Knoxville, Oct. Paced by Joe Kilgrow, one of the South's most versatile backfield performers, Alabama combined passing and power today to overcome Tennessee, 14 to 7, and strengthen its bid for Southeastern Conference it honors.

A crowd of 25,000, one of the biggest ever to watch a game on Tennessee's home gridiron, saw the Crimson Tide capitalize the "breaks" to dominate three-quarters of the game and yield a touchdown to the Vols only in the closing minutes of the game. It was Alabama's fourth straight victory of the season and marked the first time the Tide has had its goal line crossed. Tennessee, tied by Duke a week ago, met its first setback. The Vols used alternating teams in an unsuccessful, though scrappy, attempt to check Alabama's versatile and well-executed attack. Three Tide thrusts were turned back before Kilgrow's passes paved the way for Alabama to score its first touchdown in the waning moments of the second quarter.

Kilgrow's tosses to Charley Holm and Tut Warren touched off Alabama's first 58-yard scoring march, but a quick succession of replacements was needed finally to crack Tennessee's stubborn defense. Subs Shine. Two backfield subs, Herschel Moseley and Peg Davis, completed a pretty pass to put the ball on the Vols' 5-yard mark. A third replacement, Vic Bradford, crossed the goal line on the old-fashioned "quarterback sneak" play, from the threeyard marker, after Moseley had picked up two yards in a line smash. The extra point was placekicked by another sub, Haywood, Sanford.

Alabama's attack clicked in the third quarter for the first time. After the Tide recovered a kickoff fumble by Gerald Hendricks, Tennessee end, Kilgrow ripped off substantial gains as he shed tacklers. Alabama's two star wingmen, Warren and Shoemaker, contributed big yardage on end-around plays, and Hal Hughes tallied from the one-foot line to climax a 52-yard drive. Gilgrow placekicked the extra point. Vols Break Ice.

Tennessee put on an exciting finish. Led by George Cafego, West Virginia boy whose kicking, passing. and running was outstanding for the home team, the Vols advanced 68 yards to score. Three passes by Cafego to Cheek Duncan punctuated the drive. The last of these passes was caught in the endzone.

Cafego also converted, but the game ended soon after the next kickoff. The lineup: POS. ALABAMA TENNESSEE LE Warren LT. Merrill Woodruff Monsky Leffler C.

16. -(P)-- Sid Luckman, the boy from' Brooklyn, looked like a tremendous lot. of football player while the Columbia Lions were splattering a rugged but green University of Pennsylvania team, 26 to 6, before an estimated 28.000 at Baker Field today. The black -haired halfback played such a game that when Coach Lou Little pulled him out, after 55 minutes, many of the crowd began leaving and thus failed to see the score in ebbing minute. long Quakers across theirs lone push, as Luckman was playing the safety position, the Quakers threatThey only watched Luckman never, go.

He passed to his halfback mate, Taylor, for the Lions' first touchdown, six minutes after the game was a tremendous heave traveled 55 yards before it began settled, soft as thistledown, in Taylor's arms almost on the goal line. A few moments later, Luckman fired one to Radvilas, Columbia's towering left end, for 20 yards and another counter. In the third period, Sid really got going. He ripped off whirling, fighting gains of 11, 15, and 10 yards to carry the ball to the goal line, and then he plunged it across. He topped off the day with a thrilling 15-yard return of a punt that set up his team's fourth touchdown for Seidel, in the last period.

The worst mistake Penn made was in holding Burke, its string quarterback, out of the tussle it was almost finished. With only four minutes to go, he romped on the field and engineered a 73-yard drive for a score, finally taking it across from the five-yard mark. VILLANOVA TURNS BACK MANHATTAN'S JASPERS N. C.

Says Georgians Will Recall This Battle after Civil War Is Forgotten By HENRY McLEMORE.

Atlanta, Oct. 16 (U.P)-Duke's football Blue Devils defeated Georgia Tech, 20 to 19, here today in a game whose actions, if written into a movie scenario, would be rejected by the Hollywood realists on the ground that it was entirely too fantastic. With 26,000 slightly delirious customers watching from the stands the two teams put on a show that needed only the presence a bareback rider and sawdust to make the circus atmosphere complete. Even type, with its noted coolness, furnishes a vivid picture of the proceedings on this lovely October afternoon when it says that Duke led, 7 to then, 7 to then dropped behind, 7 to 13; then went a ahead, 14 to 13; then trailed, 14 to 19, and -finally--with the spectators limp from excitement the ball game. Everything happened.

Halfbacks scored touchdowns without a semblance interference. Ends dropped passes over the goal line. The ball was thrown from halfbacks to ends to tackles to guards. Safety men fumbled punts and caught them on the run, one-handed. strange penalties, and--occasionally -plain, old-fashioned hammering football.

The game started with a magnificent scoring burst by Duke and there was no let-down for the full 60 minutes. It's Duke. The game scarcely was underway wher. the Blue Devils, with a savage on the vulnerable Tech tackles, rolled down the field for a score. Starting from midfield Duke--with Tipton, Hackney and O'Mara slashing first side, then on the -scored a touchdown in 11 plays, and kicked the 0 point.

It's Tech. It was Tech's, turn now. and it "went to moving 65 yards in 10 plays for a score. Sims, who was to make a fatal "error" late in the final period, started with a pass to Jordan that was good for 35 yards. A forward lateral from Sims to Jordan put the ball on Duke's 20.

Big "Dutch" Konemann whammed his way to the nine-yard stripe, and then swept right end for a score. Sims' try for the point was blocked. It's Tech. Tech, throwing the ball around with beautiful grace and precision, started another drive early second period, and fairly raced 57 yards in 10 plays to go ahead, 13 to 7. After had picked up 7 Konemann, unknown as a passer, flipped one to Jones on Duke's 41.

Konemann a tremendous power runner, drove to Duke's 26 on a reverse. A lateral forward -Sims to Jordan to Wood. a tackle--swept the ball to within three yards of the goal, and from this point Appleby went over. Sims kicked this point, putting Tech ahead 13-7. Hackney and Tipton, running and passing, drove to Tech's four-yard line late in the period, but the Engineers held.

It's Duke. Hackney, the "Honey-Boy," set up, and then made, Duke's second touchdown. He laid the groundwork with a twisting 35-yard return of a punt to Tech's 35. Tipton and O'Mara, still slashing Tech's tackles, advanced to the 10-yard line. Two line smacks made nothing.

So Hackney was given the ball and lit out on a wide left-end sweep. He was alone as an explorer's sweetheart. He spun out of the clutches of two tackles and side-stepped the safety man to cross standing up. "Honey-Boy" then kicked the point to send Duke ahead, 14 to 13. It's Tech.

Having used ten plays on each of their first two touchdowns, the Tech magicians decided to improve the next time. They did, racing 74 yards in seven plays to move out front by 19-14. With the ball on his own 26, Sims whipped a pass to Appleby for 24 yards, and then fired one at Jordan on Tech's 10. Jordan then dropped a perfect pass in the end zone, but this did not dismay Sims. On fourth down, he faded back and, on the dead run, tossed a beauty to Collins for the score.

Sims' effort for the point was again blocked. It's D-u-k-e. Tech appeared the winner when it held the Blue Devils on the fiveyard line early in the final period, but a "break" gave Duke another shot. Quarterback and Captain Sims made the unwise decision to take a punt on the run. and he fumbled it.

Hill recovered Duke on Tech's 12. On the third down, Tipton slipped off right tackle for the winning touchdown. It didn't matter when Hackney's kick was blocked. Tech missed a chance to pull the game out of the fire in the last minute of play when Jordan, a fine end all afternoon, muffed a pass that dropped in his hands as he stood on Duke's 15-yard line, and with no defender within five yards. Duke's first touchdown today marked the first time it had scored against Tech in three visits to Grant Field.

nAnd the game was the first regular season game Coach Wallace Wade has won by the extra point route in 19 years of coaching. The Georgia folk who watched this game will remember it long after the Civil War is forgotten.

PITT CAN'T SCORE, RAMS CAN'T SCORE Fordham and Panthers Offer Another Encore on Annual No-Score Revue Fordham will play at Carolina on October 30; Pitt will play at Duke on November 27. By BILL BONI.

New York, Oct. more than 50,000 raucous but disappointed fans, Fordham and Pittsburgh today tugged, hauled, and their the scoreless tie the history three of their football rivalry. Pitt, with virtually the same lineup gave Washington such a last Year's Day, went into the terrific going in the Rose Bowl game a 2-to-1 favorite. The Panthers came out on the right side of the statistics and with the football, but that was about all. Fordham offered a crop of sophomore backs who stood up splendidly under Pitt's pounding and handled themselves like veterans at all times.

Beyond four attempted field goals -three by the and one by Pitt-and a Panther touchdown that was called back for holding, there were no genuine scoring threats. Once again it was a man's football game all the way, with crashing tackles and head-on collisions that more than once brought the players close to blows. Six times Panther backs bobbled the ball, and five times it was recovered by alert young men in maroon jerseys. Three of those fumbles put the Rams in position for their attempted field goals, all by Captain Johnny Druze. Another ended a 48- yard fourth-period march, the longest single drive of the game and Pittsburgh's last chance to break the ice.

Pitt Almost Does It. Pitt's closest approximation to a score came in the closing seconds of the first half. Started off by Harold (Muss) Stebbins' 34-yard runback of Joe Woitkowski's punt, the Panthers drove to first-down on the Fordham 5 and called for time-out, with 20 seconds to go. On the first play, Mad Marshall Goldberg, taking the ball from Stebbins on a deep reverse, crossed the goal line standing up, and the Pitt cheering section broke loose. But the wave of shouts subsided just as suddenly.

The ball was returned to the Fordhan. 16, as Acting Captain Tony Matisi of Pitt he had been detected holding. Fordham on the next play brought the Panthers up to their rival's 8, but by then there was time for only one more play, and that was smeared. Matisi pleaded with the officials, attempted to show them just how he had played his man. His efforts, however, were just vain as were the attempts of both teams to score.

-Carolina's undefeated Tar Heels tuned up for engagements with Tulane and Fordham by taking Wake Forest in stride this afternoon. The score of the game, feature of a Home-coming Day program and played before a turnout of 10,000, 28-0. "Coach Ray Wolf of Carolina used every member of the Tar Heel varsity squad with the exception of Art Ditt, injured No. 1 fullback. and Bob Adam, No.

1 center who is not an announced casualty. Otherwise, Wolf gave the home-coming Wake Forest alumni opportunity to see everything from the best to the worst among Carolina players. He gave them--and scouts from Tulane and Fordham-little chance to see anything of the type of plays he may have cooked up for use in tough battles. Many and varied were the 11-man combinations used by Carolina during the afternoon, but there was consistency nevertheless--the Tar Heels were so consistent that they made seven points each quarter. The Tar Heel combinations also were consistent in that all of them played sO well defensively against the Deacons that the Baptists "owed" yardage for rushing efforts in each period.

Wake Forest made 30 attempts to gain by ground plays and succeeded in gaining only 21 yards while losing 77-a deficit of 56 yards. The Deacons gained 32 yards by passing, and so they wound up by "owing" the Tar Heels only two dozen yards. First Carolina Score. Carolina lost little time in scoring. A 52-yard punt by Glass, after Wake Forest had taken the opening kickoff, set Carolina back to its ripped off a 24-yard gain, Carolina nine line.

Jack Kraynick punted a bit later, Wake Forest kicked back to Carolina's 17. The Tar Heels then started what turned out to be a touchdown tripthey went 83 yards in a dozen plays. High lights were an eight-yard gain by Tom Burnette; a 12-yard gain by George Stirnweiss: a 21-yard gain by Kraynick; a six-yard gain by Watson. These were the main items in getting to the 19-yard line. An offside penalty on Wake and a six-yard gain by Stirnweiss put the ball at the eight-yard line.

The Deacons offered stern opposition here. Stirnweiss couldn't gain; Watson made only a foot. A Stirnweiss-to-Watson pass was poorly aimed. On fourth down, Stirnweiss passed again -he got the ball away just as End Forrest Glass of the Deacons grabbed him, but Watson, in the end zone, made a fine catch for, the first touchdown of the day. Burnette placekicked point.

Touchdown No. 2. Carolina's second-period score ended an advance started after a Wake Forest punt, good for only 27 yards from line of scrimmage, had been downed at the Deacon's 35. After Watson had made two and Little had gained four, Radman got away for a nine-yard gain--but a holding penalty on Carolina set the ball back to the 36-yard line. The Tar Heels started all over.

A few minutes later, Gene Robinson, substituting back, climaxed a drive from midfield by ramming a yard through the line for the second score. Davidson scored in the last period, after a 23-yard pass between two 15-yard Gamecock penalties put the 'Cats on the one-yard stripe. Dennis hit guard for the score, and Williams placekicked point. Davidson's great back, Teeny Lafferty, was kept on the sidelines because of an injured shoulder. However, the Wildcats made battle.

The Wildcats fought off the many South Carolina threats. Davidson halted a long South Carolina march in the second period, but yielded the first six points shortly afterwards. South Carolina made 14 firstdowns to Davidson's 11. Several of Davidson's first-downs resulted from penalties. The Davidson offense, plainly showing the need of Lafferty, never really clicked.

Davidson made the first offensive gesture the first time it had the ball. Dennis cut back through a hole at right tackle and raced 21 yards, but on the next play a pass was intercepted by Ed Clary. Dennis halted a South Carolina advance by intercepting a pass and returning to his 19. Williams, Iverson, Graham, Warden and Dennis were Davidson's leading players. DAVIDSON S.

Fletcher Sims, the Tech safety man, who is one of the best in the South, had been signalling for fair catches on all punts. On this final-and fatal for Tech -punt, he attempted to catch the ball. As usual, three Blue DevilsHill, Fred Yorke, and Herb Hudgins-were down and right on him. Sims did what Tech followers were afraid he would do--he fumbled the ball, and fiery Dan Hill was right on top of it. As result, it was Duke's ball, first and ten on the Tech, 12-yard line.

Tech players slowly went to their positions on defense, walked around bit, and finally got into their places. They drew a five-yard alty for delaying the game. That gave the ball to Duke on the Tech seven, still first down. Hackney blasted at left tackle for yard. Tipton, on the next play, bucked and jumped and finally dived over for the touchdown that won the ball game.

But that one play is just the final chapter of the shiveringly thrilling book that was written here this afternoon. It is bad to give the end of the book first, but it has to be done in this case. But you could read the end of the game first, and then start at the beginning this book and enjoy every single play. "We're off." Follow through from here, gentle readers, and see just what happened in this epic of the gridiron: Tech kicked off to Duke. Tipton, just as Duke did against Tennessee last week, punted immediately--out of bounds on the Tech 26.

Sims punted right back but the ball slipped off his foot and went out on the 47. O'Mara got two, was stopped for no gain, and then Hackney, on Wade's old, old reverse play (which, it should be mentioned right here, worked with great results all day) clipped off a first-down on the Tech 36. Then Tipton faded back to pass, found no receiver, and did the next best thing -his run gained yards and ended on the Tech 16-yard and line. After O'Mara had made three yards in two tries. Tipton again faded back to pass, again found no one open, and again elected to run -and went to the Tech four and-a-half-yard line.

Only previous one-point victory for a Wade-coached tear came back in 1926 when his Alabama Tide beat Washington, 20-19, in the Rose Bowl. Said Wade after today's game: "It was one of those close football games which are always thrilling to coaches, players, and spectators. I think our boys won the game by their fight--they just would not give up.

said last week that I thought Hackney played against Tennessee the greatest game of his career, but his performance today was even greater than that of last Saturday." And said Bob Fetzer, athletic director of the University of North Carolina, here to scout the Blue Devils: "It was Duke's great fighttheir will to come back at all times--that earned them their triumph.".
