c M.C. SHOWS GREAT DEFENSE
IN BEATING TEACHERS, 19-0
. BY PAVE JENKINS
A stubborn G. M. C. defense—
which is only characteristic of a Wal
lace Butts coached team—held
South Georgia Teachers’ College in
its clutches and the Cadets marched
to a 19-to-0 win here Friday after-
Tho Red Battalion
in its brilliant defensive play that
hi Id the grand running Jake Hines
and Durward Fulford and the
mainder of the Teachers’ backs in
check, meanwhile filling the air with
sufficient passes to place the ball in
scoring position twice and intercept
ing an opponent toss to make possible
another.
Milledgevillc's largest football
crowd of the season, including a
large number of the Teacher ; oters,
saw G. M. C. score early, but from
then on until late in the fourth per
iod witnessed a desperate but futile
attack to overcome this lead by a
plucky S. G outfit. A beautifully
executed forward, lateral play drove
deep into G. M. C’s. territory short
ly before the half closed, but line
plays and a pass were null and void.
Late in the game G. M. C. put vic
tory in the bag with two more touch
downs.
The Cadets scored first when two
passes put the ball on the 2-yard
line. A fumble lost 5. but when char-
lie Mauldin picked a hole between
his own right tackle and guard, ran
low and hard and scored standing
up. A long pass paved the pathway
to the second touchdown. It took
four smashes, but Mauldin rammed
into the mass and scored. A while
later Mauldin intercepted a Teach
ers’ pass on the enemy 30 and re
turned it to the 15. On the first play
inside the Teachers’ 10-yard mark.
When Mauldin intercepted one of
their passes their final doom was
written in the books.
Just reverse of what took place
last year, came to pass this season.
Statesboro beat Middle Georgia, beat
G. M. C. In turn, today’s victory
was an upset for G. M. C. Last year
O. M. C. beat Middle Georgia and
Middle Goorgia beat Statesboro, but
the Teachers defeated G. M. C.
J It was a clean, hard-fc .ght game
with the Teachers, who had beaten
Tampa University just recently
slated to win. Just the other day
three regulars were ruled out of ac
tion and Crook Smith faced the task
of sending reserves in these places,
any one of which was a vital spot,
against such a well-coached team as
Wallace Butts usually puts out. But
his boys played splendidly and made
it a great battle nearly all the way.
The Teachers showed a good strong
line that yielded very little yardage.
There were Middlebrooks and Gene
Davis at ends: George Cliett and
Quattlebaum at tackles; Marvin
Smith and J. D. Cherry, guards, and
Riggs at center.
The first Cadet touchdown was a
l-yard drive. Westbrook made 6 at
right tackle before Fulford nailed
him. and 5 at the other tackle for
first down on the 49. He made
t 1 as Middlebrooks and Ander-
i tackled, and G. M. C. was pena
lized 5. Westbrook took a pass from
Mauldin for a 17-yard gain and first
down on the Teachers’ 36. Lambright
threw Pittman on an end-around
3-yard loss. A triple pass lost
when Riggs broke it up,

brook escorted the pigskin for S,
ards on two plays, and Cook step- ,
obs made this place-kick for the only
successful extra point.
But there was hustle and fight
and spirited play to mark the battle
as a thrilling one. Only Durward
Fulford was able to gain yardage
to any large extent through the surg
ing red jerseyed forwards, and his
runs w’ere nothing of any serious
danger. From end to end the cadet
forward^ played stmdy. heads-up
football, hallhawking and outplaying
an incligible-riddloe team.
The Teachers showed the fans a
swell pass play. It was started as a
forward from Hines to Carlos Mid
dlebrooks on the scrimmage line.
While these two were working the
forward play. Fulford ran toward the
sidelines and took the ball laterally
from Middlebrooks. This play was
worked twice, once on the right side
of the line and again on the left, the
second connection leaving the oval
only six yards from G .M. C.’s goal
line.

pleted those two forwards, laterals,
for 19 and 15, to the Cadet II.
Georgia raced to the*G. M. C. 27,
but was held, with Fulford’s 15-
yard sprint the feature. Following
a punt to the G. M. C. 43 in the
fourth quarter, the Cadets started

made 4 at right guard, but was stop

then skipped right end for a first

and all Teachers’ drives.
Should there be an outstanding
player in the line it would be Rand
all Zittrour, at tackle, the Savannah
star of last year. His slashing, bril
liant tackle game stopped many
drives. But. he shares honors with
Big Bad Wolf, also a former Savan
nah star, at the other tackle: Titus
Oakes, the Atlanta boy, at center;
Red Pittman and Dub Jacobs, at
ends, and the two excellent guards,
Colombo Combes and Laurent.
The one shining Teachers’ light
was that ubiquitous Earl (Connie)
Riggs. This fellow made about 95
per cent of the tackles, in the great
cst individual defensive exhibition of
the game. Had he not been in there
the score might have been heavier.
