B—12 * MICKAL WOUNDED ERE GAME IS WON Stars Despite Lame Knee. “They Beat Us, That’s All,” Says Huey. BY RALPH WHEATLEY, Associated Press Staff Writer. ATON ROUGE, La., December 1—Huey Long's Louisiana Tigers were defeated by Tu- lane’s Green Wave, 13 to 12, here today before a crowd of 30.000 | in one of the most thrilling games ever played on Louisiana soil. If two teams ever were evenly matched these were the two. The great Tiger halfback, Abe Mickal. was pitted against the great Greenie half- back. Monk Simons. in a duel of punts. passes and broken-field runs. The Green Wave had an &dvantage in that Mickal had a bad knee, which probably accounted for his missing two kicks for the extra point | that lost the game. Mickal was taken off the field on a stretcher as his teammates were battling the charging Green Wave on L. S. U.s 5-yard line. A few min- utes after he had gone, Monk Simons charged over the Tiger line for the deciding touchdown.

Tulane Beats L. S.

Borries, on. a cruise with his class last Summer, bought a sipall ebony Buddha statue in Gilbral- tar, and has carried it with him ever since. He started wearing it on a string around his neck at the start of the foot ball sea- son. It worked against everybody but Pitt. In the hustle and excitement of getting away from Annapolis, Bor- ries forgot his charm. He was so worried, & midshipman was dis- patched back to the Academy to retrieve it. It arrived in time, Buzz wore it around his neck, and Navy beat Army for the first time in 13 years. | SOUTHWEST TITLE - CAPTURED BY RICE All-America Wallace Heads | 5-Touchdown Attack in | Win Over Baylor. | By the Associated Press. | ACO, Tex., December 1.— | Coach Jimmy Kitts' Rice | Institute Owls won nineteenth annual South- west Conference foot ball champion- | ship today by smothering Baylor Uni- versity, 32 to 0. The Owls paraded five touchdowns over a bewildered Baylor team that threatened only once, and that late in the fourth period. A crowd of 8,000 saw the blue and white warriors trot off the field as champions, led by Bill Wallace, all- America halfback, and John Me- Cauley, all-Southwest Conference quar- terback. Wallace scored a touchdown in the second period when he grabbed Mc- Cauley's 22-yard pass. In the fourth, swarmed by Baylor linemen, he shot a 10-yard pass to McCauley for a touchdown. Wallace Rips Line. ESIDE his passing, Wallace tore through the Baylor line for nu- merous gains. His best run oc- curred in the fourth, when he took the ball behind his goal line and drove through to his 25-yard line. But the azll-America had to share glory with John McCauley, the signal- barking Rice star. In the second period McCauley took the ball on a reverse play, tore through tackle and cluded Baylor's secondary to run 30 vards for a touchdown. The Rice quarterback scored the first touchdown early in the initial period when he plunged 2 yards across Baylor's goal line, after Wallace had put the ball in scoring position with & 9-yard off- tackle gain. | Line-ups and summary: Rice «:12) ..

By the Associated Press. the | GEORGIA TECH, 140 Drives 56 Yards to Score Near Finish of Bitterly- Fought Battle. BY KENNETH GREGORY, Associated Press Sports Writer. THENS, Ga. December 1.—In the waning minutes of a bit- terly-fought gridiron battle, Georgia drove 56 yards for a touchdown today to conquer Georgia Tech, 7 to 0, in the twenty-ninth re- newal of their annual foot ball classic. More than 14,000 boisterous fans witnessed the spectacular struggle, which saw the Yellow Jackets suc- cumb to their niith successive enemy after one of the greatest &xhibitions of the season. Georgia Tech throttled the Bulldog offensive throughout the first half and threatened to score twice, only to lack the necessary driving power in the shadow of the goal. The winning touchdown was Geor- | gia's only threat and the score came | on a short pass over the center of the line by Maurice Green to Henry Wag- non, who leaped above two Golden Tornado players to snag the ball. The victory pass came on the fourth down after the gallant band of yellow- shirted gridders had stopped two line plays and a pass from the 5-yard line. Gives Georgia Good Season. T WAS the fifth successive triumph for the Bulldogs, who turned what appeared to be a disastrous cam- paign into a good season. triumphing over Florida, Yale, North Carolina State and Auburn in their last pre- | vious engagements. | This foot ball classic ended the grid- fron wars for both teams and although the Yellow Jackets dropped the deci- | | sion after weakening near the end, | there was some consolation for the Tech supporters that the men of Bill Alexander plaved exceptionally well to check Georgia's offensive from the start until five minutes before the final whistle. Tech's line played superbly and in the backfield it was the fleet-footed | 135-pound back, Skippy Roberts, who performed brilliantly in running and passing. and Capt. Jack Phillips. who bucked through fot gains and helped the Jackets immensely with long punts. Bulldogs Brace Late.

It was still rising, almost whistling | like a shell, as it cleared the crossbar with feet to spare, squarely between the uprights, and sailed on and up into the stands back of the playing field for three points and the ultimate margin of victory. The wet, chilled, bedraggled crowd. clothed in anything but the finery usually makes this a glitter nz picture, huddled under umbrellas and papers, shrieked with glee. Cutter pulled on his helmet again, went back into the line, and for the rest of the afternoon all this magnificent line- man did was thunder Army backs into the muck, uproot plays and players.

HILLIGAN, Associated Press Staff Writer. ETROIT, December 1.—Clos- ing his collegiate grid career in brilliant style, Doug Nott led the University of Detroit | Titans to a 6-to-0 intersectional vic- | tory over the Cougars of Washington | State here today. About 6000 fans |shivered in the near gale which whipped intermittent snow flurries across the field. Fear of Nott's accurate passing led to the Cougar downfall. The Titan back, one of the greatest players ever to represent Detroit, directed a first- period drive which produced the game's only touchdown, and from that point on the Detroit eleven pre- sented a stubborn defense which the Western invaders could not consist- ently crack. | Taking possession of a punt in the | opening miinute, Detroit put Nott to | work.

Nott smashed to the 5, from where John Wieczorek needed four tries to plunge over for the touch- down which was to mean victory. Jones' attempted pass for the extra point was grounded State made its best bid in the fourth after Magnus returned Nott's punt from the State 32 to the Detroit 33 on a beautiful run in which he twice reversed his field. Ollie Arbel- pide, State halfback. who started along with Magnus and Goddard for the Cougars, shot a quick pass to Grahek, which was good for first down on the Titan 14. Two passes were grounded, however. On a third aerial attempt Nott went high to intercept Arbelbide’s toss for an automatic touchback. and Nott then kicked 70 yards out of danger from his own 20. Pass Interceptions Hurt. TATE made nine first downs, large- ly on a running game, but most of them were in the vicinity of midfield, and when the invaders did have a chance to move into scoring position the Detroit line smothered the Cougar backs at the line of scrim- mage repeatedly or. as happened twice, the Titan secondary made pass interceptions which ended State hopes.

Navy, Kicked to Win by Flute-Playing Champ, Wildly Happy Over Success in Muddy Melee BY DILLON GRAHAM, Associated Press Sports Writer. HILADELPHIA, December 1.— It took a heavyweight flute player who also goes in for boxing and field goal kicking to end Navy's losing streak in foot ball against the Army and cause the seagoing forces of Uncle Sam to cele- brate, wherever they gather tonight, the first Annapolis triumph in 13 years. Slade D. Cutter, burly 196-pound tackle, who place-kicked the three points that beat West Point in a mud battle on Franklin Field today, won a national interscholastic flute-playing championship at Chicago. but the Oswego (Ill.) youth never played foot ball until he became a plebe at An- napolis. famous for left hooks and fleld goals. He is the heavyweight fistic champion of the academy and he has booted four field goals in Navy’'s most suc- | cessful gridiron season since 1926. A big, carefree blond, Cutter is one | of the comedians of the team, the | type many coaches like to have | around, for his cheerfulness is - fectious. He and Fred (Buzz) Borries, Navy's all-America halfback and an- other great competitor today, are pals, but Slade kids Buzz continually about the “write-ups” he gets in the papers. The Navy's comeback, reaching a | climax today, began with the return | of Lieut. Thomas J. Hamilton as head coach and Comdr. J. H. (Babe) Brown as director of foot ball. Brown was an all-America guard around 1912, while Hamilton's great kicking en- abled Navy to tie Army in the memo- rable 21-21 deadlock at Chicago in 1926. Today's triumph completed a clean sweep for the Sailors for, including Since then he has become more [ the 1933-34 year, teams from Annap- ) ‘ ' olis now have beaten Army in every major sports competition. The Navy dressing room was the scene of hilarious joy. It was the first time 1n more than a decade that the Sailors had brought anything but sor- row and tears back to their quarters and the Middies’ delight knew no bounds. They slapped each other on the back and danced around Cutter and Borries. “The boys played a good game and deserved to win,” said Hamilton. “I was greatly pleased. I thought it was time that we were due to come through. All the boys played well. I thought Stancook was the best all- round man for the Army.” The Army players took their defeat with courage. There was little talk n the dressing quarters as the cadets donned their grey uniforms. “Navy played a great game and deserved to win,” said Lieut. Gar Davidson. “I think we might have done better had Buckler been able to play longer. We enjoyed the game and congratulate the midshipmen.” 4 / | back Army substitutions — Ends, Preston.

Tom Hamilton has been a success and that hereafter Navy may expect its fair ' share of successes against first time a college foot ball yell vibrated the walls of the Vatican. In a similar greeting to Musso- lini, the veteran leader put forth an actual grin, although he seemed a little startled. But best of all, as superstition of the sea goes, no sharks fol- lowed the Wyoming. But the other vessel of the cruise, the Ne- braska, was picked up by this most undesirable of maritime escorts. On the other hand, the Wyoming, nearing the Virginia capes and the end of the voyage, was attended by a school of porpoises, the sea- man’s brightest omen. Then old Navy Bill, the Middies goat, who never was a succesful mascot, passed from the picture. Maybe old man psychology booted that field goal yesterday against the Cadets.
