NEW OR LEA N S, Sept. 25.-
Tulane's Green Wave upset Ala

thanks mainly to the passing OF
Quarterback Joe Ernst and to most
of the breaks.
An estimated 10000 spectators

plays for the opening touchdown in
the second period, Bobby Jones,
sophomore left half. started the
march with a 17-yard end run and
wound it up with 7-yard off tackle

A tumble recovery on the Ala
bama 80 gave Tulane its next chance
in the third period. Ed Price cir
cled left end for the last four yards.
A few minutes later Tulane got the
ball on 'Bamas 81 through a bad
punt, and Ernst tossed 20 yards to

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 25.-
Georgia Techs dazzling aerial
offensive clicked in the second and
fourth quarters to give the Yellow
Jackets a 1870 victory over Wander
bilt's Commodores today.
A capacity crowd of some 22,00C
sat in the bright sunshine and
watched the speedy Tech gridders
live up to advance promises, gaining
almost at will.
Tech backs made occasional long
gains through and around the
Commodore line. 1t was the aerial
game, however, that paid of in
touchdowns. Except for the talented
toe of Zack Clinard, who repeatedly
got off long punts, the score might
have been greater.
Vanderbilts only scoring threats,
in the first and final quarters. were
spoiled by a tumble and an inter-
cepted pass.
Georgia Techs first score came
early in the second quarter when
Joe E. Brown hurled a long pass te
Sophomore Dick Harvin in the end
zone The touchdown was Harvin's
first play in college football. Dinky
Bowen's placement was good.

Danny Arena Wins First Heat

championship this summer for just
that reason.
Danny Foster, who was without
Gold Cup to drive for the first
time in several years, settled for
a 225-cubic- hydroplane ':amed
Bee Jay from Detroit. He won the
first heat, against a fast field OF
10 boats. But in the second event
he developed engine trouble that
twice stalled his boat and. dropped
him to the cellar at the finish.
Joe Van Blerck of Freeport, N
Y, in Aljo v, winner of the 225s
championships here last year, broke
down in the first heat, while in No
p position, and failed even to get
out for the next event. Third and
final heat for the sporty 225s comes
today with John Francis WhirlaWay
Of Hickory, N. c., now leading on
points.
On the upper turn during the
first heat of the 225s. Gordon Lipe
of Fayetteville, N. Y, capsized in
great shower of river water. He
was thrown gear of the boat and
was unharmed. The Coast Guard
took charge.
The bouncing. ear-splitting little
outboards gave their usual fine show
as curtain raiser to the regatta.
Washington's Ike Hale, 52-year-
old decorator, scored first in the
amateur ranks of classes c and F
outboar hydroplanes. Hudson
Moses, also of Washington and a
newcomer to outboard hydroplane
ranks, placed second in the same
events.
Driver Thrown Clear.
just before the running of the
second heat for Glass B outboards,
19-year -old Griffin Burnett was
thrown clear of his little boat when
he banked too sharply in attempt
ing to get to the starting line in
time. His boat kept right on going
in wide circles-fortunately at re-
duced speed.
Burnett swan out of the line as
II boats roared by. One boat
stopped. 1t was driven by Will
Farmer of Richmond. He drove
alongside the driv, less craft,
steered it to Burnett who was float
ing without injury nearby. He
clambered back aboard. In the ex-
citement Farmer flooded his en-
gine and couldn't get started, but
then it was too late anyway.

Time Stops Cavaliers
last-Minute Effort
To Snap Deadlock
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Sept
25.-A fieet-footed, vastly under
rated Miami of Ohio football team
held Virginia's favored Cavaliers
to a 14-14 draw here today in a
violent offensive battle whose out
come was in doubt until the final
seconds.
A desperate. last-minute rush
goalward by the Cavaliers fell short
OF success as time ran out, leaving
the visiting Redskins a wide margin
statistically if not not in the scoring
column.
Virginia, boasting a lightning
punch which nearly Offset spotty
line play, started out like fire
alarm. The Cavaliers took the
opening kickoff and 4 minutes later
without losing the ball, had powered
81 yards to a touchdown. Barney
Gill, a f1ashy sophomore from Nor
folk, Va, whizzed over from the 26
after taking lateral from Quarter
back Joe McCary.
Joe Leonard's kick split the up
rights and it looked as if the rout
was on.
But that wasn't the way it worked
out. Miami. after an exchange OF
kicks, took over on its 38 and zoom-
ed 81 yards downfield for the tying
marker shortly after the second
period opened. Mel DIX, Redskin
quarterback, punched over from the
i for the score and Wild Miller
kicked the extra point.
After that, the crowd Of 10000
knew what to expect.
Both teams went at offense ham
mer and tongs, and 1t was only hard
breaks which prevented more touch
downs.
Jim Leavitt, substitute quarter
back, set the stage for Virginia's
second tally in the third period.
Miami had pushed to the Virginia
AZ when one of Olix's generally ex-
pert tosses fell plop into Leavitt' S
arms on the 35-yard stripe. Leavitt
gathered it in and scampered to the
Miami % before lonesome Miami
tackle, Bob Ellison, brought him
down.
A few plays later, McCary dropped
one into the arms of Halfback Floyd
Tayloe in the end zone for a Cava-
lier score, and Leonard's successful
conversion made it 14-7.
The Redskins retaliated with a
dazzling push which carried Sc yards
in six plays. A 17-yard pass from
Dix to Halfback Paul Shouts and
another for II yards to Shouts,
coupled with two line plunges, put
the ball on the Virginia %. DIX
then faded back and laid one in
Shouts arms in the end zone. Mil
ler's boot was perfect, making it
14-14. and that's the way it ended.

two men, who were unhurt. The
boat is definitely out of today's two
heats, one at 2:30 and the other at
4:O5 pm.
For 51-year- -old Clell Perry of Al
gonac, Mich, who was in second
place on the final stretch with Miss
Pepsi of Detroit, when he dropped
out with a broken shaft, the day S
performance was real heart
breaker. Perry is seeking to be the
first driver to win the President
Cup three times. He did it with
Notre Dame in 1885 and 1887. Miss
Pepsi, owned by Roy and Walter
Dossin of Detroit, still may get out
for today's showdown.
Third victim in the Gold Cup
class was Henry J. Kaisers West
Coast boat Fleur du Lac, driven by
Max Collins of Lake Tahoe. Calf
In sixth place in field of 10 start
ers, the boat was wracked by Sc
ries of engine backflres and explo-
sions of its carburetorS on the fourth
lap. She appeared close to getting
out of control, and she dropped out
Her engine cowling was blown awry
by the force of the explosions.
Kaisers aides made efforts last
night to have a new carburetor flown
here from California in time for
Fleur du Lac to run in the second
heat.
Second to complete the course
and still a threat in todays races
was Harry Lynn's beautiful mahog-
any racer Lahala of St. Louis, Mo.
Lynn, a neophyte to the big time,
drove fine race, and, in fact, was
one of the few Gold Cup owners
handling his own boat.
Arena Comes Up Fast.
MY Sweetie, driven by Bill Cam
trell of Louisville, KY, and owned
by Ed Gregory and Ed Schoenherr
of Detroit, took an early lead and
leaped clear of the water at times
with her big Allison airplane en-
gine screaming.
From a third position in the first
lap, Arena moved up to second and
then to first at the end of the
third lap. Danny steadily widened
his lead, while Cantrell dropped
back to third, giving way to Perry.
Such Crust's fastest speed came
in the sixth lap. 1t was 1881
miles an hour, which meant that
Arena was travelling at better than
100 miles an hour on the straight
way.
The only Washington entry in
this event, Tommy Keane's little Z
liter Tomadge w, was outclassed
and empowered and she finished
seventh and last. Completing the
course after My Sweetie, which
placed third, were Harold Wilson's
Miss Canada III of Ingersoll, On
