THREE DIXIE ELEVENS
IN UNDEFEATED CLASS

ATLANTA, Ca. November 1.-THE
past week brought many changes in the
ranking of southern foot ball teams:
Four teams lost their first contest OF
the season to another southern eleven:
Sewanee was scored upon for the first
time this year and Centre, 5y its bril-
liant victory over Auburn, went into
second place among the south's best
scoring machines, whose leader is
Georgia Tech. Tennessee's 21-to.0 de-
with its record of only one touchdown
by an opponent all season. in the lead
ership in defensive play. Vanderbilt
comes second with IA points scored
against it to 6 for Centres opponents.
against them by another Dixie eleven
now number but half dozen-Centre,
Georgia, Georgia Tech, Louisiana State,
Vanderbilt and Washington and Lee.
Three have lost at. least one game to
an opponent from another section. but
Centre. Louisiana State and Vanderbilt
have not been beaten.
Georgia Tech. by its third consecu-
tive victory in as many years over
Georgetown. swept the Hilltopers from
the list Of undefeated; Tennessee. which
had previously bowed to Vanderbilt
eliminated Sewanee; Furman. twice
beaten this year. blasted South Caro-
lina's hopes and Virginia Polytechnic
Institute eliminated North Carolina
State.
The Furman-South Carolina game
gave the former right to claim the
South Carolina championship. as neither
had previously lost to another Palmetto
team.
Vanderbilt. which vies with Florida
iE showing the greatest improvement
over last season. maintaine its place
among the undefeated by holding the
Georgia eleven to a tie.
Florida's victory over Alabama was
an upset. Virginia performed a nuta-
BILE feat by holding West Virginia to a
single touchdown.

The Georgia Tech shift came in for
severe criticism by both OReilly and
Exendine. The former says that he
cannot see how the Tech eleven gets
away with it and that as it was run
against Georgetown it was illegal prac-
tically every time it was tried. which
means, from the Georgetown view that
almost every play run by Georgia Iech
was illegal as the Atlanta school uses
the shift exclusively for its close for-
nation work.
CIalm Line Was I'm Motion.
The Georgia Tech line was in motion
every time the ball was passed, ac-
cording to the Georgetown mentors, ana
many times the backfieid also. That this
impetus, gained from such start, plac-
ed the Blue and Gray forwards at a
distinct disadvantage, and gave Georgia
Tech the margin by which it won, is
the opinion of both Georgetown men.
Coach EXendine contributes a rather
ella aborate explanation in his comment on
the Georgia Tech plays. Says Exie:
Under stand me when / say that l
have no feeling toward Georgia Ieca
other than one of appreciation OF tier
courteous treatment OF US, but l 90
think that the rules either should leg
alize the shift play used by it or the
officials should enforce the rules and
keep the shift within its legal bounds.
No team in the country could beat
Georgia Tech if il were allowed to use
the shift play as it was used in our
game. Those men were never on lhe
line of scrmmage as the line of scrlm-
mage is defined in the rules. and they
nearly always were in motion when the
ball was passed.
. Assert Shift Is Illegal.
IF the shift as used by Georgia
Tech were legal. l certainly would
use it at Georgetown. The present
Georgetown eleven. using that shift,
could whip any foot ball team in the
east or west. However. l have al
ways thought it wrong policy to try
to get away with illegal formations
man must have both feet. both
hands. or one foot and the opposite
hand within one foot of the line of
scrimmage. and, under the conditions
of the Georgia Tech shift, it was i'm
possible for the Georgia Tech line
to conform to any one of these posi-
tions. Personally, j am far from
favorable to the present rule defn-
ing the line of scrimmage. as l do
not think it gives man an oppor-
tunity to set himself in good
charging position, but as long as the
rule is what it is. we should ike up
10 it.
Another thing, we were warned by
a Penn State man about the illegal
triple pass used by Georgia Tech.
We were on the lookout for the play
and l Know the play is illegal. 1t
