TT irnppn Woctoiry Ace Passer's Receivers Click; Jacket Line Stands Up Well By ED DANFORTII, Journal Sports Editor Charlie Trippi, the Pass-Pitching Party from Pennsylvania, made a shambles of Grant Field Saturday with his buggy-whip arm and his trusty cleats as he led the University of Georgia football boys to a 33-0 victory over Georgia Tech in plain view of 30,000 people.

Army's magnificent monster crushed Navy in. no uncertain terms here Saturday, 32-13, and thereby took the second national football championship to fall to the Cadets in 18 straight victories.

Felix Blanchard and Glenn Davis again made their names synonymous with the greatest Army traditions as Blanchard blasted for three touchdowns and Davis raced for two. The Cadets could not be stopped UNCLE BUD DALEY WATCHES GEORGIA FROM TECH BENCH Wallace Daley (Uncle Bud, himself) had been unable to get a ticket to the Tech-Georgia game. Now, Uncle Bud loves Georgia better than his own folks. He went to college at Athens a good many years ago and came to Atlanta to practice law, but he still figures he is here on business. You know.

Uncle Hud took his time about ordering tickets to the game and what happened but all of them were sold by mail two months ago. He has been asking all his roommates, relatives, friends and acquaintances approximately 2,350 if they knew where he could buy a couple of tickets. They were sorry, etc. Norris Georgia Tech assistant coach, heard about Uncle Bud's plight Friday. (Dont imagine for a moment Urcle Bud has been quiet about his fix.) Dean called him: Listen, Wallace, Im sending you a sideline pass.

You and a friend can sit on our bench. Come in the players gate teams. They mishandled a couple Georgias victory rounded out a fine season for the Bulldogs who finished with eight won and two lost (L. S. U.

States swift moving backs scored the first time they got their hands on the ball, were held in check for a few minutes by the scrapping Greenies, then turned on the pressure to make the game a runaway. Fists flew during the heated skirmish, and the officials were kept busy stepping off penalties.

From the first series of downs, Army proved its greatness, however, when Arnold Tucker, Davis and Blanchard crunched down field in nine downs to score when Blanchard, Big Boy or Mr.

All-America, whichever way you like it, battered over from the one-yard line. Again in the first period, Blanchard cracked through the blue-topped Navy line, removed a Navy backer-up with a thrust from the shoulder and went for 17 yards and across. Davis got in his first dash to glory a few minutes later from 42 yards away. He simply out ran Navy as it rusted at anchor in his wake. Navy finally caught on to the frayed skirt of Dame Fortune in the dying seconds of the first half when Bruce Smith, the Miami kid field general, looped a long and lazy pass to Smackover Scott and the Arkansas ridge runner got across just as Glenn Davis caught him from behind after a 43-yard chase.

Dec. 1. (U.R) University of Southern Califor-nilu's thundering herd clinched its third consecutive Rose Bowl bill Saturday with a smashing 26-15 victory over University of California at Los Angeles before fans at Memorial Coliseum, the year's biggest football crowd. The Trojans' scored after 10 minutes of the first period and piled up a commanding 19-0 lead at halftime to assure themselves their ninth Bowl bid, making the official vote of the Pacific Coast Conference only a formality. It was Stubby Halfback Ted Aiahama Tannehill, the most consistent Trojan player all season, who quickly spelled U.

C. L. A.s doom and gave Southern California the right to play Alabama New Year's Day. Tannehill, caught. from behind on an early 52-yard sprint, was not to be denied a second time.

A poor quick-kick by Skip Rowland fell- dead on the U. S. C. 45-yard line, and on the next play, Reserve Quarterback Jerry Bowman passed in the flat to Tannehill, who, starting from the line of scrimmage, whirled through the entire U. C.

L. A. team and outran the secondary for a touchdown. Only after first half rest period did U. C.

L. A. begin to show life. Rowland passed to Brooks Biddle for a 69-yard scoring play two minutes after play resumed. In lion of The nah5M whitiry Rear Woxnlak Manrha roe rauiit (ala Self fSllaier Frdak Miaaianlasl Taarhdatrn: Corbett, FMnl.

Uncle Bud hesitated: -Hut, look here, Norris, you KNOW Ill have to yell for Georgia. I couldnt look at a Georgia game and keep quiet. You know that. Yell all you want to, Uncle Bud, Coach Dean said. Don't mind us.

Well be so worried we'll never hear you. we might be yelling for Georgia ourselves before its over. So, the stanchest Georgia rooter roosted on the Tech bench and let himself go in his best hog-calling voice. This incident is reported to show how cordial (and dull) are the relations between Tech and Georgia these days of world fraternity. It is hard to imagine that the great educators of the early 1920's thought a game between Georgia and Tech inadvisable because hard feelings, fist-fights and downright rioting would result.

(Authors Note Just then the Saturday edition came up with pictures and gory details of a battle royal at Five Points between Tech and Georgia students. The latter were trying to burn a coffin labeled Tech. The world has not sugared on us after all.) THE SPIRIT OF GEORGE POSCHNER Bob Troutman, president of all the Georgia alumni, mentioned his canvass for the alumni fund that has spread over the South wherever Athens men gather, lie was talking to the Atlanta alumni at their dinner and pep meeting the night before the Tech-Georgia game. Bob told about an alumnus, a football star, who went into the Battle of France and came out with his right hand severely damaged and the left temporarily useless. The man began battling his way hack to usefulness.

Doctors and nurses worked on his left hand patiently. Slowly it came closer to controlled movement. At last he could make his first hesitant efforts to sign his name. His first signature, done at infinite pain and effort, was to draw a check to the alumni fund. A football scholarship made it possible for me to have an education at Georgia, the.

man explained. I want to pay back part of that debt to help some other boy. The man was Lieutenant George Poschner. That is the glowing spirit of the chap for whose future people all over Georgia and the South have created a trust fund that will tntal.mnre than $20,000. They have done it over a long period without a high-pressure sales campaign.

The fund was opened on the sports pages of The Atlanta Journal just that and the generosity of the people of Georgia and of the South made it grow. The Georgia old grads were touched by Posrhner's presence at their party. They gave him a tremendous ovation. George and his mother. Mrs.

Rose Poschner, were too affected to respond. Their appreciation nrrded no words to interpret. The Atlanta Journal is happy to have been the channel through which the fund could be created. The responnse exceeded reasonable expectations. It was clear Lieutenant Poschner, star of two Tech-Georgia football games, needed no charity, but he could and does accept the gifts of appreciation from the people of a state he hai come to call home.

PITCHERS' CONTRACTS CLEMSON. S. Dec. 1 W1) Wake Forests Deacons, came from behind to crowd over two second half touchdowns and a 13-to-6 football victory over Clemson here Saturday afternoon. The loss, first Southern Conference defeat of the season for the Tigers, spoiled home-coming day for a partisan crowd of 15,000 Clemson' rooters.

Wake Forests hard-charging line escorted Tailback Nick Sacrinty down the field almost at will, once sending him into the end zone on a 52-yard run to climax a 73-yard drive. Sacrinty Crackers, With 114 Ball Players, Peddle Extra Ivory to Minors FOOTBALL SCORES 2-yard line set up the score. After a Wake Forest punt, Butler scored around end without being touched on an 11-yard run. Sacrinty exploded midway of the third quarter for the first Deacon touchdown, being ushered from his own 48 by Bruno und Foreman through the Clemson secondary and the tally. Brother Bo kicked the extra point.

Wake Forests second touchdown, in. the fourth, climaxed a drive from its own 27. Nick Sacrintys 42-yard pass to John Kinsey was the big blow in the offensive and Sacrinty scored from the Clemson one-yard stripe. SUMMARY n.EMSON WAKE FORFST Hrvp nrrlon J. Harris Fareman Ralierea Hobbs I.
