New Orleans, Nov. 8 Tulane's Green Wave rippled easily through its football assignment here Saturday afternoon, although in some circles the 1929 champions were expected to win by a more handsome score than 21 to 0, by which they did win. As a matter of fact, the Greenies were rather, fully extended by the Tigers, who fought tenaciously against somewhat overwhelming odds when it is remembered that Auburn has suffered heavy losses this season from its already scanty supply of high grade football timber.

Dr. A. L. Atwood led. In the double shooting, breaking 20 out of the 24.

Good scores were the rule on the 50 sixteen-yard targets, while most of the skeet shooters shot below their average. There was a strong wind blowing which caused the targets to be very erratic and hard to hit. Several of the shooters were shooting for their first time and made good scores for beginners. of the regular shooters were on hunting trips which accounts for the somewhat small attendance, however, 22 shooters took pat In the various matches. Next Thursday, Nov.

Columbia penetrated Colgate rltory only twice. AM TEAM, 25-7 Maroorf Team Shows Lot Of Offensive Power Early In Game But Fail CRAWFORD COTTLE Two of Birmingham-Southern's promising young linemen are shown above. Cottle, the chap with the broad amile, is a 165-pound guard who has seen considerable service this season, including an assignment in the Millsaps game Saturday. Bieker, 168 pounds, is another guard who has been showing up especially well. With the Mississippi College game at Clinton and the Howard game here coming up in short order these gridders are getting set for a hard session of skirmishing.

The smashing 30-6 victory over Millsaps Saturday indicated the return to form of the Hilltoppers regulars and one reserve at home Monday afternoon when the Bulldogs embark for the Southeastern corner bf Alabama. Tommy Bondurant, whose line plunging, backing up the forwards and placement kicking have helped Howard pile up li)9 points thus far. Is one of the fullbacks to be absent Tuesday. Bondurants understudy at fullback, A1 Brown, also will be unable to get Into uniform against the Florida Hurricane. Bondurant is still in bed, suffering from a severe wrenched back.

He was knocked out of the Chattanooga game last week. Brown, a sophomore from Gordo, Is hobbling around on a crutch as a result of receiving a fracture to a small bone in his right foot two weeks ago. Shag Laney, former Phillips High School star and now a steady sophomore guard on Howards front wall, is the third menjber of the crippled trio. Laney Is Howards best guard this season, despite the fact that he is serving his first year in varsity competition. His work was especially commendable In the intersectional struggle with Duquesne at Pittsburgh.

Laney Is suffering from blood poisoning. Estes At Fullback Otherwise the Baptists are In fairly good condition. Pete Estes, the sophomore halfback from Cullman, has a bum shoulder, but he will start against Miami at the vacated fullback post. Estes, although lacking weight for a fullback, will make up for this disadvantage with his speed at the position regularly held down by Bondurant, a former Woodlawn High School flankman. Herman Clark, junior halfback from Alexandria, also is hampered with slight leg injuries, but he will be able to strike the Hurricane Tuesday If Coach McLane calls upon him to start.

Aubrey Gresham, the South Alabama sophomore, most likely will start at quarterback, pushing the two other signal eallerB Potts Levvy and Eddie Sweeney to halfback jobs. Both Levvy and Sweeney are triple threats. Russell Bullard, the former Florida flash serving his last campaign for Crimson colors, is picked to start as the running mate of either Levvy or Sweeney at halfbacks. Bullard, a Daytona Beach boy appearing in his home town late last year against Stetson, was crippled soon after he trotted out against the Hatters, but he will have a better chance to run up against this Hurricane from the Everglades Tuesday. He and other Bulldogs will be seeking revenge for a 7-0 trimming they received at the hands of Miami down in Florida last season.

Howard' Sixth Trip The defending city champions, go Kansas i4gs Lose -Jo West Virginia In Third Quarter PHILLIPS NOSES OUT GAME COLONELS, 7-2 v' Crimsons Roll Up 12 First Downs And Hold Woodlawn Eleven To One pered 58 yards to cross the Auburn line unmolested. But a clipping penalty nullified the run. Hitchcock Gallops That was in the third quarter. Near the end of this same period. Jimmie Hitchcock picked up a Tulane fumble, Zimmerman having muffed the ball just shy of the goal, behind his own line and ran 105 yards for a synthetic touchdown.

It was a touchhack under the rules but Hitchcock. like almost any other gridiron warrior, instinctively grabbed the ball and began to run. He wasnt the only one that had a touchdown In mind, either, for his mates began to block and Tulane's men began to tear after him. About midway, he was in the clear with Jack Holland, the only remaining man with a chance to catch the fleet Auburn back. For the last 50 yards, it was a stern chase with Hitchcock gradually drawing away, but Holland chasing him to the bitter end.

In the last minutes, the game grew unpardonably rough, principally at the instance of Dalrymple and Bo-denger of Tulane. Dalrymple was penalized 15 yards for roughing Hatfield as he completed a nine-yard gain. This gave Auburn the ball near midfield. On the next play. Bodenger was found guilty of slugging and Tulane drew a 23-yard penalty.

Bodenger was ejected. 17 First Downs To Six Tulane made 17 first downs to Auburn's six. The passing attack of both teams was fruitless, Auburn trying four, with three of them Intercepted and the other incomplete, and Tulane trying eight, having one intercepted and completing but one, that through interference which gave an 18-yard gain. In punting, Felts outklcked Hitchcock, averaging nearly 42 yards on six punts as compared with 36 for Hitchcock In 11 trials. Auburn gained a total of 173 yards from scrimmage, Tulane 313, including the pass allowed for interference.

Auburn played a thoroughly excellent brand of football, for the Greenies did not at any time bowl the Tigers over as if they were a bunch of high school lads. Hitchcock compared favorably in all-around play with any man in the Tulane backfield, doing more things In acceptable style than any of his opponents. Neither Harkins, captain and center, nor Sleepy Brown, sterling sophomore fullback, played for Auburn In the second half, Harkins having been in poor physical shape at the start and Brown suffering an Injury after the opening. Dalrymple was the outstanding figure in the Tulane performance. He Is still an end worth anybody's money.

Felts And Zimmerman Of the backs, Felts and Zimmerman looked to be the real article, with the formers punting of tin exceptionally high order and both his and Zimmermans ball-carrying good enough for a championship contender in any society. The Greenies are all set to undertake the big job that awaits them here next Saturday. Admitting that Bierman did not care to arouse his lads to a particularly high pitch for Auburn, the Groenies should be much more formidable against Georgia, and, of course, they must be. For Georgia, it must be remembered, clicked rather well itself without any great necessity for running up a score. After seeing both Georgia and Tulane lick the Tigers, it is rather tempting to draw a comparison between the Bulldogs and the Greenies on the basis of their Auburn games, but an opinion along that line will have to be studied over a while before being expressed.

Lineups: Tulane Dosolini, left end; Deco-ligny, left tackle; Bodenger, left guard; Roberts, center; McCormack, right guard; Upton, right tackle; Dalrymple, right end; Dawson, quarter; Zimmerman, left half; Glover, right half; Kelts, full. Auburn Egg, left end; Arthur, left tackle; Burt, left guard; Harkins, center; Jones, right guard; Prim, right tackle; Grant, right end; Davidson, quarter; Hatfield, left half; Hitchcock, right half, and Brown, full. BY PRICE HOWARD A gallant eleven of Woodlawn Junior Colonels, resisting all except one of numerous serious threats, held the big Phillips Crimson-shirted I gridmen to a bare 7-2 verdict Saturday morning at Legion Field in a slashing battle to inaugurate competition among Birmingham's Big Three high school teams. Phillips threw up a stubborn defense. The Crimsons, in limiting Woodlawn to no first downs, rolled up 12 themselves and threatened to score no less than 10 times.

Twice they were backed up against their own goal line, however. Dave Thompson, a 145-Vound pack Tulane scored, only two came as a result of a concerted, sustained charge of any considerable distance, and one of those was momentarily checked by interception of a pass, with the interception counteracted by an Auburn fumble and a resumption of the Greenie advance. Bernie Bierman, who did not underestimate the Auburn assignment, although naturally not attempting to point for the game with the all-important Georgia contest only a week away, threw his first team, with but one or two exceptions, into the affray and did not alter his front except in the natural course of substituting near the end of each The big splashes of the Green Wave were responsible for virtually all the Tulane yardage, as well as three touchdowns. The most notable weakness of the starting lineup was at left end, where Foots Decoligney, the celebrated hurdler, held forth Instead of Jack Holland. Decoligney apparently is tar better hurdler titan an end.

When the Auburn lads began to do things in his vicinity. Holland was called out and stopped the leak. At that. Decoligney was left in the game, going to a tackle where he did a much better job as sub for the injured Mo-Cance, veteran tackle whose hand is In a cast. McCance took a brief turn near the end by way of testing his readiness for the Georgia battle.

Holland Goes In After Holland had taken his post opposite Dayrmple, the other of the famous Tulane flankmen, business began to pick up. Even so, the only really had kick that Jimmie Hitchcock uncorked all afternoon was a prime factor in Tu lanes first score. Late In the second period, Jimmie sent up a short one that went out of bounds on Auburns 13, gaining but five yards when the Tigers were already backed up against the goal lina With the assault ready to drive home. Auburn braced like a man and in successive line plays by" Zimmerman, then Glover and Glover again, Tulane inarched but five yards. Fourth down and five to go for a first down, about eight for a touchdown, Dawson resorted to one of his fancier plays, something that Bier-man would have liked to save for Georgia.

But the Tigers had warded off all other methods of attack and Dawson invoked a lateral pass that caught the enemy napping. He took the snap from center, then flipped to Zimmerman at his right. Zimmerman dashed for the last white stripe and lacked but a foot of making It. Felts bucked it on over. Glover's placement for point was wide, but Egge, of Auburn, was offside and the point allowed.

More of a restless offensive was shown in the second touchdown that followed quickly. Tulane took one of Hitchcocks punts at Its own 42 and negotiated the 58-yard Journey without halting. Zimmerman reeled off 27 yards of the route in a first thrust, then Felts joined him in line bucks. The lateral, too, was invoked again, Dawson flipping to Zimmerman in a 11-yard gain. Three straight first downs placed the ball on the Auburn five and Zimmerman eventually plunged across, with Glover adding the point by placement.

In the last quarter, the Greenies steamed up on their 35 and had chugged dangerously close to the Auburn goal before Davidson pulled in a Tulane pass on his own 13. Hatfield Fumbles But Hatfield fumbled the ball back to Tulane, whose omnipresent Holland fell on It at Auburns 18. Zimmerman slashed through for nine, then Felts got six and a first down on the Auburn two. Felts got the rest, too. and Zimmerman place-kicked the point.

Tulane appeared to be none too efficient In the goal zone, for Auburn stopped a Greenie drive at the 20-stripe In the first quarter, then checked a subsequent assault at the 3 5. These were Immediately preceding Hitchcock's poor punt that gave Tulane the chance that it took. In the third, a Tulane fumble on Auburn's 26 ended a potential scoring march, Auburn recovering. Then, In the same quarter, Tulane recovered an Auburn fumble on Auburns 22-yard but threw the opportunity away by fumbling, right back. The game was devoid of any longdistance sprints for scores, that is, scores that counted.

As a matter of fact, spectators were treated to a pair of heroic but futile performances. Zimmerman, Tulanes successor to Bill Banker, broke through the line and cut. back to his right and scam- Prepare Now for Slippery Weather i MORGANTOWN, W. Nov.

M. College football teams ambition to win the presence of a large crowd hero for Dads' Day by trouncing the Maroons by a 25-7 score. The visitors had the better of the Maroons all the route, yielding nothing to them except occasional short gains, few of which were scoring threats. Starting off with a lot of defensive power, the Maroons by getting the hotter of a punting duel kept the hall deep in Henderson territory most of the first quarter, but faltered before the smooth running Reddle attack in the second quarter to trail six-to-nothlng at the half. The real beginning of the Maroons undoing was In the third period when Thompson fumbled a punt on his own 15-yard line, Dalrymple recovering for the Reddies.

leeks on a series of line bucks playing to the weak side smashed over for the second score. A long pass, Meeks to Dalrymple, that was taken on the two-yard line and carried on overcame in the first to start the scoring. Another pass, Meeks to Summerville, resulted In the third touchdown. Bridges 8cores The Maroons averted a whitewashing in the final period when Edward Bridges made a beautiful 70-yard run from scrimmage for the Maroons' only touchdown. He added the extra point by dropklcklng between the bars.

Henderson, not contented to play a defensive game, came back strong in the final period to score another touchdown on a long pass. Broom to Smith, was good. Johnson place-kicked the extra point to make the score 25-7. The game ended with Henderson in possession of the ball. For the Maroons, Bridges, Horn and Lenoir were most effective in the backfield with Thompson doing some nice passing.

Mathews at tackle, Goussett at center, Cox at tackle and Scales at end showed to good advantage. Henderson's backfield showed a strong attack behind the powerful line. Horns broken field running, and the work of Meeks In plugging the line and heaving passes were outstanding, while the big tackles and guards were constantly spilling Maroon plays. Passes Used Freely The Maroons were able to make only seven first downs against 13 far the invaders. Both teams used passes freely with medium success.

Horn was very effective in catching Maroon heaves, once taking a long one, getting by two men to be finally dragged down on Hendersons 15-ygy) line, Qet rid of your Risky Rubber for 13 yards and first down to reach the nine-yard line. Thompson skirted left end for five yards. In two bucks, Hoster plunged across. Teal missed the extra point from placement, but It was allowed when the Colonels were offsides. Phillips threatened a few minutes later.

After an exchange of punts, Dave Thompson reeled off two consecutive first downs with runs of 9 and 15 yards, but the drive was nipped. Then it was that Woodlawn's two Thompsons worked their 32-yard pass to pierce Phillips territory. Hoster stopped this, however, by intercepting a pass on his own 26. Early in the third quarter, Woodlawn broke through for its safety. James Thompson, standing well within his own territory, punted 48 yards to the Crimson nine-yard line and a flock of Colonels tossed Hoster on the five-yard stripe.

Robert Wright slipped through and blocked Wills punt behind the goal. Wills recovered it there for the safety. Wills was the only Crimson near the bounding pigskin. Teal Nips Threat age of dynamite, replaced Wills twice at quarterback and several times he exploded the fireworks, but the final touch to his apparent touchdown gallops was missing. He lugged the pigskin repeatedly in the final quarter.

Three times in this period he alternated with Teal and Hoster to drive within Woodlawns 20-yard stripe, but always there was something in the way. Many times It was a penalty. Phillips was penalized 10 times, four of them for 15 yards each, totaling 90 in all. Coach Blane's eleven was set back three times for five yards each. The downtown team also played wide awake football, recovering the first three of Woodlawns four fumbles.

It was from the third of these recoveries that Phillips marched to its lone touchdown in the second quarter. Some beautiful punting by James Thompson, rangy Colonel fullback, often tossed the Crimsons back into their own territory and repulsed scoring threats. It was a 48-yard punt that set the scene for Wood-lawn to score its safety In the third period.
