MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. 81
Razzle dazzle football paid off at
100 today as a daring team OF
Southerners whipped the heavier
Northern all-stars in the fourth an
nual Blue Gray game before 1851
spectators.
Jack Rabbit Jack Grain of Texas,
ailing all week with a heavy cold,
left illness in his locker and ran,
passed and kicked the Yankees into
fits. Little Junie Hovious of Mis-
sissippi and Bosh Pritchard of Vir-
ginia Military added an embroidery
of swift thrills.
Held in the first quarter. the fav-
ored Southerners grabbed an acci-
dent-insurance lead in the second
when North Carolina's Harry Dun
kle booted a field goal from the
Yankee II.
1t took just seven minutes and II
plays in the third period for the
South to punch across its flrs5
touchdown. Grain, running the
Yankee f1anks like a scared rabbit,
worked the ball from the North 80
to the 10 after a partly blocked punt
left the Yankees in hole.
Grain, Hovious Sparkle.
Twice Grain tried passes, and
twice they failed. Then Hovious
came in, whipped 7-yarder to Pres
ton Johnston of Southern Methodist,
bucked six over right tackle and
then passed again to Johnston Tor
the touchdown. Johnston's placeklck
went wide.
The Confederates h m m ere d
home the final touchdown in the
fourth period after George Fritts
of Clemson, Southern guard, recov-
cred Andy Tomasic's tumble on the
North 81. =,
Hovious and Grain took the ball
to the Yankee l8 in four plays. and
then Grain tipped l4-yarder to
the little Mississippian who took 1t
over his right shoulder and stepped
4 wards over the goal line. Grains
place kick was good
The raZZle dazzle promised by
Matty Bell of Southern Methodist
and his coaching colleagues, Frank
Howard of Clemson and Red Daw-
son of Tulane, produced 25 passes
by the Southerners. They COM
pleted five out Of 13 in the first
half, and 7 out of II in the second.
The North tried only one pass in
the first half. gaining 9 yards. Later
the Yankees opened up and pitched
10, completing four for IS yards.
South Evens Series.
Standouts in line play for the
Southerners were Fritts and Har-
old Jungmichael of Texas, while
Vance Banonis of Detroit and Al
Demao of Duquesne starred in the
North forward wall.
Tomasic of Temple, Jim Carrier
of Wesleyan Conn College and
Jackie Hunt of Marshall toted the
offensive load for the Yanks.
Today's victory for the South
erners evened the 4-year series at
two wins each for North and South.
