Tulane was held for downs and Bryan took Chattanooga's kick and raced 54 yards to the visitors' 15-yard line, where he fell down from his own'speed. Henderson Rum 48 Yard In the first two minutes of the third quarter Henderson, subbing for Thomas, raced 48 yards, where he was pulled down from behind by Horns-by on the 12-yard line. Tulane then lost five yards on two plays, but a pass, Nichols, substitute halfback, to Henderson, scored the final touchdown and Dick Page kicked the extra point.

From then on Chattanooga launched a passing attack, featuring McColl, Hornsby, Shell and Hinds, that carried them deep into Tulane territory and frequently threatened to score.

Because of the reputation of the Loyola teams of the past few years and their strong showing i against Rice, a member of the South- i i western Conference, in their initial MWm Hp Hf pi game of this year, most people here- University of Chattanooga. The Greenie regulars sent their precis-ioned machine to a three-touchdown margin in the first quarter and the second, third and even fourth string players added anotner touchdown by the half and two more in the third quarter. Little Monk Simons raced to the first score in the first minute of play, around left tackle for 30 yards, almost unhindered by the Moccasin tacklers. Simons missed the try for extra point. Simons' run followed an unfortunate Chattanooga fumble by McColl.

The crowd of approximately 12,000 fans had hardly quit cheering Simons' dash when Barney Mintz tore through a gaping hole in right tackle for another touchdown, a dash of 44 yards. Mintz kicked the extra point. Tulane Drive Halted Tulane pounded through almost to the Chattanooga goal line, soon after, only to be held for downs on the abouts were inclined to give the visitors to Legion Field Friday night, an advantage over the locals. The game started off as if this impression were correct. A slow attempt to kick by Southern was by the Wolves and recovered almost in the shadow of the Gold and Black goal and it looked for a few minutes as if the husky, fast moving visitors were about to make a runaway of the game, but the Panthers did not seem to be worried in the least.

They went about the business cf holding the visitors with a determination and calmness that showed up the fine defensive ability of the team. This defensive ability was evident even up to the last moment of the game. In fact, the locals were called on to show this ability more and more as the game progressed and really proved them to be one of the best defensive teams seen in Birmingham for a long time. That slowness of Birmingham-Southern in getting off punts put tiie Panthers in a hole as it did in their first game of BY ZPP NEWMAN TUSCALOOSA There was wild-eyed excitement in Denny Stadium as the scores of the New York-Brooklyn and St. Louis-Cincinnati games were announced.

Here in one of the hottest baseball centers in the country there wa? merry-making over the Cardinals' victory and the Giants' loss. Customers were yelling what Bill Terry must sorely regret, "I didn't know Brooklyn was in the league." Most of the spectators here had seen the great "Dizzy" Dean conquered by Ray Caldwell at Rickwood Field in the Dixie series of 1931 and ever since have been for the great "Dizzy" Dean. So it did their hearts good when the Cardinals pushed out in front Saturday afternoon. Alabama University has contributed many of its graduates to professional ball. Next to football," baseball is the dish down here.

And all through the game the press box was beseiged for news of the battle fronts in Brooklyn and St. Louis. When the final news had trickled in, there was whooping and joshing. You would have thought there were many Alabama sons in the Cardinals' lineup. And if the Cards win out, this section will have a native son in the series.

"Spud" Davis, of Birmingham, who shunned an opportunity to play football to jump from a prep school to the National League is a member of the St. Louis club. Birmingham will hear all about Paul and "Dizzy" Dean. There are other players on the club to be sure but this section has a Dean complex. It all started with "Dizzy" Dean's showmanship in the series between Birmingham and Houston in the Dixie series of 1931.

Birmingham tied two defeats on "Dizzy." But no pitcher has a bigger following in all Alabama than Jerome "Dizzy" Dean the life of the baseball wars of 1934. Tennessee was up to old tricks in taking Centre to the cleaners. The Vols have speed and they are tricky. Vanderbilt was hard pressed to win from Mississippi State. Duke broke fast from the barrier, slaughtering V.

M. I. The mad-Hatters had no more than a band against Georgia the favorite of many to cop the first title in history. Washington and Lee again beat Kentucky which was no upset. Presbyterian, who plays Howard Saturday, beat a strong Mercer team by 1 point.

Tulane lived up to advance notices in parading against Chattanooga. Clemson gave Georgia Tech the tough battle expected. Auburn came through against Oglethorpe, showing more latent power and a promise of developing as the Saturdays roll by. Jack Meagher's biggest problem is getting a green backfield to functioning together. The line should finish up stronger than the 1933 line.

Auburn has gone into the Tulane game two years in a row as a lowly underdog, coming on to give the Tulane supporters the jitters. This year the Tigers will be an underdog again and can make grid history by upsetting the highly rated Green Wave. Auburn takes out after Tulane and Georgia. There is something that gets into the Tigers when they face the Greenies and Athenians. It has been handed down from one football generation to another.

It looks like Georgia will again be able to boast of a backfield with a thousand good backs. Year in and year out Georgia comes up with more good running backs than any other school in the South. "Football players, yes and all other good athletes, are the boys who in their youth had the opportunity to play on supervised playgrounds," said Frank Thomas, explaining why the west coast with its thousands of playgrounds, turns out so many fine athletes. "The boy who has an opportunity to play on a playground has an advantage over a boy who didn't when he goes out for collegiate sports," continued the professor. "He acquires in his early youth a rhythm that older boys, who were brought up in the rural sections, find hard to master after they enter college.

"Agility comes natural with a young boy if he is taught any of the fundamental movements. A boy coming into college with experience in track, basket ball, football and baseball is ready for the more advanced college sports.

Loyola Eleven Fast BOWERS WHITE BY O. K. BARNES NASHVILLE (JP) A rain-soaked field, a soggy ball and a gallant, fighting Mississippi State eleven held the Vanderbilt Commodores scoreless for three periods on Dudley Field Saturday, but Dan McGugin's boys were determined to give him a victory, and the final score was Vanderbilt 7, Mississippi State 0. The golden uniforms and the golden hopes of Vanderbilt were dimmed considerably when the Maroons hurled them back, time after time, in the shadow of the goal.

But It was a golden-haired halfback named Bobby Oliver, of Valdosta, who brought victory in the closing minutes and averted a repetition of last year's opening tie game with Mississippi State. Oliver grabbed Rand Dixon's 25-yard pass and raced down a clear field the remaining 38 yards to the goal. The play was good for a total of 63 yards, and the only sophomore on Vandy's first team, Dick i'lasman. of Florida, placekicked the extra point. The few hundred spectators who had braved the weather then saw a lethargic Gold and Black eleven come to life.

On the next kickoff Oliver ran back the ball from his five-yard line to the 50-marker. only to be tackled by Burch, the safety man, when it looked like he would score again. In the first quarter Dixon's passes to Oliver and Plasman gave Vandy first down on the four-yard line, but line plays failed and Plasman tried a placek'iek from the 18-yard marker, falling. With the ball on the Maroon 24, a few minutes later. Plasman's kick missed again.

Vandy Backs Held In the second period Vandy's chance to score fell short by inches. Sam Brown, tackle, blocked Capt. Haley's kick, and Guffee recovered for Vandy. Desperate efforts at the line met a stubborn defense, and Dixon missed going over from the one-yard luie on fourth down. The dark day and disappointing Vandy performance.

however, brought to light the much-needed "touchdown-runner'' in Oliver, and revealed that Plasman's predicted greatness as an end may be fulfilled. Sam Brown shone in the line. Mississippi State had no cause for sorrow in her defeat. Haley, Armstrong, Burch and Cassibry led a team that never stopped fighting, and Was dangerous to the end.

Loyola showed us one of the fastest teams seen here in a long lime when it comes to handling the ball behind the line. It is probably a little hard for the average spectator to understand why such a colorful team at handling the ball and keeping the ball so well concealed behind the line shoud be so outclassed in the score.

But when one pauses and looks back over the superb defensive line and end play of the Panthers, it is easily explained.

The first down record would make the visitors appear far superior to the locals, but many of these first downs were made where they did not count much for a first down deep in your own territory is not worth much where you eventually have to surrender the ball where the going gets toughest And too, the first downs made by the visitors in dangerous territory were offset by that determined defense when under the shadow of the goal. Loyola gave one of the finest exhibitions possible of being able to take the ball to scoring position and then being unable to carry it across.

This is explainable by two characteristics, one on the part of each team. That fancy passing behind the line so pleasing to the average spectator is calculated to cause the opponent's secondary to wait until thev are sure of the point of attack and enable the runner to get to or even past the line of scrimmage before the ball can be located. This enables the offensive team to make manv first Cafe three straight while Pizitz grabbed three games from NeHi.

That is why I the visitors so often had to surren "A coach can tell in short order the boys who had the privileges of modern playgrounds from the boys brought up in sections where there were no playgrounds. The boy from the playground has rhythm, proper hip balance and is shifty." 7t is hard to understand wh'y Bob Zuppke and Pop Warner were left off the all-coach pick in Liberty. If Zuppke and Warner do not belong for their manifold achievements in teaching football technique, certainly the five named don't belong. Dan McGugin and Harry Yost were left off. Certainly they belong on the team.

There was a misunderstanding or a lot of ignorance displayed in the selections. Warner has given football more plays than any other coach. Southern League clubs could well afford to pay Kid Elberfeld a good salary to do nothing but go around to each city and conduct baseball schools. It would be a wise investment for the clubs to school youngsters in the correct methods of playing baseball. Kid Elberfeld would discover enough material for each club to more than pay for his salary.

There are good baseball prospects in every Southern League city. All they need is some training under a man like Elberfeld, probably the greatest teacher baseball has ever known. I Kid Elberfeld has infinite patience. He doesn't subscribe to the old theory that ball players are born. He believes boys can be taught to play the game.

And the number of players taught and sent to the big league by Elberfeld is proof enough that Elberfeld knows whereof he speaks when he says boys can be taught to play baseball. Southern League clubs are sorely pressed by stiff competition from major league clubs in bidding for young players. They find it hard to outbid the major clubs. If there were baseball schools under the sponsorship of the league, many good prospects would be developed for the league. Jimmy Walkup, the former Baron and regarded as one of the greatest left-handers in the history of the Texas League, really carried the Pelicans to town.

Cecil Washburn, who switched his allegiance from Birmingham to Galveston, made just one prediction when he was here on his vacation. "If Galveston wins the Texas League pennant I make just one prophecy and it is that Jimmy Walkup will win the game he pitches in the Dixie series," said Washburn. "He has been used sparingly, but each time he has started he has pitched a great game." Blinkey Horn (Nashville Tennesseanl, was too badly upset over Dan McGugin's resignation to remember the sting of the Vols' defeat by New Orleans. Blinkey and Dan have shouldered arms together for many years. It will not seem like the same Commodore football show to Blinkey when Dan moves into the front office and shakes the worries of active coaching.

"Nothing could have been more dramatic than the resignation of Dan McGugin at Vanderbilt after 30 years of character building and winning football games and turn over the tutoring task to Joe Cody, his greatest tackle," writes Blinkey. "Serving the Ole Marster for the last time the 1934 Commodores have a source of inspiration which is apt to carry them safely across much of the high ground. Never again will they have a chance to march for McGugin. To make Dan McGugin's last campaign a glorious success not of necessity a championship campaign should fire the Commodores with a zeal they have not known in many years. "It will be something for the boys to say to posterity 'I played on that last McGugin "There are those who claim emotion has been strangled by sophistication, that boys are too blase to be aroused or to arouse themselves to heroics for a cause.

But if the Commodores do not come through to crown Dan McGugin's thirtieth year with some sprig of laurel, then there is no such thing as affectionate devotion. "Doing or dying for 'dear old Rutgers' seems to have gone out of fashion. But to assist in making Dan McGugin's last season a year he can recall in the sunset of his life as a treasured memory seems abundant reward for those who serve him now."

You can't afford to do this out in the open for, if It fails, you are lost. Down close to the goal, however, it is the only solution against that style of play, for if you wait your opponents will peck away enough yardage to put them across the goal. Breaks Considered Loyola probably got more favorable breaks than the locals but they did not seem to be able to cash in on them. Ability to cash in on the breaks, after a rugged defense has forced a break, is the test of a good team.

That is the reason Michigan's opponents accuse them of having only "a punt, a pass and a prayer." Southern did not have much of a punt, as a rule, but they had enough to get by. As to the prayer, if they had that it was probably in the stands, but they surely had a pass. Those first two passes were a great reversal of form on their attempts in their and IT'S THE BERG 542 544 514 New L. N. Cafe (0) WASHINGTON OP) Maj.

Neyland's present assignment is assistant to the district engineer at Nashville, but he has been at Knox-ville several months in charge of the Engineer Reserve Officers Training Corps unit at the University of Tennessee.

That arrangement was made to permit him to continue his coaching assignment at the university, begun when he was on regular military duty there. Neyland is an officer of the Corps of Engineers. The department order directed him to sail from New York on an army transport. In Panama he will perform engineer duties assigned to him by the commanding general of the Panama Canal Department. Neyland was assigned to duty with the engineers in Panama.

The War Department said ordinarily officers were placed on foreign duty for a twoyear period and that unaer present law no officer can be kept in a foreign post for longer than two years except on his own request. Saturday's army orders gave no indication that Neyland's tour of duty was out of the ordinary, or that he would be back in the United States prior to his two year's service.

PELL CITY OOPS OPENER PELL CITY Coach "Swede" Kendall's Pell City High School Yellow Jackets came through in their first gridiron clash of the season, scoring an 18 and 0 victory over Talladega County High team from Lincoln. Although a bunch of green youngsters, the Jackets showed the effects of some excellent coaching and on several occasions showed a snap and drive befitting a team that had had much more training. The Jackets scored in the first, second and third quarters, the first coming after Davis. Pell City center, had recovered a Lincoln fumble on Lincoln's two-yard line. "Bull" Savage who was easily the outstanding back of the game drove over for the marker.

The second touchdown came when Wattie Smith threw over the goal line to "Screwy" Vinson, and the final marker came late in the third quarter when the Jackets marched the ball up the field on a series of short bucks and "Bull" Savage took the ball on the Lincoln lS-yard marker and sold out around end.
