MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 30
The South regained in measure to-
day prestige lost in the 1860s to
Yankee cannon and musket at
Gettysburg when a squad of picked
Dixie college stars routed Northern
football masters, 1920, in Mont
gomery's second blue-gray grjdiron
classic.
Both sides exhibited dazzling foot
ball, but the Yanks were no match
for the precisioned hocus-pocus at
tack Ray Morrison of Vanderbilt and
Josh Cody of Florida had taught
the Johnny Rebs.
Despite historical pageantry and
thousands who turned out for a
downtown parade, disappointing
crowd Of around 5000 saw the battle
at Cramton Bowl. Last year the
North won, TO.
With lightning forward passes,
fired by little Ken Heineman,
Texas Mines back, the Rebels jump
ed into the lead and were behind
only once, 7-6, at the end of the first
period.
From there out, the Southerners
held the upper-hand. although the
Northern boys pushed over late
fourth period touchdown, after
pass interception set it up.
Excel in All but Kicking.
In every department. except punt
ing, the Dixie stars excelled.
Heineman shot a 5-yard pass to
Jack Nix, Mississippi State speed
ster, the first time the South got
the ball, and Nix zig-zagged 40 for
a touchdown. Rotten Shelley,
plunging standout all day, missed
the extra point try.
The Blues struck next. Bill
Hutchinson, Dartmouth back and
continually Northern threat,
passed to Ted Crete, Northwestern
end, who latteraled to Vic Marino,
Ohio State guard. He pressed to
the Gray 6. From there Dom Prin-
cipe, Fordham fullback, went over
on his third plunge. John Rogalla.
Scranton back. kicked the extra
point and the North led for the first
and only time.
New teams were substituted at
the end of the first quarter, and on
the second play Young Bussey, L. S.
u, heaved a 30-yard pass to his
glue-fingered teammate, Ken
Kavanaugh, who ran the remaining
20 to the goal line. Ned Mcdonald,
Texas end, kicked the extra point.
Bill Schneider, Mississippi block
ing back, grabbed "a Blue pass and
sprinted SIS yards for the third Rebel
score. McDonald's kick again was
good and the South led, POT.
Northerners' Spirit Flames.
Spirit flaming, the Northerners
took the next kickoff and didn't
turn loose the ball until Wilmer
Baker, Cornell ace, passed IS to
Bill Tranavitch. Rutgers. and he
dragged two Rebels across for
touchdown. Lou Zontini, Notre
Dame, booted the extra point.
Nix took shovel pass from
Shelley and dashed 26 to the goal
for another Dixie marker. Heine-
man missed the try.
In one of the prettiest plays of
the day, Heineman drifted far back
and shot one % yards over the goal
line to Kavanaugh, who grabbed it
on the dead run. Heineman's kick
was good and the South was ahead,
1914.
Zontini set up the final North
score. intercepting a Heineman pass
and losing "a yards up the sidelines
to the Gray 3.
Baker plunged across on second
down. Zontini missed the try for
extra point.
