"I don't know what we shall
do for a referee," Atherton as

its next meeting. Either I am
the commissioner or I'm not. but
I'm going to ask a showdown."
Fitzpatrick, center of the

the game. I'll explain every
thing when you arrive." I

broidery of swift thrills.
Held In the first quarter, the
favored southerners grabbed an
accident-insurance lead In the
second when North Carolina's
Harry Dunkle booted a field
goal from the Yankee 12.
It took lust seven minutes

its first touchdown. Crain, run
ning the Yankee flanks like a
scared rabbit, worked the ball
from the North 35 to the 19 after
a partly blocked punt left the
Yankees in a hole.
Twice Crain tried passes, and
twice they failed. Then Hovious
came in, whipped a seven-yarder
to Preston Johnston of Southern
Methodist, bucked six over right
tackle and then passed again to
Johnston for the touchdown.
Johnston's placekick went wide.
The Confederates hammered
home the final touchdown in the
fourth period after George Frltts

covered Andy Tomaslca fumble
on the North 37.
Hovious and Crain took the
ball to the Yankee IS In four
plays, and then Crain flipped a
14-yarder to the little Missis-
sipplan who took it over his
right shoulder and stepped four
yards over the goal line. Craln's
placekick was good.
