The Commodores were especially sharp in the first half, in which they amassed a 20 to 0 lead.

Al-j though clearly outmanned, the Tigers continued to show enough of- i fense to score on the best of them. Bill Tucker, Auburns sopho- more quarterback, completed a 71-yard touchdown pass in the third period to another sophomore, Halfback Bobby Briggs, then placekicked the extra point. The Tigers outscored the Com-; modores in the second half. Van- SANFORD FIELD, Oct. 29 Alabama didnt beat Georgia in the statistics.

Alabama beat Georgia two touchdowns to one in an offense game that saw Georgia gain a total of 339 yards to Alabamas 254 yards a difference of 85 yards. Georgia ground out eight first downs running with the ball for a total of 183 yards. Alabama had nine first downs for a total of 126 yards. Georgia threw 20 passes, completing nine for 156 yards. Alabama threw 19 passes, completing 10 for 128 and one touchdown.

Alabama didnt have a pass intercepted. The Crimsons picked out three Georgia passes. Georgia punted six times for an average of 34.8 while Avinger booted the ball seven times for 284 yards and an average of 40.5. There was very little hauling back the punts. Georgia returned five for 38 yards and Alabama returned three for 21.

So the protection on punts was very good with no headaches. Despite a slippery gridiron there were only three fumbles all by Georgia. For once Alabama didnt make mechanical mistakes one reason for the Crimsons winning. Alabama played a variety of defenses with Georgia sticking to the seven-man line and a two-two secondary. Tom Calvin was Alabamas high yardage man.

He ran 13 times, picking up 42 yard. J. D. Roddam ran seven times, gaining 23 yards. Salem ran 21 yards on five carries.

Floyd Reid was high man for Georgia. He ran eight times, pick- ''WHO'S GOING TO TAKE IT?" -They all seem to be getting the same idea about the Navy pass tossed against Notre Dame Saturday afternoon at Baltimore as the Irish were winning from the Middies, 40-0.

handing the line A big holi opened in the Navy BY DAVE CHEAVENS WACO, Oct. 29 (P) Baylor rode high in the ranks of the nations undefeated teams, smothering Texas Christian 40 to 14 with a potent offense and a tight defense Saturday. Texas Christians Lindy Berry had an off day. Baylors Adrian Burk and his pass-snatching mates were at their best, and that was the ball game. Baylor counted one touchdown in the first period, three in a big second quarter, one each in the third and fourth, plus a safety in the second to give the Horned Frogs their second setback in Southwest Conference play.

A T. C. U. FUMBLE EARLY in the game and a recovery by Tackle Wesley Roberts led to Baylors first touchdown. Big Frank Boydstun rammed through from the nine to score.

Frank Dickersons placement was wide. Baylor drove 67 yards to score the next touchdown. It was touched off by a 27-yard pass from Burk to End Stanley Williams. Buddy Parker tallied from the 17 and Dickersons try for point was good. A 44-yard heave from Burk to Dudley Parker, standing in the end zone, gave the surging Bruins another tally.

Burk then passed 42 yards to James Jeffrey on T. C. U.s three and Boydstun again powerd over for the score. Both tries for extra point failed. Rupert Wright tackled Ottis Mc-Kelvey of T.

C. U. in the end zone for a safety and two more points A pass from Burk to Ison end a missed conversion attempt ran the Baylor total to 33. Baylor was using many reserves and the Frogs surged back for two touchdowns in the last quarter. The first was a 46-yard drive climaxed by a scoring pass from Roy Bas-singer to Bill Elliott Homer Lud-ikera place kick was good.

BAYLOR SCORED ANOTHER touchdown in the final frame after recovering a T. C. U. fumble on the 20. Louis Gajdosik plunged over and Dickersons placement was good.

Then Marshall Alford blocked Larry Isbells punt and Keith Flowers ran 34 yards for a score, with Ludikers placement again perfect for the extra point. BAYLOR (40) Left end, i I I I a a.

They coasted from there on.

It was the 33rd straight game without a loss for Notre Dame, a new modern record. Army had shared the previous unbeaten mark with the Irish. The chief Notre Dame slasher was Ernie Zalejski, a skittering left halfback.

Alabama beat Georgia 27 to 14 in the Jimmy Nelson versus Frankie Sinkwich game in Birmingham. Georgia won in 194221 to 10 the year End George Poschner made such sensational pass catches.

The Bulldogs won again in 1944 14 to 7 There was no team at Alabama in 1943. The Crimsons beat Georgia with Charlie Trippi just getting bacl? from the Army, 28 to 14. It was Gilmer's first win over the great Trippi at Legion Field. Charlie Trippi beat Alabama here In the rain in 1946 with one of his greatest games, 14 to 0. It the year Cilmer passed eight times and didnt complete a pass.

Harry Gilmer came back to Sanford Field in 1947 and had a great day, Alabama winning 17 to 7. Alabama went on to the Sugar Bowl game, after losing the two early season games. Alabama cant forget Georgia running up 35 points in Birmingham last year. Rememberance of that score had something to do with Alabama making up its mind that the Georgia game was a must before the season ever started. The 1950 game will be played in Legion Field.

Henry Long, of Jasper. Gophers Drop From Rose Bowl Scene In Loss BY JERRY LISKA CHICAGO, 29 (JP) Minnesota stumbled out of the Rose Bowl picture Saturday to leave Ohio State and Iowa as the Big Tens best bets for a bid to the Pasadena post-season classic. The conference title race, however, whirled into a three-team snarl with defending champion Michigan, holding the key to the Rose Bowl even though the Wolverines ere ineligible to return next New Years Day. In Saturdays Big Ten football proceedings, Ohio State belted Northwestern, 24-7, to move into a first-place deadlock with Iowa which outlasted Oregon, 34-31, in a scorching non-conference battle. The co-leaders each have won three and lost one game in league play.

HOWEVER, TWO-TIME champion Michigan displayed its customary class again by whipping Illinois, the erstwhile league-leader, 13-0. That gave the Wolverines a conference record of 2-1 with Purdue, Indiana and Ohio State left on their schedule. The Ohio State-Michigan final at Ann Arbor, Nov. 19 thus probably will settle the conference race and bowl problem in one fell swoop. Ohios only other conference game is with Illinois at home on Nov.

MINNESOTAS SURPRI SING collapse as a Big Ten power and ranking bowl candidate came in a 13-7 setback Saturday by buffeted Purdue. A week ego, the Gophers lost their first game in five starts, bowing to Michigan, 14-7. Illinois with two wins, a defeat and a tie conceivably can get back in the title running since the Illini play seven league games against six each for Iowa and Ohio State.

But that would require at least an Illinois win over Ohio State, coupled with an Iowa defeat. The Illini also face Indiana and Northwestern. Standings, including Saturdays games: W. L. T.

He returned Pat Fields punt for 13 yards to Alabamas 41. It took Just four plays two passes from Salem to Melton and two lino plays by Calvin. Georgia wasnt too impressed. The Bulldogs came back with a 51 -yard drive that reached Alabamas 18. Holdnak and O'Sullivan deserve special praise for discouraging the Bulldogs.

They grounded Prosperi for an oight-yard loss. Same Old Story IT WAS LIKE all Alabama-Geor-gia games, played up to the hilt with Alabama having a little more of the offense and a little more of the defense when needed. Holdnak, Mike Mizerany, Elliott Speed, OSullivan, Bill Theris, Rebel Steiner, playing his best game of tho year, were some of tho Alabama lint haroes. Georgia showed a good guard In Ed Greenway, a sharp thorn on the defense, a fine line backer in Bodine and a very fine guard in Captain Porter Payne. The backfield stars for Alabama were Butch Avinger.

Eddie Salem, Tom Calvin, J. D. Roddam and Bill Abston. Bimbo Melton showed as a great pass receiver in the clutch. Hanging on to two consecutivo passes that meant the ball game.

Roid was Georgias hardest running back. Jack McHugh was an-othar artful runner. Prosperi, when not too badly rushad, did ail right on his passing. Its an off next Saturday for Alabama and time to get ready for three more conference games Georgia Tech, Florida and Auburn. Wallace Butts stated after the game.

Alabama played well enough to win. Georgia had quite a few opportunities but weren't just good enough to cash in." Butts wouldnt pick out any individual stars. Red Drew; "I thought it was a ball game. They were playing for keeps Drew signaled out Holdnak, Mizerany, Steiner, Speed and OSullivan as outstanding on defense. Offensively he thought Butch Avinger ran the ball club in good fashion.

He liked the way Roddam ran on the touchdown drive. He thought Salem and Calvin were outstanding throughout the game. Prosperi was better than we bad been told. It was a shame Reid had to leave the game on account of injuries as he was the best runner Georgia showed. "As far as anybody else was concerned for Georgia, with this two platoon system, I cant tell who la in there half the time.

Conanway vance that featured passes by Bill Wade and Bobby Berry, the latters a tricky affair that netted 40 yards and a first down deep in Auburn territory. Vanderbilt was given an unusual amount of heavy scrimmaging last week following the poor showing against Arkansas and it paid off. Tidwell Pushed TIDWELL WAS RUSHED harder than he has been all season. and he rarely got away for a running gain on one of his pass plays.

He carried the ball 16 times but netted only 14 yards. For this a good deal of credit can be given to Ranee Hardy and Charlie Speir, like Tidwell, former Birmingham high school players. Hardy and Speir were superb in their defensive play. Hardy was especially annoying to the Tiger passers. Despite Vanderbilt's vigorous charging.

Auburn passing picked up 164 yards net on 10 completions in 22 throws. Tidwell connected on eight of 17 throws for 84 yards. Tucker 'it two out of five for 80, including the Tiger Touchdown. Two of his passes were intercepted, however. Auburns rushing gain was 103 net, with Buddy Golden getting 19 yards in four efforts, Charlie Langner 19 in seven and Bobby Briggs 17 in three.

Auburns over-all gain was 237, quite respectable, considering the score, alongside Vanderbilts 338. Turn to Page 3, Column 2 SOUTH Alabama 14, Georgia 7. Vanderbilt 26, Auburn 7. Tennessee 35, North Carolina 5. Duka 27, Georgia Tech 14.

Florida State Tops Stetson By 33-14 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Oct. 29-(jP) Florida State University rolled over Stetson University, 33-14, in the Gator Bowl Saturday afternoon, strengthening the Seminoles' bid for their second straight Dixie Conference championship. A strong ground game and alert play on Stetson fumbles boosted F. U. to a 33-0 lead which Stetson trimmed down with two touchdowns in the fading minutes of the game.

The victory was the eleventh straight for Don Vellers crew, two of them over Dixie Conference opponents this season, It was the first conference loss for Coach Bob Trocolors Stetson team which had scored twice previously over Dixie circuit foes. Alabama supporters are known the country over for traveling on special trains. It started with Alabamas first trip to the Rose Bowl for the 1926 game against Washington. For most all the big games Alabama has played out of the state there have been the de luxe trains. The special trains have defiintely marked one era of football for Alabama.

Some say the special trains, with the automobiles and planes, are on their way out. When they are gone, it will mark the passing of a sociable phase of football that made for many pleasant hours of traveling with friends and sharing that feeling of pulling together for the team.
