The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-30

 the breaks Saturday, and that tells the tale of the Red and Blacks' tri- umph. Throughout the first halt Auburn outplayed her foe, and then, after she had carried the battle to the Crackers, she weakened in the last quarter, and allowed the Stegeman- ites to win by one touchdown.
 Auburn had two chances to grab off a victory, but on each occasion she tell short by a hair.
 In the second quarter, a bad prank of fate robbed the Tigers of a touch down. Down under the shadows ot Georgia's goal, Shirling fumDled The pass from Caton was bad and this was responsible for the tumble. Right there Mixes clan lost the chance to put the game on ice. A touchdown there would have bolstered the Au burn morale and they could have Weathered bunting duel tor the re- mainder of the game, as Olllnger was getting great distance out of every one of his kicks. But the tumble came with a touchdown almost with in the Plainsmens grasp and this one bad break more than anything else robbed the Tiger of at least a tie.
 Georgia Gets the Breaks
 For three quarters the teams bat tied to a 0-0 draw. Much blood was spilled and many palpltating hearls increased thelr beatage as tho hectic battle continued. In the second half, when it looked like the only score would be through a booted ball, Moul- ton received the assignment to put the ball between the bars from the 23-yard line. It was comparative ly easy task, but his educated toe tIunkad m exams for once and that oval went wild
 This attempt at field goal, and the fumbled pass near GeorgIas goal, beat the Tiger. They simply didnt get the breaks and that tells the tale. They battled Georgia to a, standstin in the first half They carried rne ball into Georgia territory tor greater part or the time, and then m the last quarter they saw all their plucky work ot the earlier part ot the game gong tor naught.

 Big Crowd Sees Game
 Don't know what seetning cal dron is but Columbus has been one all day The asphalt was closseu with humans wearing Auburn and Georgia colors since sunrise lhis morning. As the day wore on the pouring in of humanity gathered momentum Every hotel in town sold out rooms, cots and pallets Fri aay night. But the night was warm and many unfortunates, who had not mad the presence of mind to wire or write for reservations, parked their tired bodies on the lawns or the parks and snored away to the ac- compartment of the falling dew Sat llrday morning the sereets were seething mass of humanity. The hotel lobbies were clogged with never ending stream of football fans one could not walk. The only pos sible way to negotiate the breadth and length of the lobbies was to lam into mass and allow it's force to push you along.
 Betting Scarce
 Auburn supporters came full Of en- thusiasm, but they left their money at home or clung to it looking tor odds and points. Probably less money was wagered on the outcome
 this classic struggle than any football game of such importance ever staged in the south. Georgia packers held out for even money, and the Auburn supporters never came across. They were obstinate in their quest for odds. Many of the Orange and Blue supporters went against their better judgment at the end of the first half after they had seen the way Auburn was outplaying the Georgians, and they lposened their purse strings, shelled out the bills and bet even money on Auburn to win.
 Then Comes the End
 Then in that last quarter came the heart tbreaking forward pass for a A5-yard gain followed by first down. and then Randall's plunge over Jeff end for the score that decided the game.
 I'm sitting in the office of the Co., lumbus Enquirer-Sun writing this story. They tellt me-experts who have estimated crowds at these an- nual games at Driving Park field that this is the largest crowd by far that ever witnessed the tilt. Fifteen thousand fans damned into the in- closure say those doing the esti. mating, and do not doubt their fig ! ures for moment. Tiers of seats circled the playing field, Every inch of seating space was taken up. Many tardy arrivals, finding no seats avail able. parked themselves on the turf and witnessed the battle from close range on the side lines Ii was a miniature "Boyle's Thirty Acres"
 Auburn supporters and the famous Auburn. band were assigned places in the east stands. The Red and Black xcrowd and it's band were over on the west The familiar Touch down Auburn Touchdown Auburn! Touchdown Auburn" rang out reson- antly, but the punch failed to arrive in accompanying it for the necessary score. The day was hot, more like a June afternoon than October weather. Rivulets of precipitation coursed the cheeks of the huskies.
 Probably the extreme heat was re- /sponsible for the leak in the Au burn defense at the crucial stage of the game. All their good work of the first three quarters went for naught when Randall found his opening and trekked through past Moulton for the heart breaking touchdown.
 Auburn has won many lucky foot ball games, and there are those who assert that Mike Donahue was born with . string of horseshoes around his neck. This equine bootery de- serted him Saturday. however, and Georgia got the breaks.
 No amount of argument would con- ,-iurA ra that the better team won
