable of upsetting the dope against a large number of teams in Dixie. Spring Hill will be the final non-Southern Conference opponent that Auburn will face this season, as Tu-lane, Sewanee, Georgia and South Carolina stare the Tigers in the face after the encounter with the Badgers. I Six wearers of the Orange and I Blue will play their final game at I home against the Hllllans. Co-Cap-i tains Janies Bush and Chattie David son, Lindley Hatfield and Ralph Jor-danrrcgulars, and George Egge and George Holdcroft, substitutes, will perform on Drake Field for the last time next Saturday.

The vacancies left by these stellar players will cause the Plainsmen mentors plenty of worry before they are filled next year. All are lettermen.

Laigh succeeded In securing the signatures of several more stars on his baseball prior to departing homeward, Including Sewell.

Lalgh prized the ball very highly. However, he offered to auction the ball to the highest bidder at a big week-end double-header at Clinton, the entire proceeds to go to charity.
