MANY LONG RUNS
IN DIXIE CONTESTS
Thirteen Gridders Travel
Far to Score TouchdoWns
in Saturdays Frays.
BY HORACE C. RENAGAR,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ATLANTA, Ga, october 80 P).-
Thirteen foot ball heroes fitted across
the Southern Conference horizon last
Saturday in long jaunts to touchdowns
to bring a day of thrills for fans in all
sections of Dixie.
These big hit-and-run men of the
gridiron stamped off some 802 yards to
make the afternoon one of the diZziest
Of the season, in so far as running at
tacks are concerned.
Goodbread, substitute Florida half
back Hackman, Tennessee sophomore
halfback, and Armistead, Vanderbilt
captain, were the leading three of this
set of gallopers.
Goodbread slipped around end for 70
yards behind perfect interference once
and came back little later for IA
yard return Of Warren's punt.
Hackman romped Washington and
Lees kickoff back 81 yards for the
longest run of the day, while Arrnistead
went 81 yards for one touchdown and
ran a Virginia kickoff back 81 yards
for another.
Eight Other ThriIlers.
Seven other scampering dervishes
added the other eight thrillers, Camp
DCll VI AIdUduld IdhlIlS d. zo-ydIQ pass
and going 35 more, Smith of the Grim
son Tide also running SIS yards across
the Suwanee goal line, Fitzgerald of
Georgia Tech sidewheeling 81 yards
through North Carolina, Jones, Golden
Tornado end, taking 15-yard pass and
running 35 more across the last en-
trenchment of the Blue and White;
McIver, Tennessee's other sophomore
flash, slipping SIS yards; Ingram of Au-
burn romping 81 yards against How
ard, and McIlwaine, Commodore star,
turning in one, for SO yards.
While these behelmeted warriors led
the parade, a'flock of others cashed in
with runs of the same sensational class,
although most of them were caught
short of the goal.
Outside of the conference the boys
were having a big day, too. Bucky
Moore, the Dixie Flyer, who makes long
runs for Loyola of New Orleans, chip
ped in with 98-yard exhibition of
gains against the University Of Missis-
sippi. 1t was the longest straightaway
of the season in the South, with the
exception of Mowers run of equal dis
tance recently against Alabama.
Van Buskirk of Howard College also
raced rs yards to touchdown against
Auburn.

SHUNS OWN GLORY
TO HELP HIS TEAM
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, october 30-A story of
how the country's leading college foot
ball scorer passed up chance to boost
his own total SO a teammate could
make a touchdown is told by his coach,
Chick Mechan. Ken Strong, New York
University's great halfback. is the hero.
I'm the Colgate game" said Meehan,
"just before we made our first touch
down we were penalized five yards for
taking too long in a huddle. Do you
know what was going on in that hud-
die?
Here was this young fellow Strong,
the leading scorer, to whom every
touchdown probably means a chance
for greater fame, arguing that Follet
should take the ball instead of him
self He thought it was the best play
for Follet to go through the right side
of center"
Follet did take the ball, but was
stopped after short gain, and it was
Strong who made the touchdown,
sweeping around the Colgate right end.
Strong is %, weighs just less than
100 pounds, is an inch more than
feet tall and is studying business in
New York University's downtown
school.
He was quick to disclaim any credit
for a story-book hero stunt. He wanted
Follet to take the ball because he
thought it was the better play, he re-
iterated
"We've got fine line and great inter-
ference. That's what makes these
touchdowns possible" he added.

OF the injuries, it is feared that Of
