film REVEALS
GRID MERKLE

Los ANGELES, Calf, Jan. B.
Following the release OF the Inter
national.M-GM Newsrell motion
picture OF the famous forward
backward run of Roy Riegels in
the California Georgia Tech football
game at Pasadena on New Years
Day. his astounding performance
was again in the spotlight today.
The picture shows that the long
sprint to his own goal line was
chiefly his own idea. however
faulty. After picking up the ball
fumbled by Thomason, Riegels
started for the Georgia Tech goal.
While his teammates were
blocking, Riegels suddenly
whirled around and started In
the wrong direction, the pic
ture diselOses. No one was
near enough to touch him.
After scampering away from the
Georgia Tech 3O-yard line. Riegeis
ran by himself for 30 or 25 Yards
Benny Lom started tiiagonally
across the field and cut him down.
Lom overlook him at the 11-yard
line and grabbed him by the belt.
Riegels shook him off and Lam
came on again to grab him on
the one-yard line. Both rolled over
the goal. They managed to scram.
bic back just as they were struck
by an avalanche OF Georgia Tech
players.
And that was the end OF
that run as far as the run
itself is concerned. But IL will
be many a day before the last
Of it is heard.
Despite this bizarre performance,
Riegels, the California center,
played perhaps the best game Of
his career against the Georgia
team, il that backward run can
be thrown out. He easily held his
own with Pund, his opponent, who
is listed as an alI.Annerican
