little thought, as he is new and
without a coaching reputation.
But some of them are real stick
ers. It's dollars TO pebbles the av-

rated by many as the best in the
country.
The current situation rather in

there were lot of sleepers among
the unsung guys who much to their
surprise suddenly found themselves
hoisted to the top slot and got a
chance to display their hidden tai
ents.
We lean a little toward the ma
terial angle, as there are many
long established coaches still on
the job whose teams aren't doing
quite as well as they did in peace
time.
This is no rap at the coaches
who over the peace time years
built regulations as producers of
consistent winners. Their records
earned them publicity and fat sal
aries.
But from a purely theoretical
standpoint college football is a
game for the boys, and the role
of the coach is incidental. He's just
doing a job for which he is paid,
the same as a professor. And you
never see a professor getting the
credit when one of his pupils does
omething outstanding.
Or you don't hear of professor
getting fired because h lis pupils
don't do so we'll, either. Maybe the
football coaches are entitled to that
added credit in view of the risk
they take.

ATLANTA, Oct. 3l.-lR-Officials
who handled the Nevy-Georgia
Tech game, as well as the thous-
ands who saw it or became con-
cerned through other media, will
probably be interested in knowing
that movies of the thrilling affair
vindicate the arbiters, especially
as to two decisions on pass inter-
ference. The film shows tne inter-
ference.
Both of the plays involved George
Matthews, Georgia techs 49,
pound mite of halfback. The first,
in which the official ruled that a
Navy defender interfered with Mat
thews, gave the "Ramblin' Wreck
a first down on the Navy 1-yard
line and Billy Williams scored
Techs second touchdown on t h e
next play.
The second ruling came later
when Matthews intercepted pass
from Bobby Tom jenkins at the
Georgia Tech As. The officials ruled
the pass incomplete for 80 yards,
giving Navy a first down and the
Middies drove on down to the Tech
3-yard line where jenkins fumbled
and Tech recovered.
One other thoroughly discussed
play was the one on which the
game ended. Navy, striving to over
come a 17-15 lead of Tech, had
the ball at midfield with just Sec
onds to go. Clyde Scott cut loose
with a long pass which Fran k
Broyles intercepted at his own 20.
He ran it back to the 80, was hit
hard and fumbled with Navy re-
covering.
A big pow-wow between officials
and players took place for half
minute or so, and it was obvious

Suddenly, it was apparent the game
was over and the arguments start
