Scoring Three Touchdowns, on Slow Field. THANKSGIVING CROWD IS SMALLEST IN YEARS Only 1.500 Fans Brave Enough to Forego Chilly Winds and Snow. i’ONCE DE LEON PARK. Nov. 28. Tech closed her season this afternoon by defeating her ancient rival, Clem son, by three touchdowns and two goals, a total score of 20 to 0. The game was in Tech's hands all the way, and though the Tigers put up a valiant defense at times, they never had a look in. It was Tech’s team work and hard bucking that won the game. And it was straight football, too. Hardly a trick play made good, and only .once did a forward pass gain material ground. Even Inis one wefit out of bounds. Perhaps l.auo enthusiastic fans, the smallest Thanksgiving crowd in years, braved the snow and chilly winds to sec the game. The stands were half filled with drifted snow and the atmos phere was far too chilly for comfort. The field had been scraped clean of snow, but it was slushy in spot and frozen in others, and the going was hard. Tech's backs put up a brilliant game, and the forwards held their own man fully. Again and again the Jackets bucked the Tiger line for gaifis straight through, and seldom was the ball lost on downs. Every now and then Clem son rallied and held bravely, but their gains were few and their progress never lasting. The ball was in the Tiger territory nearly always, and car ried straight down the field for touch downs. Two of the scores were made by sheer hard fighting after winning within a few yards of .the goal, the Jackets putting the ball over by hard and vicious plunging through center and tackle. FIRST PERIOD. Clemson won the toss and chose to defend the west goal. Tech kicked off and Montague, of Tech, caught the ball and carried It 14 yards. McDonald went 5 yards around right end for the Yellow Jackets. Cook took 5 more around the right end. Thomason made 5 yards through right tackle. Fielder failed to gain around left end. Cook made 5 on a right shift. On two line plays Tech failed to gain and McDonald's toe was called Into play. He punted for a gain. Clemson got the ball on its 15-yard line and by a series of line plays car ried it for 20 yards. Webb bucked the line for 8 yards, but Clemson was pen alized 15 yards for "hiking.” Webb punted 35 yards and Moore re turned it 10 yards. With the ball In Tech's possession on Clemson's 40-yard line a series of end runs, gaining from 6 to 10 yards each, carried the ball across the goal line for Tech’s first touchdown of the game. Fielder took the pigskin across. The punt-out failed. SCORE —TECH 6, CLEM SON 0. McDonald kicked off to Clemson's 10- yard line. Kangeter returned the pig skin 25 yards. Webb, James and Kan geter then made first down on three line bucks. Then Tech rallied and held for downs. She had won the ball by her strong defense in the line. McDonald took 8 yards around left end. Thomason hit right guard for a gain of 5 yards. The quarter ended with the ball in Tech’s possession on Clemson’s 40-yard line. SCORE — TECH 6, CLEMSON 0.
