OUTPLAY BAMA FOR 9-2 VICTORY Crimson Eleven Fails To Show ENSLEY AERIAL THRUSTS PROVE FATAL TO CATS After Scoring Four Touchdowns In First Half, Jackets Halt. Form Displayed In Vandy Struggle. BY GEORGE REYNOLDS. 'JME: Beginning of the fourth quarter. Place: Itlckwood Field.

WhoS Who: Frog Miller, Panther quarterback lima. Occasion: 75-yard dash touchdown. Result: Birmingham-Southern 14, University of 7. Miller, besides field general-ing Panther forces to victory in biggest upsets of tho local season, slipped through milled his way through a field a distance of 75 yards perfectly good touchdown as half of tho struggle was close and the acore deadlocked, scoring the winning counter Chattanooga Moccasins. a brilliant climax to a so-net thrilling and spectacular suddenly unlocking the draw prevailed since Talman, star, had bucked and way down the field for a Juet before ths first half tielng a previous Panther which had resulted from football by the locals.

struggle was sensational due largely to the aerial resorted to by both combinations in the pigskin changing numerous occasions. Dope was knocked for pair the Panther romped home to the highly touted warriors Lookout City.

football they were easily of their opponents, putting first counter without tho use played great form while Winger and Barnes proved exceptionally dangerous. The entire Panther combination were considered heroes after their great playing. Coop Green and Hoes Gandy were the outstanding performers In ths line. The work of this pair of forwards did as much to give victory to Birmingham-Southern as any ether one factor. Miller directed the Panther attaok In almost flawless style.

Rogers gained well at tlmeie, but was not consistent. Norton did well, while the diminutive Greek Griffin assumed a big portion of the backfield honors. Two substitute backs, Mit Green and John Mabry, came in for a huge share of the glory The tackling of the entire Panther outfit, especially the backfield entries, was marked by a viciousness and abandon which brought the charges of the Chattanooga backs to an abrupt halt on practically every ociaslon. The etellar tackling of the Birmingham Southern eleven was really one of the features of their plus.

He Also punted well throughout the game filling the place of the injured Dixon very capably. Duncan, his running mate, another 200-pounder, also played a great game on the offensive. The contest started out In the form of a punting duel with Newton, aided by the wind, coming out the best. It was only after five minutes of ball exchanging that the Gators took the oval and inaugurated a rush down the field, Duncan and Newton alternated at ramming the line and could not be checked, the latter finally scoring the touchdown after being tackled by several Alabama men.

Ga, No v. Jl-The tooJ ball game here today betwet Georgia Tech and the GeorgetoW University eleven promised to be one the hardest of the season on Dlx, gridirons. Both teams were determine to win. Georgetown had In mind 35 to 8 defeat at Techs hands last ye, and was determined to efface the men; ory of that occasion by turning tb tables In today's clash. Tech, on th other hand, was stilt chafing from tt lashing at ths hands of Penn State a the Polo Grounds In New York tW weeks ago, and was equally resolved i win today to wipe out that memory far as possible.

The odds were slightly In favor Georgetown because of a heavier Ur and a flashy backfield, aided by ir; juries to two or more of Techs stq players.

Nov. Tigers and Ole Miss an ready for their annual grid conflict or State Field Saturday Th University of Mississippi eleven arrive here Friday night 20 strong, and wer reported by Coach Robinson to be ir splendid condition. The Tigers wrll probably send a somewhat makeshif backfield In agajnst the Ole Miss clan due to the fact that several men an still out with injuries and also becaus the annual conflict with Tulane loom: on the horizon. Helm and Ewen will not play, while is certain that Ives and McFarland wll only play in case the Tigers do noi start off well against the Mlssisslpp aggregation. Louisiana had expected a soraewhal easy game with the Ole Miss team earh In the week, but the unexpected, thougli somewhat slight injury, to Ives, coupled with the Inability of Ewen and Helm tc engage in the game, have sent Tiger stock down somewhat, and unless the Tigers patched up backfield shows unexpectedly good form, the Louisiana eleven will be victors by only a narrow margin.

McFarland, and Curtis, star end, who has been out for some time, will play part of the game.

One was a slip of figures, wherein we had Colgate 7, Rochester 7, as we make no attempt to hedge with a tie. The figures intended were Colgate 17; Rochester 7. We figured the Chieago-Ohio State game a toss up, with Chicago having a slight edge, which failed to deve.op.

But there were two distinct Jolts. One was the crushing victory of Notre Darne against the Army. This was entirely unexpected. The other was Nebraska's victory over Pittsburgh after a journey eastward. This also was unexpected.

Princeton's seven-point margin over Harvard was called to the point. Never forgetting that only the ones you missed are remembered, we submit the above margins today without an apology against unseemly fate. Two Bafflers. Right off the reel we bump into a brace of contests that are baffling In he extreme. We have figured for some time that YaJe would be good enough to beat both Princeton and Harvard.

But the game with Princeton will be harder and closer than we thought It would be. Princeton will be at her best against Yale and It should be no shock at all to see Princeton win If the Tiger can get a passing game under way. Yale will have an advantage ah kicking and running, but the outcome depends mainly upon rival qualities of the passing attack. Yale's defense against the pass was ragged In the Army game, and in this respect Princeton had better schooling through her Navy, Chicago and Harvard gumes. ail stronger opponents than Yale las yet faced.

Yale, with a stout line, good ends and five or six good backs, has enough to win with If her passing game works moderately well. But neither team has sufficient advantage to work its way to victory against the breaks of battle. Navy-Penn Stats. At first we were inclined to pick the Navy to beat Penn State. This may happen without any attending shock But we rather like Penn State's better display of the forward pass, plus the all-around value of Killlnger.

The Navv undoubtedly has a stronger defense, the best line defense In the East But we have an idea that Folwell has had a hard time keeping his team on edge after the top form shown as far back as mid-October against Princeton. The Navy then was flawless. It was rot nearly so-good last Saturday against Bueknell. This game, on general form, is too close to be called by figures, for they are both great machines. If the Navy wins it should heat the Army again and carry the right to dis-put anv rival claim to an Eastern championship.

There will not be nearly as much of a mythical championship at stake at New Haven as there wl 1 be In Philadelphia. WISCONSIN, one of the most powerful of ihe Western teams, should win from Michigan. Ohio State and Iowa now look to be safely- by in the Western Conference, with Wisconsin still facing Michigan and Chicago. Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Chicago are stronger collectively than any four machines one could name from the East and you can make this five by adding Notre Dame, outside of the conference. There will at least three great battle In the South, on of ths hardest being ths clash between Georgia Tech and Georgetown.

Gsorgstown's powerful machine will have an advantage If Flavin is In ahap. Vanderbilt and Georgia, both unbeaten in Southern competition, look to be nip and tuck, with Georgia slightly favored. Centre will have a mighty battle with Auburn, but Centre looks to be slightly ehead. a KILLINGER looks as well as usual against the Navy he will be the leading quarterback of the East, for his work so far has been one of the seasons tallest features. LAFAYETTE and Cornell, two great machines, look to be past all trouble.

There Is only a bare possibility either will be beaten now. Sewanee Meets Vols In Knoxville Trnn, Nov. 12.

With all the dope favoring Georgia and eleventh hour changes in the line-up looked for, Van-derblt today on Dudley Field will meet the Athenians in one of Dixies football classics. All the cripples on both rival machines with the exception of Halfback Dick Hartley, of Georgia, and Quarterback Doc Kuhn, of Vandy, are certain to be in the line-ups. Paige Bennett has recovered sufficiently to return to his flank position and A1 Sharpe will be at center for the Commodores. But it is more than likely that Overall will replace Bradford at tackle for Vanderbilt, since the latter showed little offensive or defensive ability against Alabama. Whether Bailey or Williams, formerly fullback, who has been converted into a guard, will open in the line.

Is a matter the coaches were not prepared to definitely discuss tonight "We will not give up until the last whistle blows, declared Coach McGu-gln, while Coach Stegeman. of Georgia, declared that, while he naturally expected to win, he looked for a hard-fought game and resulting in a very close score. An aerial attack letting loose practically everything which Vandy has in stock is confidently expecter by Vandy backers, althought the coaches have been extremely secretive about their plan of attack. Still, with the stubborn defense which Georgia Is expected to offer, there seems little likelihood that the Commodores can expect to score In any manner other than through the air. In weight the two lines are about a standoff, Georgia average 184 against 183 for the CiVmodores, although the Bulldog forwards have a wide advantage In experience since the McGugin linemen are mostly freshmen and sophomores.

The line-up follows: Vanderbilt: Tot McCullough, left end; Frank Elam, left tackle: Bill Bailey or Red Williams, left guard; Alf Sharpe, center; Pink Wade right guard; Overall, right tackle: Tom Ryan, right end- Frank Oodchaux, quarterback; Rupe Smith, left half: Jess Neely, right half: Lynn Bomar, fullback.

Successive penalties on Texas carried the ball close to the Texas goal, McGowan bucked the line for a score, then kicked goal. Texas in the first three quarters broke up the passing game tried by the Aggies, and ths Mississlppians were unable to make gains through the line, while the superior weight of the Longhorns enabled them to make big gains through the lighter Mississippi forwards.

BY TOM HALL. ON'TGOMERY. Nov. 12. Sidney Lanier high school football team eliminated Grove Hill here this afternoon as contenders for prep school honors by defeating them 7 to 0.

Lanier scored the lone touchdown early in the third period when Hudson sent a forward pass to McFaden. who ran 25 yards for a touchdown. Up until the game today, Grove Hill had not been defeated, and had not been scored upon, Whlle Lanier enjoys the same record tonight. The game was one of the hardest ever fought on the local gridiron, knd the plajers displayed football, that stuwed excellent coaching. Grove Hill presented three Individual stars in Barnes.

G. Gill is and Coates Barnes, with proper Interference, would be in "Buck Flow-(grs class, while Gillie kicking la the best ever witnessed here. Coates, playing a tackle position, time after time spilled Lanier backfield players before they got started. OBrien, playing his first game for Lanier, lead on the offensive, making three-fourths of the first downs registered by his team. OBrien made off tackle smashes for good gains, while atterson and E.

Willis made big gaips on end runs. Hulson was Injured in the second quarter, and after this never ran with the ball. In the first quarter Gregg tried for.a field goal while standing on the 45-yard line, but failed. In The next quarter Grove Hill carried the ball to Laniers 23 yard line, but the half ckised before thev could continue their march. In the third quarter after six minutes of play, Lanier carried the ball within scoring distance of Grove Hill goal.

Hudson dropped back as if to make an end run, and then shot the ball to McFaden, who received it on the run, and raced 25 yards for a touchdown, McFaden making the run ithout interference. In the last few minutes of play, Barnes was in the act of receiving a forward pass that would have netted a touchdown, but Hudson leaped into the air and smashed the play, saving a touchdown for his team.

The winning time, 1 minute and 11 second was exceedingly fast under the difficulties which were presented.

HE lsley Yellow Jackets' startling effective aerial attack liter-lly and figuratively whirled over the Jefferson County Wildcats for four touchdowns In the first half of their game Friday, after which the Jeffersonians settled down and played them even tn the final half, sooruig once on a blocked kick, giving the Westerners a 25 to win. The first touchdown came after Ens-ley kicked off to the Cats and the latter fumbled, Ensley recovering. From the 40-yard line. the Jackets, flashing an efficient attack, and with their shift timed to perfection, pushed it over for a tally. Manly carrying the ball.

Ensley attempted an onaide kickoff, and it waa successful when Jefferson fumbled the pellet, with Ensley recovering. -A neat gam by Scokel waa followed by the smearing of several plays by the now aroused ildcats. and Scokel then shot a pass to Walker for a 20-yard net. A few more plays and the same ethcral combination produced a touchdown. Scokel booted this goal, but his other three attempts of the entertainment were unsuccessful.

Following another attempted trick kickoff Jeiferson couldn't guln and De-Shazo punted to the 35-yard line, from where another passing attack was inaugurated, this time, however, alternated with a running threat which was highly effective, Scokel finally carr) Ing the oval across in a sweeping run from spread formation. The final tally for the winners came just before the whistle, when little Zach Walker agaiu plucked one out of the air for a score, following the same spectacular passing drive, with occasional bucks interspersed. Ensley received to open the second half and being unable to gain after a pair of attempts, Mendenhall dropped back to punt, the oval being on his own 20-yard stripe. Three Jefferson men were on him almost at the snap of the boll, Franklyn blocking it and Snyder picking it up and traveling the distance tc the goal in Paddock style. After that the ball see-sawed back and forth, most of the time in Wildcat territory, and with numerous backfield in motion penalties costing the Ensley-ites another touchdown.

The Jefferson line, inside its 30-ard line, showed re markable ability, breaking up the usually efficient interference of the Westerners in splendid stjle, while one long boot by Mendenhall early in the quarter, which took a nasty hop by Clay and rolled to the eight-jard line, kept the fight well in Jeffcohis land. DeShazo retaliated for this boot towards the end of the game, when he stuck his toe into a long, low punt which bounded across the goal line, fully 60 yards from where it began the Journey. Neither team was able to do much with the other, until in the closing minutes, Ensley began working down the field, Scokel and Voweel, who had replaced Manly, tearing off huge hunks of ground, but penalties and an intercepted pass ruined the cliance. Scokel was the bright, particular star for the winners, covering ground at a monstrous clip With his galloping, hard running style. He also passed well and played a neut defensive.

Fayette plajed a really fine game, particularly on the offense, opening big holes for Ills backs to plough through. Williams at center and Walker at end were other glistening gems In the Westerners constellation. Snyder's end work waa probably the highest caliber of the year. Time after tune he Staved off interference and brought down the man when he couldnt do that he always put two or more blockers out of the running. Besides this he scored the only touchdown when he broke through and recovered the blocked punt.

Barton mussed up play after play sent at him and when called on to carry the oval, always responded with a robust effort. Self nnd Franklyn also starred on the line, while Clay and DeShazo proved the backfield luminaries. The latters tackling was especially noticeable. "Bonk" Taylor, a tiny end playing Initial game, tackled savagely and looks Ilka a real find. He went in for Ralph Dismuke in the third period.

The backs also showed the lack of effective tackles and their Interference was not of a very high order, never being able to pierce the Florida defense effectually. The Alabama backfield at times showed flashes of form but, as a whole, performance was not up to standard. Baty and Bartlett made several pretty gains, but were not consistent. Lester Thomas played well on the defense and showed ability to snag passes, catching practically all the aerial tries that Alabama attempted.

Talman wa far from All-Southern Friday. He really a great football player, no doubt, and showed evidences of greater ability than was demonstrated against the Panther, being handicapped by in. Jury and receiving little help from hi teammate. But If Talman I an All-American back thi season, Goat Hale, of Mississippi College, Is an All-American team. On the other hand, the great Talman Is a master of the triple threat, a combination which gives a backfield man the greatest chance to star.

He 1b one of the best punters In the South, although he got off several bud tries Friday.

The greet Talman waa Injected into the gam at this juncture, and the tide of battle suddenly turned for the moment. A eerie of bucks, combined with two well exeouted forward passes from Talman, placed the ball on the 8-yard line, add Telman bucked over for the tielng counter. It required about five minutes for the Talman offense to complete Ite work, and It wa during this five minutes of the game that the Chattanoogane outplayed the local clansmen for the only time. Tha third quarter was nip and tuck, with Talnmns punt being one of the biggest factor in keeping tho Panthers away from the Chattanoogane goal line.
