GEORGE TESSIER
GUARD
HOWDY, SCRAPPY!
Tulane is honored today to have
Scrappy Moore and his Chattanooga
football team as guests and football opponents
for the afternoon.
Scrappy, known to baseball fans all
over the Southern League, as a star outfielder
of the Birmingham Barons is
equally well known and liked throughout
the Southern football sector. He is known
to the pigskin world not only as a coach
but as a former star of the University of
Georgia team.
His teams at "Noogaville have always
been clean playing, h:nd fighting and
colorful.
He uses the Rockne style of play, having
learned it at Georgia under the Harry
Mehre regime.
• ••
Chattanooga has long been a power
among its old rivals and its play in the
Dixie Conference has been equally Impressive.
So, the Greenies know they are in for
a well-fought game when they line up today.
• ••
A word of greeting also to the University
of Chattanooga followers who are
here for the game. May you enjoy the
oysters. the shrimp, and the football game
and come again often.
It is with pleasure that we salute the
University of Chattanooga I

1934 Football Rules Discussion
ByJAMESE. HALUGAN
Southeasteru, SoutiHYest and Southern Conferences Off.cial
During 1933 there were many, many
games that resulted in tie scores. In fact
these tie games were so numerous that a
change in the rules was deemed necessary
for the good of the sport. The committee
in charge of the rules reasoned that the defensive
development of the game was more
farther advanced than the scoring, or offensive,
feature; the latter being the real
popular side of the game to the spectators.
Therefore the rules committee followed
the experience and suggestions of the football
coaches, that the forward pass rule as
existed m 1933 was too formidable a
weapon for the defensive team, and
changed the complexion of this forward
pass rule for 1934. In 1933 when a forwurd
pass was thrown across the goal line
and grounded in the end zone, it was a
touchback, and brought out to the 20-yard
line and given to the defenders of that goal.
The result of this rule was when a team
with the ball reached the 20-yard line on
the way to a score, the defensive backs
closed in and usually stopped the oifensive
team's running game. In other words, a
team might gain ground readily in the center
of the field, but when reaching the 20-
yard line the closing in of the defensive
backs mired the attack.
The forward pass rule for 19 34 allows
the team with the ball to try for a score
with a forward pass, and if the pass fails
and is grounded behind the goal line, the
play counts as a down and another try is
allowed, except on a fourth down. This new
rule will keep the defense open in the scoring
area, and permit a team with a good
running game a better chance to function.
In the open field, the grounding of a forward
pass will not carry a loss of five yards
on the second, third and fourth unsuccessful
tries as in 1933. This will save loss of yardage
and enable the ofensive team to em-
9
ploy the running gar.-1e, should a forward
pass be incompleted. The former loss of
fonvard-pass-penalty-yardage rather forced
the ofensive to keep on trying forward
passes in a series, whereas the I 9 3 4 rule
eliminates this evident style of play, which
will keep the defense guessing.
The shape of the ball has been slightly
changed to enable a man with an average
sized hand to more easily pass the ball. The
Rules Committee and coaches are endeavoring
to improve the game by developing the
lateral passing game as well as the forward
passing. The lateral passing game is quite
a feature of Canadian football and a form
of football never well developed in America.
This development will come, and then
the fans will be electrified with the skill and
thrill of the sport, even more than now.
The permission of kicking the ball from
one of the backs standing up holding the
ball is an innovation to keep the defensive
backs away from the line, so that the run-.
ning game can succeed. lt will be used more
as a threat than to kick the ball high and
far.
The foregoing are the main changes in
the 1934 rules and really the only changes
that vitally concern the spectators.
The great game of American College
Football is conducted and regulated by the
highest type of American sportsmen; a game
beyond all taint and fixing. The rules of the
game are such as to protect our flaming hemen
athletes who make up the college
squads and teams, and to thrill the spectators
who love real mental and physical contests.
The game is a real game for the enjoyment
of the best in a person's character,
and played with sheer abandon and everJ
lasting loyalty and enthusiasm unparalleled
in any sphere of American sports. It is a
MAN maker that inculcates discipline and
the power of taking defeats of life as they
come.
Laugh, Scoffers, LA UGH!- But a Team Is Only as Strong as Its
LUCK CHARM''-
By GEORGE SYDNEY
Charley Hubert squirmed. The mohair tnin-seat
itched him and added another small annoyance o
his world of worry. He turned to Bob Martin,
stretched indiferently on the seat across from him.
'Tell me, Bob," he began, "what do you really
think about it?"
"About what?"
"The game, Mug. The game.
"Oh, the game I I guess, Berkely'll win though
I'll s:ick to State. Berkely hasn't been beaten yet,
while State's been swamped a couple of times. With
that, I don't see how State can-OwwwwwJ" His
voice rose and fell on a note of anguish. "Leggo
my leg!"
"Look," Charley whispered, as he loosened his
grasp, "Look over there."
Rubbing his limb, Bob looked.
"Awl Turtle fur. What's that old guy got to do
with you digging a hunk ou:ta my leg?"
"Look at 'im Bob, look at 'im." Charley repeated
in a reverential tone.
"I am. guy, I'm looking, and all I can see is an
old cross-eyed relic, dribbling tobacco-juice over a
dirty hirsute chin."
"Aw, shut up! Don't talk like that."
Bob looked at Chsrley queerly. "Since when the
reverence to your elders?"
"Bob," Charley said solemnly, ignoring the of-fensive
ques!ion, ''That's my Luck Chsrm."
"Your what?"
"My Luck Charm!"
Bob turned to look at the old man again and instinctively
rubbed his leg.
"And how," he asked, "can an old man like
that be a Luck Charm?"
Charley stared at the man for a moment or two.
Then:
"Four years ago when I was a freshman at State,
1 saw that queer old duck coming up on this train
for the game with Berkely. You remember, that
was the time Berkely beat "verv team on its schedude
and State lost two games?"
"Yep."
"Naturally, I wanted to bet on State, but you
know how it is. So, .iust on a hunch I walked up to
the old man and asked him, 'Who do you think
will win today's game?' He looked at me sorta
funny-Jjke and said, 'Why State, of course.' Well,
that cinched it for me. Incidentally, I go: two for
one on the bet."
Rob was laughing uproariously.
"And you mean to tell me because you saw hat
old man on the train, and because he said State
would win, State won? You're crazy."
"Sure," Charley cried derisively, sure I'm
crazy, but I won my bet, didn't I? The next year
the same thin2 happened. I saw the old man on be
lrai n and bet State."
"And State won," Bob supplied, "and, of course,
you had previouely asked the old man?"
"Well, no, no I didn't-"
Bob was laul'{hing again. "Well, whv didn't "'>U?
Supnose he didn't jlo to the game. Then what?"
Charley hesitated for a moment and became
dignified. "Because I believed his very presence on
10
the train signified he was going to the game, "nd
his being there brought luck to me and to State.''
"But.'' Bob persisted, "supposing he didn't go,
then what? •·
"I suppose State would have lost, but he did go I
He got of the train at Berke!y."
"What happened to his charm last year?" Bob
asked caustically.
"He didn't go to he game," Charley said hap-pily.
"And how do you know that?"
"He wasn't on the train J"
"Go ahead, fool, it's your money," Bob said
resignedly, "bet on State.''
The two teams lined up. Berkely kicked of.
Stevens, right half for State, received the ball on
his own three-yard line. Down the right side line
he raced. Several hurled themselves at him. On, on
he raced. thirty, forty, fifty yards-he was in the
clear-Charley grabbed Bob. "You see," he cried
excitedly, "you see-" He stopped suddenly. He
was looking out on the field. Stevens had stumbled,
and Morris, of Berkely, had recovered the ball as
it bounced from Stevens' arms.
"Well." Bob said.
But Charley sat silently, glumly watching the
play with intense interest. The score at the half
was only 6-0 in favor of Berkely-a touchdown,
and a point after touchdown would mean a win I
Two minutes left to play, and the score remained
the same. The timekeeper raised his gun aloft,
pointed upward. He fired! The game was over!
State had lost I
Bob, with a benevolent air, turned to Charley.
He had disappeared I Stretchinlj: himself to his full
height he searched through the pushing, struggling
mass crowding toward •he exits. Catching a
glimFse of Charley racing down the stadium he
sped away in pursuit. At the main exit, out of
breath and gaeping, Bob overhauled him.
"Say, what's tbe big idea?" be demanded between
g"sps.
"That guy, my luck charm, something must have
happened. He-he must not have come to the
game a'ter a!l.''
"And so," !:arcastically. "you're waiting here to
see if you can fird him. All right-1'11 wait, too-"
"There he is.'' Charley shouted, pointing and
waving his arms, unconrcious of the minor catastrophes
f.e created about several heads, "he's comin
T this wv.''
Shor'lv tf.e old man was abreast of them. Charle-
v s'o-?e.:J him.
"D;d-did you see the whole game today, sir?"
he asked.
The old man looked at the two in confusion.
"Why. ves, ron, yes I did, and it's too bad that
St,.te lost.''
Bob auffawed. ''You eee, I told you."
Cha •lev d;dn 't ur-derstand. He looked stupidly
at 1-:,. Ll•- Cha•w, •hen at Bob.
"But, Mirter.'' he went on, "did you like the
gpr-p)"
"\'Vh,v yes. POn, considering State lost and that
it was the f;rs' "'arne of football 1 bad ever .seen,
why, yes-ye!, I enjoyed it.''

Perhaps you recall Robert Louis Stevenson's
legend of Kentucky, "Fleet Foot." 1 believe that
was the name. Somehow the story reminds me of
the T ulane-Ceorgia Tech football situation.
It seems that back about I 7 7 5 when Kentucky
was the far-western frontier, there was a huntsman
called Fleet Foot. He got his name, just as you
might imagine, because he could really go places
in a hurry. On numerous occasions he had to
prove his speed by running against Indians who
roved the old Kentucky valleys.
The particular savages who roamed Kentucky
were the toughest of all the species, Stevenson
says. They thought nothing of scalping the women
and children of the oale face hunters.
Well, sir, Fleet Foot
and get set for the works. He planted himself
with an embankment to his back and pulled his
knife and waited. Fleet Foot was now up close
with knife drawn. They didn't lose much time
starting to scufAe. Fleet Foot caught the Injun's
arm which held the knife and the Injun likewise
caught F. F.'s knife mitt . . . They finally twisted
the knife away from each other and then began
rolling about on the ground. The Injun though
was much the stronger and pretty soon he had
Fleet Foot down on his back and was choking him
proper. Well. maybe not proper but choking him
until it seemed that the eyes would skip their sockets
anyway. Just when it seemed that Fleet Foot's
feet had done him mortal dirt, he heard a low
whistle. A second later
heard that his sweet·
heart and another fem·
me had been captured
by the Redskins. Being
a regular blood hound
when it came to trailing
lnjuns through the un·
derbrush, the speedy
one and his bosom pal
(who incidentally was
the heroine) set out
after 'em.
TO PASS SEEKERS:-
the Redskin relaxed and
bit the dust a dead 'un.
It had been the whistle
of a bullet that f'leet
Phospo-no, Fleet Foot,
had heard. His pal, the
brother of his sweetheart,
bad killed the Injun
just in the nick of
time.
"Tho they roar, they shall not PASS." -Jeremiah 5 :22.
"The wicked shall no more PASS."
-Nahum I : 15.
"This generation shall not PASS."
-Mark 12:30. • • •
"Sufer not a man to PASS." Now, just as I said.
that story reminds me
of the T ula ne-Ceorgia
Tech situation.
To speed up the -Judges 3:28.
story though, let it be
mentioned that the wo·
men-folk were duly rescued
at great peril to
the hunters. just when
the job was done, and
Fleet Foot was about
ready to embrace his
girl friend, he looked up
and spied a big Injun
heading across the
brambles. The Injun was
"They shall not PASS." -Numbers 30: I 8.
"None shall ever PASS."
Here for five years,
Tulane has been the
Fleet Foot of this battle.
Back in 1929, Ike Arm·
strong and Bill Banker
showed their heels to
the powerful Redskins;

-Isaiah 35:15.
"SO HE PAID HIS FARE AND WENT."
-Jonah I: 13.
-\\'JLBl'R C. SMITH, M.D.
meaning no harm, really being intent on getting
to safety. Fleet Foot though, being keen of sight,
recognized the Injun. It was the same savage who
bad chased him a couple of times previously with
malicious intent on his scalp. Both times Fleet
Foot, of course, had out-footed him although the
Red Skin was reputedly tbe fastest of his tribe.
Now, the tables were reversed. Instead of run·
ning from the Injun, Fleet Foot gave a low grunt
and took heels after the old boy. The Injun spied
him right away.
What a race they put up ... over creek, up hill,
down gully, over logs and through thickets they
went . .. finally Fleet Foot began overtaking the
Lnjun. He closed in gradually. Seeing that he was
soon to be overtaken, the Injun resolved to turn
19
1931, Don Zimmerman,
Wop Clover and Fanny Payne showed 'em the
sprints . . . In 1932, Zimmerman and Little Preacher
Roberts did tbe dirt and in 1933 old Snake
Poison Bryan skipped I 0 I yards in front of 'em.
There you are, so far anyway. That proves
half the comparison to the story.
The other half of the similarity merely rest in
the summary as follows. In the past tbe Creenies
have been the faster and in front, running for dear
life or was it touchdowns ... yet, the Creenies this
year must beware. H they ever let the Jackets
p;et in the lead and they chase 'em down, a Ia
Fleet Street-dash it-Fleet Foot, then 'We must
be prepared for a life or death battle and hope that
the reinforcements from the side lines will get the
lnjuns-no lnjuneers-before they do their worst.

There" s a few trippers m the above although
it is still too early to really go haywire.
For example, the Georgia-Stetson game
may prove to be closer than most folks
might think. Stetson is really throwing its
hat in the ring this fall. We believe Harry
20
Mehre's great team will wm all right but
don· t be surprised if the score is close. Say 20 to 7.
Georgia Tech will take Clemson although
Tech may not show a great scoring parade.
This count should be about 2 I to 0 or even
less. but the Tigers will hardly get one
across.
Chet Wynne will get his first real test
with the new Wildcats of Kentucky but the
Blue Grass boys are due to come home in
front by two touchdowns.
The Louisiana State Tigers have the hardest
job of the day in Dixie. The game against
Rice, taking place at Houston, will be a
pippin and is about a toss up. We take the
Tigers by a touchdown or a point after
touchdown or a field goal. The Tigers will
have to watch Wallace, sophomore halfback
flash of the Owls every minute.
Vandy may get a surprise from the young
Mississippi State team. Brock and Anderson
of State can really heave the ball. Although
injured, Brock may be able to play
against the Commodores. If he does, he'll
worry the Vandy air defense plenty. One
vote for Vandy.
• ••
Wake For est gets a feeble vote from this
quarter to surprise the Tarheels of North
Carolin:�.. These rivals, about twenty miles
apart, always put up a neat battle and the
Demon Deacons look just a wee bit too
strong for Coach Carl Snavely's new team.
In picking West Virginia to beat Duquesne
we are going out on the limb. The same is
true in a milder degree in selecting Pitt
over Washington and jeferson.
While casting our ballot we are slipping
in one vote for Northwestern over Marquette
but the Golden Avalanche may make
it awful hot. Stanford too gets one vote
over Santa Clara, and Texas A. & M. gets
two votes to take Texas Tech.

You are menaced on your left Aank by a superior

machine gun nests. Enemy artillery are firing on
you; your center is being attacked by tanks, while
a cavalry troop is closing in behind you. What
