IN TECH TRIUMPH Conquest of Alexander's Machine Is First Conference Setback For 'Barna Since 1923 and First Defeat Since 1924 Tech Defense Strengthens In Own Terri tory and Tide Fails To Use Scoring Chances Atlanta Ga Oct 25000 football fans sat in hushed silence this afternoon while 'Alabama's Crimson Tide huddled for one last 'valiant stab to overcome Georgia Tech some one in the vut gathering broke the silence with the cry "the king is live the king" Literally it was so The powerful Tide that for three years had held complete mastership of the southern gridiron had lost 13 to The famous 'Bama conquering spirit that had swept aside so many championship hopes had lost its first football game within the conference since that bleak Thanksgiving Day in 1923 when it was subdued by Florida Ends Long Reign Tech's victory over 'Barna today broke a winning streak that has extended from 1924 when Center's Colonels defeated the Tide Twice in that time Alabama has been held to tie scores Louisana State's scoreless draw with the Tidesmen last Saturday being the second It was one of the longest strings of victories by a major team in -many years The Crimson breakers had come in had broken for sixty minutes over the bleak shores of Georgia Tech's highest hopes and had gone out with the setting autumn sun leaving little devastation The nimble-footed acrobat of the collegiate stage Stumpy Thomason and bole-picking Mizell had tri emptied The charges of Bill Alex ander bad overcome the rushes of 'Bama's 200-pound line Almost A Simple Story For fifty-nine full minutes it looked as though the story could be told in the few missed a tackle Georgia Tech won a football game" for in the second period when the Tornado had the ball on the Tide's 30-yard line it was Thomason who dashed around his left end pivoted once changed his pace and then raced to a touchdown It was a momentous time in the history of Georgia Tech That piece of broken field running of Stumpy marked the first time the Yellow Jackets bad scored an an Alabama football team since 1922 This Thomason a mere mite of a player in height then calmly kicked goal from placement for the extra point Tide Lacks Drive In Pinch Alabama still however looked far from defeat Within the 40-yard line the Crimson charged with unstoppable power But once their vaunted threat neared the Jacket goal their effort went to naught The play of the Tide within scoring distance constituted end running and line plunging with no passes attempted to carry the ball over In midfield however the Crimson had flashed a dangerous aerial attack Just before the game ended Mizell recovered en Alabama fumble almost on the Tide goal line and on the next play he stumbled from the one-yard line to a touchdown Thomason missecl goal At the start of the game it looked as if Alabama would score early Barnes showed an aptness for receiving passes while Brasford Holm and McClintock tore off yardage handily but the punch was not sufficiet4 to penetrate the Tornado goal when four down the gridiron In yardage gained the teams were well matched both reeling off frequent first downs although Alabama lost more ground from scrimmage than did

University of North Carolina football squad invades Atlanta next Saturday October 22 to engage Georgia Tech on Grant Field That promises to be one of the stiffest tasks faced by the Tar Heels in years for the Yellow Jackets always a hard team to beat tonight stands out lin bold relief on the conference map as a result of its 13 to 0 victory this afternoon over Alabama's champions This will mark the second time the two institutions hare on the gridiron although they have clashed repeatedly in the 'other major sports Their only previous meeting was in 1916 when the then famous "Golden Tornado" barely nosed out North Carolina 10 to 6 That was back in the days of Tech's gridiron immortals Strapper Guyon and Flowers and the Tar Heels were touted to the skies for holding the Tornado to such a tight score In those palmy days the Jackets were wont to romp over all comers by mountanious scores and it was nothing short of remarkable that the North Staters could battle them so close Tech Fools Supposed Experts Pre-season dope this fill failed to herald the Yellow Jackets as a dangerous combination Sports scribes all over the South said that they would be a mere ghost of their former brilliant teams but so far they have shown unexpected strength Coach Alexander has molded his at' tack around "Stumpy" Thomasson who is a fine ball-carrier and has filled the role of Barron and Wycoff very well as chief threat man In the first conference game the Jackets won from I by a lone touchdown and last week they stemmed Talane's Green Wave 13 to 6 These two games proved easier than expected

second victory in two weeks for Mount Airy who play Oak Ridge scrubs next week Brilliant Play of De Hart's Machine Against Eleven Which Last Year Defeated Duke Puts Devils Further In Limelight Spiders Fight Gamely By BEN DIXON MacNEILL Hanes Field Durham Oct Scoring just a mere place in the sun that lights the world of football hereabouts which would have contented its most ardent partisans Duke University more or less took the sun in its lap and sat down with it this afternoon when it confused the prophets by pulverizing the University of Richmond and burying the remains under the most colossal football score piled up on a North Carolina field in forty years The score incidentally was Duke 72 Richmond Duke ran wild It scored eleven touelidowns A slender youth by the name of Adams made a half dozen of them which also breaks all the records that graybeards like Josh Horns can remember anything about Such things may have happened forty years ago when old Trinity licked everything in the South with a team that boasted of seven mustaches and one goatee After that Duke went into an eclipse from which it did not truly finally emerge until this afternoon despite jumps into the sun in earlier games Richmond came down filled with confidence and speaking somewhat uppishly of the fact that approximately this same team atinlinistered upon the Duke estate a year ago with the long end of a nine to seven score Duke didn't know just what to the first four minutes of play By the end of tbe first half the score-keepers were calling for adding machines and some of these electrical timing Idevices with which the speed of air-I planes and racing automobiles are calculated After that the only interest in the game was an academic curiosity as to what lengths Dellart would let his team go before he stopped the slaughter He never did let it stop Maybe he remembered that a week ago Cornell University was able to Seore 59 points neninst these Virginians DeIlart let them continue to run wild until they had added thirteen points more to the Cornell score which can be interpreted by those inclined to interpretative pursuits as putting Duke in the Cornell class Buie To Adams is Poison This afternoon they belonged there This young Adams boy from down in Wilson and another youth from Winston-Salem by the name of Buie were the chief offenders against Richmond They had a system of forward passes that paralyzed the Virginians Almost at will Buie would drop back and Adams would dash forward Buie would send the ball hurtling for-(-Please Turn to Page Two) i 1f 1 11 1 1 -T:".
