Blue Devils Defeat
Crimson Tide 1926
In Closing Minutes

play, Clark dug himself hole at
right tackle and high balled it to
pay territory to score the winning
touchdown. Hal Raether's CONVEX
sion kick made the final score %
to 26, even though Alabama had
the ball and was driving again
with Gllmer passing brilliantly to
the Duke Is as the game ended.
From the start. it was an all
out offensive battle by both sides
with defense tactics virtually ig-
nored.
Gilmer. a nerveless 17-year-old,
made a prophet of his coach,
Frank Thomas, by putting on one
OF the most brilliant passing eX-
hlbitions in bowl game history.
Thomas had said before the game
that Duke would have to stop
Gilmer, whom he described as the
best collegiate passer l ever saw. .
The Blue Devils put the issue
squarely up to the youngster by
scoring on the first series of plays
after the kickoff. Clark made 81
yards on the kickoff return and
after three running plays failed,
rolled through center for IA yards
and the score. Raether converted.
Gilmer, quarterbacking smartly,
decided to save his passes for a
more climactic occasion and alter
mated with Norwood Hodges and
Lowell Tew in series of running
plays that produced Tide touch
down after the kickoff, the march
being good for &c yards. Hodges,
the smash man. went over on a
power play from the one. Morrow
missed and Duke led Z to +.
Then Gilmer proved who wa:
boss of the aerial department, com
ing up with the play of the day
the next time the Tide got the
ball.
Taking the ball on their own 81
yard line, they advanced to mid

A capacity crowd of 10000 shirt
sleeved fans hardly had assembled
in their seats at the palm-fringed
stadium before the Tulsans struck
pay dirst. And from that first
score four minutes after the game
started, the outcome never was in
doubt.
Headlined as a team whose forte
was its ground game, the Golden
Hurricane opened up with pass
ing attack that accounted for two
of it's four touchdoWns, and the
Tulsa eleven also came up with
pass defense that was virtually
alright when Techs Wanted aer-
ial game began to click in scoring
territory.
It was tailback Perry Moss
his passing and his running in the
clutches-and his running mate,
Ed Shedlosky, that spelled defeat
for Tech and gave Tulsa a record
of two wins and two losses in four
successive years of bowl compe-
tition.
1t was Moss accurate right arm
and his stabs at the line that NOV

field to score the first touchdown

losky scored from the five on a
Statue of Liberty.
Moss converted both times and
those IA points were good enough
to win against a Tech team that
just couldn't get going against
Tulsa's big line and couldn't hold
onto the ball in scoring territory.
But the Oklahomans added anoth.

Tech came back after the kick
off to score, as Frank Broyles
who kept the Engineers in the
game with his passing, lobbed a
31-yard aerial to Johnny Mcintosh
on the 20 and the little halfback
raced the rest of the way to the
goal.
But Camp Wilson, the Golden
Hurricane big, bruising fullback,
crossed that score off a minute
later when he took the Tech kick
off and raced 80 yards down the
middle to score. 1t added up tc
three touchdowns in five and q
half minutes of play.
The Engineers opened up with
a bevy of passes in the final per.

DALLAS, Tex. Jan. 1.-UP)-
Oklahoma A. & MS rousing cow
boys put on a football wild west
show in the Cotton Bowl today
in wide open offensive display
which gave them a "a to victory
over the crippled Texas Christian
Horned Frogs before 1880 chilled
fans.
The ''ringmaster" OF the grid
iron rodeo was Bobby Fenimore,
the nations leading offensive star
during the regular season, who
made it apparent from the first
kickoff that it was to be his show.
Bounding Bobby the wrath from
Woodward, Okla, scored two touch.
downs and engineered the drive
for third before Coach Jim Look
abaugh called the regular troupers
out and let second stringers run
over pair of scores in the final
period.
Fenimore, named on a number
OF All-America teams despite the
fact that he is only a sophomore,
cracked the whip in a doWnfield
drive which started the first time
the cowboys got the ball.
Confusing the Texas Christian
secondary by alternating his tar
gets, Fenimore passed first to
Glenn Moore and then to Cecil
Hawkins with the two long heaves
covering 81 yards. That put the
ball on the one yard line and Fen
imore barged across with it on the
first play and Oklahoma had
touchdown with less than three
minutes gone.
Again before the period was
over the cowboys struck for a
score with stunning sWiftness. Jim
Spavital, who wasn't even listed
on the Aggie roster at the start
of the season took the ball on his
own 48, nosed through the line
without even an assisting block
and ran So yards to the double
stripe. That play took the heart
out of the Christians, who were
operating without several of their
top flight stars and they never
again were a threat.
The Aggies played a sound de-
fensive game through most of the
second period, but opened up again
in the third. The Horned Frogs
showed to the best advantage of
the day in the closing moments of
the second period when they stop
ped A & M twice on attempted
drives for touchdoWns.
Superior manpoWer asserted it.
self, however, and the cowboys,
with Fenimore leading the way
moved from their own II, and
scored again. F'enimore took
punt at that point and streaked to
the 81. He and Spavital took turns
at shredding the T. c. U. line with
Hawkins getting in an occasional
lick. 1t was Hawkins who set up
the touchdown with a IA yard run
| to the 10, Spavital tested the right
side, found it vulnerable for three
and Fenimore went through the
same side to score standing up.
Lookabaugh then called off his
first stringers and let the bench
warmers romp for the two fourth
period touchdoWns. DoWnfield
drives by the youngsters put the
ball IN scoring territory each time
with Jim Thomas, a freshman
making one score from the one
yard line and Mack Creager, the
teams par-excellent place kicker
scoring the other from two yards
out
Creager also distinguished HIM
self by kicking four out of five
extra points, missing out only on
the last touchdown which he scor-
ed himself.

these objectives with full vigor and
energy"
In conformity with the Supreme
Court ruling that the AP, in voting
on applications for membership,
must disregard possible competitive
effects on existing members, the
proposed amended bylaws contain
this provision:
In voting upon an application
for membership whether such vot-
ing be by the members or by the
board of directors, no member or
director shall take into considera-
ton in passing upon such applica-
ton the effect of his or its admission
upon the ability of such applicant to
compete with members in the same
city and field" Morning, evening
or Sunday)
The board said that when the AP
had fulfilled the requirements OF the
court decree it would consult with
the Justice Department for the
purpose of proposing motion to the
District Court for the lifting of the
permanent injunction granted
under the decree.
at is inconceivable to the Board
of Directors, as it must be to the
whole membership, that the Asso-
ciated Press or any similar organi-
cation engaged in the cooperative
collection of news should attempt to
operate under permanent injunction
of the courts" the board said.
The board noted that aside from
changes in the bylaws governing
admission of members there were
"other changes intended ultimately
to bring the bylaws in accord with
the present operation, as well as to
enable the Associated Press to func-
tion freely in a highly competitive
field.
'Up to this time the bylaws
constituted the entire contract be-
tween the member and the Asso-
ciated Press" the board said. Ger
tain provisions of the bylaws
adopted more than 40 years ago
are archaic In the sense that their
application is outmoded.
at is therefore proposed to SUBJ
stitute a contract with the mem
ber covering the nature of the serv-
ice which is to be supplied the
member, the use to which he may
put 1t and other similar matters.
The member will sign both the by
laws and the contract and will be
required to adhere to the commit
ments OF each.

"The new provision is that asso-
