It was by far the best football dish served local prep fans this season and the crowd ate it up and went away hungry for more. Phillips, the favorite, won but they did it by the skin of their teeth and from a lion-hearted Lion eleven that wont be asking any favors of anybody's prep eleven for the remainder of the season. The Lions lost Friday night just when it seemed they had the game in the bag and no fan who watched the game would be willing to spot a point if it was to do over again Saturday night. Walsh.

Phillips flashy left halfback, pulled the game out of the fire for the Raiders when he reeled Walsh booted the ball up the field to his own 40 and Revis grabbed it. headed to the left, then reversed his field and sold out for a touchdown. He added the point from placement and the West End fans went wild. That touchdown looked like the ball game until Walsh reeled off his 20-yard gallop that won the game. Walsh was the whole show in the Phillips backfield, which looked pretty spotty at times in handling the ball.

Center Holtzclaw played a great game in the Phillips line. Capt, Butch Lee was outstanding in the West End line and Fog Revis was the most impressive of a flock of Lion backs that can really scat.

Sonny Tood took over for the Decatur High football eleven Friday night at De-! catur and soundly thumped Ensley's Yellow Jackets from Birmingham 25-0. Todd was in on every touchdown drive, in either running or i passing from his left halfback po-j Starting in the opening period the Devils scored seven, added 12 more in the second and finished their scoring spree in the third with one more tally that ran the total to 25. Not once did the Jackets from Birmingham get to rolling because of the strong line the Decatur outfit had charging in.

A few minutes after the opening whistle sounded. Todd started the show for the spectators. Both teams were at a -standstill for the first 1 Season Start Provides Few Major Upsets Sewanee's One Point Win Over W. Only Place Dopesters Out On Limb NEW YORK i.Pi You dont call them upsets when one good football team beats another in a game that figures to be close, even though the winner was ranked a bit below the team it defeated. Thats why Friday's preliminaries to the seasons first big football card Saturday brought comparatively few gasps.

The only result that really stirred the fans was when Sewa-nee rallied to beat Washington and Lee, 20 to 19. Sewanee has had stlch notable lack of success in recent campaigns that it finally dropped out of the Southeastern Conference, while the Generals figured to do pretty well this season in the rival Southern loop. W. and L. hadn't figured on Earl Bearden.

Sewanee's captain, however. Bearden passed and rammed the line to pave the way for all three Sewanee scores, and after passing to Frank Walker for a tying touchdown with a minute to play, he calmly kicked the winning point. Somewhat surprising, but to a lesser degree, were Georgetown's 16-6 triumph over Mississippi and Iowa State's 7-6 decision over Denver. Georgetown figured to be good, but winning so decisively over Merle Hapes. Junie Hovious and company indicated that the Hoyas again must be rated among the best teams in the East.

Likewise Iowa State's successful invasion of Rocky Mountain Big Seven territory showed a bit more strength than was looked for. Other major Friday games ended just about as expected. Temple's strong team whipped Kansas. 31-9, in an intersectional headliner; Du-quesne, whose coach, Ruff Donnell, Friday transferred to the Pittsburgh pro Steelers. knocked off Niagara, 33-0.

and Syracuse routed Clarkson, 39-0. In the Far West, University of California at Los Angeles opened the Pacific Coast Conference campaign with a 7-6 decision over Washington State. Auburn tuned up with a 13-0 decision over Howard, and Furman, bouncing back from its loss to Tennessee, whipped Wofford, 40-19. Creighton handed Centenary its second setback, 32-20. The mighty small college team from Dayton University rolled up 75-0 against Detroit Tech.

but after that things started popping. Todd tossed passes right and left and before the Ensley team knew what was happening, the Blue Devils had the ball on the Jackets 10. Tood took the ball from this position and scored the first marker. The point was added from placement. After moving to midfield in the second period, the Decatur gang started their second goalward drive.

Todd shot a pass to Sherman, good for 30 yards, who fell on the three. On the next play it was the same combination that added six more points. Hardly before the spectators could wink their eye, the ball was in scoring position again. A pass, Todd to Sherman, was good for 50 yards, but it fell short of a touchdown by three yards. Kimbrell, left end.

ACTION SHOTS FROM AUBURN-HOWARD TILT Here are some flashlight shots of the Auburn-Howard gridiron battle Friday night at Montgomery. The Tigers won the game from Howard, 13-0. At the top Clarence Harkins, who was a star for the winners, is shown being tackled by Carl Folds, Howard tackle, after a gain of six yards on the Howard 40. Francis Crimmins 17 and James Samford (431 are shown trying to get out in front of Harkins to give him some blocking aid. John Richardson (40).

Howard center, is shown at the right, trying to get into the play. At the lower left Ty Irby is shown on his way to the second touchdown of the game. He traveled 12 yards for this counter. Dick Compton (11), Howard back, is shown making a desperate lunge for the runner. At the right Jimmy Tarrant.

Howard backfield star, is lugging leather with Jim Pharr (30), Auburn center, trying to lay hands on him. Any of Jimmy's intimate friends will recognize him from this picture, as usual he is running with his mouth wide open. ui'f 20 yards around his own midway the fourth quarter for the winning touchdown. The Raiders were on the short end of a 13-to-8 score when he made his glory gallop behind some beautiful blocking by Bill Culp, Bill Harrell and Skidmore Logan. Touchdowns by Guy Sutterer in the second and "Fog" Revis in the third quarters had given the Lions the lead after they had spotted Phillips eight points in the first quarter on a safety and a touchdown.

The safety came in the first three minutes of Lite game when Harold Whaley broke through and blocked Ed Thoringtons punt behind the West End goal line. The touchdown came when Center Claude Holtzclaw intercepted Walter Bryant's pass and galloped south 65 yards. It was a break of the game that would have taken the starch out of a less stout-hearted crew than the Lions as they had just ripped Phillips line apart in racking up two consecutive first downs and were moving deep into Phillips territory and wasting little time in doing it. The eight points the Crimsons made didnt seem to faze the Lions a bit. however.

It just sorta het em up" and made em hard to handle. A beautiful kick by Walsh, who was easily the outstanding Phillips player, set the stage for the Raiders first two points. The Lion kickoff was run back 10 yards by Walsh to his own 34. Phillips drew a five yard offside penalty and then Walsh his toe in a boot that traveled 55 yards and was down on the West End six. Ed Thorington wrent in to kick and the ball smacked Harold Whaley, Phillips end.

who was in fast, on the chest and bounced out of tlie end zone for a safety. West End started moving late in the first quarter after stopping a Phillips drive, featuring the passing and running of Jack Walsh, that carried to the Lion 26. Bryant, Guy Sutterer and Fog Revis, who did some sparkling running for the Lions all evening, sliced the Phillips line to pieces, going from their own 26 to the Phillips 35 in five plays. The Lions then drew a five-yard backfield in motion penally. Bryant faded back and rifled a pass intended for Archie Sutterer but it fell into the arms of Phillips Holtzclaw on his own 35 and he ran it back for a touchdown.

West Ends first touchdown drive started on their own 49 where Walsh had booted the ball after Phillips had stopped a West End drive that carried to Phillips eight. Bryant made three yards and G. Sutterer lost four. Then Bryant fired a pass down the middle that Butch Lee took 17 yards down the field. Lee made an elegant catch, rising high between the arms of two Phillips boys and snatching the ball out of the air on his finger tips.

A few seconds later Bryant fumbled, picked up the ball and tossed to Revis who was pulled down on the Phillips four, Sutterer went over right guard for the touchdown. Lee kick was blocked. Guy Sutterer got off a quick kick that was a honey early in the third quarter to set the stage for West End's second touchdown, the ball going out of bounds on the Phillips five. lPIt elld Donelli Is Released By Duquesne 5o He Can Take Pro Berth Howard Bullpups lose Woodlawn And Maroons Play To Alabama's Frosh Work On Fair Track Started With Races Coming Up Next Week Promising to make the Alabama State Fair half-mile race track one of the best in the country for automobile racing, engineers and workmen began operations on the broad course Saturday morning to make it ready for the two days of motor competitions next Thursday and Saturday afternoons.

Auburn streaked 50 yards in the first period and 60 in the final chapter in beating Howard. 13 to 0, in the opener for both schools in Cranston Bowl Friday night. Howard played with unusual courage, making the Tigers earn every yard they gained.

The Tigers ran up more yardage than a year ago while Howard yardage was cut considerably. The Tigers made 15 first downs to five, rushing the ball 195 yards to the Bulldogs' 93. The Tigers completed eight out of 16 passes thrown for a gain of 73 yards. Howard threw 15 passes, completing six for 55. The punting was below par for both schools.

Auburn had an average of 32 yards for six boots. Howard punted nine times, averaging 294 yards. It was the first chance for 9,000 fans to look into the new substitution rule, Jack Meagher used 34 players making 71 substitutions. Howard used 21 players, making 52 substitutions. The substitutions didnf slow up the game as many expected.

It was played in an elapsed time of two hours and 15 minutes. Give the officials some' credit for no less time. The heavy substitution make it difficult to keep up with the players coming and going. Fans will probably kick more on this score than the time required to play the game. Tarrant Hero Little Jimmy Tarrant.

Howard's passing star, was everybody's hero. He played one whale of a game with the pressure on him all the time. He was never given a chance to launch his passes without being ruihed. He got off three good ones, picking up 45 yards in running with the ball. He was second to Harkins in yards gained.

Harkins ran 16 times, gaining 47 yards, the hardest man on the field for the Bulldogs to tackle. He was most effective in slanting off tackle. Auburn's line play was fine. The Tigers were most impressive in getting off their plays with lightning speed. They look ready to go against Tulane.

Auburn's first score came midway the opening period. It came soon after a Tiger drive had flivvered on the 22 because of a fumble, a fumble recovered by Taylor. Cuffaro punted to midfield and then here Harkins got started with a 17-yard swing around right end. Winters and Tarrant stopped the next two plays and then Harkins got off a 21-yard pass to Capt Lloyd Cheatham, who had to go up high for the ball. With the ball on the 11, Reynolds made seven yards in three tries with Harkins shooting right end for the touchdown.

Harkins then converted. Bulldogs Hold In Second Auburn was on the offense through most of the second quarter but lacked the old kayo to knock out the battling Bulldogs and they were battling most of them sophomores with plenty of flame. Neither team could go anywhere in the third. Auburn made the only first down of the period. Counting penalties Auburn had to grind under 80 yards for its second touchdown.

Cuffaro got off one of the best punts of the night when he kicked to the Tigers 40-yard line from his own 17 marker. Irby and Finney and this Finney can run like a shadow made first down. Harkins made three and Auburn drew a 15-yard penalty for clipping. Harkins parsed to Grimmett for nine. Gafford passed to Cheatham for five.

Harkins sliced inside of right tackle for a first down on two plays, putting the ball on Howard's nine. An offside penalty put the ball back on the 14-yard stripe. Harkins made three and Ty Irby went through right tackle for the touchdown. Harkins missed goal. The game ended with Meadows intercepting Tarrants pass on Howard's 40-yard line.

Capt. Taylor and Frank Cuffaro stood out in the line for Howard. And the Bulldogs have come up with a promising star in Phil Winters. Both Francis Crimmins and Jim McClurkin looked good at the tackles for Auburn. The Tigers down the middle power was well bottled up by the Bulldogs Howard supporters should be proud of this young team.

It showed one thing that count most in football courage. The Bulldogs made the Tigers use lots of yardage to get two touchdowns. It is true they didnt show as much offense as last year, getting no closer than 30 yards to the Tiger goal line. Auburn may have lost Buck Jenkins. one of the best Tiger passers, for Tulane.

He hurt his shoulder 1 over in attempting to get off a pass in the second period, and never came back into the game. Lineup and summary Auburn (13 Grtraraett, left end; Crtm-mln. left tncltle; Morris. left uard; Williams, center; ArdJUo. right guard; Mr-Clurkin.

Jack Davis, publicity director for Duquesne University, said Friday that the university has released Football Coach Aido (Buff) Donelli from his contract to enable him to assume a coaching job with the Pittsburgh Steelers, National League professional football team. While school officials did not release a statement, it was understood that Davis made the announcement with their full approval. Donelli could not be reached for a statement. Davis also said that Steve Sinko, native of Minnesota and assistant coach under Donelli, would direct the Dukes during the remainder of the season.

The university has no successor in mind for Donellis post, Davis said, adding that there was no truth in reports that Duquesne intended to abandon intercollegiate football after this season. Earlier Pro Football Commissioner Elmer Layden had ruled that Donelli could not coach the Dukes and the Steelers as he had Tampa University 44, South Georgia Col- CHATTANOOGA WOODLAWN As Jenkins Is Star UNIVERSITY, Ala In their first appearance of the season Friday afternoon, Bama Baby Tiders brushed by the Bullpups from Howard College 14-0, behind the brilliant running of Bobby Tom Jenkins, former prep star from Talladega. Tallies for the first years of Bama came in the second and third quarters. The first came after a long drive in which Kenny Reese. Tide right half, and Jenkins, left half, took turn about.

in moving toward the Howard goal. Reese made his last run good for 20 yars around left end and the first Tide score. Monk Mosley entered the game and calmly added the extra point. Baby Tiders 7, Howard 0. Although Buddy Weir was playing heads-up at center for Howard, he couldnt stop Jenkins in the second touchdown drive.

Jenkins ended the drive by going over the goal on a four-yard dash around end. Sam Cain. quarterback, added the point after. Although the frosh from Howard held the Tiders at bay all of tire first quarter, the Tiders showed too much offensive power later in the game. The little Pups couldnt stand the mighty roll of the Baby Tide.

Doing good work in the Howard outfit, although losing while doing so, were Sam Cooper, left half; W. T. Hitt, quarterback, and Kenneth Bryan, fullback.
