Rolling Klamath Falls -9 101 30 26 8 4 0 S NAVY LOSES 19-2 TO GEORGIA TECH, SLUGGING COSTLY Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21 U.R) An Inspired Georgia Tech line, that dug In and held off Navy's battering backs on the final foot in the final mlnule, preserved a shaky two-point margin and gave the Engineers a 17 to is victory in a thrill-packed battle of the gridiron today. Navy's hopes of victory went glimmering in the twilight of a never-to-be-forgotten afternoon, but the Midshipmen had only themselves to blame. An over zealous Navy line that started i slugging when it should have been plugging, nullified the effi ciency of its blue-hued ball car riers, who ran and passed bril liantly and dominated play from the starting moment. For the unbeaten Ramblin' Wreckers, who played their hearts out on Grant field before a crowd of 30,000, it was a long but fruitful uphill battle. Three times Navy went ahead, three times Georgia Tech came from behind to take over, gaining the final precious margin with a nine yard field goal by Freshman Al len Bowen in the final six min utes of play. That made it 17 to 13 and from then on it was a test between Navy's backfield might and Tech s gallant line. The line won out by one foot. Football Scores By United Press Lafayette 44 Lehigh 0.
