a a a a FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26, 1920. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26, 1920. STATE COLLEGE RUNS AWAY FROM ANCIENT RIVALS BY SCORE 49-7 Strong Offensive In Fourth Quarter Saves Baptists Shut Out FORWARD PASSES AND LONG RUNS EFFECTIVE Three Touchdowns Result From Passes and Two More From Returned Kicks Fully vindicating" predictions, the fourteenth annual football game between State College and Wake Forest yesterday proved to be a bitterly fought struggle from beginning to end with the result a one sided victory for State College. The story of the respective strengths of the two elevens in each quarter is revealed fully by the number of touchdowns scored. In the first quarter, State scored one touchdown to none; in the second quarter two to none; in the third quarter, three to none; and in the final period each eleven registered once.

The total score was State College 49, Wake Forest 7- Faucette keeping his record for the season unbroken by kicking goal after each of the seven touchdowns. Stars Missing, Captain Harry Rabenhorst of Wake Forest, who is rated as one of the best backs in the State, was unable to start the account of injuries; and Heckman, the next ranking among the Baptist luminaries, was. forced to retire in the middle of the second quarter. But those things like the forced removal of Captain Weathers in the fourth quarter, are among the fortunes of war--to be treated only as such. The game stands as a clear demonstration of the unquestioned superiority of the finished and powerful 1920 football machine over the less COhesive and weaker rival.

combination rep- resenting its ancient But, Wake I Forest supporters found, and are entitled to no little solace by virtue of the fact that the Old Gold and Black developed its strongest offensive of the season against its keenest rival, a team that is at the same time the strongest, machine, barring Georgia faced this year, Wake Forest Scores. This offensive strength not shown the closing minutes of the fourth quarter, when the score stood 49 to 0 against them and quite a few of their adherents and the bulk of the casual had left the field. A fifteen yard penalty, the result of Ripple's failing to see a signal for a fair catch and tackling in face of the signal gave the Baptists possession of the ball in mid-field. Three first downs in swift succession, each attained with a comfortable margin. to spare, placed the ball within the five yard line and from that point it was carried over just the Field Judge blew his whistle end of before, the game and well after the official announcer had picked up his megaphone and framed his lips to say, "Called on account of darkness." Johnston, the running mate for Heckman at end had been called back to take up the burden of earrying the ball and besides having the honor of scoring the touchdown was the lad responsible for the gains, circling the flanks and plunging off tackle for advances averaging ten yards no less than four times.

State Attack Versatile. The State eleven fully demonstrated yesterday that for versatility of attack and unit of endeavor it has few if any superiors in the country. As usual the name of Faucette is conspicuous in the summary, but from an individualistic standpoint, the notable part of yesterday's victory was the manner in which Dick Gurley came into his own. Playing his last game of four consecutive seasons, State's dreadnaught proved that the acclaim which has greeted him for four long years is fully earned. On the defense and in running forward passes, he was the usual tower of strength carrying the Ball he even excelled Faucette though each made three touchdowns and the "Runt" made the long gallop of the day--racing seventy yards the pig skin.

However, Gurley showed himself equally adept in receiving forward passes, hitting the line and circling the ends. Ripple and Weathers, both distinguished themselves, the single boner committed by each being royally -offset. by defensive and offensive work in the line and in getting down the field on open formations. Floyd was also a power in the to the lime light. Pierson, "ran line, but Pasour broke more often, inwild," yesterday gaining in every way in which a football can be advanced.

On the Wake Forest side of the fence, the one outstanding hero the day was Johnston. His tackling was at times faulty and at other times brilliant, but on the offense, he was the factor that gave the Wake Forest team the much-needed punch. Until he was forced from the game by injuries, Heckman was easily the most conspicnous figure on the field. Towering above most of the warriors, even as Mutt eclipses Jeff, he was in every play up to his neck. His was excellent and even outmatched the splendid bootwork of Park, and his ability to ran with the ball gave his team the one earned first down registered while he was in the fray.

On the defense, except once, when he was taken care of on the occasion of Gurley's 20-yard line run around the end for a touchdown, he was effectiveness itself. Wall showed wonderful gameness in the face of the repeated injuries, refusing to be retired. Game Closely Played. Indeed, the whole Wake Forest team ELECTED AS CAPTAIN STATE'S '21 VARSITY JOHN FAUCETTE, (Quarterback.) Faucette, who started his foot-ball career with the Raleigh High School, where his playing gave early indication of stellar work on the collegiate gridiron, has just closed his third season on the State College team and last night was elected captain of the 1921 varsity. This year has been his best.

Besides sensational runs, good generalship as quarterback, he has the additional achievement of having not a single failure credited to him in kicking goal after touchdown. GOLDEN TORNADO SWAMPS AUBURN Georgia Tech Crushes men 34 To 0 In Bitterly Contested Game Atlanta, Nov. Tech's "Golden tornado" swept through the Auburn plainsmen here today -for five touchdowns and a 34 to 0 victory the annual Thanksgiving Day contest. The two great teams, the Alabamans outweighing Tech and fighting for every inch of ground they yielded were cheered by a crowd of 90me 20,900 spectators and the bands and student body of the two institutions. Three of Tech's touchdowns were steady drives across the field, one of them being aided by a perfectly executed forward pass from Flowers to John Staton.

Captain Flowers, one of Tech's greatest backfield men of all time, brought his football career to a spectacular close in defeating Auburn. He not only gained time and again, but two of three touchdowns he made were on runs of some 80 yards in returning the long punts that Ollinger sent down the field. Flowers showed himself a wonderful punter, once booting the ball 65 yards before it touched ground. He also tried two Meld goals, but missed, one from the 40 yard line and another from 44 yard line. Auburn gained at times especially during the second and third periods, but never a period appeared dangerous to Tech.

A check showed that Tech made 16 first downs to Auburn's 6. Outside of Flowers it would be hard to pick an individual star on the Yellow Jacket eleven, for all the backfield men, including Dewey Scarborough and Bill Giaver, who went in during the final quarter, showed ability to carry the The line held well on defense and opened wide holes for the runners on offense. Ratterman and J. Staton both played excellent games at ends. Shirling, Aubourn's powerful fullback, was the particular star on offense for the Plainsment and had Coach Mike Donahue been able te put three more such players into the fray, the Plainsmen might have had a different story to tell.

The Auburn team fought for every inch of ground it yielded and never seemed to lose heart. Twice the line held Tech's backs within the 14 yard line. On one of these occasions the ball went over and on the other 8 sweeping end run for 14 yards on the fourth down completed the touchdown. Offside penalties and several for hold ing were the only things that marred Tech's play and one of the latter probably prevented a touchdown in the first period. The ball was in Auburn's territory, the but no greater score part of the opening resulted.

It was the last game for three of Tech's stars, Flowers, Ferst and Fincher, all Auburn men, it was stated, are eligible to play next season, but Captain Sizemore is to graduate in June. -up and summary: Position Auburn Georgia Tech Left End Ollinger J.

GEORGIA WINS FROM CLEMSON. Athens, Nov. Uni- versity, took its Thanksgiving Day game from Clemson here today, 55 to 0, closing the season for the Red and Black with no defeats.

FURMAN WINS BY ONE TOUCHDOWN Davidson Wild Cats Give South Carolina Baptists Hardest Fight Yet Greenville, 8.

Nov. steady march from her own 20-yard line in the second quarter Furman's purple hurricane scored the lone touchdown that defeated Davidson College here this afternoon. With Speer's kicked goal the scoring ended and the final count was Furman, Davidson, 0. The game played before 4,000 spectators was one of the fiercest strggles fought on Manly Field this season and was decided only when the referee whistle blew for the last time. Davidson presented a magnificent defense and ploughed the Furman line for more gains than any other team that has faced the Baptists this year.

The Wild Cats used forwards to great advantage and advanced many times for long gains with the overhead attack. But Furman was able to check the onslaught with a sterling defense and allowed Davidson to seriously threaten her goal but once when the Wild Cats advanced to the 17-yard line in the last period. At this juncture Captain Jeter, of Furman, broke up a pass, the ball rolling back of the goal line and it was Furman's ball on her own 20-yard line. Furman's touchdown came as the result of a brilliant offense which began on her own 20-yard line and ended when Lee Rhame skirted left end from Davidson's 1-yard line and planted the ball behind the goal posts. It was magnificent drive in which every Furman back and the entire Baptist line played a stellar part.

Furman got possession of the ball when Davidson punted behind the goal line. Then began a series of line plunges and end runs by Speer, Rhame, McManaway and Waters which netted the ual work of players on side. For The game abounded in stellar, Furman the work of Rhame and Speer stood out, both of whom made many gains through the line and around ends. McManaway played great ball at quarter, generaling his team well and displaying splendid work on the defense. Waters at full, hit the line for many short gains and was good on the defense.

But great credit for Forman's victory goes to the line. Hammett at center, Bradley and Carter at ends, Lanford at left guard Captain Jeter tackle, broke through and tackled runinners time after and did great work in opening holes for their own backs. Bethea, Davidson garterback, was the stellar performer for Wild Cats. His line plunging and runs around ends were largely responsible for Davidson gains. The work of Captain Hammett at left tackle, and Brady center, was remarkable.

Furman made eleven first downs during the game and Davidson made ten. Furman's over Davidson conthe victory, brilliant record in the history of the institution. The Baptists have scored nine victories this season and were defeated only by Georgia University in a 7 to 0 game.

WOFFORD PLAYS TRINITY TO TIE Two Elevens of Methodist Institutions Fight To Scoreless Draw Durham, Nov. 25, With each team displaying only an occasional driving punch, but with both performing brilliantly on the defensive, Trinity Wofford battled to a scoreless tie hero today in the presence of approximately 2,000 people.

Trinity, Parler, the South Carolinan quarterback, was the outstanding star of the game. Every time he carried the ball he made some gain. On several 0c- casions he drove through the Trinity line with such force that he was hurled several feet beyond the mass of players. Hall, the Trinity quarterback, who had been counted on to star, made only one outstanding play. This was when he made a sweeping end run for seven, teen yards in the fourth quarter.

On defensive work, Neal, Trinity's left end, was the bright light. On numerous occasions, he slipped around and tackled runners from behind.

"Time out for Wake Forest" called again thas and again, playing time in the fourth period being less than a fourth of the time 'actually consumed. But though injuries were the rule of the day and penalties were mot infrequent, most of the latter were for technicalities. Ripple's failure to see a signal for a fair catch, though costing fifteen yards, contains nothing of the As a matter of fact, the cleanness of the play called for warm commendation from the officials, all of whom are experienced men. The one lapse came late in the fourth quarter and was the result too much tension. Captain Weathers, of State College, was barred from the game for slugging, following a general experience was new one for the Raleigh man, who is a hard but clean player.

Technieal Points. The proficiency State College in forward passes, some of which were pulled from the most intricate of for mations, inability. of Wake Forest to either use with an aerial attack, the resistance of both lines and last, tho. jumbling of State, but not least, broken field, running of the State College backs were the outstanding features of the game from a technical standpoint. Park did the kicking for State and did it well.

Heckman filled the same role brilliantly, Johnston, his successor, punted indifferently. Three of State's touchdowns, resulted directly from forward passes, which netted 20, 20 and 40 yards respectively. Faucette returned a kick 70 yards for one and another, kick for 25 yards, of which came from Gurley's 25- leaving scored from rushes, one yard run. The Wake Forest line gave several excellent examples of defense. Twice, the Baptists captured, the ball on downs and forced State College to kick.

In the first quarter a touchdown that seemed inevitable was averted and the same thing happened in the fourth quarter, only to have Faucette return the nsuing punt for a marker. State 49.
