FIERCE ATTACK
On LINE BEAT
GEORGIA TEAM
Auburas Back Field Stars Pillow
Through Red and Black De-
Tense for Consistent Gains.
By Innis Brown.
(Feferee Auburn Georgia Game

Plainsmen won a well-earned victory
over the Red and Black team from
Athens Saturday afternoon, to T..
Should anyone inquire of you, khd
reader, just how the trick was turned,
you may well reply that she did so
by repeating the performance put up
against Tech, Vanderbilt and other
teams encountered during the present
season
Georgia got the jump by tearing into
the Auburnites. right off the reel Inc
latter received the kickoff. and after
making several short gains, Louiselle
punted to McWhorter. who made short
return. Good offensive work by Nc
Whorter, Paddock and Crump worked
the bali well down into Auburn terri
tory where Paddock hurled forward
pass to Logan, who galloped some ff-
teen yards across the Auburn line Tor
the second touchdown scored on Mona
hue5 men this season.
Auburn Kicks OF.
with a margin of seven points against
them, Auburn chose to kick off, pre-
ferring to take up further operations IN
Georgia territory They no doubt hg-
ured that the possibility Of tumble
on the part OF the Georgia team was
ccS.sideration. Georgia, however, han
died the ball clearly, but was unable
to gain consistently. They were eventu-
ally forced to punt and the ball left
to Auburn to handle on their own gu
ard line.
The Auburn team was unable to make
material gains during the short portion
of the first quarter remaining, and
Georgia had finished the first lap with
margin of seven points to her credit
However the second quarter Witnessed
the beginning of the famous line attack
so closely identified with Auburn foot
ball II was as though the Auburnttes
were taking up where they left off in
Birmingham last Saturday, or In the
game on Grant Field two weeks ago.
Red Harris stars.
Again Red Harris was called on to
wreck the Georgia defense, and a per-
usal of the running account of the
game will show that he proved to be
some wrecker. At times the Athenians
damned him back for little or no gain,
but what are you going to do with
bloke who when banged and man
handled keeps coming back for more?
The Georgians were battling vallantly,
spurred on by the margin which they
held at this point.
However the margin in Georgia's
favor likewise served to arouse Auburn
to greater efforts. With Harrie leading
the assault on an average of five times
out of six, the team from Alabama
gradually worked the ball down the
field. rarely making more than five or
six yards at clip The gains were
short. but with the heroic efforts of the
determined Harris and the able CO. oper-
alton OF the ten others, the Auburnites
were not to be denied. Harris ended the
triumphant march when he charged
three yards over the Georgia line for
touchdown.
In this attack, Auburn employed a
formation designated by her quarter
back as "a line divide" Some four
or five men in the rush line stationed
themselves fully 2 yards from the cen
ter With her three backs lined up in
tandem formation. they shot plays
straight over with the bullback; they
drove him outside Of tackle they ran
to the short side; and they sent the
f.vl,f
linemen and secondary defense were
striving valiantly to fathom this at
tack and to meet these PUSHES, but the
Auburnites appeared to outguess them.
Bldez Replaces Harris.
In the third quarter Auburn resumed
her vicious attack on the Georgia line.
Red Harris. who had done yeoman serv-
ice In this attack was retired in favor
of Bidez, the tenor fullback. Bidez
was stralnghtway called on to carry out
the role vacated by Harris at tearing
at the Georgia line. He ripped into the
Georgia line with success. although he
lacked the full effectiveness of the red
headed plunger who had preceded him.
This attack, however. proved too
much for Georgia. The Red and Black
would manage to jam Bidez back on
quarter would then try to dash past
tackle. mostly with Newell carrying the
bail. The Alabama captain was almost
always good for a short gain, and fire.

Newell in 3o-Yard Run.
| With only a few MINUTES left to play
! the Auburn quarter thought he saw an
opportunity TO send his captain past
Georgias right flank, His Judgment is
to be commended, for Newell raced 30
yards before being downed by Captain
McWhorter on the side line, after the
Georgia captain had close up from his
