Sewanee, showing here for the second time, differed little from its exhibition against Alabama, breaks of the game against the Purple Tigers and Alabamas rather ruthless offensive as compared to Auburn's probably accounting for part of the excess pointage in the Crimson Tides favor. And then Auburn no doubt was revealing as little of its fancier football as pos sible, keeping in mind an engagement that is to be filled at Columbus a week hence with Georgia. Chet Wynne started bis shock troops, something that he has not often dared, and found the procedure I suitable enough, although It was an aggregation composed almost entirely of first-stringers, sent fresh into the affray, that broke through Se- wanee's defense for the opening touchdown, early in Ithe second period.

With them came the varsity ends, Ariall and Grant, and Molpus and Bush, varsity linemen. On the first play, Williams passed to Hitchcock, who made a 20-yard gain all told before being rushed out of hounds on the Sewanee three. The Purple's defensive right half-hack was nowhere near Hitchcock as he raced out to receive the pass.

The Purple was being hard-headed about It and continued so, stopping Hitchcock still a foot shy on a fourth down trip around right end. Sewanee punted out, Phillips getting away a nice 43-yard kick. But Hitchcock returned It to Sewance's 33 -yard line.

Gee, Castleberry and Cravens were substituted Into the Sewanee backfield at this point and after Hitchcock had been thrown for a four-yard loss, the Purple's pass defense again went awry. Hitchcock sent a 22-vard sailer into the arms of Grant, who sped out beyond Castleberry, and raced 10 yards after the catch for a touchdow'n. Hitchcocks ty for point via placement kick was no good.

First Time Over Tigers, Who Drop Sixth Game over the horizon. This pair had been put into the game, It will be remembered, in the second quarter when Auburn had the ball, and It was over Castleberry that the first touchdown pass was completed.

Presumably, he and Gee are not quite up to snuff on defense, and it looked to he bad manipulating of men that accounted for their presence when Sewanee was being shed against its own goal and kept them out ln the fourth quarter, following Patton's block of the Auburn kick, until the Plainsmen had regained the ball. Sewanee perked up near the end of the gume and drew fairly close to home but was checked before reaching the 20-yard line. Wellford threw a beautiful pass on the dead run. after dodging two or three tack-lers, to Jeffries for a 29-yard gain and a first down on Auburns 38. Gee and Castleberry bucked It through the 27 but a bad pass from center was costly and a pass over the goal line gave Auburn the ball on Its own 20, from whence the Plainsmen hauled It to Sewanee's 15 Just before the whistle.

And yet the game was conclusively Auburn all the way. The Plainsmen vastly outgained their opponents. some 350 yards to 100, and made 20 first downs to Sewanee's six, one of which was through a penalty. Beautiful Passing The Auburn passing was beautiful to behold. Hitchcock completed most of the six out of 10 tries, with Williams and Phipps connecting once each.

A total of 117 of the 350 Plainsmen yards were accumulated through the air, either a fine testimonial to Auburn's passing or a poor commentary on Sewanee's pass defense. Perhaps both. However, Phipps, who rates a shade above Hitchcock in passing, was used little in this phase of attack. Maybe he will have his try against Georgia. Sewanee's tackling grew rather ragged as the game bore oh, and Rogers and Biown were! making yards and yards In the second half after they had been tagged by one or more Purple defenders.

Rogers, ln particular, picked up many yards after he might well have been thrown. Gee was not the rip-snorting fullback against Auburn, however, that he was against Alabama. He gained afcross Sewanee's goal pass Interception by Hitchcock tfiat nullified one of the two or three halfway Sewanee scoring chances, wsas the starting point of an 83-yard nfarch up field by Auburn.

Brown and Hitchcock rrgade nine yards in two tries then, with a yard needed for first down and only five for a touchdown, the little Greenville chap went wide afonnd his left end for the score.

Ivltchcocks pass to Grant for the pelnt was knocked down, leaving the ssore at its final. 12 to 0. In three other drives. Auburn advanced the hall well Into Sewanees territory. The closest thing to a tailing attack was in the third quarter when Brown fumbled after he and Rogers had been Instrumental in advancing the ball to Sewanee's 13.

Then the final whistle nipped another potential threat, runs of 14 yards by Dupree, 35 by Hitchcock and 20 by Hatfield having carried the ball to Sewanee's 15 -yard line Just before the enfl.

Only twice until the last few minutes of play did Sewanee pass mld-fleld toward Auburn's goal. The Pjurple took the hall to Auburn's 39 early ln the game but was held and forced to punt. The best chance for action before it was too late came in the third quarter when Bull Patton, Sewanees star tackle. broke through and blocked Rogers' attempt to punt.

But they, along with the rest of their mates, were brushed aside all too frequently luter on. Hitchcock was the truckhorse or racehorse dimensions for Auburn. He carried the hall 15 times for 137 yards gain, a high average for the day of nine yards a shot.

Sewanee went through the entire 60 minutes without a penalty of any kind, a rather unusual thing In this day of rough-and-tumble football. Auburn's play was not necessarily Impressive, but thoroughly satisfying. The defense held Sewanee In check better, by far than any opponent has this year. And the offense clicked oven better ln comparison than has any team that Sewanee has except, of course, Alabama. The generalship appeared to he on the upgrade, too.

After a couple of Ineffectual line bucks to the 24-yard line, Mattox looped his pass to who went over unmolested. The Tigers bioeked Mitchells boot.

The green shifted raiders of South Ben smashed over the Navy goal three times ln the second period, but after that a stubborn Middy defense halted the fast running backs and played the powerful line on almost even terms to stop every scoring threat. The Middies, in holding Notre Dame to three touchdowns, surprised those who had expected the gold helmeted steam roller to smother them under an avalanche of scoring. Even at that, the 20 points scored by the Ramblers was not a criterion of the difference between the two teams' in everything but stubbornness of defense. Not one first down did the Navy register while the South Benders were counting 14. Tars Hold Irish Although the Notre Dame first string backs ripped the Navy line almost at will ln the first period, the Tars held when the threat entered the scoring zone.

Not until the second period did Notre Dame get the scoring range. Then it came quick and fast. An exchange of kicks gave Notre Dame possession of the ball on the Navy 33-yard Jlne. Schwartz shot a lateral pass to Banas who shot through left tackle to the Navy 15-yard line. With perfect Interference opening the entire left side of the Middy line, Schwartz dashed through and over the goal standing up.

Tho sfcond touchdown was the result of a sustained 66-yard drive that started after Devore returned the Navy kickoff to his own 34-yard line.

Schwartz shot a pass to Murphy who raced to the Navy 34-yard mark. 8ehwartx Doss It Schwartz poked through the Tar left tackle to the 15-yard line and then tossed a lateral to Banas. who was thrown on the one-yard stripe.
