Nineteen thousand fans saw the de-

quarters.
The victory owe their traditional

Furman electrified the crowd with
a 71-yard touchdown thrust ir the
opening period and by adding the
extra point the Hurricane led 7-6
after the Tigers marched Is yards
into pay dirt in the next period. The
Tigers try for point failed.
From then on, a tight Furman de-

Chippy Names, who played well
throughout, faded from his At and

Into Complete Submission
At Knoxville
nv ROMNEY

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. %
LR-A great Tennessee footoall
team all but nailed down the lid on
p nost-season bowl invitation today,
beating a courageous Kentucky out
fit 33-O. before a homecoming crowd
of $4,000.
Playing their last game OF the
season on Shields Watkins field, the
Volunteers ran, passed and punted
Kentucky into complete submission
after leading by a scant seven points
at half-time.
Three By Air
A couple of Major Bob Neyland's
second-string stars-little Haltback
Johnny Butler and End Mike Ballt-
saris teamed to score two of len
nessee's touchdowns by air; another
substitute halfback, Buist Warren,
flipped a third touchdown pass to
End Jim Coleman, and the other
two came via the ground.
It was a Tennessee team thai
wouldn't be stopped, and although
Kentucky outgained the Vols In
rushing, and in first downs, the big
Orange team had what it took to
clamp down an alright defense
when the Wildcats hit pay dirt ter
ritory.
The statisticians gave kentucky
- first downs to Tennessee's Z and
1877 yards gained on the ground to
100 for the Vols.
Only Vanderbilt remains between
the Vols and a third straight I'M
beaten, united season.
A blocked Kentucky punt early in
the second period, when Balitsarls
slashed through to bat Ermal AL
lens try, set up Tennessee's first
touchdown. Two line bucks and a
15.yard Kentucky penalty for rough
ness took the ball from the 80 to
the 10. There Butler whipped an
overhead to B%alitsaris in the end
zone. Fred Newman's placekick was
good.
Warren set up the second tally in
the third period when he snatched
Aliens kick out on his own 40 and
loped 40 yards up the sideline to
Kentucky's 20. A line plunge and
a pass gave Tennessee a first down
on the Wildcats nine. Three plays
later the little halfback tipped the
ball to Coleman for the touchdown.
Foxx converted.
Fighting stubbornly, Kentucky
held out until the fourth quarter
and then caved completely. Taking
the ball on Kentucky's SO, Butler
Bob Andridge and Newman worked
to the one-foot mark on five bucks,
and Andridge piled over guard TO
score. Buffers try for a pass was
wide.

Cornell Passes Game
Away To Penn 22-2O

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 23.-B-
A cocky Cornell football team threw
two ill-starred forward passes this
afternoon and with them tossed away
its claim to the Ivy league cham
pionship.
At the time the passes were
thrown, the Ithacans were leading
Penn by 1870, but as darkness blank
eted Franklin field and the final
whistle blew, Penn was the winner
by 22-20 in a thriller the equal of
any these ancient gridiron rivals
ever have staged.
1t was a grand triumph for Penn
beaten only by Michigan this year
and a grand finale for the Red and
Blues fine heavy duty back, Francis
Aavier Reagan, performing before a
capacity crowd Of 1895, Reagan
scored all htree touchdowns, held the
ball for Gene Davis, field goal and
extra point, and set a new Pennsv1-
vanla one year scoring record of 1O2
points.
Though the margin was close
Penn amply deserved to win and Cor.
nell just as definitely deserved to
lose. The Ithacans went 80 wards
and 20 yards to two quick touch
downs before the first quarter was
more than half over, but then sud-
denly had a rush of over-confidence
to the head.

HARMON FINISHES
COL0RFUL CAREER
CAPS Climax With Spectacular
Play As Michigan De-
feats Ohio 400
RY FRITZ HOWELL

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 23.-R-
The glory that was RED
Oranges shifted to the stalWart
shoulders of Michigan's mighty
Tom Harmon today as the Gary
Ghost ground Ohio's Buckeyes to
a 400 defeat-their worst wallop-
ing in IS years of football
fare.
A crowd of 73,648 r~ain-drenched
fans gazed through a murky haze
as the All-America halfback scored
three touchdowns, tossed passes
for two others, and kicked for
placement for extra points to wind
up the most brilliant scoring ca
reer in Western conference annals.
Tops Grange
The scoring record of 81 touch
downs held By IllIois' immortal
Harold Red" Grange for the last
IS years went into the runnerup
spot as Harmon. with the shiftiest
running the Buckeye stadium has
ever witnessed, boosted his three
year touchdown total to SO.
On top of that, the Michigan
maestro has booted 80 goals after
touchdown, and a pair of field
goals for a 24-game total of 237
points. Grange, who did not do
much booting during his spectacu-
lar career, had only the 1856 points
he counted in touchdowns, but the
Illinois star of yester-year did it
in 20 games.
Harmon, unhampered by the
slippery turf, also turned in some
nifty blocking and when he left
the game after his final touchdown
with only SO seconds to play-the
crowd gave him one of the great
est ovations ever rendered in Ohio
stadium.
The Wolves were superb today,
while Ohio never had a chance.
Michigan marched 80, 81, II, 101,
So and So yards for its touchdowns,
gaining almost at will through the
line, around the ends or through
the air. In addition, Harmon piled
up a 50-yard average in punting
three times, to keep the Bucks
deep in their own territory. 4

of 24-17. Both games we're hard
fought and somewhat rough, 26
fouls being called in the second
fray.
Covenant took an early lead in
the opener and vas never headed,
although the Baptists put up a
stout defense. The winners ability
to find the basket stood them in
good stead and gave them a de-
cided edge as the losers missed a
great many of their easy shots.
The follow-up work of Watts and
Nisbet was also an important fac
tor in the one-sided score. The for
mer took scoring honors with q
points.
The second game was close all
the way, the Hi-Y taking the lead
during the opening half but fading
out in the finale. RULERS three
goals in the final quarter, after
going scoreless for three periods,
gave the Presbyterians a big lift
and a safe margin as the seconds
a out. High scorer of the game
was Mathis, who tailed 10 points

HUGE FISH FOUND
TO Be BLACK BASS
Capt. Damon's Catch Held Not
Eligible For Hutaff Prize
For Channel Bass

Friday Capt. D. j. Damon, a men,
her of the New Hanover Fishing
club, caught a 81 IL lb. fish while
fishing at Kure's pier and for a
while there were visions of his cap
turing the 800 prize offered by
George Hutaff for any member Of
the club who can, in Zone A or B
better his 1885 record of a 81 pound
channel bass.
But alas it turns out the fish
is a black bass and not a channel
bass, and the fishing club. officials
hold the captain is not entitled to
the 100 bucks.
Last night the contest committee
| of the fishing club issued the fol
lowing statement:
1--WE, the members of the contest
committee of the New Hanover Fish
ing club, have on this date carefully
examined the drum caught by D. ].
Damon at Kure's pier on November
22nd, weight registered as Sd pounds
eight ounces.
1--WE, the duly authorized commit
tee, find that the drum in question
is what is generally known locally
| and throughout the Atlantic Coast
as a Black Drum, scientific name
Pogonias cromis, as fully described
in Volume Two "The Fishes of North
Carolina" on page 325, said book
being published by the North Caro-
lima Geological and Economic Sur
vey.
"This fish can be readily distin'
guished from the Red Drum or Chan
mel Bass, scientific nam Scioenops
| ocellatus, as described on page 30
of the same book, by the following
decided differences:
81. The Black Drum is much
darker in color.
"2. The Black Drum has a heav-
Ter, chunkier body.
20. The Black Drum has numer-
Gus short barbles or whiskers Under
the lower jaw.
a. The Black Drum does not
have the characteristic black spot
found near the tail of the Red Drum
which spot is found either singly
or in multiple.
"5. The Pectoral fins of the Black
Drum are long and pointed while
those of the Red Drum are shorter
and more rounded.
&c. The Black Drum has a dull
dirty appearance while the Red
Drum has more of a FURNISHED look.
dependent on the above find
ings, the contest committee rules
that the entry of Mr.. Damon is not
eligible for any of channel bass
or red drum prizes offered by the
New Hanover Fishing club Or the
prize offered by MI. George Hutaff
or any of the other channel bass
prizes to be awarded by others as
determined under the rules and juris-
diction Of the club. The entry how
ever is eligible for the prizes offered
by the club and others for catches
of black drum or largest fish caught,
regardless of kind.
I'm conclusion the committee
wishes to extend to Mr.. Damon our
hearty congratulations for this re.
markable catch and deeply regrets
