Kentucky and Georgia Tech, playing in Atlanta, likewise have shown to good advantage in the early season. Ralph kicking ability was about the cnly apparent shade the from the Blue Grass had on the Engineers.

Tech exhibited a vigorous offense in defeating Clemaon last week, and is making a bid to recoup the indignities of three bad seasons. Georgia appeared so weak in the defeat it get from V. P. I. a week ago that Tulane ranked the top heavy favorite in spite of its loss of Nollie Felts, captain and fullback, and the qualifications of Buster Mott, Georgias star halfback.

The fight between North Carolina and Tennessee at Knoxville also drew a share of interest today. Tennessee was rated as the favorite because of its power but Carolina had a brilliant aerial attack to use in its attempt to upset the Volunteers.

Rather, the boys have put more effort in the daily drills to bring themselves into unbeatable form lor the associational scrap. The lineup used in the scrimmages with the frosh eleven indicates that one or two changes will be made in the lineup Saturday, Royce Johnson's work as a halfback is believed to point that the flashy end will start in that position. Johnson, back in freshman days, was a star back and could do everything with the pigskin.

Ills first varsity season in '31 was at end but with more material for the terminals this session he may get a permanent call for ball toting duty.

OAK GROVE DEFEATED BY ELEVEN (L. P. umpire; Walker (Mississippi college) head linesman. Meeting a scrapping football team from Dubach at Forsythe park last night, the Neville high school Tigers emerged victorious by a score of 18 to 6. The triumph was particularly impressive in view of the ordinary showing in its two previous wins over weak opponents.

The game w'as fast and well played and both teams displayed some good football. The Tigers played a heads-up game and deserved to win. They battled their heavier opponents every inch of the way and looked impressive in beating one of the best Class teams in north Louisiana. Three long rims were responsible for the Tiger victory. Two of these sprints were made by George Manteris.

who again carried the burden for the bacxfield, and the other was turned in by Basco. Martin furnished mast of the interference for all three of the runs, besides playing a whale of a game in all respects. Neither team scored in the first half of the game, and the battle was just about even. Dubach started off like a whirlwind and staged a drive that reached deep into Tiger territory soon after the starting whistle, but poor generalship cost the visitors a touchdown. The Dubach quarterback kept calling for forward passes, regardless of the fact that the team was penalized twice because of failures, and the aerial attack functioning.

The ball finally W'ent over on 12-yard line. From that point until the half, it was an even battle, with neither team threatening seriously. Neville made one first down in the first period and two in the second. while Dubach made two in each quarter. On the first play after the kickoff at the half, Neville scored its first touchdown.

Dubach kicked to the 11- vard line and Manteris returned it to the 27-yard line, where he was forced out of bounds. On the first play, Basco slipped through a hole at left tackle and, W'ith fine interference, had little difficulty getting clear. He raced all the way for a score. The try for extra point failed. Dubach came right back and tied the A Neville fumble forced Pierce to kick from his 4-yard line, and the kick was returned to Neville's 20-yard line.

Colvin gained six yards around right end and then Hinkie barged through a hole at left guard and sprinted the remaining 14 yards for a touchdown. The kick was wide ana the score was deadlocked at 6-all. The Tigers then started another drive that placed the ball in Dubach's I territory but the locals were unable to go over and were forced to kick. Du- bach returned the boot and Manteris gathered it in on his 40-yard line. He shook off a couple of ambitious tacklers and running behind Martin, skirted the east sideline for 40 yards and the second touchdown, The Neville team made its third and last score soon after the start of the fourth period.

After the Tigers had halted a Dubach rally that had pushed the ball up to the yard line, Martin dropped back and i punted to the 15-yard line. W. Green It was a beautiful boot. was Bagwell standing on his own five-yard line Hammom and he sent the ball sailing down the field for 77 yards. Dubach punted on first down and again Manteris took i the ball in mid-field and again with Martin running his interference for him, sprinted 50 yards for a touch- down.

A drop kick for the extra point failed. The remainder of the period was fought out on even terms and the i game ended with the ball in I passcssion on the 50-yard line. Hinkie and R. C. Colvin were the most consistent ground gainers tor Dubach and this pair also constituted an aerial threat.

Mount, Davis and Schuler appeared best in the Dubach line. The entire Neville team functioned The Lions of Ouachita Parish High school will attempt to make it four straight they tackle the Delhi Boars at Forsythe park tonight. The game will start promptly at 7:45 it w'as announced last night. The Delhi eleven has been working out for the past three weeks and is in excellent shape for the tilt with Ouachita's strong squad. They held the Crowville Bulldogs to a tie at the Rayville fair last week and came out of that contest in great shape.

Although the Lions are expected to come through victorious, the scrapping team of Bears has promised to make it interesting for their Class A foes, according to word from Delhi. Coach Ben Rush said last night that he would make several changes in his lineup tonight. David Pace, who has been playing a bang-up game at center will be shifted to right tackle and Poulan will take his place in the midle of the line. Youngblood will go to left tackle and the balance of the line will remain unchanged. Pete Rasbury and Nelson Bland will be kept out of tonight's game on account of injuries.

Rasbury received an injured shoulder in last fame against the mu the injury has not heeled, be kept on the sidelines with ft wrenched back. Howard Honeycutt, who broke in with the last week when when Rasbury was forced out, will again take the backfield place in the starting lineup. Lynn McGuffy, speed merchant, will start at quarter la place of Bland. Brooks Owen end Harry Stron will be back at half and fullback, respectively. Coach Rush said last night that although he expected his team to wia tonight, he will not take any chaneeft of the Bears staging an upset.

Ht expects a close game, he said. Officials for the game will be Smith, referee, and Benny Swayze, umpire. The other have not yet been selected. Coach Rush said he was undecided whether or not to schedule a game for next week-end. The Lions have an open date but the mentor may give the squad a rest, ow'ing to the fact that they meet Haynesville thft following week.

The game, which will be played here, is expected to be the hardest game on the Ouachita schedule. FOOTBALI RESULTS, CRUCIAL BATTLES SLATED SATURDAY Loyola Freshmen, Ouachita Junior college. 6. Neville High school, 18; Dubach High school. 6.
