(News staff photo by Roy Field. Quarterback Clay Walls threw. Halfback Coaches agree Tiders never let up I'd just liae to name the first eleven as playing good ball and then go on down from there, Whit remarked.

WE HAVE SOPHOMORES who are making costly mistakes. But. they' are trying and you have to give them credit for that. You know when you put sophomores in the game that the inexperience will hurt but, we have to take that chance." Whitworth praised the work of Halfback Marshall Brown, Quarterback Clay Walls, End Dan Coyle and Guards Max Kelley and Jim Cunningham. I thought Walls did another fine job for us.

said Whitworth. That boy is a fine football player and Brown really7 showed me something today Both Brown and Walls are sophomores and Whitworth is planning big things for them next season. Fullback Dickie Mattison, Jimmy Thompson, the Bessemer boy who broke Bama's back with a 28-yard pass interception for Techs second score. Halfback George Volkert and Guard Franklin Brooks as outstanding for the winners, That Stone boy looked good to me, Dodd replied in answer to a. question about the opposition's best.

He always seems to play7 a top game against our boys. TECH CAME OUT of the game in good shape and Dodd figures everybody but Fullback Ken Owen will be ready7 for the all-important Georgia game two eeks awray. Stan Flow'ers, Dodds great sophomore halfback, Tackle Allen Ecker and End Ted Smith missed the Tide game due to injuries. Dodd will let the Jackets off until Wednesday and hopes those three will be ready by then. There is no rest for Alabama.

Miami comes next, but Whitworth hasnt even given that game a thought. I have been living from day to day7 and haven't considered that game yet, said Whit, who seems to be standing up under the losing strain very well. I think Whits spirit is just amazing under the circumstances, said Dodd. I know hes a fine football coach and will get them back up. Dodd is right on that count.

The Tide is down this season, but if the sophomores come through and Whit gets some help from the freshmen things will be different next year. Alabama was within striking distance in the fading minute when Whitworth had to pull Walls out. He hurt that finger again and had to out. Thats the only7 bad injury7 we received though, Whit mentioned. Although the victory didnt cinch a bowl bid for Tech it sent the Engineers another step closer.

This bowl picture is certainly7 muddled now, said Dfedd. Our boys definitely7 want to go to one and we feel that the Georgia game will make the difference." Dodd said he didn't know which bowl the Tech players would prefer should they get a bid to more than one. However, it is thought that the Engineers would take the Sugar Bowl bid over the Cotton Bowl if both were offered. The Tech coack picked out BY GRANTLAND RICE II News sports writer Alabama never quit despite the odds. That was one point of agreement between Tide Coach J.

B. Whitworth and Georgia Tech's Bobby Dodd after the Jackets had shaken their Legion Field jinx for a 26-2 victory Saturday afternoon. I'll quarantee you Alabama never quit against us out there, said the affable Dodd. We are really glad to get by this one. Alabama was hitting some mighty hard licks.

Our kids never stopped trying, said Whit. I thought it was out best second half performance of the season. If you took away the blocked punt and interception there in the first half it would have been a close one. "But, Tech has a better club than we do. I couldnt single out any one of their players.

Tech spotters give Hy an earful Minor cheerleaders These are the girls who led the cheers for the Minor High School football team this Fall. From the left, first row, are: Nickey Bauer, Sue McCleskey and Quillieteen Perkins; standing, Barbara Bell, Peggy Hinkle, Patsy Gilchrist and Sara Hilton why visiting spotters will get as excited as if something were at. stake as critical as Joan of Arc at the stake when their own team has surrounded the opposition with as many points as there are of interest in the world today7. If my ears were a bit more battered. I could sorter flap em, take off and flv from the stadium here to the S.

G. N. comes 77 again. They were shouting excitedly7 into the transmitter. An unnecessary hook-up they could have been heal'd down on the field with their natural voices, NOT A GREAT DEAL was learned here Saturday7 except that the Tide has far to go in its way back and that vaunted Tech can play7 some pretty dumb football at time'.

Football is a grand and glorious spectacle though you leave your spectacles at home, which I did Saturday7. Ive got on an emergency pair from my7 favorite 5-and-10, and perhaps Id better stumble on down the rampways while I still have daylight to stumble in. STILL. CAN'T understand Showdown brewing over TV football DES MOINES. Nov.

12 UP) Events in Iowa continued Saturday to move toward a possible legal showdown over National Collegiate Athletic Assn. 'NCAA) policy on telecasting of college football games. In the face of an NCAA ban The Big Ten television committee has said it is exploring the legal possible to prevent unauthorized football television. Another Iowa CBS television outlet. WMT-TV, of Cedar Rapids, abandoned its scheduled Mississippi fights off Houston to win, 25-11 on any Iowa telecasting of Sat-, afternoon adventure program By HENRY VANCE The Crimson Tide braced itself in the second half here Saturday afternoon.

But the tornado had passed Golden Tornado, that is and had left wreckage all over the field. You cant wade through rubble, littered shingles, fumbles, intercepted passes, drum majors, helmets, window7 casings and captive airplanes and the like when your foe has established an insurmountable lead, and do much good at it. As a consequence Alabama had to content herself with a replica of my first pin a safety while the Wreck was recording 26. The Georgians got tit of those points in the first half, and were played almost to a standstill in the second semester. THUS, THE A IN WRECK overpowered Alabama, 26 to 2.

I sat right next to a couple Of Tech employes who were vdlling instructions into a phone transmitter all afternoon. They were as wild-eved as if Tech had been trailing by7 three or fan touchdowns. They kept yelling into the phone: Have Bozo move up 10 of 15 feet in the secondary Watch that spread. Thats the Omaha defense be on the lookout, for it. Man, here regional CBS telecast of the game would not be released in Iowa today because of an unauthorized telecast of the lowa-Minnesota game at Iowa City last Saturday by station KRNT-TV of Des Moines.

The NCAA announcement said CBS had failed to give assurance against future violations. CBS replied that its contract with the Big Ten granted it the right to carry the Illinois game in Sioux City and that it was contracturally obligated to furnish the program to KVTV. Statistics H.
