11. That potent Vandcrbilt jinx which has prevailed for nearly a half century of football relations with the University of Kentucky, was never more powerful than Saturday when the Wildcats blew a 15-point lead and with it a chance to score their second victory in 20 ball games with the doughty Commodores. But with a tantalizing triumph tickling their eager claws, it was simply too much for the Cats, who cracked completely in the second half and finally were ingloriously battered into defeat, 39-15. It was heart-breaking, too, for that loyal crowd of 11,000 homecoming fans to sit there in their chilling concrete pews and watch them pitch the game out of the window alter a safety and two brilliant touchdown plays by halfbacks Noah Mullins and Ermal and s-ot thorn off to a sub- ered on the Cats' 11. After Bushmaier was dumped for a loss.

Kentucky was penalized to the 6. Rohling then plunged over for the marker and after Johnson blocked the try for point, Vander-bilt was ahead for the first time 19-15. H7 lead. Eut the vort pari of it all was the ay in which the Wildcats finally lot the lend nnd then the game. For.

Kentucky clinging desperately to a 15-13 lead in the third period, it was an unfortunately bad snap by Sophomore Center Charley Bill Walker of Cm bsn that interrupted a Kentucky drive and gave the ball to Vandy on the Wildcats' 11-yard line. In two plays from there, the counted to take the led for the first time. Agoin in the fourth period, with the Kentuckians still very rvich in the came, the jittery GO TO PIECES seemed to go seemed to go PORTWOOP-K touchdown without once losing the ball. Martin took Herbert's kickoff in his end zone and ran it out to the Vandy 38. Burns passed to "Sonny" Baird, the Kentucky boy from Pineville, for a short gain.

Mullins hit him hard on the play and he fumbled but recovered on the Vandy 42. The Cats then drew a 5-yard penalty for offsides and Burns followed with a toss to Bushmaier for 16 yards. On the next play the Cats got their first bad break. Burns heaved a long pass to Jimmy Webb, sophomore end from Birmingham, Ala. Mullins, playing safety, batted it high into the air but it came straight down into the arms of Webb on the Cats' 12.

LOSES THREE Buslimaicr lost three on a shovel pass and Burns' pass into the end zone was incomplete. Rebrovich picked up three on a fake pass and Vandy was penalized five for off side. It looked as if Kentucky had stopped this first Vandy thrust cold on its 17-yard line. But on fourth down, the Commodores V. 9 fl 'S' I'hot by llvl.

Taking the kick-off the Cats were forced to punt, Rebrovich returning to the 31.

Kentucky drew a 15-yard penalty but Vandy had to punt and the kick sailed over the goal line. Jones picked up 5, but again Walker snapped wild and Burns recovered for Vandy on U.K.'s 5 After two plunges were held, Rebrovich swept around end to score. Jenkins' kick was good and Vandy led 26-15. Kirwan then sent Phil Cutchin and Charley Kuhn into the game but it was too late to arouse Kentucky again. Holt, sub end, blocked a Cutchin punt and Van-derbilt took the ball on Kentucky's 18.

Marlin, Moore and Jenkins hooked up in another of those double pass touchdown plays to make it 32-15. Burns passed to Jack McDavid later for the final touchdown. Hammond of Kentucky recovered a fumble on the Vandy 12 with less than a minute to go and rushed to the 5. But three passes were incomplete as the game ended. Vnnderbllt I'ot.

PENALTIES Kentucky's penchant for drawing penalties in the pinch spoiled the try for extra point. After drawing one of 5 yards for taking too much time, Jones made good on his shot from 5 yards farther back. But a Kentucky lineman was caught holding and the point nullified. Jones tried again but was too far away and missed.

TOINT FAILS Jenkins' try for a point failed and Kentucky led 15-6. Rebrovich took Allen's nice boot on his 12 and galloped back to his 33. Then Vandy's powerful reverse plays began to click with crushing effect. Bushmaier raced 26 after taking the ball from Marlin before Mullins and Beck toppled him on the Cats 41. Faking a reverse this time, Bushmaier tore off 17 more through tackle for a first down on Kentucky's 24.

Marlin went to the 12 on another of those bone crushing reverses and Coach Kirwan of Kentucky rushed the injured Fortwood and Walker into the line-up. But there was no stopping this drive. Bushmaier reversed to the five, then Rohling plunged to the three. Jenkins got one at center and Rebrovich went over for the touchdown on a left end sweep. Ppwell kicked the point and the half ended with Kentucky still leading 15-13.
