at the outset under the leader ship of their veteran Captain Barnes that carried potential threats to the Georgians' goal but each time they were held by a rock like de fense at the crucial moment Played In Scorching Sun Both squads suffered from the heat of a scorching sun that brought ak most mid Summer temperatures and necessitated frequent delays for time out and substitutions Randolph started the scoring soon after tho opening of tho second period with a lunge by Thomason after Mizell and Randolph had carried the ball to within striking distance The Cadets braced and for a time neither seemed to have an advan tage the offense shifting first from on to the other side Then Lumpkin went in as a substitute for Thom ason and the time turned again On almost his first play the young sophomore distinguished him self by a sensational 14 yard rush through right tackle which carried hl mover the Cadet goal in the third period After bowling over three I tacklers who sought to stop him he got across with three others hanging to him Shulman scored the extra point Pae Wilt As the game progressed passing attack became less effective Many heaves falling incompleted or being intercepted Tech ventured into aerial play infrequently but did manage several decisive gains in that fashion Once however the ever present Barnes snatched a Yellow jacket heave out of the air and con verted it into an 11 yard loss ior Tech This seemed to make them wary As the closing moments of the contest which became a punting duel as defense lines of each side were tightened Tech threatened
