Tech's margin of victory was by two touchddwns, one in the second quarter and another in the third period.

The touchdown came suddenly afid roused the Tech team to a fighting frenzy that Georgia was powerless to quench. Tech got the hall on Georgia's 41-yard line after a punt in the second period. A line play failed and Tech drew a penalty. Then Mizelle shot a pass to Ducant, who ran for a touchdown. "Stumpy" Thomason, Tech's great hnlfbnck, intercepted a Georgia pass ivid ran 57 yards -to Georgia's 22-yard line, in the third period, Tlie second touchdown came shortly afterwards.

Without pausing, San Mateo hammered borne two terrific thrusts into the demoralized Yellow line and tlie ball was on the five-yard line. Another bolt, the bullet figure of Mirk piercing center, advanced It to the two-yard line. Meyers found a hole at left tackle and dived across the line. Here fate Intervened again and the play was called back.

Scull was selected on the mythical all-eastern team chosen by the consensus of opinion Among eastern sports writersand coaches. Ed Hake, tackle, was also- placed on this team, and rightly so, for he is a Class A tackle If there ever was one, especially on the offense.

Georgia outgained Tech, from scrimmage almost 2 to 1, but the game was never in doubt. When yards counted the Tech backfield and the line had the necessary punch. Georgia ran up against a steel barrier when in Tech Estes, McCrary and Dudley- were only sure-footed in njid-field. To the Tech line and to Thomason and Mizell must go most of the laurels. Captain Crowley, Pund, Hood and Wad- dey smeared many a Georgia play.

Estes of Georgia played a brilliant game for the Bull Dogs. He outpunted Mizello consistently, although the Tech halfback got off several of 50 yards. The first quarter saw the foot tackles, or stepped back and.eno zipping passes over the line with his trip in addition meeting Alonso Stagg, Bob Zuppke, "Navy equal faculty.

With Domicll and Barstow alternating as the ball carrying ace, one relieving the. other in the game, they kept a constant fire of wide running plays which at times- swept the whole San Mateo jflank protection aside in brilliant- running interference.

Young have adhered to Smith's witnessing the two eastern contests that Pacific coast football is every bit as good as the eastern brand and a great deal more sensational. He was amused to note that the Army used the same backfield formations and plays that Price used when he coached San Diego High school to a southern California championship.

A committee appointed by the other League club owners is opposing the withdrawal. James C.

Srhommer was at the annual Big Ten banquet attended by inch football dignitaries as Horween of Harvard, Hawley of Dartmouth, and scores of other nationally-known coaches. Notre Dame won the game, 7 to 6, but some Spectators and football men held that at one period of the game, when the ball was grounded' behind the Notre Dame goal, it should have been scored as a safety fdf Southern California. Schdmmer held it was a toucliback. Drnry, of the California team, was quoted as saying bis team "had traveled a long way to be robbed of a victory." tt "This business of officiating in football games 5s getting to be sick-, ening," Schommer declared. "It's disgusting to find football coaches punishing men who do their duty by striking their names off the list of acceptable officials.

"I gave an honest decision in the U. S. Dame game. I'll never stay in the game when I'm afraid to do that despite all the criticism of the 'gutless wonders' who punish officials for an adverse ruling." More than 300 guests cheered, Schommer for 10 minutes.
