...afternoon last week a golden October sun beat down on one of the maddest sport spectacles that Atlanta ever saw. Georgia Tech's football team, which had been unscored on while scoring 119 points in its first three games this season, lined up against Duke University's powerful team. In the first five minutes of the game Duke took the ball in midfield and rolled forward in eleven plays to its first touchdown. That march was a sample of what the final statistics were to show-Duke gained 200 yards by rushing to Georgia Tech...
...minutes after Duke's first demonstration of power, Georgia Tech took the ball on its own 35-yd. line, and in ten plays scored a touchdown. That flight was also a sample of the afternoon's play. It began with a 33-yd. forward pass, followed by a forward from Quarterback Sims to End Jordan who lateraled to Guard Wilcox for a first down on the 18-yd. line.

Last week, an undefeated Notre Dame eleven gained 235 yards by rushing, to Carnegie's seven, made 15 first downs, to Carnegie's two. But at the end stubborn Carnegie Tech was ahead by the margin of a field goal. Score...
...face of its new $6,000,000 Parthenon-like building, the Mellon Institute in Pittsburgh last week found painted in letters six feet high the New York University-Carnegie Tech football score: N.Y.U. 18. C.T. 14. The fan who did the job, a New Yorker but no N.Y.U. alumnus, was soon discovered, but Pittsburgh police could not extradite him for malicious mischief. Meantime, the institute's scientists in whom U.S. tycoons have invested $11,478,406 for industrial research, notably into paints and chemicals, threw all their resources into removing the black asphalt paint. In the end, they could...
