The bulldogs entered the game favored to win by some two touchdowns. Hut tha festivities had hardly gained any sort of momentum ksTnrs tha Bulldogs discovered they had met a tartar. And It was only hy following up tha one and only big break which went their sy that they were able to score.

The break came on a bad piece ofvork by Sam Maphis, Virginia captain and fullback. It presented itself in tha third period when Maphis. standing In midfield, dropped hack on fourth down to punt kicking being the ieiiral issue under tha circumstances. On a bad pass, Maphis fumbled tut quickly recovered. But it waa too Georgians swarmed all nor him.

Dart mouth, fisU Chicago, held to a 3-to-S tie by. Ohio State, fought Illinois, outstanding favorite to capture the. championship, to a 21-21 tie today In. a game that for. sheer desperation of fight, never has been equalled on Stag field.

-The Maroonp. who had been figured to fall an easy victim' to the super-Illinois 1 eleven, as Michigan and Iowa elevens fell before -them, unleashed a cyclonic attack at the very start, instead of attempting to puxsle out a way of stopping the famous 'Bed' Grange. Kips Before the game-had been under way five minutes the UUnX forced en the defensive, had- reason to believe they were playing eleven Red" Granges, chief of whom waa Austin 175-pound fullback, who ripped the Illinois Uns to pieces, momentarily wrecked ths morals of Zuppkos warriors, snd had smashed his way. over for a touchdown after steady march gown the field almost before Illinois knew what it eras alllabout. Then the Maroons repeated the drive, and Thom a went over- for.

a second touchdown on the first play of tha second period. It was only after this second touchdown Chicago had; to start thinking about Grange, It was all a part of Coach Staggs strategy of stealing Zuppke'a offensive thunder and pounding the ball into tho Illinois territory. Instead of playing a defensive game and waiting for a chance to itop The game, witnessed by a capacity crowd 35.000 spectators, waa full of thrills from tha first kickoff. Grange, living up to his reputation ing at will. Georgia's offensive during the Quarter wae a moot negligible Quantity.

The Bulldog, forwards were being outcherged by the Cavalier linesmen and consequence r.eorgi a backs were thrown before they could start. With the second quarter over, the Georgians began playing the brand of ball of which they are capable and held the edge. They chalked up three first downs to Virginia's one. The Bulldogs in the first halt didn't uncover a single play, holding everything back until tho second chukker when they stretched out and let go with a spectacular assortment of plays. Their work in the second session was brilliant In every respect.

The linesmen were In there opening up holes, tho backs wero running fast end nicely and their comrades were giving them splendid interference. And it is a fin tribute to the pluckt-ncss and fighting abiUty of tbo VIr ginlans that Georgia didn't acore two or three or inaybo four touchdowns during the half.

The last Vanderbilt acore came In the third period when Keene downed -a poor punt by Patty which went less than five yards. From tho 25-yard line, 'Vanderbilt started a- march which resulted la Ryan battering his way acrons for a touchdown. Wakefield missed. all his fries for points as a result, of ragged passing.

He was taken outjn-the third period. Vanderbilt made a touchdown threat In the closing quarter, but a fumble on tha six- yard line on fourth down wrecked the chance. -1 The line-play 1 of Vanderbilt was extremely aggressive and the Aggie backs found it almost impossible to get to the line of scrimmage. Gar-tain Young was severely punished and forced to retire. Ryan, save for blocked1 punt, gave a fine exhibition of toe work tn the punting duel with 'ratty made necessary by the rain.
