TULANE WHIPS COLGATE 28-6 BEFORE 20000 Early Lead of Red Raiders Wiped Out by Fierce Attack of Wave NEW YORK Oct 17 Red Raiders held the big Tula ne dike for just 15 minutes and then were trapped and drowned by a rushing cascade of touchdowns 28 to 6 as 20000 spectators watched the big flood at the Polo Grounds today Plugged in the first period when the Red Raiders from the banks of the Chenango took to the air to race away with a 6 to 0 lead the Green Wave broke loose with two touchdowns in the second period and roared back with two more in the final to administer Colgate its worst defeat since Andy Kerr took over the coaching helm eight years ago Striking with a fury that shattered the wavering Red Raider defense works by land and air the Green Wave scored its first two touchdowns by passes and then turned loose Noel Loftin who demonstrated some of the most- spectacular ground-gaining in New York football history to go by land for two more At the finish the result was just as convincing as the score the Green Wave outgaining Colgate J78 yards to 85- Tulane hardly was In the game during the first period Frank well-placed kicks kept them back and his pass to Whitney Jaeger was good for 22 yards and a touchdown soon after hostilities opened The Green Wave began to lap over the dike at the outset of the second period With Bucky Bryan and Dub Mattis carrying most of the mail the Wave drove over for a touchdown with a 76-yard drive that was capped when Bryan shot a low 11-yard pass to Ralph Bond who dived across for the score A few minutes later out of a welter of intercepted passes and kicks Tulane got the ball on the Red 40 and was over with eight diversified plays Johnny Andrews lugged the ball to the Colgate 15 from which point Bryan took charge finally throwing a pass to Bill Mattis good for nine yards and a touchdown Summary if-iVfi One of the many times the valiant Tennessee line throttled Alabaman backs yesterday is pictured above The Vol

thank a stubborn defense which refused to budge against the powerful attack for the moral victory Each time the Red Elephants came thundering up the field within scoring distance that Orange line dug in and held its ground But the offense hampered by the loss of Doc Sneed Babe Wood and Joe Wallen with injuries never really threatened the Alabama double stripes with anything akin to real danger Once or twice Tennessee ball carriers appeared headed for that virgin territory where the oblique stripes cross the end zones but zones always they were throttled in time to avert further danger Phil Dickens ended the game with the most thrilling gallop of the entire contest however when he intercepted Joe long pass on his own 38-yard line and was almost away when he was finally spilled on the Tide 38 after the final whistle had blown Time was up shortly after the pass from center had started the play and Dickens was running on borrowed time Rival rooting sec-tions leaped to their collective feet Tennessee fans hoping against hope the play would result in a touchdown and Tide supporters praying somebody would break -through that interfernce to bring the ball carrier to the
