The Crimsons downed the Bulldogs 34-0 with a varied attack in displaying fine offensive power. Despite a stubborn Baptist defense the Capstone scored at least once in every quarter. CHARLIE HOLM.

Alternately sluggish and swift, the Crimson Tide flowed to the needful extent here Saturday afternoon against Howard College. The Bulldogs were given a 34 to 0 beating about as expected. The first team played the first and third quarters only, and in reality the best 11 men were on duty less than half the game, as nei BY ZIPP NEWMAN BUCKS DEFEAT INDIAN 6 TOO AS SOPHS STAR Ohio State Speeds Along Toward League Title Before 67,397 SID LUCKMAN STARS AS YALE BOWS TO LIONS Columbia Back Stands Out In 29 To 14 Victory Over Blue Eleven TULANE STADIUM, New Orleans, La.

Neyland In Game With Scrapping Opponents BY KENNETH GREGORY KNOXVILLE (iT) To the mingled cheers of 13,000 patrons, Tennessees Volunteers soared from behind Saturday to hand scrapping Clemson College a 20 to 7 setback in a game replete with thrills. When Maj. Bob Neylands starting eleven fell back under a power drive of 64 yards to the payoff stripe by Clemson, Tennessees shock troops, gener-alled by George Cafego, the West Virginia flash, reversed the order Cadets Trample Kenmore, a fine triple-threat back, and the great Milton Howell sat on the side line with an injured shoulder after the first period. It was quite a blow to Auburns resourcefulness with Kenmore and Howell out of that inferno of heat, vicious Mitchell racked up a touchdown Alabama and Tulane authorities will ask federal relief from the burning drouth that has laid waste good touchdown getters. Saturday was hotter than the hinges of hades and it was twice as hot down on the field where the tackling was terrific tackling and hard blocking and the linemen butted each other i Coach Jack Meagher was happy around like those playful Rocky over the outcome.

Injuries made it advisable to keep them on the bench if possible. Pig Davis, substitute to Fullback Charlie Holm, was the blight star of the Alabama offensive. The chunky Arkansas lad made two of Alabama's five touchdowns and gained 153 yards in 15 runs, an average of more than 10 per attempt.

The second team, so-called (it had George Zivich, who really is a regular and who starred against Southern California), accounted for three of Alabamas touchdowns, making two of them in the second quarter when the Tide spurted to its best advantage. Zivich himself got the first of these, midway of the period, breaking off his own right tackle and then sweeping wide and down the sideline for a 43-yard touchdown trip. Hal Newman, substitute end. contributed a brilliant block shortly after Zivichs dash began to remove one of two Bulldogs threatening his progress. Georgie-Boy outstepped th? other.

Howard received and punted on second down. On the second scrimmage, Davis tore off left tackle and down the sideline through a swarm of Bulldogs to score from his own 46-yard line a 56-yard scoring sprint that Red Grange would have been proud of. Davis pranced like a twinkle-toeing halfback as he clicked off the white stripes. He had good interference but much of his advance was the result of sheer cleverness, the like of which is seldom seen in a fullback. Alabama fiddled around a good deal before breaking the ice.

Several punts were exchanged between Charlie Boswell, of the Tide, and Clyde White, of the Bulldogs, before Alabama swung goalward in the opening period. Starting from approximately mid-field, the Tide was across the Howard line in eight plays, most of the gains being comparatively short. Boswell took the ball for 12 yards and first down on the Howard 30 for the largest single effort, and three plays later Holm ran 11 for first down on the 15.

Backed by a sturdy, dogged eleven which blocked for him furiously, the Lions senior halfback scored one touchdown and set up three others as Columbia tallied once in the first period, twice in the second and once in the fourth. The light blue showed its superiority early. Luckman put the ball in play on Yales 40 after running back a kick 14 yards in the first. With Luckman slashing at the blue tackles and bombing the secondary with short flat passes Columbia went to tlie three-yard line. Luckman crashed over tackle for the score.

The Elis scored when Bill John blocked a kick on the Columbia 16 and galloped over in the seme period. Humphrey converted and Yale took the lead for the only time. In the second period. Luckmans return of a punt, a pass and two running plays put the ball on the 13. Radviias skirted end and scored.

With the ball on the Yale 35, Luckman passed over the goal line to Frank Stulgaitis. His last air raid came in the fourth. He ran from the Yale 41) to his own 37, and passed to Art Radviias on the Yale 10. Another pass, from his 20 to Gerhard Seidel, put the ball on the three and the latter smashed over for the final touchdown. Lineup end Nummary: Columbia (29)- Htulgaltl.

A 10-yard touchdown pass from Sophomore Jimmy Sexton to Soph-mores and a couple of Ohio sopho-yard jaunt, constituted the only sustained drive made by the Bucks. The Hoosiers piled up a 16 to 6 edge on first downs, outgaining the Bucks 144 yards to 63 by rushing and 121 yards to 74 through the air.

Two Indiana sophomore substitutes, Joseph Tofil and Joe Nicholson. provided the Hoosier punch in the second half. They ripped through the big Scarlet line almost at will.

Fairchild Outstanding Auburn should have just as fine line play as last year, if what Getty Fairchild and Ernest Mills showed Saturday is a fair sample of what to expect from them in the future. Fairchild, a sophomore, from Anniston, was the outstanding lineman on the field. He backed up the line like the three powers backed up Hitler.

The Greenies called him the great smear. He smeared so many of them trying to go through the line. Mills was rugged enough to offset some of Howells loss. He will be a tough customer to deal with his first blood against a 200-pound line. Red Dawson and Jack Meagher substituted by nines.

They kept fresh players in the game all the way. It was no place for a tiring player. Tulane flashed a fine end in Ralph Wentzel. a great tackle in Ray Miller and a hard, fast-stepping back in Bronco Brunner. The Tigers must have used barbwire fencing to hem up Brunner, the hardest-rum, ng back on the field.

Brunner ripped Capt. Bo Russell's kickoff back up the field to Tulanes 30. Brunner hit right tackle for four and -Milton Howell recovered lers fumble at the 34-yard line. Sauer hit Haynesworth for a yard loss on the first play the Tigers ran. OGwynne lost three on a spinner at center, Bernie Smith knocked down a pass intended for Whatley and the ball skidded off Kellys foot for a yard, going out of bounds on Tu-lan's 39 yard-line.

Auburn was right back on Tulane's 43-yard line, ready to go when Howell and Wolff swopped in on Sauers second fumble. Over anxiousness cost Auburn a five-yard penalty. Bronco Brunner batted down a pass McGowen failed by inches of completing to Max Harrison. A pass to right from Walker to McGowen was good for 12 yards, after O'Gwynne had picked up four on a spinner. Auburn ripped the left side of the Tulane line for another first down and the attack bogged down when OGwynne lost five yards in two plays and two passes failed to click.

lane in the first half when two Tulane fumbles gave the Tigers a chance to go places. Tulane's right aide broke up both drives. Auburn had its back to the wall twice in the second half. Once when Bronco Brunner took the kickoff on his five-yard line and ran the ball to Auburn's 15-yard line. Here the Tigers threw a superb goal line defense, throttling the Green Wave's threat on the two-yard line.

In the fourth period a blocked punt gave the Green Wave a gold-plated opportunity to drive in from the 29-yard line. Stancil Whatley smeared the Greenies playhouse by plucking a forward pass out of the air on Auburn's 11-yard line. Tulane held Auburn at its 40-yard line in the closing minutes and almost threw the ardent Tulane sup-I porters into hysterics when they put together two of the three first downs, going to Auburn's 27-yard line where Brunner's attempt to wing home a haymaker pass to Wenzel missed fire on the last play of the game. Statistic Tell Story The old statistics tell the story of the third scoreless tie between the ancient rivals. Tulane averaged one more than Auburn on its 45 plays to 60.

Auburn gained 127 yards to Tulanes 118. Tulane had a net gain of one yard over Auburn. The Greenies had no passing attack. They fired eight blanks. Auburn hooked up three connections out of 16 attempted for a gain of 44 yards.

With a little more luck Dick Mc-Gowen could have winged over a couple touchdown passes. There was little to choose between the punting, which was good for distance. Tulane punted 11 times, averaging 44 yards. If either Nyhan or Cassibry had been good at placing their shots it would have been a amaging afternoon of punting. Auburn kickers averaged 36 on a dozen boots, two of them being well placed.

Tulane was good on returning punts, hauling them back 91 yards worth. Tulane received the kickoffs twice, returning them for 108 yards, one for 81 that almost broke the torrid drouth. Auburn showed it had the cour- age of a lion in twice stopping Tune scoring chances that blossomed irth like Summer lightning. Bron- Brunners 81-yara dash would live beaten most teams. It onl of proceedings, With Cafego, 170 pounds of gridiron dynamite, running wild and passing all over the field, Tennessee's rally produced touchdowns in each of the last three periods, while the defensive setup thwarted all further scoring threats by the Southern Conference team.

Clemson, surprise victor over Tulane a week ago, went down fighting. The Tigers, with big Don Willis, Bob Bailey and Banks McFad-den bearing the brunt of the offensive, staged a spectacular 66-yard march late in the fourth period only to be checked at the Tennessee goal and came right back with another threat that faltered at the 30. The first period saw the teams battling mostly between the 30-yard lines. A 14-yard pass from Bailey to Black, intermingled with line smashes by Willis carried the Tigers to the two-yard line arid Willis bucked over center for the score. Red Pearson added the extra point.

Neyland's sophomore-dotted team took the kickoff and evened the tally when Sophomore Bob Andridge raced 59 yards to the goal. Cafego added the extra point. The Tennessee "shock troops remained in at the start of the second half and near the end of the third period scored the Vols' second touchdown on a drive that netted 57 yards in six plays. Leonard Coffman, a substitute, dived over center for the marker after Cafego had gone to the one-foot line. After being throttled on an offensive that carried to Clemson 's four-yard line, Foxx leaped into the air to grab a pass that ricocheted from the hands of Bailey and dashed 23 yards to score unmolested.

The extra point kick was blocked. Tennessee scored 11 first downs to nine for Clemson. gained 238 yards, rushing to 200, jnd had the edge in passing yardage by completing seven out of 14 as Clemson hit the bull's-eye for only five in 16 tosses.
