The Ole Miss Rebels broke them from this Irritating but usually efficacious policy and the Boston Eagles followed suit yesterday It Is to the Vedit of the athletes and their superiors that they were opportunistic and resourceful enough to yank these two conflicts out of the embers of passes on the Auburn 36 A fourth touchdown came in the seconet period when the Bulldogs rolled 56 yards in eight

night that he and his associates or accomplices were nicked for $17650 on games we paid he added boastfully The new ticket made its initial appearance this week and is allegedly backed by a syndicate of home grown gamblers It is the so-called ticket and we hope you got some of that $17650 Quite a few subscribers have called and asked assistance In picking the teams that will appear In the various bowl games Two tickets to Pasadena will be awarded the fan coming closest to naming the correct lineup of post-season clubs Employes of this' paper are not eligible to participate In the contest and so It would not be fair for any of them to give advice Anyway your guess Is as good If not considerably better 'than any of ours The ad explaining the contest may be found In sports section ing minutes About 22000 fans saw the worst beatipg in the history of the two schools which began football relations in 1892 Four years ago on the same field Auburn derailed Rose-Bowl team 27-13 in the most thunderous upset of the season But this was not the day nor was Auburn the team to repeat that achievement Trippi candidate for the All-America honors won by Frankie Sinkwich in 1942 and 1943 slashed line and faded through the fingers 'of would-be tacklers He scored two touchdowns and played brilliant defensive football Yet he was not the individual star of the day That honor went to" slender freshman halfback Tidwell The 175-pounder from' Birmingham Ala was the striking power and the' defensive bulwark the Auburn team After the game his coach Carl Voyles said proudly: show up Tidwell even though Georgia won the game Trippi had more help Wally Butts also paid tribute to the Auburn yearling describing him as truly great He complained his own team was weak at center and at the tackles and evaded comment on advance feelers from bowl-sponsors The statistics told this story of the opposing stars: Trippi carried the ball 15 times gaining a net of 70 yards and completed one pass out of five tries for eight a total of 78 yards in 20 plays Tidwell ran with the ball 18 times gaining 46 yards and completed six out of twelve passes for another 43 He was credited with a total of 89 yards on 30 plays On the ground the two teams were far closer matched than the score proclaimed The Bulldogs gained 175 yards rushing and ten first downs Auburn gained 121 and eight first downs The margin offensive superiority lay in passing game The Bulldogs completed 11 out of 18 tries for 271 yards Auburn tried 14 passes connected with six for 43 first stringers scored three minutes after the opening kickoff marching 57 yards Trippi bucked over from the two after Quarterback Johnny Rauch had set up the score with a 25-yard sprint A few minutes later Trippi culminated a 55-yard drive by whipping a 32-yard pass to Reid Moseley on the goal A third touchdown was scored on a 30-yard break-away by Trippi after Center Gene Chandler had intercepted one ley who took it on the three and scored the second tally Big brother Bo kicked both points from placement Wake brilliant passing attack was a constant threat and only after final scoring sprint late in the fourth period was the Tar

while Dave clicked with a boy Jack Luttrell another one-time Journal sports writer apparently seeks a franchise in the paternity league He will marry Maryruth Heller of Philadelphia soon in Miami where he has been working for several months Everything is quiet along the Anderson front Judging from Ed story reports sent in by the AP UP and INS correspondents and Allyn WROL broadcast Dick Huffman did not hurt his All-America chances whatsoever The large Vdl tackle is the only member of the roster With a remote chance of receiving votes for the mythical team With the exception perhaps of the Wake Forest game Huffman has been consistently outstanding That Dick goes hard all the way is attested by two of bis more conspicuous exploits He squashed Charlie-Justice from behind and he meted out similar treatment to Ole Conerly Had Huffman been loafing he would not followed these plays to the other side and thus would not have been in position to make the tackles when the carriers
