Southerners Check Pitt's
Panthers to Use Aerial Drive to Triumph Score
Fails to Indicate Strength of Heisman's Eleven
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
Sporta Jailor Kvrnlnt rublle I.eter
A LTHOUGH Georgia Tech lost to the University of Pittsburgh Saturday
by nn apparently lopsided score, the same was one of the best-played
and hnrdest fought In years. The final count, 32 to 0, Is misleading. ,1'Itt
had the- better team there Is no doubt of that but not ai good as the
score Indicates. The men of Warner deserve high praise for the wonderful
Victory, which vljtually clinches the- chimplonshlp of the United States,
but the gallant, gritty, game battle put up by the boys from the Southland
cannot pass unnoticed.
I have seen many football teams go down In defeat, but neer has a
vanquished eleven looked so good as Georgia Tech. The boy, suffering In
silence and fighting a losing battle from the start, accepted the erdtct
like true Southern gentlemen. They did not curse their luck, nor did they
attempt to alibi themselves for the defeat. Theyi Just kept playing harder
' and harder as the game progressed, fighting for every inch they gained
and disputing every advance made by Pitt. There was not a quitter on
the team. The boys apparently did not know the me.mlng of the word.
Qeorgla Tech made a name for Itself in the North and Gcorgi.i Hhould
feel proud of her sons.
To the spectators In the grund stand the game looked nne-slcled and
Tech outclassed. Hut such was not the case. Pitt met with the stlffest
opposition slnco Glenn Warner took charge of the team nml was forced
to extend themselves to the limit from the start. l'le touchdowns were
scored, and those five touchdowns came aftet the hardest kind of play.
The old steam-roller attack which has tlattcned all opposition for more than
three years failed for the first time, and something new had to be sprung
to advance the ball. An aerial attack was successful, and this, combined
with the individual efforts, of Tom Davles, gave victory to the Panther.
PITT made eight first downs in the game, while Ccutgia Tech
made our. Those figures tell the story more fully than any
thing else. Pitt could not gain lonsistcntly aiound the ends or
through the line. This is' the first time that attack has met tilth
failure.
Tivo Lucky Breaks Favored Pittsburgh
XT IS easy to sit down after a game and dope out the whys and Mheie
fores of a victory and a defeat. I am not belittling Pittsburgh In say
ing that all of the luck was on the side of the home team ani the "breaks"
broke In its favor.
To my mind, there were two turning points In the game. The flr&t
came after the first two minutes of play, when Pitt, unable to gain, was
.forced to punt. Flowers caught the ball, but fumbled when tackled and
a Pitt man pounced upon it. That gave the Panthers a gain of 35 yards
and placed them In a position to score.
The second "break" came at the start of the third period, when Pitt
ui r was leadlntr hv the score of 14 to 0.

Then Tech was handicapped by the weather. The day was raw and
cold, with an icy wind blowing across the muddy gridiron. In the morn
ing there was a slight flurry of snow, which made the visitors believe
they were up in Alaska or some place like that. They never have days
like that in Atlanta, and the sudden change In temperature was too much.
The men were shivering on the field, their hands became numb with tho
.cold and this was the cause of the numerous fumbles.

Legality ot Second Penn
Touchdown Is Questioned
Did Officials Err in Allowing Points to Count When
Locke Batted Ball Toward Sivarthmore Goal, En
abling Frank to Register Winning Markers?
PI1XN evened the count with Swarth
more on .Saturday, winning tho
second match of the hoodooed 1918 sea
son from the rival Quakers by a score
of 13 to 7. In the first clash between
these tw elevens, staged three weeks
ago, tho Garnet was victorious by 20
to 12. ,
The Tied and Blue outplayed tho visi
tors on Saturday and deserved the
honors. The Perm forwards got the
Jump on their opponents. The Penn
teamwork was better, and both Rabbit
Smith and Hosenau showed better judg
ment than did the Garnet field leader.
But despite this superiority the -visitors
would have won the game. In nil
probability, If It had not been for the
queerest fluke seen on Franklin Field
In many a long ear. Many claimed it
was Illegal and that the touchdown
scored by Penn on the play should not
have counted.
Question Touchdown
The Incident occurred shortly after
the klckoff following I'enn's first touch
down and gave the Bed and Blue the
winning tally. No two persons agree on
exactly what happened, buOas the writer
saw It the following Is what took place:
Gtiges, tho Svvarthmore star, who plaVed
a wonderful game for tho Garnet, tried
n tun around Peon's right end from a
fake kick I formation. Hopper, Penn's
right end, drove him In, dove for him,
missed but slowed Geiges up so that
Harvey, the right halfback, and Locke,
fight tackle, reached Geiges a moment
later.
Harvey hit him first, so hard that
Geiges dropped the ball when he banged
ngulnst the ground Locke crashed Into
Hatvey and Geiges and also fell. As
he was falling he saw the ball bounce
up into the air right In front of him
He knew he could not get to It so he
reached out his right hand and batted
It toward the Swnrthmore goal line.
Frank Recovers Ball
Vic Frank, a Penn guard, came lum
bering up just In time to catch the
pigskin on the first bounce nnd carry It
over for a touchdown. There wasn't a
Svvarthmore man near him and hi was
not tackled until he was right behind
the p.oal posts.
Now, the point is, was it legal for
Locke to bat the ball toward the Swarth-
jnore goal?

Now, Locke batted tho ball toward
the Svvarthmore goal. Whether ho did
It accidentally or not makes no differ;
ence under the rules. So ht would deem
that the officials erred in allowing the
Penn touchdown
L. O. Klrberger, of Washington and
Jefferson, was the leferee and it was up
to mm to decide tne point. He ruled
that Locke had struck the ball by acci
dent while reaching for It and allowed
the touchdown to stand.
But as Svvarthmore did not put up a
kick and appeal from the decision or
aBk that a rulebook be produced, the
ruling goes as made. If the Garnet had

would have reversed himself after

Hopper Pcnn Star
Hopper was Penn's star defensively
and Braun offensively. Acting Captain
Jim Neylon also played well, while
Crawford, the center, put up a brilliant
game. Rabbit Smith was an Inspiration
to tho team and McNIchol threw for

Geiges was the whole thing for
Svvarthmore, being the Garnet's . only
dependable ground gainer and doing the
hulk of open-field tackling. Larkln, the
big tackle, was strong on tho defense
and punted well at times. Howell, nf
left end, also put up a fine defensive
game.

iVI Ing nnd dreams, shattered, Midship
man Saunders, Just a boy Insane for tho
second, lost himself In the whirl of ex
citement at Annnpolls and committed
the most unlquo football sin that has
been written Into recordB of tho great
college game.
Harry nielson, nn apprentice seaman
from the West, was sprinting down the
vvh'tc-llned Farragut Field on his er
rand of victory that ended In th 7-k
triumph for Great Lakes over the X'nltcd
Rlnton V.i-.l 4 .... .... . t... .
M......O ..n.m 4i:uut.-i!iy. i railing mm
and losing ground with every stride,
wero terror-stricken Mldd'cs. With
each step Klelson was widening tho gap
that meant fnme Jo Great Lake? and
defeat to the emlnjo officers
Midshipman Saunders, a substitute on
tho sidelines, saw It all through eyes
dimmed by the great thumping that was
going on In his chest. Through his
numbed mind only the pleadings of the
Annapolis rooters penetrated. 'Tackle
him! Tackle him! Tackle him!" It
sounded like a command, Mldshlnman
Sjiunders, a human being, perhaps more
etclted 'haT the nverage, merely obeyed
that Impulse. Ho tackled him.
Starts Near Riot
ltlght out on the gridiron ho rushed
and he dropped tho flying Klclson with a
tackto that would have done credit to
Jim Thorpe. Three or four Great Lakes
players, forming tho rear guard of pro
tection for thejr victory hero, pouneed
upon the Illegal substitute and started to
rough him. The Incident precipitated a.
near riot.
Out ran the Navy substitutes and the
Great Lakes reserve playera started
their dash from the opposite side of the
field. The middle cheerers poured from
tho stands and It was ten minutes before
tho field was clenred for action again
There was no question about the
Illegality of Saunders on the field of
piny and Hlelson was permitted to go on
for a touchdown without a word of dis
agreement from the Navy officials.
Tho reports of the Incident were con
fused, and one rumor had It that Saun
ders made the tackle under Instructions
from Coach Gllmour Doblc. The lean
westerner spiked It. In vyay of explana
tion, he said:
Dobie Denies Rumor
"The nervous exertement was too
much for Saunders. Ho couldn't control
himself. That's all there was to It. There
was no question about tho Illegality of
his act and, of course, the touchdown
was allowed.
"I can't understand this rumor that
ho acted by direction". It would have
been foolhardy had I attempted such u
thing. It was plain that Uelson could
not have been caught by a man eligible
to make the tackle, nnd every one saw
Saunders rush from the side lines. Fur
thermore, several minutes before, I told
Saunders to warm up as I Intended to
put him in the game. He was running
up and down tho sidelines when the
play occurred. 1 was not near him."
It was a yard back of the goal line
where Eielson gathered In the fumble
which he turned Into a victory for the
western sallprs. Tho Annapolis backs
had plowed their way to a position
that was virtually sure to result In
another touchdown. Only three minutes
remained to be played.
Bill Butler Fumbled
tMll Butler, a Philadelphia boy,' with
the ball tucked under his arm, threw
himself at the Great Lakes line. He
slipped over the coveted goal mark, but
as he was tackled the pigskin slipped
from his grasp. It fell d'rectly at the
feet of ApprentlceaSeaman Eielson. He
snatched It with n. low-sweeping scoop
and with the same movement he was
headed for the opposite goal line, 101
yards away.
In his wnke trailed l)ls opponents and,
h's teammates In a wedge-shaped
spread. Clear-headed even In the In
tense excitement, the western sailors
began clipping off the Navy players, and
when Eielson reached the point where
he was so suddenly interrupted, he was
leading the panting pack by a good five
yards and gomgi easy.
The touchdown tied the score, and it
la a particular fact that the kicking of
