00 SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 31, 1920. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 31, 1920. GEORGIA TECH BEATS STRONG CENTRE TEAM BY SCORE OF 24 TO 0 Clean and Hard Fought Contest Goes To The "Golden Tornado" at Atlanta TECH HAD BEST OF IT FROM START TO FINISH Powerful Kentucky Eleven Was Crippled By Absence of Three of Its Stars Atlanta, Oct. Tech's "Golden Tornado" administered stunning defeat to the powerful tre College football machine here today, piling up three touchdowns and a field goal for a 24 to 0 score. The game was clean and hard fought, both teams playing as though their very lives depended on the result.

This eagerness, however, led to fumbles and they proved far more costly to Centre than to Tech, largely because Centre's misplays came when they halted an advantage or helped put Tech in position to score. Tech had the best of it from the off. There were few who would contradict that statement, although they might point out that the Kentucky eleven went into action with three of its stars out from injuries suffered in the mighty struggle against Harvard a week ago. The day was an ideal one for football. Hardly any wind stirred above the field to interfere with punting, which was frequent, and a kindly sun tempered the chilly air enough to keep the spectators comfortable.

Seats had been provided for 15,000 persons and it appeared that several thousand more were clustered around the side lines and at either end of the field. Those who read the accounts of Centre's wonderful work against Harvard a week ago, especially in the first two periods, could not feel as they watched today, a game that the same team was in action here, notwithstanding all the local confidence in the "Tornado." McMillin's. forward, passes outdid anything of seen here in many years, but Tech seemed to know where they were going. Centre's most effective use of the aerial attack proved to be in short passes where a number of pretty gains were made. In the second period Barron, a star of the game, twisting and dodging through the desperate Centre secondary defense, dashed 57 yards and across the goal line.

Ferst made the second touchdown on 8 55 yard run in the third period. The line-up: Centre Georgia Tech. Position Left End Bartlett J.

WAKE FOREST TEAM SWAMPS GUILFORD Baptists Carry Ball Over For Seven Touchdowns In First Home Game of Season Wake Forest, Oct. on the home gridiron for the first time this season Wake Forest swamped Guilford College here this afternoon by the count of 48 to 0. After the first few minutes of play Wake Forest kept the ball in Guilford's territory throughout the game, carrying the ball over seven times for touchdowns. Guilford scored during the first two minutes of play when they received the ball on the forty yard line and by three successful forward passes carried the ball over for their only touchdown. From then on the ball was kept in Guilford's territory mainly through the offensive work of Rabenhorst, Fulton and Heckman.

The second quarter opened with the ball in Wake Forest's possession and by 8 30 yard run by Fulton another touchdown was made. First quarter ended 18-6 in Wake Forest's favor. The second half was made up of continual long runs by the Wake Forest backfield and steady gains through the line which netted four more touchdowns, Rabenhorst intercepted a forward pass on two occasions and carried the ball for over thirty yards each time, one going for a touchdown. The features of the game were the offensive work of Rabenhorst, Fulton, and Johnson in the backfield, the long distance kicking of Heckman, and the line work of Wall and Moss for Wake Forest.

For Guilford the work of I. Newlin and Raeford in the backfield, and playing of C. Newlin on end was conspicuous. The Line-up Wake Forest Guilford Position. Left End.

Crippled Defence Chapel Hill, Oct. series of sweeping end-runs behind smooth working interferences with a little demon named Semler, carrying the ball broke down a crippled Carolina defence here today and Maryland won the first she ever played in Chapel Hill 13 to 0.

Semler did not score either touchdown, but he was the shining light of the game and he put his team in position to score each time with his speedy twisting runs. From tackle to tackle, the Tar Heel defence was all that could be desired, but the Maryland flying squadron ran riot around the ends and only the stubbornest sort of defence on her goal line enabled Carolina to fight off other scores. As it was one touchdown bordered on the mysterious. Carolina fumbled, on her own 20 yard line and had picked up the ball and was sitting behind the goal line before any other man on either team knew where the ball was. The second touchdown in the third quarter came after a steady march up the field, mostly on end-runs until the 15 yard line was reached.

Then Mackert broke loose on sweep across the field for the touchdown. Maryland forced play continually and twice reached the 10 yard line oniy to be stopped short. She completed one pass out of five and she could gain nothing through the line, but Carolina ends have not received such a mauling in long time. With all his regular backs on the side lines through injuries Fuller used an entirely new backfield. They didn't gain much by rushing although Hutchins and McDonald showed flashes of form, but they completed eight out of 11 passes and reached the 15 yard line twice by long passes with McDonald passing and Hutchins, Crayton and McGee doing the best receiving.

McDonald playing his first game at quarter, ran the team well. Captain Harrell stood out in the line, which as in every game this year, has been strong on defense but loose on offense, and the defensive work of Jacobi and Hutchins was tip-top.

Although visitors showed proficiency in the overoffense vanished at Harvard's same, 25-yard line. The Crimson played the game almost entirely with substitutes, who found some difficulty early in the game in stopping forward passes and end runs of the visitors.

Harvard scored in the first five minutes in a march from midfield. Virginia flashed an offense a few minutes later that carried the ball to Harvard's 33 yard line, where a forward pass was caught. Then came another Crimson march to Virginia's ten yard line and Buell's field goal at the opening of the second period. Through ther emainder of the second period and all of the third the defense of both teams was too strong for iug, although Fitts, who came in for A few minutes Harvard backfield, made one dash of 55 yards around the end. In the final period Brown broke through and blocking a punt, picked up the ball and ran 20 yards for a touchdown.

A few minutes later Hamilton caught a forward pass and dashed to Virginia's seven yard line, and after two plunges, he picked another forward pass standing on the goal line and made the third touchdown.

CHAPEL HILL HIGHS BEAT FRESHMEN State's First Year Men Get Decisive Drubbing On Riddick Field The smooth working Chapel Hill High School team experienced little difficulty in decisively defeating the State College Freshman yesterday afternoon at Riddick Field by score 26 to 0. The lads from Orange county uncovered a sweeping assault on the flanks early in the game and with Merritt, Hampton and Sparrow featuring with long runs scored a touchdown in the second and third quarters and piled up fourteen points in the final period. The State first-year men, while ex hibiting flashes of real brilliancy on the part of individual players, showed A very decided lack of teamwork, especially on the offense. This is explained by the fact that the team has practiced together as a unit only once or twice this season, the majority of their work since Coach Van Brocklin took charge of the squad being confined to learning the rudiments of the game. The line yesterday played a nice defensive game with the work of Davis at center standing out prominently.

Chapel Hill gained very little ground through the forwards. Chamberlain and Crisp on the ends also showed up well. In the backfield Hodges, Morris, Gardner and Bangs proved the best ground gainers, but the interference was ragged. Another ten days' practice should put the team in much better condition, and when the Techs meet the Carolina Freshmen here in mid. November, it is expected that they will make a very creditable showing.

Forest's tennis team defeated Davidson's representation here yesterday both in the doubles and single sets. Davidson began the doubles by winning the first set by a count of 6-4 in games. Wake Forest, however, came back in the second set and mainly through the skill and fast work of Crittenden and Stringfield, Wake Forest took the second set by a similar score of 6-4. The third set also went to the old gold and black duet by a better count of 6-2, thus making two out of three for Wake Forest and giving her the double contest. This tennis match is considered most important inasmuch as Davidson recently won from Trinity and Elon, and Trinity has won from Carolina, 80 Wake Forest is in line for State championship, unless defeated by another college and even then she stands the chance of tying with any college in the State, for each college has suffered at least one defeat.

CORNELL BEATS RUTGERS. Ithaca, N. Oct. Rutgers offered determined resistance here today but was defeated by Cornell by score of 24 to 0. Cornell faced the heaviest and strongest opponent of the season thus far.

Penn State Wins, 28 To 7.
