CHATTANOOGA TACKLES PLAY EXCELLENT GAME Team Assumes Defensive at Start and Is Held There All Threats Turned Aside by Stalwart Red Line.

BY BILL CLIFT, Timet Sportt Editor. DENNY STADIUM, TUSCALOOSA, Oct. 12. He who would be champion of the Southern conference in 1929 must first reckon with Alabama, that band of Crimson-clad gridiron giants herded into Tuscaloosa corral by Wallace Wade, the master mentor. The Crimson Tide of 1929 served notice to the Dixie football world that It had returned to the form of several seasons back, which made itjgared from coast to coast, by Hating the Chattanooga Moccasins, title holders of the Southern association, 46 to 0, here this afternoon.

A crowd, estimated at nearly 10,000, warmed its way into the new Denny stadium, one of the most magnificient 1 gridiron battle sites in the south, to see the Wademen hand the Chattanoogans one of the worst trouncirgs in Moccasin football history. It was the first defeat for the U. C. moleskinners on a foreign field in three years, the last being to Auburn. And, while the Moccasins were prepared to take a lacing today, the entire south rocked under the thundering hoofs of the scoring machine which Wallace Wade brought to life.

Moccasins Outweighed 20 Founds to Lineman. Outweighed twenty pounds to the man, the Moccasin line was never able to stem the attack of the fiercely charging Crimson backs, and the secondary defense was making three out of four tackles all afternoon. lAfter Tony Holm swept through the entire team unassisted, clearing the field by the sheer force of his attack, for a touchdown in the first four minutes, the Wademen chalked up points with clocklike regularity. i Shortly after Holm battered his way to the goal line in the first few minutes, the Moccasin wall rose to its highest peak. Twice the Blue and Gold defense held for downs in the very shadow of goal posts and punted back to midfield.

But the fire of a courageous spirit, which enabled the Drewmen to fight back the Crimson Wolves of the gridiron from the goal precincts for a time, grew dimmer with every savage thrust from battering ram backs, until the last lingering glow died out and the Tide, eager for the kill, buried the Moccasins Under an avalanche of touchdowns. Twice in the first period, twice in the second, once in the third, and twice again In the fourth and final, the Tide put on its touchdown wave and a gallant band of Moccasins, broken in body, but fighting to the last, was not able to do anything about it. Tony Holm and Ben Smith, a pair of backs who ran so hard the ground shook under their advance, led the attack, but six others figured brilliantly in the ground-gaining tactics. Wade used every man on the Crimson bench and each reserve appeared just as strong as the man replaced. Capt.

Billy Hicks, Bush, Long, Mc-Rlght, Boykin and Miller, all tore off great strips, of yardage through a desperately fighting, but futile. Chattanooga defense. Long and Smith went over for two touchdowns each, while Holm. McRight and Hicks galloped over the goal line one time apiece. Reserves Given Credit For Excellent Casting about for crumbs of comfort among the wreckage of the 46-to-0 reverse, one comes upon the fact that Harold Drew's reserves reflected credit upon the team, Inasmuch as it is possible in the face of such disaster.

Ed Donnelly, sophomore, who started at end, played an inspired game. In the last quarter he went down under Shad-dens long punt and sent Bush tumbling head over heels just as he took the kick. It was the first time this year that a Moccasin end has covered properly a punt. Shadden, who started at quarter in the place of Overmeyer, held his own With the Alabama punter In distance and placement. Pop Keyser, who replaced Capt.

Heywood at guard In the starting lineup, played an outstanding game. The former Baylor flash was in on every play and. while his weight was Insufficient to bowl over the giant Crimson backs, he hit. his man every ttrnei Heavy Grant started at center, making that point the one locality which wasnt penetrated regularly by the backs. But even his 240 pounds of brawn could not stand up under the terrific punishment dealt out by the piledrivers and Phil Magevny Tide had to replace Grant.
