8. Caught In the rude current of misfortune, or perhaps It might best be called the breaks of the game, a courageous Georgia Tech team role Its greatest heights of the season today, but lost to an alert crew of Vanderbilt Commodores, 6 to 0. Johnny Askew, who in many ways resembles great Bill Spears, won the game for Vandy in the second quarter when he took a lateral pass from Thomas on Tech's twenty-yard 'line and dashed around a flagging defense for a touchdown. The score culminated, a drive of flfty-fo'ur yards, fifteen of them made on a Tech penalty. By ED HARRIS While their "big brothers" were casting anxious eyes over the Tech-Vandy act in Atlanta, the Tennessee Reserves put on a show of their own yesterday afternoon at Shields-Wat kins walked off the fading turf with a 34 to 0 victory, over a game but wing-clipped Eagles from The "Hack and Mack" touchdown-corporation has gone into bankruptcy, but "Hy and Ty" have taken over the receivership and the scattered fans over the barren concrete stands saw what might have been "Hack and Mack" in disguise, because "Ty" Disney and Hy" Hey It-was a game in which the playf ers did every thing but eat the loot- dricK romped ail over me neia.

"Ty" Leads Scoring Disney crossed the enemy last chalk line twice and advanced the ball into position for another score, but fumbled when the goal was but a few steps away. The other half of the new corporation made one touchdown, flipped two forward passes that made the Eagles back to their own goal steps, and added three extra points, all by drop kicks. Yes, the shingle of "Hack and Mack" has been torn down, but the one of "Hy and Ty" took its place, fnr ft. dnv a' lpont Lehigh Finally Victorious Over Princeton, 13-9 PRINCETON, N. Nov.

8 OP). For the first time in their forty-three years of footbal rivalry, Lehigh defeated Princeton here in Palmer stadium by a 13 to 9 score today. Lehigh scored two touchdowns in the opening quarter while Princeton scored Its only touchdown in the second, annexing two additional points In the final period on a safety. The Tigers outplayed the engineers in every period, getting a total of IS first downs to four forthe visitors but as has been the case all season, they unable to supply the necessary punch when near the goal line. The Lehigh scores came before the first, period was half over on sixty yard dashes by Halstead and Clark.

The Tiger attack got going in the second quarter and after being repulsed once In the shadow of the goal.

Captain Scheffer and Big Bill Schwartz take care of the flank positions with their bulk, while Leonard, Askew and Benny Parker take their parts in the All five of these played a prominent part in Vandy's victory over Georgia Tech yesterday. Askew has been the main offensive threat all season. Parker does the passing while Schwartz comes out of the line to do the kicking. 1 Carson Newman, fighting desperately for a score, which to them would have meant one of those moral victories, was denied, but It was as game a battle as has been waged on Tennessee turf this season. Entering the game, knowing they were so helplessly outclassed that Major Bob Neyland had bundled his varsity-troops together to take a squint at what may be expected from Vandy next Saturday, the Eagles never once let down always dog- gedly trying to make that score.

Fumbles prevented the Vols from scoring three other touchdowns. Disney was unfortunate on one lunge through the line, and it happened just after he had made a 44-yard jaunt around his left end.

vided a spectacle which the 25.000 fans who stormed Grant field today will not soon forget. Evenly Matched Georgia Tech lost, but they definitely spiked all rumors that the Yellow Jacket has lost its sting. There was very little to choose between the two teams, as they fought back and forth today. Vandy undoubtedly had the better offensive weapons, but if Tech had not handled the football in such a murderous fashion they might have scaled the peak of victory. Tech hurled a thunderbolt near the end of the first quarter when Pat Barron last of a great line of football players streaked 50 yards.

for a touchdown. However, the play was called back and the Jackets penalized for offsides, allowing this beautiful piece of broken -field running to go for naught. Tech showed its courage by coming back with a drive down the field in. the third quarter which carried them to Vandy's 10-yard line. Here a stubborn Commodore line rose up and called a halt.

Leyendecker, Gracey. and Big Bill Schwartz were the stars in the Vandy forewall. It was mainly their work which turned back the vicious pounding of the eager, but. in experienced Tech backs within the shadow' of the goal posts. Leonard Injured Vanderbilt's running game was handicapped severely early In the game when Mouse Leonard, ace of McGugin's backfield, had to leave the field, due to injuries.

Tech like-. wise suffered when Vance Maree, one of the finest tackles in Dixie, trotted to the dressing room with ailment. With Leonard out of the game, Helman "Good" Fortune, sophomore fullback, and the nimble Johnny Askew, took over the ball-carrying. Fortune's work was Indeed outstanding, and in the final quarter he almost single-handed carried the Commodores to another tquchdown. Coach Alexander apparently had his bOS primed for Askew.

They would hit him three and four at a time on most plays, but they failed to touch him on the all-important jaunt around end- Johnny crossed the goal line a second time in the opening half on another pass from Jess Thomas, but this time some Commodore was embracing an enemy. It was called back. Vols See Game The Tennessee Vols, who watched the team, probably saw enough to convince them that Mr. Johnny As ker will be a tough customer to handle next Saturday. Askew looks like Bill Spears, and he runs like Bill Spears.

If he could only pass the football he would be almost a perfect carbon copy of the former Vandy star. Leonard and Askew were never In the backfield at the same time today. There Is every Indication that they will be next week, and then we will probably see some firework such as Col. McGugln did not set off against the Jackets. Benny.

Parker was not very effective with his aerial thrusts. He threw them high and far, but he always threw them high and far enough for some Tech halfback to either knock them down or intercept them. Here is one department in which Tennessee should excel against the Commodores. Benny Parker, as good as he is, can not flip the football with the same accuracy as Bobbie Dodd, few can for that matter. It might be interesting to take a look at a few statistics.

Vanderbilt moved the sticks eight times while Georgia Tech was chalking up six first downs. The Commodores ran 77 plays from scrimmage, advancing the ball 121 yards. Tech maneuvered the 70 times from snap and collected 97 yards. Bill Schwarts, -who seems to be playing his best football for Vandy Continued on Page 4, Col. 6) Bill Cox- made the other two mis-cues that prevented a larger score.

No Injury The Reserves worked better together than was expected. It was the first time this season that they saw as much service as they did yesterday, and all dodged the injury jinx that has trailed the varsity' all season. Something was' wrong, there was not man Injuredbut still there may be one turned up before Monday. While -it was the work of "Hy and Ty" that overshadowed that of the other there was a little Sophomore that demonstrated he could heave passes with the best of them. He did not throw many, but when he did they hit their mark.

Harvey Robinson, small halfback was that player, and he contributed the longest run of the game when he Intercepted a forward pass and raced 63 yards for a touchdown. Robinson's shifting about on this run was easily the best bit of broken field running of the day. Denied three touchdowns on fumbles the "kid' Vols also lost two others on penalties. "Shack" Allen, the flash from Elizabethton; tore around end for 51 yards, but the quick eye of an official caught an over-anxious Vol holding, and the play was called back Again later in the game Allen tore around the same end for forty some odd yards for another touchdown that was likewise called back, and Tennessee CHATTANOOGA. Nov.

8 (UP). Chattanooga counted 12 first downs to three for Sewanee but the teams battled to a bitter scoreless tie here today. The Moccasins played in Sewanee territory almost entirely during the game, gaining 212 yards to 43 for their opponents but lacked the necessary punch to score. In the first quarter Raby, Moccasin left half, ran 54 yards through right tackle on a weak side play and FarlolettL right half, almost duplicated the feat with ,56 yards through center. The Moccasins gained Sewanee's ten-yard line on four different occasion, but then the Tiger line held solid for four downs.

Duke Pulls Surprise By Beating Kentucky Crippled Wildcats Failed To Gain Through Strong Blue Devil Line; Early Lead Enough To Win By 14 To 7 Score. N. Nov. 8 UP), Kentucky's crippled but snarling Wildcats were tamed here this afternoon by Duke's Blue Devils, who hung up their sixth consecutive victory, 14 to 7. More than 15,000 saw the contest, which was bitterly waged from the kickoff to the final whistle.

It was Kentucky's second defeat In a row at the hands of a conference opponent. J. A. Kreis Wins Brave Auburn Tiger Holds Tularie, 21-0 Defending Champions Score Twice In Early Part of Battle, But Are Hard-Pressed To Win; Zimmerman Again Leads Attack. NEW ORLEANS, Nov.

8 OP). The plucky little team from Auburn today held the Rolling wave of Tulane to three touchdowns In a game of fumbles and fight. The score was 21 to 0. The first quarter was scoreless and Auburn lived to its sobiquet "Fighting Tigers." Tulane opened the second quarter with a rush and pressed the break it got when Hitchcock kicked a sorry punt from behind hia own- goal line that went out of bounds on the five-yard line.

The writer, being an alumnus of Tennessee, and also of Carson-Newman, was constrained to take a neutral position on the fray, even if there had been a chance for he Eagles to score. The great hope of the squad was that a touchdown might be shoved over, and thus share in the honors of the day.

But fate was not passing out any such breaks to the Eagles, and they accounted for exactly nothing to the Vols' thirty-four. Everyone sympathizing with the Eagles should be satisfied with the outcome, as there was no hope of a win in the first place, and a good chance of losing by about fifty points in the second place. Therefore, as an interested party to both teams, the writer well content with the results.

The Blue Devils held the Ken-tuckians In check throughout the game, except just at the close of the third and the beginning of the fourth periods. A Kentucky fumble led to the first Duke score in the initial period. Meyer let the ball get away from him, and Bryan covered it for Duke. Bill Murray, hard run- nmg back, stepped around his own left end for 20 yards and a touchdown. Brewer hit center for the point.

In the next period, the Devils scored again by successive line bucks. Brewer scored in two tries at the line and made the extra point by a dash around end.

The final quarter saw Zimmerman and Felts hitting the line for steady gains until Felts went over for the third touchdown.
