played, and every last one of them showed the results of good coaching.
True it is that Courtney, Franklin, Bleier and Stanton ran the ball in great style but it was the interference that made those runs possible. Time and again the Piedmont players were all on the ground as the elusive Miami backs raced goalward.
The Piedmont team appeared to be strong at the outset. Their team started a march down the j field from the 25 yard line to the I Miami 15 yard line with the aid of a fumbled punt in the first period, only to be stopped by the Hurricane’s crack defense. It proved to be their only strong bid for a score. After that they were a beaten team with the issue never in doubt.
The Hurricanes resorted to straight football running, the ends mixing it up with line smashes and resorting to a pass attack but twice. The Georgia team’s best bet was their end run formation which bothered the Miami linemen at the start. Haslett proved to be their greatest ground gainer
and offensive threat. Their quarter played a good game until he was removed because of an injury.
Coach Buck was out of town and assistant Eddie Brett was in charge. Brett handled the team in first class shape and kept them going at top speed.

Captain Kimbrough and Captain Teasley met in the center of the field with the officials of the game to toss and decide their respective goals. Captain Teasley won and chose to defend the south goal.

Haslett made four off tackle. A pass was incomplete and Miami took the ball on her own 15 yard line. Cliff Courtney made 15 yards around right end, Bleier made two over tackle. Wignall tore through guard for 7 yards. Bleier made 10 yards off tackle and first down on the 47 yard line. Franklin took the ball on the next down and side stepped, pivoted, and carried the ball to Piedmont’s 15 yard line. The interference was perfect. A pass. Franklin to Cliff was incomplete. Bleier made 2 yards through center. Courtney ran the left end for a touchdown. Ashman kicked the extra point from placement.

Turned Over To Student Organizations
An Honor Science Club has been formed by the students of the natural science classes who are interested in delving further into the realm of science than is permitted in the classroom. At present membership in the club is open to all uperclassmen who are majoring or minoring in natural science, and who have an average of B, but later membership will be open only to juniors and seniors majoring in science.
The purpose of the organization is to foster scientific investigation, and to go as thoroughly as possible into new developments of science which can not be formally discussed in the class room. The club plans to have well known scientists lecture on various phases of the subject from time to time, as well as different members prepare talks to give at meetings. These lectures and talks will be open to anyone who wishes to attend.
The club is sponsored by Dr. O. J. Sieplein, Prof. O. P. Hart, and Prof. J. W. Pearson, who are also honorary members. The officers are: Harold Wolfe, president; Otto Sieplein, vice president; and John Holland, secretary-treasurer. The other members are: Evan I.ind-strom, Dick Pollard, Robert WTest. Dan Conroy, Philip Lifkowitz, Vic Ruben, and Bill Farr.

Conant, executive rice president of the Miami Chamber of Commerce, the program was turned over to Dr. J. C. Cochran.
The University Orchestra, which . numbered forty-eight musicians, opened the program with the “Coronation March” by Meyerbeer, and played as a second number the overture “If I Were King,” by Adam. Arnold Volpe, director of the orchestra, has been putting the organization through two regular rehearsals a week in preparation j of the coming season.

Judge Whitefield Club Is Given Replica of Document
The Judge Whitfield club, honorary legal fraternity of the University of Miami Law School, had just received a lithographed replica of the commission issued by President James Monroe to General Andrew Jackson, first governor of Florida.
The document had been in the possession of Judge J. B. Whitfield, of the Florida Supreme Court and is preserved by the state as his gift. Judge Whitfield sent the copy of the document to the club.
On November 16 the club plans to initiate three new members, and hold a banquet.
Study In Open
Tropical color has been added to the patio in the University building, and the students enjoy studying in the open. A number of large varicolored umbrellas with tables and chairs to match have been placed around the concrete basketball court, and these are the center of groups of freshmen who find their green bench in the social hall either too hard, or entirely occupied.

‘Beat Spring Hill’ Is
Crv of Student Body
The Piedmont victory made it second down and eight to go for the Hurricanes. Spring Hill comes next from Mobile, Alabama. “Beat Spring Hill” is the battle cry of both the team and student body.
Spring Hill has a good team and it will take a good Miami team to whip them.
Coach Buck is driving the local team hard in order to get them on edge for the rest of the year.
Tuesday night Buck drove the team until tne moon was shining high above the Coliseum and he then introduced the ghost ball to the Hurricanes for the first time. The team is fighting harder than ever in order to give us a win-1 ning team. The least any of us can do is be there Friday and let them know we are behind them. Beat Spring Hill, that is the big ; thing.
