Rolls Over Trojan Eleven, 44-21

BY CURTIS DRISKELL
CARTERSVILL.Y, Nov. 20. — Staging a last quarter rally that netted them three
tonchdowns, the AYhens High Trojans stili could not overcome the lead compiled by
a powerhouse Carter.sville aggregration here Friday night and fell before the classy
Purple Hurricane atta ck, 44-21. i
The game was played on 2 wet muddy field that produced a half dozen fumbles
in each backficld. Better than 4,000 avid fans turned out to watch the homelings
mare hto their eigthth wir 'in nine games this season.
Led by a backfield combination
of Joe Powers, Jimmy Colvin,
Bill Rainey, and Freshmamn Quar
terback Bobby Dodd, the Purple
Hurricane had piled up a 38-to-0
lead before ever allowing th ¢ Tro
jans to produce their first tireat.
A big, rugged Carterville fare
wall spearheaded by the play of
a five-foot-seven 180 powind
guard named Johnson had the stit
uation well in hand for most of
the route, and stymied most of tlue
Trojan line-busting plays.
- Touchdowns Come Late
Touchdowns by Billy Cook and
Jimbo Thornton in the last quarter
provided some consolation for the
Athens supporters, but came too
late to make much difference in
the final outcome.
Powers scampered over in the
first period from 15 yards out for
the first Cartersville tally, Col
vin added another score in the
second frame with a 47-yard
sprint, and Rainey closed out the
first half scoring with a 33-yard
run for paydirt. Only one conver
sion was good, that on a line'
plunge, and put the Hurricane out
front 19-0.
Joe Powers, famous for run
backs of kick-offs and punts, pull
ed the string on the most beautiful
play of the game as the second
half whistle had blown. Taking in
Frank Eberhart’s kick-off on his
own 23, Powers galloped all the
way down the right sidelines be
hind a good wedge of interference
and crossed the goal standing up.
The buck for point was stopped.
Rainey climaxed a 47-yard
drive for the next Cartersville tal
ly with a 19-yard run off tackle,
and Dodd, 208-pound Hurricane'
signal caller, added the point to
make it 32-0. Dodd lobbed an 18-
yard pass to End Ross for the'
sixth t. d., but an attempt to buck |
over the point was nipped. |
e Cook Breaks Lose i
An alert bit of play on the/ part |
of Athens’ line set up the first
Trojan score on the opener of the
final guarter, when the: Hurricane
backs let a wet ball skitter away
into the arms of the Trojan line oh
the Cartersville 25. Billy Cook
broke loose on the next play and
sliced into the end zone. Eberhart’s
kick was perfect and made the
score 38-17. 1
Buddy Jones, Trojan tackle,
came up with another Purple
fumble a few plays later, and set
up the second tally from the Car
tersville 35. ’Williams-to—Marshal”
carried to the 10 and Jimbo
Thornton, crashed over from‘
there. Eberhart again booted a
perfect placement. .
Bill Rainey added the last Hur
ricane points on the second play
from the next kickoff with a 57~
yard haul. Johnson’s attempted
kick was blocked by Marshall and
Thornton.
Thornton plunged over from the
three to end the scoring after a
Cook-Williams pass, a penalty,
and Thornton’s running had pen
etrated that far. Eberhart added
his third placement to give Athens

17,000 See Purples’ Stubborn
Defense Crumble In 4th Quarter
By 808 OLIVER, Banner-Herald Sports Editor
Wally Butts’ Georgia Bulldogs, with one eye set on
the Tech game, finally began rolling in the latter
stages of the game here yesterday and a stubborn Fur
man Purple Hurricane was turned back before 17,000
fans, 33-0. :
Furman, playing it close to the
|vest, held the Bulldogs com-l
pletely at bay in the first quarter,
{but the Georgians managed to
Ipanch over a lone tally in the
second canto to have a 7-0 lead
at halftime. |
It looked ior a while like
the boys from Greenville were
going to make a repeat perform
ance from the '4B game, ‘which
the Bulldogs were hard-pressed
to win, 13<7. But Georgia power
i finally canie through in the end.
’ 76-Yard March
Georgia’s ' first scoring drive
began at their own 24. It took
only six plays to make the six
pointer. A 44-yard pass, John!
Rauch to John Duke, ate up most‘
of the yardage. With the ball at
the Furman 27, Floyd Reid car
ried twice and the ’skin was at
the Hurricane five. It took Joe
Geri only two smashes into the
line to cross the twin bars. Geri,
who missed two extra point tries,
converted on his first try and
Georgia left the field at inter- |
mission with a 7-0 lead.
With Furman still playing good
defensive ball, the Ilocals gar
nered only one touchdown in the
third quarter. This came on an
82-yard drive, with fullback John
Tillitski being the spear-head of
the march. 'Tillitski made a 51-
yard sprint to the Furman 28
’aftcr Geri had accounted for
‘three to the Georgia 21. Reid
fumbled and Tillitski recovered
on the third play of the driye,
and then the Canton, Ohio, full
back swept right end for 23
yards and the T. D. Tillitski’c‘
scoring jaunt saw him twist out
of the arms of at least a halfi
dozen tacklers, Geri converted
and Gecrgia went into the last
quarter leading 14-0.
The Bulldogs racked up 19
pomnts in the fourth quarter, with
the sophomore sensation from
Tifton—Billy Mixon—coming in
to the game and sparking a
scoring drive with two runs that
netted 39 wvyards, the last 16 of
which resulted in a touchdown.
J:hn Donaldson, the Jesup
Jumped, made the neatest run of
the day, sprinting 49 yards for a
touchdown early in the final per
iod. Furman men rwarmed on the
fleet Donaldson at the Purple
ten-yard line, but John spun out
of their grasp and sailed into
promise lancd.
Ray Prosperi’s perfect pass ac
counted for the Red @nd Black’s
final touchdown with five min=
utes left in the game. Bob Wals
ton was 15 yards behind the
safety man when Ray hit him
with a bullet that was good for
a 29-yard scoring play.
Joe Missed Twice
Geri, who had missed only one
extra point try out of 31 attempts
coming into the Furman tilt,
missed on two efforts against the
Hurricane, but boosted his point
total for the season to 87 points.l
The Furman club showed a
a strong defense throughout, and
it was Georgia’s superior play in
the pinches that spelled defeat te
the invaders. Most of Georgia's
Lscores rame on gquick strikes
|l'ather than sustained marches,
with every® score resulting from
[either a long pass or a large
ground-eatling run. . '
| Rauch was somewhat off in
‘his passes, ~ompleting only three
of ten for 56 yards. However, ai
least four were dropped by re
ceivers after an excellent toss
was thrown,

Win Over Citadel
ATLANTA, Nov. 20.—(AP)—The Georgia Tech Yel
low Jackets used The Citadel Bulldogs for a punching bag
today to win 54-0 and give the scrubs a chance for a work
out.
‘For Tech the game, attended by
15,000 fans, was only a breather
in preparation for the Georgia
Bulldogs next Saturday. However,
:he victory had an ominous price
ag.
Hays McKinney, of Gadsden,
Ala, Tech guard who plays both
right and left, broke his ankle
when he tried to run the ball. An
Atlanta automobile dealer, had
promised to deliver a new conver
tible if he scored this season.
The victory has the Jackets’
greatest since 1937 when they de
feated Presbyterian 59-0. Forty
five Tech men had a part in the
runaway. .
In the third play of the game
Tech’s star sophomore half back
Bob McCoy cut around his left
end and weaved among the entire
Citadel team for 87 yards and a
touchdown. Halfback Dinky Bow
en converted his first of three ex
tra points.
s Scored With Ease
The second, third and fourth
times the Yellow Jackets got the
ball they scored with apparent
ease.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn,, Nov. 20.— (AP )—Both Kentucky
and Tennessee marched up and down the gridiron in vain
today, battling to the fifth scoreless tie in their long
Southeastern Conference rivalry.
The boys from the Blue Grass
obviously were highly-keyed for
the game, for they have never

The double-header football

Club of Atlanta teams which was
scheduled for Friday night was
postponed because ‘ot she rainy

The members of the local Prep

Fritz Orr 12 and under team while
the Athens “Y” Cub 10 year old
and under team was to play the
Atlanta club’s 10 and unded team.
Previously this season in At

second went awry when Tackle
Bob Gian’s place kick sailed to the
right of the uprights from Ten
nessee’s 27-yard line.
Tennessee muffed four scoring
opportunities, only one of which
came as the result of a sustained
drive. g e )
The Vols’ first chance came ear
ly in the sécénd period when
Guard Roy “Smith pounced on
Clayton Webb’s fumble on the
Cats’ 16. J. B. Proctor, Tennessee’s
ace passer, was rushed into the
battle, but he forsook his role as
an aerial artist and in two thrusts
at the line drove to Kentucky’s
three-yard stripe.
Proctor then elected to pass and
was smeared for an eight-yard
loss. Additional passes fell incom

its 11.
Kentucky kicked out and Ten
nessee came marching back from
it’s own 46. Hal Littleford sparked
a drive which carried down to the
’Cats 19 before Kentucky’s Lee
Truman reached up and speared a
pass on the 17 to halt this march.
