GEORGIA TECH MEN
RALLY TO R|EGELS
Easily See How California
Player Lost His Sense
of Direction.
BY the Associated Press.

SAN DIEGO, Calf, January s.
Coach Bill Alexander of Georgia Tech,
who prepared today to lead the victori-
Gus Golden Tornado back to Atlanta
after two days of sightseeing following
Techs victory over California, at Pasa-
dena, has rallied to the defense Of Roy
Riegles, California center, whose Is
yard run in the wrong direction gave
Tech safety and the margin for an
81 victory.
Coach Alexander said Riegel's mis-
play might have been pulled by any
other player under similar circum-
stances. He believed the similarity of
scenery at each end of the Rose Bowl
fusion and suggested that 1t might be
well to mark each goal during game
with distinguishing flag which could
be reversed each quarter as the teams
changed goals
Father" Lumpkin, star fullback for
the SouthernerS, also had a word of
sympathy for Riegels. He said the Cali
fornia center was spun around couple
of times on the play and consequently
lost all sense of direction.
The coach said the California line
was the strongest encountered by his
team this year, but he believed that
the contest on the whole was no harder
fought than the regular season tilt
with Notre Dame.

PASADENA, Calf, January 3.-Loss
of his sense of direction was the factor
responsible for the run of Capt. -elect
Roy Riegels toward his own goal posts
in the Tournament of Roses classic
here Tuesday between University of
California and Georgia Tech, the
Golden Bear center explained today.
Riegels denied that he had been hurt
and unconscious OF what he was doing.
II was running toward the side
lines and when picked up the ball
started to turn to my left toward
Techs goal" he said Somebody
showed me and I bounced off into
a tough tackler. In pivoting to get
away from him completely lost my
bearings.
II wasn't out of my head at all and
I hadn't been hurt. I think showed
that when I came back in the second
half and played through"
RiegelS displayed q splendid brand of
football in the second half and blocked
a Tech punt on one occasion.
Coach "Nibs" Price of the California
team had nothing but praise for his
center.
II was amazed when I saw Riegels
running in the wrong direction" he
said, but I'm not blaming the boy,
nor do want his future hurt by the
play. 1t might have happened to
any OF us. Riegels Is the smartest
boy on the squad.
II yanked him Immediately after the
fatal run because / thought he was
hurt. He came to the bench and was
terribly detected, saying he believed this
would ruin his life.
II told him nonsense 7 iook for
him to be the outstanding player Of
the Pacific Coast next season. He
played marvelously during the second
half"

CHICAGO, January 3.-Gaining mo-
mentum with each contest, Michigan's
big Maize and Blue machine today
ranked as a dangerous threat to other
aspirants for the Big Ten basket ball
championship.
Defeated by Michigan State, 81 to
81, in the opening game OF their season,
the Wolverines have come back with
a rush, defeating two strong Eastern
teams in two consecutive nights. Tues
day night they trounced Penn State,
80 to IL; last night they routed Cor
nell's big team, IS to 49,. 1t was their
third straight victory.
With big Joe" Truskowsh looping
the basket for 20 points, the Wolverines
flashed their best form of the season
and appeared ready for their cham
pionship chase, which starts Saturday
night against Northwestern.
Another invasion of Big Ten cage
ranks was repelled last night. when
Ohio States defeated team sank North
Carolina, 43 to 80, at Columbus.
Chicago came through to defeat
Beloit College of Wisconsin, 20 to 16,
but its play was loose and the MaroonS
appeared far from ready. Both teams
tried to score from all angles and from
all sections of the floor, and their team
work was ragged.
Iowa's hopes of a victorious start in
the championship race against Ohio
State have been dimmed by the prob
able loss of two guards, Virgil David
and Fred Geneva, both Ill with Alflll-
enza. Forrest Twogood, senior forward,
also has been out of uniform for two
weeks and may not get into the game.
