of the first quarter, but there the
Huskers' only threat ended. Pitt
took command at that point and

The Panthers opened the contest
by jogging down the field AZ yards
in 10 plays, but Nebraska took over
on its 44-yard line and soon after

The advance was high lighted by q
22-yard pass reception and run by
Halfback Herman Rohrig, who took

halfback, with little interference,
zig-zagged across the field before

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. H.
Tennessee, which fondly has
dreamed of Southeastern Confer
ence football championship, rallied
from a nightmare today in a thrill
packed fourth period to land q A.
too victory over a stubborn VAN
derbilt team.
Throttled for some IS minutes
and not out in front at the inter-
mission for the first time this sea-
son, the Volunteers struck with two
powerful drives in the closing quar-
ter to register their eighth straight
victory.
Vanderbilt's Commodores, with all
their trickery and cunning, could
not muster enough magic to offer
more than one serious scoring threat
against the hard-charging Volun-
teer line. in which Bob Suffridge, q
husky guard. stood out.
Walter Babe) Wood was the
spark of Tennessee's victorious
stand, scoring both touchdowns
after directing drives that netted the
scores on marches of 46 and So
yards. Capt. Bowden Wyatt, who
was a major factor extensively and
defensively, made placements for
the two extra points.
The bounding Wood, rushed into
the lineup to replace the Tennessee
ace, George Dad News Cafego, ran

drives and was at the spearhead

Carnegie Keeps Up

Duquesne, 21-0
BY the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12.-The best
Carnegie Tech football team in
years kept step right up front in
the national football parade today
by roundly humping their city
rivals, Duquesne, with three per-
fectly pitched touchdown "strikesr
for 21-0 victory. A crowd Of 81
600 saw the game.
Carnegie threw only five passes
and three went for touchdowns.
Frank Jordano, 165-pound sopho-
more halfback from Cumberland,
Md, who did not play in the Tar
tan's 2O-10 conquest of Pitt last
week, threw two of the scoring
passes.
Carnegie Tailed in the last three
periods. The first touchdown
evolved from a reverse, Tony La
poski to Jordano. Jordano faded
from Duquesne's 19-yard line to the
IS and looped the ball to End Karl
Striegel, who was camped across
the goal line unaccompanied.
The second tally also was the
result of a long toss, Jordano to
Manuel Zawacki, reserve halfback,
from Duquesne's 30.
Zawacki slipped around Mitch
Barron, Duquesne safety man, be-
hind the goal to make the catch.
The Tartans' final tally climaxed

NORMAN, Okla, Nov. IL. - The
Oklahoma Sooners engineered three
touchdown drives against Missouri
today to run their victory string to
II in row with a 21-to-0 verdict
that carried them within one notch
of their first Big Six Conference title.
A homecoming day crowd OF 49,
600 watched the Sooners ground the
touted Missouri aerial attack and
roll into the conference Lead as un-
beaten Iowa State stubbed its toe
in a 1913 deadlock with Kansas
State.
The Sooners, who haven't been
scored on in four conference battles,
now stand as the only unbeaten and
united club in the loop.
Christman Is Stopped.
The Sooners had power to burn
in the first half as they ripped the
Tiger defense to shreds and sped to
their first touchdown in the first Is
plays after the opening kickoff. A
march that started at their own az
yard line in the first period contin-
ued on into the second quarter and
brought touchdown after 20 plays.
The last march, in the final period,
carried 80 yards and required only
II Attempts.
Paul Christman, Missouri's sopho-
more passing ace, had too many
Sooners in his backfield all after
noon and completed only 5 Of the Is
passes he tried.

After Trailing by 9

Scoring Marches
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Navy
played a waiting game today and
proved to its own satisfaction that
many things do come to those who
wait, including in this instance q
heart-stirring 14-to-9 victory over
Columbia.
The Lions roared loud and enec-
lively at the start as Sid Luckman
treated Baker fields capacity Of 34,-
600 fans to an artistic passing and
running display and Bill Stickel
booted a field goal from 18 yards
out to take a 9 point lead before
two minutes of the second period
had passed.
The Lions still roared loud but
never successfully after that.
Navy Cuts Loose
Navy, which had been content to
punt on first and second down in the
first period, which had disdained to
receive after Columbia's first touch
down, and which hadn't made q
first down up until the Light Blue
completed its scoring, brought Its
broadside into action with devas-
tating results in the second and
third chapters.
The Midshipmen sailed rs yards
on nine plays with Lem Cooke
passing to Lucien Powell for their
FIRST touchdown in the second and
67 yards In IL plays for their third
neriod score. Emmett CPunkin)
Wood was sent crashing one yard
through center for this touch
down and 1t was he who place
kicked both extra points.
These were the only serious ma
neuvers the Middies attempted.
Having taken the lead midway in the
third stanza, they dropped con-
tentedly back on the defense and
let the Lions wear themselves out.
Luckman There Three Ways.
It was these tactics which prin-
cipally accounted for Columbia's
margin Of 18 first downs to eight,
because there was no such dispar-
ity in the other statistics. The
Lions covered 173 yards by rushing
to Nays 124 and led in yardage
from passes by a scant Is YARDS,
1l6 to 81, although they tried % to
Nays II.
Luckman, returning to the Lions
lineup after a weeks rest, not only
ran for the Columbia touchdown
and personally accounted for most
of Columbias yardage, but helped
keep the Navy in dry-dock with
some magnificent punting.
Cooke and Wood stood out like
. ships masts in both OF Navys
cruises-no one else handling the
ball except when they passed.

Southerners Ring Up

Last-Period Draw
St. John Sprints rs
Yords to Wind Up
Come With Thrill
BY SID FEDER,


WEST POINT, N. Y, Nov. a.
Army's football mules, some IS Of
them, galloped to . 34-to-13 victory
over . scrappy but outmanned Chat
tanoosa squad today before = crowd
Of $4,000 In Niche Stadium.
Only in the flnal minute Of the
second quarter, when they passed to
the Cadet 4-yard line, and through
out the fourth period, when they
fought Army on even terms to score
both their touchdowns, were the
Moccasin able to match the stream
Of man power the West Pointers
tossed into the ball game.
For Army, the clash was largely a
breather. Few Of the varsity saw
action for more than q quarter. The
Cadets clicked for . pair Of touch
downs In the first period, one more
in the third, and their final brace of
6-pointers in the last quarter.
Southerners Produce Thrill.
It remained, however, for the
Southern lads, outweighed and over
powered, to wind up the afternoon
with the ball games No. l thrill.
This came with three minutes to go
in the final quarter, when Wilber st.
John cut through his left tackle on
the Moccasin "a and outsprinted the
entire Army team for a 76-yard
touchdown run on the right corner.
The other Chattanooga score had
come Just few minutes earlier, with
Frank Orend, a 19-year-old sopho-
more and Chattanooga's outstanding
performer, passing three times, start
ing from his own 80, to the touch
down. Billy OBrien was the re-
ceiver on the point-producing play.
BY that time, however, the en-
gagement was over, so far as the out
come was concerned. In the first Pc
Rod, Charley Long had passed to
Woodrow Wilson for 70-yard
touchdown play, and Wilson had
cracked the middle for another score
to climax a 56-yard drive. In the
third period, Bill Mullin skirted right
end for 10 yards after q 59-yard
march for what proved the winning
touchdown.
Last Quarter Is Anti Climax.
The free-scoring fourth period,
therefore. was an anti-climax. Army
started 1t by scoring In eight plays
from the Maccasin n, with Ken Due
powering through the middle for the
tally from the /. The Southerners
came back with their first marker.
