Bob Neylands new University of Tennessee Orangemen to a 13-to-0 Victory. The Chattanooga baby blue shirts were vicious on defense, as the score reveals. One of the tallies both were quick pass thrusts Sneed to Porter -came early. The other was not scored until the Vols solved the hard fighting Chattanoogans defense late in the last period. U.

C. Fights Bitterly. The score does not tell how bitterly TJ. C. battled between the two touchdowns.

During that period it-, was very much of a ball game, I assure you, much to the- amazement and sporting acclaim of 7,000 fans, disappointed with the Vols showing so far. The Vols played cautiously, awaiting a break which finally came on a poor punt. The Moccasins, meanwhile, were raying on the superb punting of Hal Wade, and playing a strictly defensive game. And the Vols did not get their second break, by the way, Until Wade left the game, Chattanooga glittered toward the end of the first 4taif -only the-WKtefle stopping them. They brilliantly fought 'their way to the 4-yard line only to lose on downs.

A fifteen-yard penalty and Jo Jo Daughertys fumble, recovered by the alert King Kong Klein, gave them their chance. And they snatched It up like life itself. Versatile Leek Trew passed to John Nar-do. steel-muscled, stocky brother of the famed Andy, for twenty yards. That put the ball' on the 10 and Klein took an end around to the 4.

The Vols took the ball cm downs on the 7, then, but, after the punt a startling lateral, Trew to Klein to little Spitty Ellis netted Sixteen and put the ball op the U. T. 36. The whistle blew. Watiand Runs Hard.

Ellis had been rushed in to run the team in this crisis. Once in the third quarter the Moccasins got in dangerous territory, making MaJ. Bob squirm on the bench with his 7-to-0 lead. At the outset of the half, Capt. Waddles Watiand, whose fumble had put U.

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 26. A "common sense pay-as-you-go old age pension plain was proposed by Gov. A if. M.

Landon tonight in an address assailing the new deals social security. program as a cruel hoax cm workers and wasteful bungling." It endangers the whole cause of social security in this country, the presidential nominee said of present security act. "In my own judgment and I have examined it carefully this law Is unjust, unworkable, stupidly drafted and wastefully financed. Delivering the final major address of his farm belt tour, Landon said there was every probability that cash paid In on compulsory old age insurance will be used for current deficits and new extravagances. He spoke of rolls of neatly executed T.

O. U.s, and added: "If the present compulsory Insurance plan remains in force, our old people are only too apt to find the cupboard bare. Daydreams do not pay pensions. Face Throng of $.300. The governor stood on a stage facing a throng that overflowed the 6,300 seats of7 the city auditorium into nearby halls with loud speaking arrangements.

A two-minute standing ovation from the vast horse-shoeshaped hall greeted his arrival after a drive from his hotel through the rain. Reading his speech on economic security slowly and -with -emphasis into microphones, he said the republican party would enact a pension plan for the aged which would provide for every American citizen over 65 the supplementary payment necessary to give a minimum Income sufficient to protect him or her from want. Landon constantly used his right hand, either with clenched fist or with forefingers extended, for a gesture of emphasis. Several times murmurs of comment ran through the crowd as the governor bit his words to stress phrases. Promise Economical Plan.

To these our old people, our workers struggling for better conditions, our Infirm I will not promise the moon, 1 promise only what know can be performed: Economy, a living pension, and such security as can be provided by a generous people The governor emphasized: believe that as a nation we can afford old age pension that faj a highly Indus tralized country they are necessary. I believe in them as a matter erf social' justice. Landon prescribed the essential principles, for raising the money to pay old age pensions: The necessary funds should be raised by means of a special tax earmarked for this purpose, so that the already difficult problem of budget balancing may not be" further The tax should be direct and visible. The tax should be widely distributed. Only if every one bears his just share can we hope to prevent the plan being used few political purposes.

Minnesota, undefeated through ts last three full seasons and rated by many experts the countrys greatest team last season, turned back Washingtons formidable Huskies, Pacific Coast conference 14 to 7, in a sensational battle fought at Seattle before capacity crowd of 37,000. A fumble by Byron Haines, Washingtons great back, gave Minnesota Its chance in fourth quarter and the Gophers put over the winning touchdown on a pass from Uram to King.

Meanwhile, at Durham, Duke outplayed Colgates Red Raiders by a wide margin, although Eric Tiptons touchdown plunge at the end of a 66-yard drive in the third period represented the only score of the game. A crowd of 26,000 saw this victory for the south in intersectional warfare. From the standpoint of form, the chief upset victims of the opening day were Brown and Lafayette in the east and Mississippi In the south, but at least a half-dozen other favorites were hard pressed to win. Brown and Lafayette supposedly were on the way up the football ladder, thanks to good sophomore material, but the former was trounced by a SALE OF HOTEL IS COMPLETED Foreclosure, Next Step, Be Effected Nov. 1 for Alexians.

Serving blunt notice the United States would go the limit to protect its monetary agreement with Britain and France, Secretary Morgenthau today swung into action Americas' huge stabilization fund to block what he said was a Russian effort to depress the British pound. His action constituted the first public move to enforce the "gentlemens agreement announced last night by France, Great Britain and the United States looking toward stabilization of their currencies; Informed that Russia had ordered the sale early today of 1,000,000 pounds at any price, Morgenthau told a special press conference he "immediately countered with an order to buy, using $5,000,000 from the stabilization fund. The Ruslan move 'was a sensation, al but unexplained development ou the heels of the agreement reached by the three great powers last night for co-operation in devaluation of the franc, Countries Obligated to Help. The agreement provided that countries party to it should use "appropri- ate available resources" to prevent disturbance of international exchange which might result from the understanding that Britain and the United States would not wage a monetary war with France. Morgenthau said he was informed of the offering shortly, after exchange dealings started in New York this morning.

The French and English exchanges were closed. The treasury chief said the Russian selling knocked the pound from $5.02 to $4.91. When the treasury bought pounds, however, the price was pushed back to $4.96. Morgenthau said the Russian move was "the only instance today of any government, tay bank or any individual trying "artificially to influence the foreign exchange markets in the United States. Then, emphasizing each word, he added significantly: I sincerely hope that this' Incident win not be repeated." 1 Asked whether the occurrence had shaken his hopes for the' tri-power understanding, described by Morgenthau as a gentlemens agreement, the treasury chief smilingly replied: As far as the gentlemen are concerned, we are still gentlemen.

BILBAO, Spain, Sept. 25. A fascist aerial armada hurled death and destruction today in a bombardment of this Spanish coastal city. Many buildings were set afh and the streets resounded with the cries of citizens demanding death for insurgent sympathizers. The warplanes roared over the city in a day-long attack, the second in 24 hours.

Bombardment from the air was apparently the sequel to fascist warnings that the city would be destroyed unless Its government defenders surrendered before dawn Friday. The bombers dropped leaflets that the attack would continue until the Surrender was forced to which socialist commander of the citys militia hurled defiant They would hold out to the last man, the government leaders said.

Salengro messaged an prefects In France and Algeria that disturbances would be intolerable at the present time and ordering them to make exemplary arrests if necessary, Majority Seen. consensus of parliament members, hastily assembled tonight, was that Premier Leon Blum would muster a majority Monday sufficient to insure passage of monetary measures devaluating the franc. Advocates of devaluation were encouraged tonight by announcements of Belgian' support and the Swiss fed eral councils declaration that the Swiss franc would be devalued immediately In accordance with the French action.

The socialist premier himself made public assurances that measures would be enacted Immediately to protect the purchasing power of the consumer, against a cheapened currency. To wage earners, fearful that a monetary reform would cause a quick jump In prices, Blum said his financial program was based primarily on Improvement of the average mans Jot. The standard of living for the average French family, devaluationists asserted, would be benefited by: First Stoppage of gold reserve exports. Second Increase of money in circulation. Third Stimulation of business by an expanded French share in world trade.

Premier Blum declared that the French financial program would aid international peace add 'would hot raiseJhe cost of living in France. "Certain preventive measures, protecting the consumer against Impaired buying power, the premier said, would be Undertaken. The monetary program, he said, was not brusquely Imposed, but was the result of "deliberate initiative started last June which I 'hope will lead to international pacification. Assured of Support. Those who would devalue the franc today were assured conditional support from the French communists, previously opponents of a cheapened currency.

In dramatic contrast with the frenzied and fearful selling which greeted the first British step toward devaluation five years ago, the New York Stock Exchange today greeted Frances decision to pursue the same course calmly and cheerfully, with prices advancing. Financial-- leaders pointed to the radically different economic situation of the world today. In explaining this response ofthe New York share market, awaited anxiously in world financial cepters, since New York was the only major securities market open for the short week-end session. Change Relatively Minor. While the decision of the Bank of England to suspend gold payments five years ago represented one of the first of a series of major operations upon an ailing world economy, economists explained that readjusting the value of the franc represented a relatively minor operation upon a patient that has been improving for several years.

Furthermore, the operation upon the franc was hailed by financial authorities in both New York and London as one likely to remove an Important remaining obstacle to recovery. When the pound declined, it had a depressing 'effect upon pride levels in the United States, France and other countries maintaining their currency values. But the United States now has also been devalued. So have many other currencies. The French franc is not an important currency in world trade, anyhow, and has little effect upon world prices.

The recent flight of capital from France, much of it to London, had been pushing the pound sterling higher in relation to both the franc" and the dollar. The pound sold In New York a few days ago at the highest level In two years. With removal of this upward force cm the pound, some had feared that it might fall back suddenly. With so much of the worlds trade dependent upon sterling and its related currencies, a drop In sterling might again unsettle American markets. The market for cotton, Americas chief export crop, reacted cheerfully to the favorable implications for world trade of, bringing the franc into line with other major moneys.
