Beat Tigers Ex-Serviceman Leads the Way By SAM CLASSMAN Tilitnrt liwrli B4llr MEMORIAL STADIUM COLUMBUS Nov 17 A relentless band of red jersied Bulldogs from Athens led by Charlie Trippi of the Pittston Pa Trippi'i swept over a gang of fighting Auburn Tigers here this afternoon 35 to 0 aa an overflow throng of approximately 20000 watched the game in shirt sleeve weather The fans came to see Trippi and the Georgia atar did not let them down Without Trippi the game might have been much doner but Charlie evidently thinking back to that eventful November day in 1942 when the Tigeri upset the Rose Bowl machine here personally took charge and gained soma measure of revenge The lad who is heralded as the best college player in the nation picked up a ret of 48 yards rushing but it was in tha passing kicking and running back punti departments where he shined He booted the ball twice one a booming 74 yard punt which traveled from his own 25 to roll dead on Auburn's one And another from out of his end zone for 48 yards He passed five times and they were all caught for a gain of 119 yards In running hark punts the swivel-hipped tailback picked up 56 yards in three tries IN EVERY SCORE Trippi figured in every Georgia score getting two himself and the others were made by John Rauch quarterback Johnny Donaldson FAREWELL TO LANIER Seen above is the group of seniors it Lanier High

their season's Navy in Municipal Stadium Army's undefeated Cadets bat lered to their 17th consecutive triumph today by rolling over hap leu and hclpleu Pennsylvania 61 to 0 at sun-swept Franklin Field It was a grand day but not for the outclassed Quakers as the West Pointers sharpened their one-two punch of Glenn Davia and Doe Blanchard by sending them to three touchdowns each in the final game before the annual service classic Onee again aa in Army's eight straight triumphi this season it was a case too many and too much for the Cadet opposition A crowd of 73000 jammed tha big red brick oval to see this greatest Army team in history And they nad a hard time believing what they saw as the Cadets smothered a heavy fighting Penn tern that had lost a 14-7 heart-breaker to Navy in Pennsylvania's own set-back of the season It was only two minutes after the game opened that Davis the Ciareimnu Calif Comet blazed 27 yards through tackle for the first touchdown-It made no difference that Dick Walterhouse of Riginaw Mich missed the point Nor did it matter that Blanchard went 34 yards and Davis 41 yards for touchdowns that were recalled Because before the period ended Blanchard capped a 41-yard drive by blasting over from the one And these Cadets kept right on going with thoughts of the Middies two idle weeks away and the realization as Navy win that for the first time in hostory both teams would be undefeated when they battle it out at nearby munb cipal stadium on Dee 1 Davis piled it on with a dazsling 42-yard jaunt through tackle and then in the third quarter was oa the scoring end of a 73-yard pass play He took a 36-yard tou from Arnold Tucker of Miami Fla and went 37 yards to pay dirt Blanchard matched those two touchdowns before they called it a day scampering 32 yards for one tally and crashing over from the one for the second in capping an 82-yard drive The subs can-led on then and they too wanted some of the gravy Irish Lambast Northwestern EVANSTON 111 Nov UP Notre Dame's fighting Irish gave their prewar coach Frank Leahy a special present t-day when they staged a second half scoring spree to trounce Northwestern 34 to 7 before a capacity crowd of 47000 at Dyche Stadium Leahy just discharged from the Navy after two years service sat on the Notre Dame bench as the Irish bounced back from their 49-0 trouncing by Army last Saturday to trounce Northwestern with bruising running power In the closing quarter as the Irish turned a supposedly game into a rout Coach Hughie Devore Leahy's reached into his third team but still the Notre Dame offensive roiled on The triumph was Notre Dame's sixth victory of the season and lta 20th victory in the 25th renewal of the traditional aeries with Northwestern Lanier Poets Aim At Title Contest By JAY TRAWICK Lanier Poets virtually free of injuries that have followed them all year and with morale running at a high pitch buckled down with their noses to the grindstone yesterday as they ran through a rough and tumble scrimmage behind locked doors in an attempt to sharpen their offensive weapon! before they tangla with MACON FOOTBALL fans are asking each other one question now-a-davs chance have the Poets of beating Boys' Elderly women on the buses are debating the merits of tfe two teams Youngsters in grammar schools are neglecting their Three R's and are weighing the relative merits of the Purple Hurrican and the Poets Saleswomen forget to discuss their wares and start talking about end runs wingbacks and mouse-trap plays as they pertain to the Atlanta and Macon teams Not having seen High in action we got a little information from a man who knows his football Lem Clark assistant coach of the Poets Lem scouted High in their game with Tech High and has this to say: Doyal has a well balanced football machine They are well coached and go about playing in a manner which leaves no doubt as to their ability They will outweigh the Poets In Payne their 180-pound fullback Doyal has a plowing type back one who can pick up a few yards whenever needed and a much better fullback in my estimation than McWhorter of Tech High Pantaze and Brooks Macon fans will see a couple of tackles who will tip the scales past the 190-pound mark Their guards Chambliss and Dantz-ler are on the small hut fast side who pull nut to lead the interference in the Notre Dame box offense employed by the Purples Little is far from what his name might imply weighing in the neighborhood of 190 pounds At ends there are Elmer Whitt and Ape John- son tall and rangy lads who will weigh close to 160 pounds backfield stars who help Payne out are Moose IRyckeley 175-pounder Herb Weaver and Swanson the kicker believe the Poets have a chpnce to upset the Boys' High aggregation but they are going to have to be physically and mentally right play an alert game and take advantage of every break If our boys play this type of football next Friday night the Poets should walk off Porter Field on the long end of the There you have it from a man who has seen both teams in action against a common foe TECH HIGH Of course comparative scores mean nothing and you can back and figure out where Skihosh is champion by juggling the figures but taking into comparison the two teams play against Tech High the scores would indicate the Purples are three touchdowns better than our lads Granting a team has a slight advantage playing on their own field with home folks pulling for them this advantage cannot offset the big difference the Purples seem to enjoy at this moment Bioth teams evidently pointing to this game from long before the football season started left an open date in their schedule so they would be in peak condition for this battle This will be the last High team Shorty Doyal will direct after spending 21 years at the helm of the Purples and naturally the boys will be battling to win this game for Shorty On the other band most of the Lanier squad played against the Purples last year and are determined to turn the tables John (Cotton) Harrison is finishing up his first year as head coach of the Poets and no finer present could be given him than for the Lanier eleven to come through with a GIAA football championship Frankly I think Colton would want a finer gift Regardless of the outcome everything joints to an all-time high in crowds for Macon If temporary seats are erected the crowd should reach 15000 Alexander IV Team Honored That was a mighty fine turnout the other night when the Parent-Teachers Association of Alexander IV and the Ingleside Community Club honored the members of the Alexander IV football team and their cheerleaders at Thanksgiving supper the other night Such interest and support from parents and friends goes a long way with a youngster To know his parents are interested in his activities will make them work all the harder to succeed at whatever they do be it sports or school The smiling faces of the members of the football team as they stepped up to receive their letter is something which will be hard to forget Honored at the banquet and receiving letters were: Cl yd Van Landingham Lynwood

first downs cariying to the seven Trippi faked a pass and outran the Tiger secondary around right end for the touchdown Jernigan converted 74 YARD PUNT The second score came after the Bulldogs got the ball after a punt and were held on their 25 and Trippi cut loose with his 74-yard punt on fourth down Auburn's Kuykendall punted out to Trippi who gathered in the ball on the Tigers' 29 and snaked his way to the one yard line where lleywood Norman and Kuykendall forced him out of bounds Trippi was forced out of bounds on the one on the first try and then Rauch bulled his way over on a quarterback sneak and Jernigan canie in for his art This was all the scoring for the first quarter and sewed up the ball game but the Bulldogs put on an 87 yard drive picking up six first downs with Trippi completing three passes In thii drive Donaldson scored from the nine on a lateral from Rauch doing some fancy stepping down the aide line as he weaved his way through for the touchdown Jernigan made

Georgia score came in the third period with Charlie Trippi slipping over from the 12 to end a 57-yard march Jernigan got his fifth extra point ONLY THREAT The Tigers made their only bid for a touchdown at the start of the second half when Nolan Lang who played a headsup hall gama recovered fumble on Georgia's 23 The Tigers picked up a first down to the six but after four tries at the strong Bull- Tiger spray gun from the Athens campus which exploded here on Memorial Field and left the Auburn men with nothing to look forward to but a hot shower and the trip back home to the Village on the Plains" For a fellow who had been sick with influenza or a bad case of the sniffles all week Trippi certainly took up his bed and walked away with the Auburn aggregation Apparently all of the sniffling was coming from the Auburn side of the stadium but this wasn't caused by bad colds Traveling Trippi really returned dog forward wall Georgia took over on the four Although the Tigers tried hard to score in the last moments of the game they were unable to get going against a Georgia second and third string outfit Trippi came out after he scored the Bulldog's final touchdown in the third period and did not get back into the game The lineup: the High Purple Hurricane here on Friday -night at Porter Field The Poets were behind bars but only because they had slammed the big iron gates of Porter Stadium behind them as they jogged onto the field at 10 am yesterday for another one of their secret sessions before they tangle with the Purples Calisthenics headed the morning's schedule with the Lanier-ians hiking the sleep from their eves and limbering up their tightened muscles before getting down to the business at hand Coaches Harrison Clark and Porter gathered the boys together for a slight verbal going over before the actual head knocking started It's a safe bet that before Friday rolls around the Poets will be well versed in the Purple's tactics and they shouldn't be surprised at anything the Atlanta crew throws at them IMPRESSIVE IN DRILL The scrimmage started with the first stringers on the offense while the second and third string supplied the opposition Billy Henderson All-Southern halfback and Red Wilson All-GIAA end were standouts for the offense teaming up on several occasions for passes that netted long gains Willie Lovett understudy to Henderson turned in a topnotch performance on defense coming in to smash up plays before they matured and breaking up several pass attempts Present plans call for some scrimmage against the Purple plans on Tuesday and Wednesday with the third string taking over the role of the Boys' High eleven With the supply of reserve seat tickets completely exhausted Middle Georgia fans continue to latch on to the general

always in complete command of tha situation three game-clinching scores In ths final period to defeat Illinois 27-2 here today to stay in the Big Ten title race to Georgia today and most of the Bulldog fans were looking back on his debut against LSU like it was just something awful that happened to somebody else The All-American service sensation bucked the line skirted end passed kicked one time for 74 yards and in short constructed the cage to put the Tigers in soon after the opening whistle Charlie even stood out on down-field blocking leaving a trail of would-be tacklers and a clear path to the goal for his brother Bulldog backs as the scoreboard keeper fanned his brow and totaled Georgia's 35 points SOME BOOT Georgia was compelled to punt only once in the firot half and this time Trippi kicked the pigskin 74 yards down to the shadow of the Auburn goal posts The Bulldogs had the upper hand from the start and the upper hand was Trippi With three minutes to play the stadium was emptying fast Georgia had won the ball game early in the first half and the only uncertain part about the outcome of the one-sided tussle was just how much or how bad the score would be Some 70000 fans were squeezed in to the stadium with the cold drink boys sandwich salesmen and peanut peddlers needing hard blocking and interference to find room to sell their wares Georgia rooters however were only Interested in one dish post-season bowl and this had nothing to do with their stomachs or eating High hopes for a possible bid from the Orange or Sugar Bowl were riding home with the Bulldogs to Athens after the impressive smearing of Auburn Auburn's band gave a spirited rendition of That Tiger in the first half but this weakened some as the Bulldogs piled up more points and a Ft Benning
