THE GEORGIA TECH ALUMNUS
Tech 7, Alabama 0
McHugh Intercepts 'Bama Pass
In one of the hardest fought games of the season, the Rambling Yellow Jackets stung a powerful Red Elephant team from Alabama by a score of 7 to 0, on Home Coming Day, in Atlanta, November 14. Thirty-three thousand people at Grant Field saw a classic of slashing, elemental football that left the Rambling Wrecks high in the National ratings with eight straight victories and the Red Elephants with prestige enhanced even in defeat. Clint Castleberry, the dashing freshman halfback, started a 61 yard drive which fullback Ralph Plaster capped on the sixth play of the game with a touchdown buck to crack the mighty Tide line. Then center Mutt Manning and guard Harvey Hardy took charge and inspired a defense that took the ball on downs five times from the onrushing Elephants. The two South Georgia stalwarts earned Ail-American consideration for their sixty minutes of jolting, tackling and canny diagnosing of play. Wherever the hard running Alabama backs struck they found Manning or Hardy in their way. For once, two linemen eclipsed the achievement of any back on the field. It was no smug Alabama team on the field, however; it was a well prepared, sharply conditioned outfit that blazed away with every gridiron weapon, took all sorts of chances. If the Tech line defense was brilliantly executed, the Alabama pass defense was vastly improved. The Tidesmen were batting down passes or rushing the passer all afternoon and the main of Tech's offense was all but silenced; however, the Jackets theatened to score on three occasions and out-gained their opponents in first downs, running, and passing. Coach Bobby Dodd acting Head Coach in the absence of Head Coach W. A. Alexander declared, at the finish, that Alabama was the best team Tech had met all season including Notre Dame. Coach Frank Thomas, of Alabama, who had flown here by plane from the bedside of his mother in East Chicago, said that the Engineers were the toughest Tech team he had ever met.
PAT McHUGH leaps high into the air to intercept an Alabama pass. McHugh made 15 yards before he was stopped and effectively broke up a 'Bama goalward march.
