Tew, Noonan Star In 'Bama Scoring Spree Crimsons Run, Block Like They Mean Business For Vol Game McCLURKIN (EHD) LINE OF SCRIMMAGE TIOWcLL (H 8 BY BOB PHILLIPS UNIVERSITY. Oct. 12-The University of Alabama's Crimson Tidesmen crushed Southwestern Louisiana Institute's Bulldogs here this afternoon by a score of 54 to 0 nd in so doing showed encouraging signs of having got down to their knitting. You might have suspected the lads had made up, their mind to give the Tennessee gang a run for their money at Knoxville next Saturday, the way the Alabama backs were running and the linemen were blocking. Running and blocking, that is.

after the first three or four minutes. Alabama started sluggishly, and it looked suspiciously like a repitition of the South Carolina and Furman games for those few minutes. The Tide had the ball twice without getting anywhere near midfield, then on the third possession, the procession began Alabama scored eight touchdowns, one in the first, two in the second, two in the third and three in the fourth, with only Lowell Tew making more than one. Frank Thomas at long last unveiled his sensational freshman fullback. Red Noonan, whom stiff opposition in the first three games, had compelled him to keep somewhat under wraps.

Noonan scored, only one of the touchdowns but he, churned up 116 yards in 15 carries' for an average of 9.1. Even so, he was second in average to Tew. who Clicked off 93 yards in 11 runs. Here's the how, who. when and where of the Alabama touchdown parade: Tew skirted the Bulldog right end for 38 yards midway of the first period This advance started from the Jide 45 where a 21-yard punt re-Wn bv Harry Gilmer had placed the hail Norwood Hodges made two nice runs just before Tew scored Bob Hood took a pass from Johnny August for a 16-yard gain and touchdown near the end of the second quarter.

This drive begamnear midfield. Red Noonan scored from the one-yard line just before the half ended This drive also started near mid-field. with 16 yards of the distance covered by a pass from Gordon Pettus to Jim Grantham. Gilmers pass to Ted Cook accounted for 22 more, putting the ball on the five Tew scored from the six-yard line rarlv in the third quarter, culminating an 85-yard march Noonan had several fine carries in this drive, gaining upward of 50 yards Fred Grant went over from the Auburn's Ace Pitches Three Pay-Off Passes He Hits Line For Other Score As Billikens Go Down At Legion Field BY ZIPP NEWMAN LEGION FIELD BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Travis Tidwell, the sensational triple threat star, threw three touchdown passes and scored the other in Auburn's 27-to-7 victory over St.

Louis Univnpsity here today He failed to sweep out the stadium. Auburn started with two touchdowns in the second and tapered off with single touches in the third and fourth. The first drive carried 40. the second went 51 in seven plays, the third 72 and the final touchdown took one play a pass from Tidwell to Williams, who iaterallerl the ball to Don Brause, who skirted 53 yards down the sideline. St.

Louis stalled twice in the last I of the first period and the beginning of the second, scoring in the final period after Lee Albert took a pass away from Teedie Faulk on Auburn's 34. Auburn won the game through superiority in the air and giving the St. Louis tackles a going over. Auburn had a total of 191 yards on the ground to 188 for the Billikens. Mundwiller, Dolan and Zipfel, who was put out of the game along with Holly Mitchell for fighting in the fourth period, did the ground gaining for the Billikens.

Auburn never gave Broeg and Jack Rooney a chance to do any fancy flinging, w-hile Tidwell was given beautiful protection and plenty of time to pass. Here was probably the big difference in the two teams. Travis Tidwell, the nation's No. 1 offensive star, who picked up 222 i yards against Furman, gained 70 yards in 13 tries, completed 10 out of 18 passes for 146 yards, three of them touchdown pitches. Tidwell not only was an offensive star but a great defensive player.

AI Mundwiller, Mel Zipfel. a ball of fire, Fred Broeg. Harry Sortal, Vernon Kenny and Pete Wisman were outstanding for St. Louts. Three heroic plays kept the Tigers from piling up a higher score, injuries weakened the Billikens at tackle, with the Tigers ploughing inside the tackles and outside the guards.

Auburn was a greatly improved team over a week ago with Jack Cornelius and Jimmy Rose back in the lineup. Tom McKinney, former Woodlawn star, played almost all the way, playing a bang-up game He had some good assistance from Andrew Douglas with Co-Capt. Pharr out with a sprained ankle Teedy Faulk and Sam McClurkin were very good at ends. McClurkin caught five passes, good for one touchdown and 69 yards. Ali of the Auburn backs ran hard Running second to Tidwell was Russell Inman, who picked up 50 yards.

He was a late reporter, but in the Furman and St. Louis games, he showed his old form as at Enslev High, where he was rated one ofthe all-time Ensley backs. Al Mundwiller, who caught the Tigers over-shifting, made the longest run for the Billikens. 41 down the sideline and but for Travis Tidwell, reversing his field, after over-shifting, he would have been long gone. The crowd of 12,000 was much impressed with Auburn's speed and fast charging and tackling.

The St. Louis players were loud in praise of the Tigers, proclaiming them the best team they had played. The Billikens came on the field at 1:55 and went through their setting up exercises in the north end zone They were strikingly attired in sky blue jerseys and white pants with a dark seam down the side.
