The A Sideline Seat at the Tech Game By Way of Television Atop Lookout BY SPRINGER GIBSON It is Saturday afternoon and you are sitting in an easy chair in the James Moore living room on Lookout Mountain. A group of friends are with you, In Atlanta, more than 120 miles away, Tech and Tulane are playing a football game. But you are watching the action as the Techs 1 score a 13-to-7 victory.

A sell-out crowd of 63,000 went away convinced that the Irish could have scored 100 points If they had chosen to do so, Coach Frank Leahy sent his first two teams -out to get four quick touchdowns in the first half and then spent the rest of the-after noon experimenting with various combinations. Frank Tripucka and Emil Sitko sparked the Irish to their first two markers. Then they joined over regulars on the sidelines for nearly three-fourths of the onesided game as Leahy swept his bench clean. He used all 39 players available. Seven of them participated In the scoring.

Overmatched Overmatched and undermanned, Pittsburgh proved so feeble that the Irish never hauled out their secret weapon the explosive dou-ble-T with its twin quartepbacks which they used to come from behind a week ago against Purdue. The Panthers had pnly three scoring opportunities and blew them a41, lacking the necessary punch on the first two and the necessary time in their final effort as the game ended. Notre Dame drove 85, 42 and 43 yards for half of their touchdowns and cashed in on pass interceptions for two others. But the most beautiful scoring play came in the third period when Lancaster Smith, 158-pound third-stringer from Lebanon, Ky gathered in a punt on the Irish 15 and rambled 85 yards without a man touching him.

Tech struck twice with lightning-like suddenness in the first half and tightened defensively in the third and final periods to protect their hard-earned lead. Fullback Frank Ziegler showed his heels to the Greenies in the first quarter as he srred 5.1 vrrf behind beautiful interference for Tech first score.

Bobby North's conversion gave the Jackets a 7-0 lead. Tulance came back in th sec-end period when Joe Ernst passed to Dick Sheffield for 29 yards on the Tech 6. Two plays carried the ball to the 1 and Ernst plowed over for a touchdown. Euel Davis' boot tied the score at 7-7. The Jackets began to move again In the late minutes of the second quarter.

Quarterback Jimmy oouinara neavea a 40-yard aerial to Bob McCoy, who was hauled down on the Green Wave's 26. McCoy picked up 11 yards and Tu-lane was penalized to the on Southard plunged over for the fi nal score. North failed to convrt, giving Tech a 13-7 edge. Neither team could muster sufficient offensive power to score In the last half. Tech threatened again midway in the third quarter when Southard pitched passes for three consecutive first downs.

Tulane's defense, however, grew stronger and the Greenies took over on their own 22. With five minutes remaining, the Jackets started to mov again with Ziegler and McCoy alternating in ripping off the yardage. They drove to midfield, then Buster Humphreys broke loose for 20 yards on the Tulane 20. Rumsey Taylor fumbted and Paul Lea, the Greenies' star tackle, recovered, ending the last scoring threat. The Yellow Jacket line showed uperiority in holding Tulane's hard-driving backs to 85 yards.

Tech's ball carriers netted 201 yards on the ground. The Jacket passing attack again proved to bt a potent weapon, Tech completing seven out of 10 passes for 100 yards. Tulane connected on four out of 13 tosses for 56 yards. GEORGIA TECH Ends Castleberry, Brodnax. Griffin.

AMERICAN LEAGUE W. 95, L. Pet. GB 57 .627 58 .621 1 Cleveland Boston Warriors held the visitors to 40 yards on the ground. Third Quarter Coach Dean Petersen instilled some extra fight in his boys, for they came back in the third quarter and hold the powerful Warriors scoreless.

Central moved to the City High 39 late in the stanza, but Harper intercepted one of Foster's passes to stop the threat. The Warriors began to move near the end of the quarter, but again an interception stopped the drive, Kibble taking a Foster toss on his 30 and returning to the Central 47. As the scoreless period ended, City High -was on the Central 45 and moving goalward. Fourth Quarter Central found City High's defense for its ground attack too tough in the final period and went overhead for two more touchdowns. First Johnny Gilbert passed from the City High 33 to Bender on the 20.

The Warrior end sidestepped two would-be tacklers and went the rest of the way untouched. Foster's kick spnt the uprights. Just before Bender scored City High had marched to the Central 6, only to lose the ball on downs. The Warriors drove right back, Bender's catch climaxing the 94-yard push. CHATTANOOGA Ends Evans.

CENTRAL CONQUERS LIONS LATEJO'13 From Page Forty-Seven cash register for many when Leon Henry swept eight yards for an in-surancejscore 10 seconds before the final whisle. This timeVim Matheny's placement waa brocked, but it didn't matter.

Qmy six seconds remained in the game. The short kick-off consumed that time, Fullback Ben Ward of Red Bank using most of it in a crushing effort to score. He took the kick-off on his 23 and ran 22 to the 45 as the game-ending whistle sounded while he was being brought down. In summation it would appear that Central's reserve strength won out over the undermanned You are seeing the contest through television. Atlanta's WSB-TV is televising the game.

Here in Chattanooga you have watched Bill Healy star at Baylor, Bob McCoy at Central, Buster Humphreys at McCallie. On the 10-inch screen you see McCoy catch the pass that leads to the Yellow Jackets winning touchdown in the second period. You observe Healy smash through the line to throw the Green Wave for a loss. Late in the battle you look on as Humphreys, used primarily as a punter, starts a Tech drive with a series of runs that show he is more than a kicker. And one of the onlookers says aloud what all of the group are thinking: "They should use Humphreys more for carrying tfie ball." It looks as if Humphreys will lead the Jackets to another touchdown, but Red Patton, Tech halfback, fumbles at the Tulane 26 and iiie Wave recovers.

All that you have seen, as well as Frank Ziegler's 53-yard dash for a score in the first quarter. I You chuckle as he is dumped on his head after crossing the last stripe. You have seen McCoy break up passes on defense. And with it all, you have not purchased a ticket, you have not driven to Atlanta, you have not fought traffic. In fact, between the halves you have gone out on the Moore porch and enjoyed the beautiful vievy of the valley below.

Imagine the newsreel of a foot ball game on the screen of your fa vorite theater, with some fuzziness thrown in, and you have an idea of how well the group in the Moore home saw the Tech-Tulane game yesterday. It was not perfectly clear. The perspective was limited by the camera lens. It was not so good as actually being in a seat at Grant Field and watching the contest. But it was vastly better than merely listening to the broadcast over the radio.

You are amused as the man handling the television camera maneuvers in an effort to keep up with the ball. In these days of the formation (Tech and Tulane were using the T), the teams attempt to hide the ball as long as possible. With two elevens adept at masking the ball carrier's identity, it is a job for the man in the stands to know where the leather is. Occasionally yesterday, the cameraman was fooled. He followed the quarterback, for instance, as that man dashed back to turn and throw a pass.

But the quarterback didn't have the balL He hadtianded it off to the fullback and was merely faking a pass. The cameraman uses close-ups (much the best yesterday from a photographic standpoint) when See Page Forty-Nine, Col. Three MICHIGAN PRESSED TO BEATWEBFOOTS Wolverines Go AH Out for 14-0 Victory Before Crowd 65,800 ANN ARBOR, Oct. (U.P) Michigan qnce again wai hard pressed today to maintain its two-year string of perfect record football, being forced to go all out to score a 14-to-0 triumph over a hard-battling Oregon team before 65,800 fans. At the finish there were many who wondered if Michigan still de served its accolade of "mighty." There were times today when the Wolverines looked mighty futile.

The West Coast invaders, co- favorites to make the Rose Bowl this year, were stopped at the Wolverine goal line twice after swarming over Michigan linesmen whom they outweighed 13 pound to the man. They had not only a smashing ground attack, but an excellent offensive from the air. Norm Van Brocklin, precision passer and one of the West Coast's best field masterminds, sparked the Oregon aerial attack. Halfbacks Chuck Ortmann and Leo Koceski, two sophomores on whom Coach Bennie Oosterbaan is pinning his hopes for a successful season, figured prominently In all of Michigan's gains. Blue and White of Red Bank, But then it is noticed that on the 70-yard drive the first-half Central players who had been shoetringed time and again by deadly Red tackles, were getting away Jim Allison for nine In two straight tries, ditto for Childers.

And in the game-cinching drive, a trio of Johns Childers, BacK and Gill chained five first downs together before the tiring Lion forward wall could dig in. A Red Bank offsides penalty figured in one of the first downs at the 39. Sub Quarterback Leo Matheny engineered the trip and then bowed out for Ed Woy to pass the TD ply to Back. Finally, with the clock running out of ticks, Johnny Back took over. It came after Gill and Don Redding high-lowed Paul Daniels for a 14-yard loss back to the Lion 20 as Pitch in Paul couldn't find a catcher.

Then Elmer Redwine caught Daniels for another -7, dropping him on his 7. After Daniels ran three to the 10 he wobbled a punt to Woy on the 40, who returned it 13 to the Red Bank 27. Gill made two to the 25, Back was stopped once, then burst through center for 13 yards lo the 12. Back, on a guard-around, started the play at guard, dropped back, took the ball from Allison and got great blocking to the Red Bank 4, an. eight-yard trip.

Ten seconds remained then when Henry went wide around Red Bank's right side for the score. Ted Bratcher blocked Jim Matheny's placement. Six seconds to go. Gill kicked off to Ward, who was hauled in as the horn ended the game. The thing of beauty in the first half brilliance of Marion Perkins' Red Bankers was Paul Daniels' 51-yard off-tackle trip to the pay window.

He outdistanced two Cen tral pursuers in the stretch and was without mocKers irom tne 40 on. Red Bank's second touchdown was scored with 15 seconds to go in the first half' and came after Dillard Daniels, Mr. Question Mark, had joined with Brother Paul in moving from' Central's 44. Paul Daniels set the drive stage by intercepting a Woy pass. Central's cause -suffered on this drive for a 15-yard unsportsman like-conduct penalty to the lu.

Ward made one to the 9 and Paul Daniels hit Pete Potter in the end zone. Potter's placement effort went awry." 1 CENTRAL Ends Redding. Tate, Smartt. Sexton. Tackles Kelsar.

2114 Judge Oraad. II HUMPHREYS, M'COY GLITTERFOR TECH McCallie's Buster Punts, Prances Well McCoy Ace" on Defense, Snags Pass BY MOONEY GRIFFITH Times Sport Writer. ATLANTA, Oct 2 Buster Humphreys, former McCallie sat ellite and Whitwell's contribution to the Georgia Tech football squad, blossomed into a full-fledged col legre star at sun-stroked Grant Field this afternoon as the Ram bling Wreck, sputtering and spew ing at times, survived the rugged-ness of Tulane to rack up a 13-to-7 victory in its home debut. Duly recognized as a talented man to have around when a punt is needed. Buster developed into a powerhouse runner, as well, much to the confusion and dismay of the Wave warriors, who expected no such antics from regular Fullback Frank Ziegler's understudy.

In the first half, which saw all the scoring produced, Humphreys was used entirely in a punting role, but in the final half, when Ziegler was getting banged up by the stout Tulaners, Buster shook himself into a runner as prescribed by Prof. Bobby Dodd. The former Tornado star rewarded in style to take his place with such ground-gaining backs as Bob McCoy, the former Central High Purple Pounder, and Ziegler, whom Coach Dodd calls the fastest man on the Tech squad. Humphreys punted six times for an average of 43 yards per try. In the first half, Buster had boots of 45, 43 and 61 yards.

The latter punt -was sharply placed out of bounds. In addition to this nifty display of punting, Humphreys gained 58 yards on six running attempts for runner-up honors in the Tech ground-eating department. That's an average of almost 10 yards a trial and extremely siyiisn pigsKin-pacKing for a youngster subbing for the hard sprinting Ziegler. We have an idea the name Humphreys will be popping into the Tech line-up at frequent intervals this fall and the3' won always De as a punter. McCoy, brainy, bruising and with plenty of vitamins on his football diet, picked up a net 42 yards in his 12 running manipulations in the Jackets' second straight victory in the Southeast ern Conference.

They say Tech wasn't quite as impressive today as the Jackets were against Vanderbilt last Sat urday, but they had the neces sary ingredients to bake a win ning cake for their followers to devour over the firesides and tele vision sets. Bobbing Bob McCoy glittered in more ways than running in his performance before an Atlanta crowd accustomed to topnotch football. McCoy was particularly adept at breaking up passes by a brilliant gentleman named Joe Ernst One pass, which would have tied the contest in the third auar ter, was keeled over by McCoy on tne lecn goal line lust when it seemed Dick Sheffield, standout luiane end, was the man of des tiny for the ever-battling charges oi nenry rnKa. Stopper McCoy On defense, both on passes and ground work of. the Wave, McCov gave a sharp show, and he was a Key man in the Tech offense.

Mc Coy, it must be remembered, was a marked man by Tulane, and this makes his performance all the more admirable. He picked up 16 yards on sprint in the first period to take Tech away from the shadows of its goal posts, and set the stage of Ziegler's 53-yard run for Tech's first touch down. Ziegler, who led the yards-gaining for the Jackets with a to tal of 97 yards in nine attempts, was a human Citation in his nerve-nicking gallop. McCoy was also an eye-opener with his when the signalj called for. him to be on the receiving end of Jim Southard's heaves.

Cm one occasion in the first half McCoy took in a Southard pass that netted the Dapper-Dan Doddmen 40 yards gave them a head start toward the winning touchdown. Bill Healy. another battler familiar to Chattanoogans, was his usual knock-'em-about self as he sets out to make All-Southeastern guard for the third straight sea- See Page Fifty, Column Two Oct, 2 Chattanooga City High's four-game winning streak came to a halt here tonight as a powerful Memphis Central High eleven swept the East Tennesseans from the gridiron, 32 to 0. The mighty Warriors of the Bluff City roared to three touchdowns in the first half and closed out the evening with a pair in the final quarter. City High threatened only once, late in the fourth quarter, but lost the ball on downs and the Warri ors immediately marched to their fourth touchdown of the night.

Central registered 12 first downs while gaining 226 yards over land and 139 through the air. The big Warrior line held City High to four first downs and 74 net yards rush ing, but the Chattanoogans gained 44 with passes. Chuck Bender, Memphis, bril liant pass-snatching end, scored three of the W'arriors touchdowns and played a bang-up defensive game. First Quarter City High put Robert Drokes' kickof in play on the Chattanooga 17, and after three attempts into the line, Bob Kibble quick-kicked over Dick Foster's head on the Memphis 35. Foster returned to the 45, and on the initial running play, fumblel on the midfield stripe, Kibble recovering for City High.

Chattanooga was penalized back to the 45 on an intentionally grounded pass. Harry Franklin plunged to the 50, but fumbled on the next play, Cecil Smith recovering for Memphis. i Foster picked up eight to the 38. then completed a lone pass to End Joe Heyboer on the Chatta nooga 4. Heyboer picked the ball out of the air after George Hen-son deflected it.

Three plays later, Foster bulled over right guard' and kicked point. Memphis, led, 7 to 0, and was on the City High 20 as the quarter ended. Second Quarter On the opening play Foster cut through City High's right guard to the 13. Bill Leftwich was stopped cold and Foster was dropped back on the 18. On thifd down Foster faded, found Chuck Bender open on the 5 and and the Warriors had their second touchdown.

Foster's kick was wide and Memphis led, 13 to 0. City High found the big Warrior line tough and three plays after the kick-off, Kibble kicked to Carl Roe on the Memphis 39. Roe chose a fair catch. Roe tucked the pigskin under the left arm on the first running play, sliced through right tackle, cut back to the sidelines and outraced two City High backs for a touchdown. Again Foster' kick for point was wide and the Warriors had a 19-to-0 lead.

Chattanooga, with Henson passing and Jim Harper running, moved to the Memphis 25 with scconda left to Plav in tne irst Four passes fell incomplete jand Memphis took over.
