While the entire Panther forward wall played well, It was impossible to single out individual stars as the ancient and womout hoax of changing jersies had been employed so that names could not be learned from the numbers. Sometime, perhaps, a coach will learn that this trick fools no one except the people who pay to see the game, worrying the opposing team not at all. U. Koenneger, who started at guard, played a bang-up game for the Drew-men, while Stork Johnson, Jim Findley, Phil Magevney and others trod glorious paths across the victory tri.il Strong and Trail were the big guns of the backfield, running rampant at all times, while Bill Ward was right there with that line smash for a yard or two when needed most for a first down and a new lease on scoring life. Donny Overmeyer tossed passes well and punted spectacularly, both for distance and placement.

Bob GrQpschell, who had been shifted to end, was left on the bench for the entire game. But there is plenty of title defending left for Bob and Jim Cassidy, Heavy Grant and other aces who did their work from the sideline yesterday. A recovered fumble after punt gave the Moccasins their first scoring chance and they lost no time In making the most of their opportunity. An offside penalty for Birmingham also aided the Chattanooga cause. After Southern kicked off an exchange of punts followed.

Overmeyer punted from his own 34-yard line and Vaughan, playing safety for the Panthers, fumbled. U. Koenneger immediately pounced on the ball on the 30-yard line. Strong dashed around end for twelve yards, but on the next play Trail was downed for a loss of equal amount, but the Panther line was offside and the play was called back and a 5-yard penalty Imposed. The offside helped the Moccasins to the extent of seventeen yards.

Bill Ward then dashed for a first down on the 8-yard line. Strong hit for two. Ward for three, Ward for two and Strong went over. The try for extra point failed. Southern then got busy with its passing attack and kept the Moccasins busy keeping their goal line protected until the end of the third quarter.

Smith passed to Black for twenty-five yards, then ripped off fifteen through the line and the Panthers were on the 24-yard line. Here the Moccasin defense strengthened and took the ball on downs. 1 A The top picture shows-Kenneth Strong, the fleet-footed Moccasin halfback, who came to the Blue and Gold from Baylor, tearing off the prettiest run of the day early in the second quarter only to have it called back and a 15-yard. penalty imposed on Chattanooga. Strong tore around end, outstepped a bunch of tacklers and smashed Smith, the safety man, into Chamberlain field turf with a powerful stiff arm.

ine run. was good for 'forty-two yards, but it all went for naught because a sharp-eyed official saw some Moccasin holding. WTren the Panthers forged ahead, .7 to 6, ih the last period, it looked as if this unlucky break might cost U. C. a victory.

1 The lower picture shows the same fleeting youngster as he sped through a mob of Panther tacklers for Xw enty-two yards late In the last quarter, placing the oval on the 20-yard line. On the play before, Overmeyer had tossed to Ralph Trail for a gain of twenty-eight yards. Following this spectacular journey around the flanks, Trail and Ward plunged for a first down and Ralph got eight more, after which Donny went over for the winning touchdown. 1 of th pe, who ecreUry Slovakia, Mimit, and lister at' old and KERS AID union awed by ttraeted a ym- lorwnffl rns are driven, kly paf ered to Individ ize their Strong Makes Touchdown, But Play Called Back. Overmeyer passed to Strong for seventeen yards and then Donny got off the most perfect punt of the day, a long roller which went out of bounds on the Panther 3-yard line.

Black punted back and then Strong cut around end. sidestepped his tacklers smashed the safety man with a beautiful stiff arm and sprinted forty-two yards for a touchdown. But the cheers died down as the play was called back and a 15-yard penalty impose on the Moccasins. The Moccasins came right back with a 26-yard pass, Overmeyer to Strong, but then lost on downs and the half found the ball in midfield. Southern started its touchdown drive in the third period and continually kept hammering at the Moccasin goal.

The Panthers were on their own 46-yard line at the quarter. Smith passed to Vaughan for eighteen yards. Smith again tossed, this time to Summerford and the big flank-man raced to the 4-yard line before being stooped by Donny Overmeyer. Smith failed to gain, Vaughan hit a stone wall. Pilgreen got two at tackle, them went over on the fourth play.

Black drop-kicked for the point. Southern kicked off, and then followed the terrific drive which 1 won for the Moccasins. Overmeyer passed to Trail for twenty-four yards. Strong skirted end for wenty-two, then Trail. Ward Great Elevens Stage Terrific Battle, but Tennessee Holds Edge.

ALABAMA ACES HALTED ON THREE-INCH STRIPE "Hack -and Mack Star Alonj With Holm, Whose Punting Shines State Elevens Conference Star Rises Even Highet by Victory. KNOXVILLE, Oct. 19 Tennessee shot its football star high alone the championship arc of the Southern conference here today by defeating'tha University of Alabama, 6 to 0. i The Crimson Tide rolled fiercely and brilliantly from the opening whistle to the end, once failing by six inches1 to cross the Volunteer goal. Eugene McEver did it, of course.

Mc-Ever and Hackman, and Bobby Dodd's brilliant punting, offset the Tide's heavier crushing llnei and withstood Alabama rallies that threw 20,000 or more spectators into shouting, frenzied masses of color-decked humanity. The Volunteer's scoring drive started in the second quarter with Hack-man's breath-taking recovery as, when he stanced to pass, Alabama forwards broke through, rushed him and saw him eluc them with, a long, sweeping run to the Tide's 2-yard line. Mack dived around the end for the touchdown. While the Crimson, white and orange banners waved above the din of three bands, Dodd missed the onl; place-kick he was to try. Then the Tide rolled to its height and beat far upon the Volunteer beach with a pass from Billy Moore to Long, who sprinted forty yards to Tennessee's 10-yard line.

There Buddy Hackman, running desperately, gave up his despairing try for tackle and plunged side-first into the flying Long, pushing hih out of bounds. Maj. Robert Neyland, his hopes threatened by the drive, rushed in Cox for Decker at fullback, and Mayer fo Fuller at guard. Both excelled on defense. I Alabamas Lig moment was- there Long failed to gain, with the ball aJ vanced to Tennessee's 6-yard line Holm's drive through center.

Holm made two more. On the fourth down; Hicks' dove through Into the arms of McEver. Alabama had failed "by half a foot, Tennessee came out of it, Dodd rtx libprately grounding a pass and punting out of bounds to his 26-yard line. Once again Alabama tried, but waa blocked, by the whistle at the half as Hackman knocked down a pass behind the Tennessee goal line. Just as the ball neared a waiting Alabama end.

The terrific battering given Tennessee by the heavier Alabamans had its effect in the last quarter. Fritz Brandt, end, went out with cuts on the face and body. Hackman went down, came up and went down again with a cramped leg. Faust finished at his half. Jake Johnston, captain and tackle, already had given up his post to Phil Beene.

A series of punts and penalties gave Alabama the ball on Tennessee's 30-yard line, and with it gave the Tide its last scoring chance. And Wallace Wade's battlers made all but the most of it. Jeff Bush went nine yards, and Ben Smith made it first down on Tennessees 19-yard line. Bush went over for two. Moore sent a pass spiraling to long for eleven yards.

Bush made flva of the remaining eight yards, Smith brought It to the 3-yard line. Agniii McEver stopped the Tide, throwing Long as he caught a pass from Smith. The ball went over and Dodd punted out of danger. Just as the referee raised the whistle, McEver topped off the afternoon with 30-yard run to Alabama's 30-yard line. As for Individual play, Tony Holme's showing at fullback more than Justified the tales that had come Out of Tuscaloosa.

As soon as the game resolved into pretty much of a punting and mid-field fight, he took over the kicklnj from McRight. The final punting yardage. Tennessee, 522 on thirteen punts; Alabama, 342 on: nine tries. Sington, Alabama guard, plunged through the Volunteer line to stop Hackman, McEver and -their fellows in some of Tennessee's most serious sccr- ing threats. The Volunteer ends, Brandt and Hug, fought a standstill fight with the opposing Elmore and Moore.

Both pairs broke through each other alternately, stopping runners frequently behind the line of scrimmage. The line-up: Tennessee (6). Pos. Alabama (0). Hub L.E Moore Saunder L.T Clement Thayer L.G J- Miller Finney Ebeidt Fuller Bington J.

Registers Touchdown Shortly After Games Start Visitors Then Play Locals Off Feet Until Final Rally Fighting Spirit at Close Features.

History repeated itself in the Birmingham-Southern and Chattanooga traditional rivalry yesterday afternoon rhcn the Blue and Gold Moccasins plucked a game out of the fire with a heroic drive in the last six minutes to turn back the Panther threat, 13 to 7. Defending their Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association champion-ihip for the second time this year, the Moccasins, with a pair of former Baylor boys, Strong and Trail, hogging the lit iclight, shoved across the winning touchdown with less than three minutes to play. The thrills and agony of a full set-ton of foothallistics were crowded into that final quarter, when the Moccasins paid Harold Drew the greatest tribute that can come the way of any coach, the picture of a team which will not be beaten and which fights back courageously in the shadow of defeat. Last year, down in Birmingham, Donny Overmeyer tossed a nass to Kenneth Strong, who was standing over the goal line, for the winning counter in the last minute of play. Yesterday Donny passed to Ken for the clinching point after Overmeyer.

Strong, Trail and Ward all had combined their Worts in a glorious victory drive down the field. This great snurt came as the after-math of another colorful march, a march which saw the contending Panthers go out in front, 7 to 6. Taking the ball on their own 46-yard line. Eouthern went, over with a straight drive. Smith tossed to Vaughan for a flrstdown on the 38-yard line.

Smith heaved to Sumerford for a flrfitdow'n en the 4-yard line and plunged owr for the counter on the fourth try, after three futile attemnts. The trained toe of Halfback Black tent the oval hurtling snuare and true between the posts for the point, which put the Panthers out' in front. All Thrills of Move pji-kcd in Bast Period.

Lavals South Carolina Team Has Queer Designs Painted on Jerseys, BY MILLARD FERGUSON.

Special Cor. to The Chattanooga Times. Copyright, 1929. ATLANTA, Oct. 19.

The hides of a couple of 100-year-old alligators furnished the headgears brought here by the Florida football team, otherwise known as the Gators, for their game Saturday with Georgia Tech. The skins of two ancient saurians, killed in the everglades, were specially prepared by Seminole Indians and then made into the most durable headgear that ever protected the skulls of gridiron warriors. Rhinoceros hide would be flimsy stuff compared to the skins of these daddy alligators, slain in the dead of night by Indian trappers and then treated with a process known only to them. While the Gators from Florida were adopting alligator hide, the South Carolina football squad was going In for cubist effects. Billy Laval, coach of the Palmetto players, has always had a keen eye for strategy.

This year he commissioned an artfst from Greenwich village to draw foifhim a strange design which adorns the jersies of his players. This piece of. cubist art is circular In shape' and when seen from different angles seems to change In color and altogether presents a puzzling effect. Opposing players become so absorbed In these strange circles that they forget football and imagine they attending an exhibition of modern art. Players at Vanderbilt university wear headgear which makes them resemble Roman gladiators, and the team at the University of Georgia, which defeated Yale a week ago, boast such a color contrast as white jersies and red helmets.

While flappers have been discarding stockings. Georgia Tech has been going to the other extreme. When Heisman was coach of the Golden Tornado, the Georgia Tech football squad went barelegged. But stockings have been resumed and it is more or less a custom among the linemen to wear shin guards beneath the hosiery. Georgia Tech adopted from Notre Dame the style of silk pants on the gridiron and it learned about rubber trousers from Alabama.

In 1925, Alabama played the Golden Tornado on a rainy Saturday afternoon in Atlanta, and Johnny Mack Brown performed in the backfield for the Tide. Since then Johnny Mack has become a movie hero. But he has never starred with more success in the films than he did that bleak afternoon against the Golden Tornado. He was wearing the first pair of rubber pants ever seen on the gridiron here and after they had become wet and slick, he ran through the Tech team at will. A greased pig would have been easier to catch.

White footballs are another new piece of gridiron equipment introduced to southern fans this year. They are used at night games, which promise to become more and more popular In the south. Loyola, at New Orleans, Is playing all of its games at night this season, and in this way avoids con flict in dates with Tulane. Oglethoroe in Atlanta has decided to adopt 'the same schedule next year, playing Its home games on Friday night. These two teams, which are among the leading exponents of night foottfall, played a nothing-nothing tie under electric lights at New Orleans last week.

The stadium at Georgia Tech has been equipped with forty-eight field lights which shed a glow of 72,000 candle power the length and breadth of the field. But co far these lights have been used merely for late practice. Next season several games may be played a night, or the experiment may be tried of starting games late in the afternoon and finishing them by the glow of the big lamos. The 'white football used In night games not only is easily distinguishable, but actually seems twice the size of the ordinary The players can be seen clearly, and the details of the game followed easily as by the day light.

(Chip) Robert chairman of the Georgia Tech Athletics commit tee and one of the most enthusiastic supporters of night games says: Ten years ago lighting tennis courts artificially was almost unheard of. Now it is so common nobody thinks any thing of it. Professional ice hockey is played at night at Madison Square Garden in New York. Other games are successful by electric light, so why not night football?

Scarce are the days when Brown Wisdom, a 4-year-old son of Brown Prince II, from the Relchardt stable, does not finish in the money, and today was not one of them, the speedy little gelding winning the eleventh running of the Autumn handicap at Latonia. It was his second straight win. But it was not without struggle that goal. It was a surprise even for Corn-husker fans when Clair Sloan hurled a pass twenty-five yards to Morgan over the goal line for a touchdown. This momentarily upset the invaders and Coach Dana Bible tried desperately to capitalize the situation by a continuation of the air attack, but Pittsburgh was equal to the occasion, although Coach Jock Sutherland replaced three of his backfield and three of his line, including Capt.
