yards attempting to buck the
line. Medford was In possession
cf the ball on the Klamath 24
when the quarter ended.
Early in the second period
Vanderhoff, Klamath center, re
covered a Medford fumble. A
pass, Berry to Klmsey, picked
up a first down. Then Bostwick
intercepted one of Berry's pas
ses on the Medford 35. The
Tigers were held for downs and
kicked out of bounds on the
Klamath 41 yard marker. Berry
took to the air but his passes
went incomplete and Klamath
was forced to kick. The boot
was a poor one, being taken on
the Medford 48 but Blehn re

regain possession of the ball for

Doty was forced to kick. Here
the Pelicans presented their
only real scoring threat when a
series of passes from Berry to

Berry and moved it out to the
Klamath 44 before he was
stopped.
Doty fumbled on the Klamath
39 with Reed recovering for

the evening when he raced 92

ward wall tightened and, on
the fourth play, Doty skirted
the Pelican right end and scored

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.

Wisconsin team. -
In part it was the passing of
Quarterback Frank ' (Boley)
Dancewicz and the sensational
running of halfback Bob Kelly
that enabled the fighting Irish
to remain undefeated, but also
was the play of a ponderous
hard-charging line that kept
Girard off-balance and held his
dangerous passing in check.
