Harmeson counted fifteen points and Murphy sixteen. The half ended with the Boilermakers on the long end of a 24-to-5 score. De Pauw rallied in the second half, counting long shots. Their short ones were ineffective because of Coach Lambert’s tight guarding system. Crawley, Methodist floor guard, was the main cog in De Pauw’s second half defensive. Summary: PURDUE..

s should see nothing of Mr. Sam Miller of Bedford for the remainder of this basketball season, that will be entirely too soon. Mr. Miller staged a little picnic ail his very own in the Columbus high school gym here, Tuesday night and led his Stone City teammates to a 56-to-39 victory over the hitherto undefeated Bulldogs. Samuel was responsible for twentyfour of the Bedford points. His eight field goals registered at opportune moments of the last half added to his trio of the first session and a pair of free throws had the Columbus citizenry goggle-eyed. nan There wasn’t any question of which team was the better Tuesday

BY FRANK GETTY, United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK. -Jan. 2.—There will be no dispute from any section of the country as the season s football laurels are belatedly but unreservedly awarded to Bill Alexander, head coach of Georgia Tech’s mighty eleven which defeated the Golden Bears of California in the Rose Bowl at Pasadena Tuesday, 8 to 7. And while that bald brow of Bill’s is bowed to receive the laurel wreath, the football fetes are weaving a wreath of wild raspberries for Captain-Elect Roy Riegels of the beaten team, whose dash of sixtysix yards toward his own goal line paved way for the Tornado’s victory. Georgia Tech’s victory was well earned. Captain Peter Pond’s men proving themselves the greatest cf the season's football teams beyon*

a doubt. They outplayed the Bears in a game punctuated by frequent fumbles, blocked kicks and intercepted passes, and only some desperate defensive measures by the Californians kept the score as close as it was. Thus the football season was brought to an end, with intersectional honors passing definitely to the south, and more specifically to Georgia Tech and Bill Alexander, the modest mentor who developed an unbeaten, untied team in a year when the experts said it couldn’t be done. Only two other elevens played through the season without being defeated or tied—Boston college and Detroit. Yet such were the opponents of these teams that their records cannot justly be compared with that of Georgia Tech.

Grace Loses • to Brown on Foul in sth Good Scrap Comes to End With Philadelphian Far in Front. Two knockouts featured the fight card at the Armory Tuesday night. The first came in one of the prelims, and no one cared about that, but the second was felt by everyone. It came in the fifth round of the main go between Meyer Grace and Norman Brown when the latter caught a low blow and the bout was halted. The foul was a sock on the chin for every member of the large holiday crowd, for the fight had developed into one of the best punch-swapping affairs seen here recently. Grace was leading by a wide margin when he was so unfortunate as to start the low one, but Brown was taking them well and looked good. The semi-windup, an eight-round-er between Lon Lovelace, Terre Haute, and Ehrman Clark, Indianapolis. was filled with action. Lovelace won by a shade.

This last, Roleaux Saguero, perhaps is the most colorful of the group. At times he has looked like a world beater and at other times like the world's greatest flop. He is a slugging light heavyweight and his philosophy seems to be “either slug or get slugged.” The three who have shown most promise are Kid Chocolate, featherweight; Armand Santiago, 130 pounder, and Manuel Quintero, lightweight. The others are Black Bill, flyweight, and Cuban Bobby Brown, light heavyweight. Kid Chocolate looks like the best of the feater contenders, with the single exception of A1 Singer. He is a willing fighter. Santiago packs a wallop in each hand and the 130-pound boys will find it tough to star.d up when he lands. Quintero is a left-hander who uses that particularly deceptive southpaw punch which invariably lands on the jaw of an opponent. Black Bill seems to need developing.

Mizell and Thomason Lead Tech to Triumph Over California Team Margin of Victory Comes in Second Period When Riegels Pulls ‘Boner’ and Reverses Field.
BY GEORGE H. BEALE United Press Staff Correspondent PASADENA, Cal., Jan. 2. Georgia Tech, pride of the southland’s gridiron, today is the uncrowned king of 1928 elevens following its sensational 8-7 victory over the University of California in the annual Tournament of Roses intersectional football game here Tuesday. The supreme sensation of the gridiron battle came in the second quarter, when Captain-Elect Roy Riegels of California raced sixtysix yards and placed the ball on his own one-foot line and subsequently gave the Golden Tornado a safety which spelled victory for his opponents. Tech played the major part of Its game on the ground, while California. baffled and played to a standstill during the first three periods, took the air in the last quarter with a passing attack that carried it to within one point of a tie with the victorious southerners. Mizell and Thomason bore the brunt of the Tech offensive. They repeatedly crashed through the line and darted around end fo~ long gains. Behind Pund. Tech’s giant center, Lumpkin, full back, battered California’s line effectively. Waddey and Pund shone resplendently on the line, while backfitld honors seemed about evenly divided. On the California team Lorn and Phillips were the outstanding players. Lorn almost exclusively handled the ball, either carrying it himself or flipping long accurate passes to Phillips, star end of the Golden Bears. Eisan and Barr turned in good performances, the former being particularly impressive in his punt returns. Apparently confused. Riegels took Thomason’s fumble on Tech’s 33yard line and, after taking a step toward Tech's goal, turned and raced down the sidelines, pursued by his team mate, Benny Lom. The latter, however, did not overtake him until Riegels had nearly crossed his own goal line. On the next play Barr's kick from behind his goal line was blocked and the safety resulted. Riegels came back in the second half, however, to play as well as any of California's stalwart linesmen. After stepping into n two-point lead, Georgia Tech hammered at the line through the remainder of the period and into the second half until Mizell’s thirty-yard run carried the pigskin to California’s 15-yard | stripe, where Thomas took-it around end for a touchdown. California’s aerial assault began too late to overcome Tech’s eightpoint lead. Its only points were scored in the last quarter when the
Lom-Phillips combination worked the ball down to the invaders’ 27yard line. Eisan made seventeen yards and then Lom hurled the oval to Phillips for the lone touchdownv

"pants.” They looked good—until they took their sweat trousers off and started to play. Skipper Frank White of the Bulldogs immediately shifted to the new rules outlined by Coach Tony Hinkle—“if it lilts "the backboard it doesn't count.” He dropped one in from left center that didn’t hit a thing but the di aperies. Seven out of eight did the same thing, and Dana Chandler didn't do so badly with sixteen points. Colonel Henry Satterfield, who led the visitors in scoring, found early in the game that snappy passing and beautiful floor work doesn't impress the scorekeeper to any appreciable extent—if any. Following a convention of the boys betwen halves, the N. C. team decided to shoot more at the hoop? ’ The result was startling, and even, the Butler co-eds uncovered their chilled knees for a moment to yell for the horfle town boys. Near the end, Oral Hildebrand was eliminated from the contest with four personal fouls worthy of a New York subway guard. Then Mr. White was sent to the locker room. White played the best game and therefore was given his choice of shower baths—and first pick of the towels. Os course, the game was just about over. The only surprise was Mr. William Sayce, who is getting quite plump lately. Oh, yes, the score—43 to 20, and did you ever think how easy it would be to ride a bicycle down the ramps of the barn?
