-Georgia Tech came from behind this afternoon to pull a hot game cut of the fire and North Carolina's Tar Heels It was a nip and tuck battle with the Tar Heels leading throughout until the Tornado tied it up within two minutes of the end when Lassiter fumbled and Tech made a 31- yard march, climaxed when Milligan, a substitute back, crashed the line for a yard and touchdown and McArthur dropkicked the one extra point he tried during the afternoon. With two minutes to go, Carolina shot its bolt with 8 last minute aerial attack. White passed 10 Thompson and to Cozart for a pair of first downs, but Neblett, Tech center, intercepted the next pass. The last minute was spent in a wild orgy of passing and re-passing, Thompson intercepting a Tech heave and Neblett intercepting another Carolina toss. Rip Slusser, Stuart Chandler and Tom White scored the Carolina touchdowns and Chandler got one extra point in three tries, his first.

Incidentally -Slusser topped all ground gainers with 166 yards, for 18 tries. Croom was second high with 77 yards for 11 tries and following them were a trio of Jacket speedsters---McArthur with 63 points for nine; Hart with 62 for 17 Galloway, a substitute who performed noteworthily, with 52 for 10.

The score board read Carolina 13, Tech 0 and it looked like Carolina day. About that time, however, June Underwood, one of the mainstays in the Tar Heel line, got hurt and had to leave the game.

Tech redoubled its efforts and from then on it was 8 nip and tuck game, the closeness of which only the actual staistics could show. Statistics Also Close.

Tech Draws Near. The Techmen started their rally Immediately after Chandler bucked that second Carolina touchdown over. Cherry got the kick-off and returned it to his 35, and with Galloway, Hart and McArthur alternating and plieing the line and racing around the ends, Tech made a series of short, methodical gains that cartied them across the last white after an unhalted march of 65 yards. McArthur drove center for three yards and the score. Williams missed the try for point.

They swapped blows the rest of the half with Tech getting one first down, Carolina none and neither team threatening seriously. The Tornado blew into a fury early da the second half. Carolina received but Tech held and got the ball on Carolina's 47 after Croom's short punt. Galloway found a hole at left guard and ran 30 yards on the second play. Tech was thrown back 15 yards when penalized for holding, but the Jackets came right back.

GEORGIA VICTORY TOPS DIXIE'S DAY Athens Bulldogs' Win Gets Spotlight; Dopesters Have Good Day in South By the Associated Press. Georgia's triumph over New York University in an intersectional football game, 7 to 6. overshadowed Southern Conference interest in Dixie yesterday as the other giants of the Southland won handily as predieted. Tulane, which meets the Georgia Bulldogs next week, was held for one period by a defensive and determined Auburn Tiger but the swift backs of the Greenies put on steam to crush the Plainsmen in the last three periods, 27 to 0.

Tennessee, another major conference squad, went out of the circle to lambast Carson-Newman, 31 to 0. Alabama ran up 41 points against the University of Florida in the first game between two institutions at Birmingham since 1923, while Vanderbilt and Maryland went on a scoring spree, the Commodores winning 39 to 12. in Louisiana another State took on the Army intersectional tilt of Southern interest and was dropped 20 to Virginia bowed to Columbia 27 to 0. North Carolina's game with Georgia Tech was the conference's lone upset. The Tar Heels were voted by experts, but Tech developed as equally effective offense and the contest ended in a 19-all deadlock.

Duke barely managed to nose out a 7 to 0 win over the Kentucky Wildcats; Sewanee turned the trick to defeat Mississippi by the same score; Virginia Military Institute made the point after to defeat Clemson, 7 to Washington and Lee won from Virginia Polythenic, 6 to 0, and the Mississippi Aggies were downed by North Carolina State by a like score.

TULANE TROUNCES AUBURN Green Wave Sets Stage For Georgia Meeting by Top-: ping Plainsmen, 27-0 Montgomery, Nov. Big Green Wave swept to a 27 to 0 victory over a valiant Alabama Polytechnic election here today after the lighter Plainsmen wad held the Southern Conference leaders scoreless for most of the first half. More than ten thousand spectators filling Cranton bowl to capacity, watched with amazement as Auburn's thin forwards blocked all Tulane's scoring threats until the last two minutes of the second per10d and themselves twice penetrated deep into Greenie territory. Zimmerman's 35 yard run back of an Auburn kick to the men's 42, set the spark for the first successful Tulane offensive which brought a touchdown just as the half ended.

It was a different 'story in the third period as Tulane drove 75 vards after downing the kick off on their 25, for their second touchdown and four minutes later had another score following a sixty yard advance. The final score came early in the last period. Nollie Felts, the big junior fullback from Mississippi, reached his top form of the season, tearing the opposing line to pieces and personally scoring three of Tulane's four touchdowns. Twice in the first period Tulane was in scoring position but once an intercepted pass on the five yard ble on the advances. ine by Hitchcock, and again a fumFumbles hurt the chances of both teams in the second period but near time Zimmerman took a kick on his 25, ran to the sidelines and was snagged from behind on the Plainsmen's 42.

An 18 yard pass Zimmerman to Haynes, slipped in among several large running gains, brought Tulane to the eight yard line and first down. Three plays failed but on the fourth Glover hurdled on the line for the touchdown and then place kicked goal. Tulane needed plays and four minutes to score in the third quarter from the 25 yard line and quiekly came back to count its third touchdown following A drive starting from its own 40 yard line Felts lugging the ball across both times. An 75 yard succession of short gains started in the third period made a last touchdown early in the fourth and Felts who scored and most of the other regulars retired in favor of substitutes.

M. here today and won its first conference game of the year by a lone touchdown resulting from pa blocked punt. The score was 6 to 0. The North Carolina State touchdown came in the third period, when, after an exchange of punts, the Maroons were backed to their 15-yard line. Stroupe, Wolf tackle, blocked the punt of Ogden, Aggie end, who had dropped, back to kick, and Greason, scooped up the loose ball and stepped across the goal line for the score.

Jeffrey's dropkick for extra point was blocked. Both teams played on comparatively equal terms throughout the first half of the game. The Maroons threatened the visitors goal near the end of the first period when off tackle slants and end runs of Herrington and Wichman placed the ball on the five-yard line. There the North Carolinians stiffened. Following the State touchdown in the third quarter, both teams started offensives which failed to get much beyond midfield.

Hold At 1-Yard Line. Both teams used straight football for three quarters of the It was not until final period the Maroons uncorked a dazzling aerial attack with Sikes, substitute for Davis and which brought Herrington, throwing, passes to the ball to the North Carolina one vard line. Again the stubborn North Carolina line staved off the touchdown. Greason's Kicking Features. Greason, State end, who dropped back to do all the Wolfpack's punting, kept the edge for State in kicking.

His punts averaged well above 40 yards and were instrumental in gaining the position which gave them their touchdown and victory. Bohannon, substitute for Dellinger, was a (constant threat in the backfield. His off-tackle slants and thrusts at the middle of the line were good for yardage almost every time. Cobb, Espey Lead Line. The State line, which was much heavier than the Maroon's, but was somewhat erratic in midfield, braced when it most needed strength, on each of three occasions it stubbornly held the Maroons when a yard or two meant touchdowns Captain Cobb, gaint tackle, led the line play.

He was ably supported by Espey 0 at center and Greason at end. Herrington, Maroon quarterback, matched kicks with Greason until he was injured in the third quarter. Then Sikes, who substituted for him. turned his attention to an aerial attack which threatened to destroy the six-point lead held by the Wolfpack. His longest and most thrilling effort was a pass to Davis who received it for a 37 yard gain.

A peculiar feature of the Maroon team was a midget backfield which averaged 150 pounds. Infrequent penalties for roughing, holding and offside were alloted to each team. The Maroons lost 85 yards, and State lost 70. The Aggie line played consistently throughout the game. Ward and Nash at guard were best on defense.

Taya lor at tackle played a very aggressive game. Eikes' passing was always a threat to the visitors but the Aggies completed only four of ten tries visitors attempted five passes, none of which was completed. First S. I. C.

VANDY SMOTHERS OLD I LINER HOPES Commodores Register 39-12 Victory For Maryland's First 1931 Setback Nashville, Nov. a crushing offensive attack supported superbly by an almost impenetrable defense, Vanderbilt overwhelmed hitherto unconquered Maryland 39 to 12 here today.

A crowd of close to 10,000 saw the Old Liners toppled from their perch near the top of the Southern Conference gridiron ranks. Both teams now are out of the running for the loop title, since the Commodores previously had lost games to Tulane and Georgia. The gold and black warriors of Dan MeGugin scored six touchdowns on straight, running football, four of which came in the third period when their offensive drive reached its height. Maryland, resorting to a passing game, after its line plays failed to click, counted twice in the second period. Forward passes placed the team in scoring position each time.

Tommy Henderson, 155-pound derbilt quarterback, featured the Commodore onslaught with a beautiful 59-yard touchdown jaunt on the second after the start of the second half. was a fake reverse play, and was executed perfectly. CRIMSON TIDE SWAMPS FLORIDA 'GATORS. 41-0 Birmingham, Nov. Alabama's Crimson Tide developed amazing power after a scoreless first period today to crush Florida's football team 41 to 0.

Florida penalties for roughness in the second period twice placed the ball on their one-yard line from where Cain and Long, Alabama backs, scored. Cain and Long started the touchdown with a first down on Florida's parade, Cain broke through guard before being stopped on Florida's 7. Three line thrusts aided by the first Florida penalty carried the ball over. QUAKERS DEFEAT GURLEY'S BEARS Guilford Continues Clear Record in Little Six by Topping Lenoir-Rhyne Guilford College, Nov. Lenoir-Rhyne Bears were dued effectively in the first three periods by the Guilford Quakers this afternoon, and though they drove down for a score in the last they started too late, and lost the game 18 to 6 on the Guilford thletic Field.

Guilford got the jump early in the game when Newton fumbled the first play after the kickoff and Bouton got on it for Guilford on the 25-yard line. Guilford drove down to the goal and lost the ball on downs. On the next play Newton was hit behind the line by Haworth and Purnell, the ball bounded over the line and Haworth recovered for a Guilford touchdown. Early in the second half after a punt exchange, Guilford was in midfield. The Quakers got in position to score when Jamieson raced around end to the 15-yard Bunn and Jamieson made it first down.

The Bears refused to be budged on the next three plays, but on last down Bunn wonts over. 0 five later for to plays Lenoir-Rhyne fumbled the kick off on the 30-yard line and lost the ball. A 15-yard penalty and an off-tackle play put Bunn on the far side of the white line again. Things went the other way in the last period which was all LenoirRhyne and mostly all Newton. A punt exchange gave the Bears the ball on their 30-yard line.

Newton ran 18, passed to Barkby for 12 and after Love had him back of the line broke away for 20 yards. Then Newton made five and turned the wheel over to Hughes who plunged the line three times to score five minutes before the game ended.

TIDE AND MOCCASIONS TO PLAY FOR CHARITY Chattanooga, Nov. -The University of Alabama will play the Chattanooga Moccasins in a charity football game here on December 5. Arrangements for the post-season game were announced today by Al Porzelius, chairman of Chattanooga community chest.

Proceeds will be given to the social service bureau, affiliated with the community chest. I Special Correspondent. Stoll Field, Lexington, Nov. -As Ellis Johnson, brilliant Kentucky halfback, posed on his own 33. yard line preparatory to throwing a pass down the field, Fred Crawford, sophomore end for the Duke Blue Devils, hooked his arm, the ball went straight up and came down in the arms of Welton "Pap" Harton, Blue Devil's tackle, who raced 21 yards down the field for a touchdown.

Captain Brewer added the extra point from placement. That third period incident accounts for the only scoring in the DukeKentucky battle here this afternoon. It is, too, the true story of the Blue Devils' 7-0 victory over the Wildcats. But during the entire game the Dukemen played a brand of defensive ball that will be talked hereabouts for generations to come, for time and the fighting boys of Wallace Wade, backed up near their own goal line, held a crew of fast-stepping Kentucky backs to take the ball on downs. And then the Duke soph halfback, Nick Laney, came through in good style in punting out of From a statistical standpoint the Wildcats deserved a victory but the Devils' everlasting fight must be taken into consideration when one glances at the figures on the game, for it was not Kentucky, that lacked the punch but fierce Blue Devils, backed up to their goal line, that would not be brushed aside.

Laney Delivers. If Nick Laney, the brilliant sophomore back, needed two beautiful performances on consecutive Saturdays to gain the confidence of the Duke coaches, the masters of Duke football should now be ready to tell him their innermst secrets, for that pound fighter is one good reason why Kentucky's Wildcats failed to score. He did not star running the ball, gaining only four yards in three attempts, but his brilliant punts, which averaged 37 2-7 yards, his defensive work and his stellar, back of Wildcat kick contributed an exceedingly great part to the showing the Devils made. Other Duke Leaders. But he was not by himself in the starring roles.

Captain Kidd Brewer WAS the offensive attack and was able to gain yards enough to kill time in the fourth quarter; Don Hyatt and Fred Crawford, two Weaverville boys, who play ends stopped Wildeats' threat, Duke's, "Shipwreck" Kelly in his tracks on every play he tried, and Emory Adkins, the fierry center, although playing opposite a 234-pounder, did more than his share of work in stopping the Wildcats. The Kentuekians made 12 first downs to Duke's three. They gained 67 yards on four passes they pleted out of ten tries. 'They had. four tosses intercepted.

Duke gained 15 yards on the one pass completed in two attempts and had one intercepted. The Tildeats were penalized 60 yards while the Devils lost 11 in that manner. Kentucky fumbled once and Duke recovered it, but the Devils held the ball tightly today and did muff. not, Wildcats gained 257 yards from the line of scrimmage to Duke's 60, and Kercheval, Kentucky fullback, punted 7 times for 224 yards and averaged 32, while Laney kicked 14 times for 522 yards, averaging 37 2-7 yards from the line of scrim- mage. Check Four Threats.

To be exact the Wildcats were within the Devils' five-vard line four times during the first half. On the second of these four threats they had the ball on the Devils' one-yard line but the fighting Dukesters held them off. Three times of the four the ball was within scoring distance with four downs to make it in. In midfield, Kentucky's backs were able to gain the ground, but once they got near the Duke goal line, it was another story. They tried to cross over by every known method, passing, end running and line plunging but they could not do it.

Then The Score! It was in the third period, after Lane, had punted Wildcats' 56 yards from midfield over the goal line, that the great event happened for Duke. Johnson started to pass, but, just as he did in the Wake Forest game at Durham three weeks ago, (Please Turn to Page Three.).
