pulled Geotgia Tech avvjay in fiont today and the Engined rode out a fourth qum-ter blast to beat Vandcibilt 14-6 before 19000 fans Two circus catches by the Atlanta senior coupled with a costly penalty gave Tech Its touchdowns in the second and thiid fiames Southpaw Junius Plunkett finally found the range for the Commodores in the final period but his aerial bombs quite dislodge the enemy When the second frame opened Buck Shaw icplaced Sparkplug Johnny Bosch in the baekfield with the ball on the Tech 26 Shaw sailed a long fly ball to Gibson who caught it almost falling 30 yards down-field and plunged to the Commodore 33 Bib Ison reeled off 10 on an end around Gibson and Ector hammered to a first down on the 5 and Gibson smacked over through tackle Roy Goree adding the point- In the third a Vandy player clipped while one of Plunketts punts was in the air and this break gave Tech the ball on the Vandy 39 Bosch Ector and Goree ripped and spun to the 20 Then Bosch tossed one on the dead run to Gibson who reeled on across Shaw dropkicked the point Plunkett started the Vandy payoff dnve from his 20 by sweeping right end for 10 He passed 14 to End Bob Bell and roomed one 33
