BY BOZO CLODFELLER iii 2
This is the final regular week of the '4B schedule, and
floyo feels like it's gonna be his best. I'm seeking a perfect
slate to close out the year, and there’s no better time than
the present.
I'M PUSHED {or time, so I'll get right into today's work. I've been
$0 busy lately, what with all these nerve-cick ~caches over the na
tisn writing, calling and phoning for my advice. 'm svch an im
portant persons.
GEORGIA OVER GEORGIA TECH-—l'mm risking a rerfect record
off (eorgia. I've called every one of their ninc games correctly, in
ciuaing the North Carolina game (Almost got fired, though ) Dar’t
bélieve Tech has the team to stop Old Wally if Geovgia plays like
they should. Trouble is, you can’t depend on ‘em. Anyway, I think
th%ll take the Jackets and the score wiil be (fanfare, maestro)-—
G QGIA 28, TECH 13!
ississippi over Mississippi State—Ole Miss, with their All-
Aniétican end, Barney Poole, should have liftle difficulty in
M’&l’u State and its All-Conference wvack, Shorty MeWilliams. . .
By two, or possibly more touchdowns,
Tulane over LSU—The Bayou Bengals stunned the football world
last week by downing Alabama by a decisive score, and a lot of folks
wl‘l be banking .on them to nupset tne Greenies, Won't happen, Take
itz'l"fg\ me. Ciive that 13 on the parley.
ORIDA OVER ALABAMA -— Geot a feeling here. T think the
*Gators have a fine ball club, and are capable of beating anyvbody
théy ‘play. Alabamia is unpredictabie and you can’t tell what might
hi.gpen. But Pl string along with the Florida eleven in a close con
test:
Vanderbilt over Tennessee — The Commodores can play for my
money (and probably will) any time. Neyland’s Volunteers can't stop
this crew. By about three
- Clemson over Auburn—Auburn may give the , undefeated
Tigers a little trouble, but Clemson power will show itself before
00 many minules have gone by. If Cieimson geis by Auburn,
ley have a perfect season in the bag, since The Citadel is the
;"relnalning opponent.
¥ OVER NAVY .— By all rights, the Kaydets should murder
t winless. Middies. But when these tv o teans incet, records mean
| of nothing, However, I can't see the future-sailors doing much
amage here. Army tc win in a one-gided ‘affai".
Arkansas over William and Mary—lt'il take Doth Bill and Mary,
with lets of hard work, to win this. one. Reports have il that nine
{irst stringers of the W. and M. team are down with the flu. And 1
#ave a feeling that the rest will be suffering with the sniffs after
Clyde Scott gets through wifiing the air.
Oklahomp over Okluhoma Aggies—A two-second pause while
everyone has a big horse laugh. Those Sooners are bowl-hound!
Kentucky over Miami — This ball game is heing played tonight
down in Miami. The Wildcats held Tennessee scoreless tast Saturday,
it didn’t score themselves (results a tie, of course), which may or may
n,dt Hive been good going. But Miami will be scored upon — several
tithes.
% AND THERE—North Carolina over Virginia, Marylana over
West Virginia, SMU over TCU, Baylor over Rite, Michigan State
aver Santa Clara, Brown over Colgate. Marquette over Arizona,
VMI over VPI, Notre Dame over Washington, Oregon State over

Fight Lost Cause For Bullpups
By 808 OLIVER, Banner-Herald Sports Editor
ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 25.—A rifling field goal from
the 14-vard line in the second quarter was the difference
as the Georgia Tech freshmen defeated Georgia’s Buli
| pups before 39,000 on Grant Field in the Scottish Rite’s
f:mmm! Turkey Day clagsic Thursday afternoon.
Throughout the final two pe
riods, the big crowd sat and wair
ed for some fireworks — but it
never came.-However; it was only
one yard away at one point, when
the Bullpups drove to the Tech
one in the fourth quarter, only so
fumble and see: the Baby Jackets
recover.
Dick Raber, a two-legged bull
from Altoona, Pa., was the star
for the Georgia club. Big Dick,
who stands six feet and weighs
180 pounds, tore into the Tech
line like a runaway Sherman tank
On the drive thatr carried to the
Jackets one madway the final pe
riod, Raber had been a one-man
advance corp and it was wonder
ed by some why a lateral play
was called when it was a cinch
Raber could have been beyond
Peachtree in three bucks (it was
second down) straight into the
line. i
Tech scored first. Nine minutes
had elapsed in the first quarter
when the first touchdown was
made. Bob Olshan fumbled and
Tech’'s Weigle recovered at the
Georgia 39. George Maloof picked
up five, and then Darrell Craw
ford hit Pete Ferris at the one.
Maloof bucker it over on the first
try, the extra point try was block
ed and Tech led as the quarter
ended, 6-0.
Zippy Morocco made a brilliant
punt return’from his 36 to the
Tech 46 to start the Bullpups on
their scoring march. It took six
plays to produce the six-pointer,
with the payoff play being a 28-
yard pass from Billy Grant to end
Jimmy Henson, who was behind
the Tech secondary in the end
zone, Wayne Haskins, the extra
point specialist, g’ooted to ball
squarely through the uprights and
the Bullpups held a short-lived
™6 lead. In that drive Raber was
the big gun, with a 14-yard run
being made during the course of
advancements.

drove the ball through the bars
midway the second quarter to put
the Jackets outfront for good.
Tech started from its own 35, and
hammered its way to the Georgia
seven. The Bullpups forced a punt
at one poinnt, but a roughing-the
kicker penalty gave the bhall back
to Tech after a 15-yard penalty
against the Athenians. It was
‘ourth down, with two yards for
a first down, when Harkness
kicked the field goal.
There was no scoring the sec
ond half, with the Georgia drive
to the one yard-line being the
only serious threat.
Both teams played good ball,
resulting in one of the best fresh
men games ever played in the
chairity series. It was hard to say
who had the better club, although
you couldn’t say Tech had because
they won the game. It was that
close. Georgia definitely had the
better running backs, with Rager
and Jerry Gallaher being head and
snoulders above any other backs
on the field. »
A slow turf kept Georgia’s
flashy Morocco ir-om cutting
loose. Grand looked good at times,
but showed very poor judgment
on several occasions.
In the front line of defense,
Jeff Burgamy, the Albany guard,
was the best the Bulldogs had,
with Fd Greenway, Marion Camp
bell, Dick Steele and Chris Filip
kowski looking 'good. Burgamy
played all but a few minutes of
the game, and called defensive
signals. The Bullpups used a five
man line most of the time and
Burgamy pulled out the first line
of defense and became a line
backer,

SOUTH BEND, Ond., Nov. 26—
(AP) — Record-minded Notre
Dame ends its home football sea
son tomorrow against the Univer

will be aiming for their 21st con
secutive victory.
The Huskies, meeting Notre
Dame for the first time, have lost
to Minnesota, Washington State,
California, Oregon, and Southern
California and have been tied by
Oregon State. Their two victories
were scored over USLA and Ida

they will be the medium by which
Notre Dame extends its winning
streak. !
Notre Dame’s curren streak of
26 games without defeat began
with the first game of the 1948
season when the Irish defeated
Illinois, 26 to 6. Coach Frank
Leahy’s team then won four more
before playing a scoreless tie with
Army. Since that game the Irish
have won 20 in a row, including

manager of the world champion
Cleveland Indian probably would
have madée a clean sweep. But this
balloting was done before the se
ries, in fact, before the American
League pennant was decided in
the final week of the season.
~ Leou Makes Case
Boudreau made a good case for
himself on the playing field.
1. He played the maost shortstop
of anybody in the league.
2. He led Cleveland to its first
flag and series victory since 1920.
3. He hit .355, second only to
Ted Williams, the champ.
4. He worked out the pickoff
play that created such a stir in
the series.
On a point basis, with 14 for
first, nine for second and on down
to one for 10th, Boudreau receiv
ed 324 to 213 for Joe DiMaggio.
Ted Williams, the batting king
with an unofficial .369, was third
with 17, Next came Vern (Junior)
Stephens, one of Williams’ Boston
Red Sox teammates, who polled
121 points to 101 for Cleveland’s
20-game winner Bob Lemon, the
only pitcher in the first five.
Joe Gordon At Sixth
Joe Gordon, Boudreau’s partner
in Cleveland’s fine double play
combinitaon, tied for sixth with
the Yanks’ Tommy Henrich who
had a great year, hitting .308 and
driving in 100 runs for the first
time in his major league career.
Each had 63 points.
Gene Bearden, a pitching hero
in Cleveland’s series success, was
eighth with 52. Then came Hal
Newhouser of Detroit, most valua

points to 39 for 10th place Eddie
Joost, the ‘'shortstop ‘sparkplug of

kicked off to Athens in the last
quarter after the Red Elephants
eighth touchdown John Marshall
got the ball on the 25 yard line
and carried to the 36. A pass from
Williams to Red Fulchér and a run
by Fulcher netted a first down.
Jimmy Thornton took one crack at
the line and Fulcher {wo with on
ly two yards being gained. Wil
liams punted, but Gainesville was
penalized 15 yards .for roughing
the kicker.
This gave Athens a first down
on the Gainesville 38 and a pass
from Williams to Marshall picked
up four yards and a run by Thorn
ton went for one yard. The Wil
liams to Marshall pass combina
tion clicked for 8 yards on the
next play for a first down and
Thornton went for six yards and
Williams made the next four for
a first down. .
Sligh Bucks Over
Williams again hit Marshell this
time for nine yards. Halfback Bil
ly Cook carried for one yard then
Jule Spears on an end around
went to the four where he fum
bled. Frank Fabris recovered on
the two and from there bucked
over for the touchdown and six
points. | 3
Pat Bowden, starting guard, in
jured his knee rather seriously in
the tilf, He blocked and tackled
hard before he injured his knee.
The nature of his injury probably
is a twisted knee or the knee was
knocked out of place. Four Ath
ens first string linemen were in
jured previous to the game. They
were “Monk” Collins, john Mar
shall, Jule Spears, and Herbie
Swartz; however Marshall - and
Spears started.
There were no other 4njuries on
either team during the game the
coaches said.
The top-notchers for the Tro
jans were Spears, Fulcher, Eber
hart; and Captain Thornton. Spears
hit hard all day both on offense
and defense. Fulcher was the hard
est runner on the ficld, Eberhart
played well on defense backing up
the line, and Thornton did some
nice bits of carrying the ball.
. “Worst Game”
Trojan Coach Reid Moseley said
“I think we played the worst game
we have played all year. Gaines
ville blocked and tackled hard and
we didn’t.” He said, “We had three
pretty¥: good ends in :Marshall,
Spears, and Weller.” Coach Mose-
