“Bulldogs Riding Atop Conference;
-
Almost Assured Of Tie For Crown
They had a hard time of it down in Jacksonville, but
today the Georgia Bulldogs are riding high, wide and
handsome atop the Southeastern Conference with a spot
less 4-0 record inside the family circle.
ia Tech® who has been the boss up to date, threw the hot
poug)e?;:rif into the lap of Wally Butts as they lost to ’l‘enn(:ssee Sat
urday in Atlanta. Now the pressure is on Georgia. But that’s alright,
by SHOULD THE Bulldogs get past Auburn this week, un‘flm?hzf?'s
almost a formality, they need io win or tie Tech here the 27ih iovi
the conference crown. A tie for the title is the worse they can get.

there is something I haven’t fig- L W

Dodd held back his two best 7 ~’»?;A E 9
backs, Dinky Bowen and Red Pat~ e o %
ton, until the last minute of the A . 4 /
third quarter, when the blue-clad , hesas
boys were 13 points behind. I don’t % PR

in then had it not been for the de- ' il
mand by the Tech crowd, who gave > _WA“'ACE BUTTS
out with loud chants for the two Head Coach
stars. PUTS BULLDOGS ON TOP
WELL, WHAT happens when these two go into the game? Right
away Bowen takes the ball four out of five times, three in succession,
angd advances the pigskin 35 yards. And then Patton takes a lateral
and heaves a beautiful running pass 40 yards into the end zone, where
interference is ruled, and the ball put on the Tennessee one. From
here Bowen scores. See what I mean? I honestly believe Tech would
have won the game had these two been in there from the outset.
Tech supporters may insist that Frank Zeigler is a good fullback,
but he didn’t show it Saturday. In fact, his play was almest as
sloppy as the field, On running plays he literally walked into the
line. On defense he was only fair. It was his fumble that cost Tech ‘
that touchdown in the first two minutes of play. One thing is for
certain, had he been playing for Georgia Saturday, he’d been ‘
Jerked out of that game but quick. Wally Butts doesn’t put up
with play like that. And Butts usually wins. |
Alabama plays Tech this week, a team that the Bulldogs turned
back by five touchdowns. If the Jackets have what it takes, they will
bounce back and murder the Tide. But we doubt if the score will be
anything like 35-0. |
SHORT CAPERS — Bozo Clodfeller is about ready to pack his
bag and head back to those north woods. The upset weekend did just
that to “Bozie”. He missed six, got 16 right and had one tie. I tried
to explain to Clodfeller that under the circumstances that wasn’t bad.
But Bozo only countered with, “A genius has no excuses.” The old
fellow now has an .802 percentage, still plenty good, having picked
144 right, 29 wrong and five ties.
—— NEVADA, GEORGIA TECH, NORTH CAROLINA' and
PENNSYLVANIA fell from the ranks of the undefeated and untied.‘
The Tarheels were tied by William and Mary, 7-7; Nevada fell before |
Santa Clara, 14-0; Penn was beaten by Penn State, 13-0; and Tech,
of course, was defeated by Tennessee, 13-6. This leaves only Army,
Notre Dame, Michigan, California and Clemson with perfect records.
—— Wonder what happened to Stan Heath in yesterday’'s game
- with Santa Clara. Up to this game the Nevada ace had thrown 22
touchdown passes, but he couldn’t put across the Broncos for love
or money. Perhaps it doesn’t pay to play on Sunday. But it did for
Santa Clara. I guess it was a case of a better than average team
, (Nevada), playing a week schedule. This probably knocks the Wolf
Pack out of the bowl picture. ’
—— Georgia is definitely in the bowl picture at the present
time. If the Bulldogs can get by Tech — New Orleans here we come!
—— Joe Geri wasn’t credited with a miss on the try for Georgia’s
third extra point in Jacksonville Saturday. A fumbled snap cost the
‘ Bulldogs the additional point, but Joseph never attempted the kick.
; Ken McCall, the holder, lateraled the ball back to Geri after he saw
“ it was too late to kick, and Joe tried to run it over to no avail. The
' Georgia halfback has a record of 24 conversions out of 25 attempts
for the season, and leads the conference in scoring with 60 points.

ATLANTA, Nov. B.—(AP)—The bowl teams of the Southeastern Conference are
Georgia, Tulane, Mississippi, Tennessee and Tech but their hopes soon may be afflicted
with reoccurrance of an old disease-——upsetitis.
The remaining schedule will be
rough on the leaders and begin
ning Saturday the list will be
clipped.
From the reogrds only Georgia
appears to have’an easy time com
ing up, but other factors than past
performances enter Auburn-Geor

-~ NEW YORK, Nov. B—(AP) —
twenty-one senior college football
teams boast unbeaten, untied rec
ords going into the November
stretch.
They survived a rocky week
end that saw four of the major
teams with perfect records and
eight of the smaller schools knock
ed from the perfect ranks.
The victims in the Big League
class were Pennsylvania, Georgia
Tech, North Carolina and Nevada.
Their slipups—three of them
lost and North Carolina was held
to a tie—left only Notre Dame,
Michigan, Army, California and
Clemson unblemished in the upper
category.
Also stricken from the list were

NEW YORK, Nov. B—(AP)—
Hank Treesh of Hanover (Ind.)
college, one of the top offensive
football stars among small schools,
now leads the Nation’s college
scorers with 102 points.
He scored three touchdowns
Saturday as Hanover whipped In
diana Central, 40-12. This gave
him a three point edge over Dan
Towler of Washington and Jeffer
son, who had been leading the
scoring parade. Treesh has scored
17 touchdowns in seven games.
Towler’s points have come on 15
tounchdowns and nine extra

FLORIDA SWARM STOPS BULLDOG—The only-Georgia Bulldog in this picture
is the ball carrier, Eli Maricich (33), as swarm of Florida tacklers break through
to epill him for a loss in game at Jacksonville Saturdayv. Principal tackler is Cliff
Sutton. Georgia was hard-pressed te win from the keyed-up 'Gators, 20-12, to take
over Scutheastern Conference leadership as Georgia Tech lost.—(AP Wirephoto.)
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
burn could slow them. And that
wasn’t the only upset in the series,
the oldest in Southern football,
The Plainsmen and Bulldogs
have played since 1892 and runa
way games were few, Georgia has
defeated Auburn 25 times, Auburn
has won 21 and five were ties. .
- In tradition Auburn-Georgia is
king in the Southeastern but Sat
urday’s biggest game will be play
ed either in Memphis or in New
Orleans.
Tennessee vs. Ole Miss
The Tennessee Vols who revolt
ed aaginst the reign of - Georgia
Tech and upset the Yellow Jack
ets 13-6, meet the defending cham
pions Mississippi Rebels in 'Mem
phis. Tulane, now the big dark
horse of the league, plays Baylor
of the Southwest Conference in
New Orleans. /
Until Saturday’s defeat by Tex
as the Baylor Baptists were the
second team in their conference
and because of that defeat they
will be the underdog against Tu
lane.
Who the favorite will be in the
Tennessee-Mississippi game is a
matter of personal preference. The
odds, whichever the choice, should
be short or none at all. Both teams
are among the bowl gazers and
the best that can happen for both
is a tie. Otherwise one of them can
quit watching in the directions of
New Orleans, Miami or Dallas for
the postman with a New Year’s
iDay invitation.
~ The weakest Crimson Tide in
years, except during the war,
meets an ego-deflated Tech in At
lanta. Alabama has nothing to lose
while Tech has to win to hope to
hear from New Orleans, Miami or
‘Dallas.
Getting out of the bowl circie,
Florida goes to Lexington to play
the Kentucky Wildcats. Between
the two is only one conference vic
tory — Florida’s over Auburn.
However, outside the conference
neither has been defeated. Ken
tucky was tied 13-13 by Villanova
Saturday to keep its unbeaten
record straight outside.
High scoring Vanderbilt should
AHS Trojans Prepare
For Thomaston Rebels
~ Athens High’s Trojans ‘N'Nere to get back down to serious
work at practice this afternoon in preparation for their
next opponent, Robert EjiLee of Thomaston. 2
Three more games remain on
the Trojan slate, including the tilt
with the Lee Rebels. Cartersville
and Gainesville round out ;{fche
schedule for the Trojans, withr all
three games played away from
home. |
“Bees” Play Thursday
Coaches Jerry Nunnally and
Don Jenkins meanwhile are prep
ping that “B” team charges for
the second game of the season
this Thursday night. Victims of a
late Eastanollee rally in their
opener, the “B” squad boys are
determined to take their game
‘with the Junior Purple Hurricane
of Toccoa this week. The game
’will be played out of town also.
~ Coaches Nunnally and Jenkins
sent their boys through a brief but
effective serimmage session Friday
:afternoon in the absence of prac
tice by the varsity. Offensively the
team dis improving, according to
Coach Nunnally, and line play has
been pretty good throughout.
Injured Expected Back
The injured list of the varsity is
expected to have decreased a bit
today, with Hall Weller, Dickie
Carteaux, and Jule Spears ex
pected to be able to go through
the Monday afternoon workouts.
Weller, regular end, with a badly
turned ankle; Carteaux, halfback,
with a severe charleyhorse; and
Spears, playing his third year at
end and bothered by a recurring
shoulder injury, ill were unable
to scrimmage with the rest of the
team Thursday afternoon.
Coaches Reid Moseley and Lou
Blanton will probably send the
squad through comparatively light
drill this afternoon, as they do al
have a fine chance to run up an
other giant score against Marshall
in Nashville. Vandy’s last four
scoring outings total 156 points—
-39 points per game.
State at L. S. U.
Another second division battle
will be Mississippi State at L. S.
U. in Baton Rouge Saturday night.
The Bengal Tigers barely manage
to stay behind Auburn each week
in the race for the cellar door
while Mississippi State almost
steadily drifts downward. How
ever, its definite now the maroons
won’t wind up on the bottom. Re
gardless of what happens, Au
burn’s record will be worse than
State’s. L. S. U. can’t say the same.
Outlooks for the bowl threats
run headon in several instances
besides the Tennessee-Mississip
pi game. Tech meets Georgia in
‘their usual unguessable battle in
'Athens, Nov. 27 and Tennessee
plays in Nashville the same day
against the Vanderbilt Commo
dores who still have a faint chance
to play in a bowl.

The obliging Teenton, N. J,,

the scratch of a pen takes on the
pell-mell and persistent Garcia in
a 10-round over-the-weight con

pound title weight and less than
140 for the most ambitious test of
his ring career.
Williams’ appearance here will
be his first since he blasted Beau
Jack at Shibe Park July 12. Since
that fight he turned aside a title

Garcia earned his bid for To

Sports Roundup
By HUGH FULLERTON, JR.
‘CHAPEL HILL, N. C,; Nov. 8—
(AP)—North Carolina’s Carl Sav
ely is a single wing football
coach from away back. . , and af
ter facing four T-formation teams
this season, two that used the
wing with a balanced line and one
“real” single wing team, Snavely
will give you an argument that his
style is the best and most modern
kind of football . . He collected
some good evidence in a painful
way last Saturday. The ‘“real”
single wing team, William and
Mary, held Snavely’s Tar Heels to
tie.
Pro’s Prose :
“I think the T formation is be
coming more standardized than
the single-wing,” Snavely said,
professional football shows it.
They can buy a player one week
and play him the next Sunday.
He knows all the plays—they all
use the same ones, even the same
signals—and can handle the
blocking assignments . . . . You
can’t do that in the wing. The
blocking, especially the two-man
blocks, take z lot of time before
a player can ga' the assignments
right” . . . . somuone asked about
Carolina adopting some “Michi
gan” plays and the grey-haired
coach looked puzzled . . . . “We
use some buck-iateral plays, if
that’s what you mean. We're al
ways trying different things and
developing the game. That’s why
I think you can do more with the
single wing.” . ... P. S.: Satur
day’s game showed why Snavely
hasn’t much Michigan stuff. His
fullback, Hosea Rodgers, isn’t
adept enough at the faking and
spinning job.
You Take the Credit
[ Snavely, who isn’t. much of a
guy to squawk, registered one beef
|against the North Carolina publici
ity department the other day . .'.
‘Wandering into the officer, he re
marked mildly: “I want to make
a complaint. Qur linemen aren’t
getting enough credit. You’re writ
ing a lot about Justice, Rodgers
and Weiner, but we have a good
line, too.” . . . A cagey tub-thump
er asked: “Coach, can you name
any of the Notre Dame or Michi
gan linemen?” .. .“No,” admitted
Carl, “but I still think they should
get more credit.,”
The Final Te<t
Carolina’s Kenan Stacium, set in
a natural bowl surrounded by
woodland, is reputed to have the
most beautiful setting of any foot
ball field . . . Seeing it for the
first time, Johnny Cox, William
and Mary publicitor, made the ap
propriate comments, then added:
“Any stadium is beautiful when
it’s full.” ‘

NEW YORK, Nov. B.—(AP)—The Cleveland Brown;
spent the past two Novembers primping for the All-An,.
erica Football Conference’s championship game. But thi,
month finds the Browns preparing for two clashes against
the upstart San Francisco 49ers with the Western Divis.
ion title at stake.
The first of these two erucial
games is slated for Cleveland’s
Lakefront Stadium Sunday. The
second of the do-or-die clashes is
scheduled for the 49ers’ home gri
diron two weeks after the Cleve
land meeting.
Both of these powers tuned up
for their important battle next
week with triumphs yesterday.
The Browns dumped the Balti
more Colts, 28-7 for their ninth
straight viclory and 12th over a
two-year span. The 49ers racked
up their 10th consecutive decision,
trouncing the Chicago Rockets, 44-
21, to stay a half game in front
of the Browns.
Edgar (Special Delivery) Jones
led the Cleveland drive by scoring
twice. The loss knocked the Colts
out of first place in Eastern divis
ion chase in favor of the Buffalo
Bills. The Bills tamed the Brook
lyn Dodgers, 26-21. In the other
conference game, the New York
Yankees humbled the Los Angeles
Dons, 38-6.
The 49ers piled up a 37-0 lead
before the hapless Rockets scored
in the last period against the re
serves. The pitching of Frankie
Albert, as usual, highlighted the
49ers attack. ' : |
Buffalo resorted to ground plays
in beating the Dodgers. The Bills
picked up 419 yards via the ground ‘
route with Chét Mutryn sparking’
the drive with thrée touchdown
scampers. Rookie Bob Chappuis
set two confeernce records while
keeping the Dodgers in the game.
The former Michigan star at
tempted 51 passes and completed
26, both records.
| Four Texans
Four Texans — Pete Layden,
Jack Russell, Bruce Alford and
Spec Sanders—were the big guns
in the Yanks’ triumph over the
Dons. Layden pitched three six
point passes to Russell and Alford
while Sanders scored once and
passed for another touchdown.

NEW YORK, Nov. B.— (AP) —The unbeaten-iintied
ranks of major college foothall teams, cut almost in half
over the week-end, may be sliced near the middle again
come Saturday. '
Only five schools—Notre Dame,
Michigan, Army, California and
Clemson—still have perfect re

Both Army and Clemson face
their toughest opponent of the
season this week. This cadets have
the unpleasant task of meeting
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia with
Penn on the rebound for its 13-
0 licking by Penn State. Clemson
tangles with Wake Forest, 27-20
conqueror of Duke, at Winston-
Salem, N. C.
And then there’s the top game
of the day—Northwestern vs. No
tre Dame at South Bend.
The fighting Irish probably will
win this one by several touch
downs, but the Wildcats are above
the average caliber of Notre Dame
opponents this year.
No Trouble :
Michigan and California should
n’t have much trouble in main
taining their records. The Wolver
ines entertain Indiana which was
trounced, 42-6, by ‘Notre Dame
Saturday. California plays host
to Washington State Friday night.
Four perfect marks were broken
Saturday and Sunday. In addition
to Penn’s defeat, Georgia Tech
lost to Tennessee, 13-6; Nevada
was downed by Santa Clara, 14-
0; and William and Mary held
North Carolina to a 7-7 tie.
One of the 'biggest surprises
Saturday outside the unbeaten
ranks was Oklahoma’s 41-7 mas
sacre of Missouri. The Sooners
caught fire for 28 points in the
third quarter after a 7-7 first half.
The victory made Oklahoma a
good bowl possibility and probable
big seven champion, providing it
can get past Kansas, which was
idle Saturday.
Southern Methodist took over
first place in the Southwest con
ference with a 20-i4 decision over
Texas A. and M. while Texas
dumped unbeaten but once tied
Baylor, 13-10.
Army bolstered its claim that
it has powerful a club as in the
days of Glenn Davis and Doc
Blanchard by smothering Stan
ford, 43-0, in New York.
In the Southeastern conference,
Georgia took the lead by defeating
Florida, 20-12, as Georgia Tech
was stumbling before Tennessee.
Tulane, still in the title picture,
stopped V. M. 1., 28-17.
Oregon, which would like to win
|the nod over California as the
West Coast’s Rose Bowl represen
tative, moved past Washington 13-
7, while California had little trou
ble with U. C, L. A., and won 23-
18.
Northwestern, the probable big
nine representative at Pasadena
New Year’s Day since Michigan is
ineligible and the Notre Dame
game won't count, whipped Wis~
consin 16-7. Michigan sank the
Navy, 35-0.
