Auburn Freshmen
Beat Tech "Rats"
In a Hard Battle

Auburn. November 1e.--(special. y
The Auburn freshmen met and de-
feated the Georgia Tech freshmen, Z
to 0, In one of the hardest fought
football games witnessed on Drake
field this season. After a heavy
downpour of rain that fell all morn
ing, the field was somewhat slow,
but neither team showed any slack
ening from the muddy field. The
game was full of spectacular plays
from beginning to end, and the game
had not progressed far until the spec
tators found that. though both teams
were made up of freshmen, they were
being treated to a real -enough
man. sized game, with all the brilliant
passes, spectacular runs, line bucking
and hard tackling that might have
been seen In the big games with vet
Grams playing.
The lone touchdown OF the game
came in the first play of the second
quarter. Auburn got the ball on her
own 70yard line, Allen made 20
around right end, followed by C. Pc
terson, with off tackle. On the
next play, pass. Dean Peterson to
Allen for IS yards, one of the pref
TEST passes OF the game, was COM
pleted. C. Peterson then made s over
the line, after which D. Peterson lost
8, as the quarter ended. At the be-
ginning of the second quarter, D. Pc
terson got back for what looked like
dropkick, and passed the ball to
Allen for a touchdown. Auburn then
kicked to Tech, who worked the bali
down to Auburn's 9-yard line, where
the Auburn Freshies held them for
downs. In addition to several passes
completed for each team, two are
outstanding. one coming just before
Auburn's touchdown, d. Peterson to
Allen for 35 yards, and the other in
the second half. when McWhorter,
for the Tech freshmen completed
pass for 4 yards to Harris,
Dean Peterson and Capt. Ed Allen
were the shining lights in the Auburn
backfield, while Argo and c. Peter
son did good work on both the often
sive and defensive. Dean Peterson,
playing quarter, ran the Auburn team
in great style, while his end runs and
forward passing were nothing short
of spectacular. Allen, who played
safety on the defense. thrilled the
spectators by his hard tackling and
sweeping end runs
In the line, Hawkins at guard and
Thompson at center displayed a shade
better game, while Banks and Ollin-
ger at ends were in every play COM
ing their way. Strange, at end, played
good defensive end.
For Tech. the whole line played a
first-class game, and in the back
field McWhorter did the passing and
kicking in good shape. Harris. Davis
and Goodwin all proved to be consis-
tent ground gamers when called on
to carry the ball. Lineup.
