PHYSICAL CONDITION OF LOCALS PERFECT Lautzy Again in Brilliant 68-Yard Bun to Touchdown as Moccasins Beat Birmingham-Southern, 12-8. BY ED SUSSDORF. Sportt Editor.

A great Panther stalked out to the kill yesterday afternoon at Chamber-lain field and found himself, two hours later, writhing in the grasp of a greater Moccasin. His intended meal had turned out to b4 too tough to chew, too tough by a margain of 12 to 8. Both teams, Birmingham-Southern and the University of Chattanooga, brought high hopes into the classic battle, hopes for the glory and honor that 'comes with a championship. This morning hope has died in the Panther breast and it is burning higher and brighter in Chattanooga. Both teams had been groomed care-- fully for the test.

Both were at the peak of form. Both were undefeated, and both had dreaped of attaining the coveted undisputed claim to championship honors. Both were tortured during the game by those happenings that pass under the classification of breaks of the game. Both had their moments of ecstacy and their racking minutes of imminent disaster. It was an even battle, evenly fought, and the score tells the story of the narrowness of the Moccasin supremacy.

So nearly matched were the elevens that a single point victory would have been as satisfactory to the Moccasins. As a whole, it was a gridiron classic with all the term implies. Some gridiron mastermind contrived a simple football play years ago, and called it an off tackle smash. After being taken up by different coaches down through the years, with each teacher adding or subtracting in the process of perfection, it survived the epidemic of changes in the rules and came out two years ago at the University of Chattanooga. Since then it -has been perfected into what it was yesterday afternoon.

The coach who invented It might not have recognized his old mass on tackle play, for it has been turned into a delicate and intricate bit of- gridiron machination. The success of the whole depends on the faultless performance of every one of eleven tasks mapped out for eleven men. When it fails it's because somebody falls down. Yesterday from starting whistle to the end it worked with marvelous precision, and in working it brought victory to the Moccasins. It was monotonous, the way that Moccasin off tackle play worked.

Barrett, at left tackle, and Lautzenheiser. at right Lautzy at right again and then Barrett at left those two plays gained nine of every ten yards earned by the Moccasins. The other yard in every ten was the product of sheer battering-ram power developed in the calves of two pairs of fullback legs, 'Wards and Crytsers. A Moccasin game is not considered complete without at least one run around the block by Capt. Lautzy, and his supporting cast of interferers.

Yesterday the big Lautzy-act of the matinee came before the game got well under way. It was a spectacular romp for 6S yards from the line of scrimmage by Lautzy, his knees pumping, his hips weaving from side to side as he raced down in front of the gasping stands. Some afternoon Lautzy is going to play a whole game without a single 60 or 75-yard run. and his thousands of admirers in the stands are going to storm the boxoffice to get a refund of their money. Because he is the.

man with the ball; because his name goes down in the scoring summary, there are thousands of fanatics who believe this all-Southern praneer does his tricks single-handed. He does more than the everyday-halfback singlehanded, but his 60 and 75-yard runs are far from solo acts. Great as he is he must have clipping and his mates, generous to a fault, give it to him wholeheartedly in big gobs. On his 68-yard dash yesterday an actual count showed six Panthers brought to the turf out of the way of the speeding Lautzy. One bit of blocking by Les Morgan was nothing less than heroic.

It wouldnt be amiss if Bomehow, the typesetter should make a mistake (though they never do) and print Morgan instead of Lautzy in the scoring record. Physical Condition of Moccasins Responsible for Fine Victory. Basically the triumph was a victory for the superb physical condition attained by the Moccasins. A single misstep of the kind that inevitably comes with substitutes in the lineup and the Panthers would have won the ball game. But there were no scrubs in the game.

None were heeded. As a team the Moccasins yesterday were trained to the hickory-hard toughness of, a champion of the prize ring, who bends his entire years of life to the to make of himself a superman for a single hour. A day more of training might have broken the spell and made of the Moccasin a brittle overtempered bar of steel, but the grind of preparation was exactly right, and it was a hardened hunch of bodies that lined up behind the ball- for the first play of the game. The physical condition of perfection in' the Moccasin line alone was sufficient to withstand the blows hammered against it by its towering opponents. There were me powerful men in the Panther wall, some fine and courageous forwards, but at the end they were staggering and bruised, in contrast to the springy condition of the Moccasin linemen.

Only Bill Ward, who was In torture with a battered shoulder, even at the start, and Dale Viers, who -has never regained the peak of fighting condition he lost when badly injured last fall, and who suffered another hurt in the opening quarter, were replaced on account of injuries yesterday. The rest of the Moccasins fought on and on, without calling for time or mercy. A series of anti-Moccasin breaks in the first half brought back sour memories of the Panther-Moccasin tie -of 3 926. but the superplay of the home lads in the final quarters wiped out what remained of the fan criticism of officials above reproach. Chattanooga had scored its touchdown when, the first break occurred.

NASHVILLE, Oct 22 OP). The Tulanes Green Breakers mstched pace here today with the blinding speed of Bill Spears, Vanderbilt quarter, and lost Two sensational runs of about 80 yards each, one from scrim- mage, and one with an Intercepted pass, were Spears 'spicy contributions to a 32-to-0 victory in the Commodores first conference game.

Armistead squeezed the ball over la the first quarter for the initial touchdown, after Owen had looped in a 19- -yard pas from Spears and had been wrestled oat of bounds on the l-yrd line. 7 With the ball on the 23-yard line, Spears sailed through right tackle, sharply with the aid of a high flung, balancing arm, and cut over to the left. Half a dozen men had their hands -on him during the 77-yard gab-lop. He eluded McCarroll and the Tulane fallback collapsed, on the side line. Bill Banker, his rival in the chained lightning field, cut into head him off and was left behind by a miraculous spurt.

Menville fol- lowed him over the goal line. The chase was made more dramatic when the same trio of Green runners cut loose shortly after with a series of 15 to 26-yard runs. The Wave was beaten back, however, when Sharp knocked down a pass on the 8-yard Spears Intercepted a heave which Menville had intended for Pat Browne, crossed his 20-yard line running, and with the aid of interference flashed up the aide, line for a touchdown in -the sgine quarter.

THREE VOL TEAMS USED IN RUNAWAY: Tennessee TJses Entire Squad in Defeat of KNOXVILLE, Oct 22 of Tennessee found the Transyl-, vania Pioneers easy here this afternoon and employed virtually three teams in piling up a 57-to-0 score over the Ken-tucky eleven. The visitors offered but little resistance to the varsity and after the first eleven had clicked off tF touchdowns in ten plays and four mm--, utes reserves began to flock on the field. Transylvania was far outweighed and the veteran Vols ripped through their light forward wall, around the flanks and hurled passes to stack up the score as the game progressed. The running of Tudor, a reserve back, was the feature of the final periods. broke away around end twice, once for 73 and again for 91 yards, a touchdown resulting each time.

Dale Crytser, whose debut into the realm of stardom was started two weeks ago, broke with a blaze into the headlines after replacing Bill Ward early in the game. He gained ground at the middle, when a glance at the giants would have discouraged any attempt.

When the Moccasins were brui ing their way down to the goal on their second touchdown Dale combined with Lautzy and Barrett and added his 4-yard smashes to theirs to accumulate the first downs. He also played a fine defensive game, backing up the line. One of the surprises of the starting line-up Was the placing of Bob Groe-scholl, ex-halfback, at end. It was faintly surprising when they announced he would play end. but the big surprise came when he began doing it.

The surprise was not so much that he played end, but more that he played end as well as he did tied with Milton Thompson for the place of the best end on the field.

on football officials, passed about in the stands. Conference With Coaches Fired Locals to Great Spurt. The Moccasins, though they -have had little experience, play better football when their opponent is in the lead. They ripped Wofford to ribbons ofter the Terriers had scored, and yesterday, when they came out for the second half, two points behind the they were irresistible. The Moccasin coaching staff, said to be made up of a trio of eloquent speech-makers, went into close conference with the Moccasins during the half intermission.

They stayed behind closed doors for the entire fifteen minutes, spent in heart-to-heart talks, one with another, and when they turned them loose on the field for the third quarter they were raging. From the opening of the half until the end the Panther was far far behind. During the entire third quarter there were but five yards gained by Birmingham-Southern, and in the second quarter the Moccasins had gained but four yards. The conference in the gymnasium provided the margin. Overmeyers punting was great.

The official statistician who measures all his punts strictly from the line of scrimmage, gives Overmeyer an average of 41 yards on 8 punts, against an average of 23 on 13 punts by Pace ind Ogle. Donnys booting alone made him one of the most valuable Moccasins on the grid, but his direction of the team added to Iris glory. It was an unfortunate choice when he elected to attempt the pass that resulted in the safety, but the clever way he stuck to the job of running off tackle plays showed his shrewdness. Another quarterback might have sought variety in an end run or a forward pass during that long, concentrated dash down the field to the second Moccasin touchdown, but Donny knew his football and knew his team. The off-tackle play was gaining enough ground and he stuck to his guns.

His persistence in calling that same pair of plays, Barrett and Lautzy, at tackles, won the game. In spite of the influence of past experiences, which tend to draw the spectators eye toward Joe Kopcha, Jim Cassidy, Milt Tnompson, Phips Ma-gevney, the railbird yesterday afternoon found his line of vision continually clouded with the form of Leslie Morgan. As if all his previous action this fall, and he has seen as much as any other guard, with the exception of Cassidy, were nothing but preparation for the big game, Morgan outdid himself yesterday. He was outweighed, as were all members of the Moccasin line, but not outfought, nor outplayed. Morgan was the leader of a pack of forwards that fought nobly and successfully against strong opposition.

Chink Lott, the same little tough and speedy customer who tied the score of the tied game last fall, was the smallest and yet the biggest Panther on the field. He stepped off about half the ground gained by the Southern eleven, and what Lott didn't gain Billy Smith did Another midget, this young man with the ordinary name and extraordinary habit of getting over the ground, took the place of the regular quarterback, Lex Fullbright, and performed better than his senior could. Shorty Ogle presented difficulties for the Moccasins, with his six-foot-four stretched out in front of plays, but the big man of the Panther line was Bartlett, center, who persisted in crashing through on half-formed Moccasin plays.

PRINCETON SCORES THRILLING VICTORY Cornell Outplayed and Out-rushed by Tigers. Halfback Wittmer Flashes Around Ends, Batters Line, Stars on Defense.

BY ALAN J. GOULD. (Associated Press Sports Editor.) ITHACA, N. Oct. 22 OP).

Flashing An attack of brillinat power and versatility, featured by the thrusts a 175-pound sophomore halfback, Ed Wittmer, Princeton scored a 'thrilling victory over Cornell today, 21 to 10, the first football game between these ancient rivals in twenty years. A record-breaking Cornell crowd of 32,000 saw the Ithacans outplayed and, outrushed and decisively defeated in a see-saw struggle after they had passed and kicked their way into the lead twice during the first half. The Tigers, packing the greater punch and exhibiting a more alert defense, took the lead near the close of the second period, and held it to the end. Cornell provided the most spectacular setting of its gridiron history for the renewal of relations with old Nassau, but a curly-haired stocky young Tiger, Ed Wittmer, of Pittsburgh, furnished the fireworks on the playing field, Wittmer, a flash around the ends, battering-ram through the line and a ball-hawk on the defense, scored only one of Princetons three touchdowns, but his line plunging, passing and receiving contributed largely to the advances which enabled Mike Miles and Phil Strubing to tally the others. Carl Rarnch, skillful kicker and passer, gave Wittmer excellent support, but it -was the latter who bore the brunt of the Tiger attack from start to finish.
