on probably the oddest gridiron In the land. The score was Penacook Panthers, 7: New Hampshire state prison, 6. A grass-covered rectangular yard, 30 yards short of the regulatirin football field, furnished the scene of activity. The hydrant, a natural hazard. was surrounded, pryamid fashion, by sundry bales of silavings from the workshop.

The railroad track ran along the east side line and the cell blocks banked the other. One goal post, made in the workshop, stood at the north end of the field. They only made one because a flagpole was in the way at the other end. The hydrant spoiled line bucks and off-tackle smashes. The railroad trscks ruined the prospects of end runs.

Imrti, (Mom A min TZ2VIOSSI ST11.171FP41 riltribe nage( sand 1141-11't 04.1kZa TRAMPLED By ALAN GOULD Associated Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 7 (R). The 'displays of football, the first a 97-yard gallop for touchdown from kickoff by Buster Mott and the other a magnificent goal-line defensive stand, enabled the University of Georgia to con- quer New York university today and continue an unbeaten march toward national championship honors. Sixty-three thousand the biggest crowd that has witnessed a gridiron game in New York this season, aaw the scrappy Georgians keep their slate clean with a 7 to 6 victory after a thrilling battle. Trailing by a touchdown.

out-rushed and outplayed, the Georgians struck their decisive blow at the outset of the third period to take the lead and then defend it with as staunch an exhibition as any metropolitan gridiron has seen in many a moon. Buster Mott, shading the slanting sun with his hands, took big Jim Tanguay's kick-off at the outset of the third period, on his 33 line. Quickly slipping behind a wedge of interference, the speedy Atlanta backfield star zig-zagged his way 30 yards. Then shot into the clear as he neared midfield. Not a violet-clad figure touched him as he completed a 97-yard dash for touchdown, aided by superlative blocking.

With the score tied. Georgia's great end, Vernon (Catfish) Smith, calmly place-kicked the extra point that turned out to be the winning margin. His performance duplicated the fashion in which Georgia overcame New York a year ago. It marked Georgia's sixth straight triumph of the 1931 season the second set-back In a row for the Violets. unprecedented heretofore I in Chick Meehan's regime.

I HALT LAST ATTACK For the rest orthe game, Georgia managed by heroic work to stand off the terrifit line-plunging and drive of the New Yorkers, featuring off-tackle thrusts by Bob McNamara and Bill Abee. The climax to this spectacular defensive exhibition came late in the final period when New after a sweeping advance of 67 yards. was stopped on Georgia's one-yard line. New York appeared headed for a certain touchdown in this sustained drive after a third successive first down was registered on Georgia's 7-yard stripe. Three plays put the ball on the Southerners' one-yard mark.

Bill Abee was hande0 the ball and smashed at Georgia's left tackle only to find a stone wall. There was still time for two more thrusts by the Violets but they didn't have the necessary punch. The first counter-charge ended when a substitute, McDonald, fumbled on Georgia's 18-yard The next and last threat was blasted when Georgia's star quarterback, Austin Downes, leaped high to intercept a long pass by Joe Lamark and return the ball to his 28-yard line shortly before the final gun. New York's fumbling, coupled with Georgia's ever-alert defense, deprived Chick Meehan's Violets of the opportunity to capitalize. their superior running and passing attack.

The New Yorkers registered 15 first downs to Georgia's six. but broke through the defense of the Dixie boys only once. SCORE ON SURPRISE This was early in the second pe---- riod when a surprise pass might the Georgians napping momentarily. It was a long heave from midfield by Joe Lamark. Caught ny Bob McNamara for a gain of 47 yards that put the pigskin on Georgia's four-yard mark.

McNamara knifed through for three yards on the Second play to cross Georgia's goal. Tangnay tried the kick for extra point but Red Maddox, brilliant Georgia guard, burst through to block the ball almost as it left Tanguay's toe. The play was typical of Georgia's aggressiveness and proved a decisive bit of work. McNamara's punting and off-tackle smashes featured York's He contributed most of the 186 yards gained by Violet rushing, as compared with a total of 111 yards for the Georgia backs, led by Jack Roberts, Homer Key and Mott. At the aerial game, New York completed 8 out of 17 tries for 117 yards while Georgia completed only one out of four for 22 yards.
