Football: Dec. 16, 1929
Eight out of eleven Oregonians took off their jerseys, played with their bare arms sticking out of their pads. They got one touchdown on a Florida pass but Quarterback Crabtree of Florida, used to warm weather, trickled 81 yards through them, and Ed Sauls and Red McEwen made two more. Florida 20, Oregon 6.
Georgia's little Bulldogs quit the gambling football they played against N. Y. U. and Alabama and went after Georgia Tech, cautiously, as though convinced that this was an important game. In the first period Waugh was hell, but after that the Yellow Jackets blocked one of Chandler's punts, hurried him on another, made him fumble a third, tied the score. Georgia picked up a blocked kick and an edge. Georgia 12. Georgia Tech 6.
South Carolina could not take the ball anywhere even when they got it. Most of the time Tennessee's McEver had it, his chunky mud-legs, pumping. The five touchdowns and three extra points he scored made his individual season total 130two points higher than the season's high man, Hinkle of Bucknell. Tennessee 54, South Carolina 0.
Western Maryland kicked as often as they could. So did the University of Maryland. It made the game dull, but Frank Clary got across the goal-line twice for Western Maryland's eleventh straight victory, 120.
