22. As the Vols and Cats lined up for the kickoff today, a veteran follower of the ancient series said, "That's the rattiest looking Tennessee team I've ever seen." And as gurgling Tennessee followers carried Coach Bob Nej'land off the field after the contest closed, he grinned, "That's the best playing ratty team in the world, I guess." The scrubby-looking Vols outfought the Wildcats of Kentucky in the last three quarters to lengthen Neyland's unbroken string of victories over Coach Paul Bryant's uninspired Wildcats. We scored first, but that's all that can be said for our side. From our first-quarter touchdown to the final gun Kentucky past Tennessee's 36. The Vols tied the score in the second and won in the fourth, keeping the ball most of the game.

It was a clean struggle, but a sad one for the Cat followers, who had banked on a 4 vi win to justify their journey to the Great Lakes Bowl. The Cats got themselves into a bad hole almost at the beginning by fumbling in midfield, but the Vols eased the situation by accommodatingly dropping the ball where the Cats could get it back. Sengel curled his frame around it on Tennessee's 42-yard line and Wah Jones rushed onto the field for his first action since he lost his appendix three weeks ago. The Cat backs faked their aerials to the long gentleman from the mountains, and 1 MlfWWy Ft Farris passed to less-protected boys. This quickly moved the ball to Tennessee's 11.

Blanda dropped back for another flip. The line spread far out. Phelps took up a position so far to the left that he was almost in the laps of box seat holders. Here was the sensational spread formation that surprised Alabama. And the pass.

But it didn't go to Phelps. And it didn't go to They were too well covered. Five ihterferers drifted off to the short side and teamed up like a wedge of the old days in football. Jack Fafris eased in behind them. And before the puzzled Vols collected themselves, Mr.

Farris leaped up, took the pass from Blanda, and pranced over the goal, riding behind those blockers with the little leather package in his arms. Santa and his reindeers never looked better to Wildcat followers than Farris on that 11 -yard gallop. But unfortunately the run made the Vols mad, and not long after the kickoff these Orange-clad boys took the ball on a punt and hung on to it for nine full minutes and relentlessly pushed It down-field until it rested on the 12. Then Becker raced wide. U.K.

tacklers were all over him when, he flipped to Fielden, who stood in the center of a wide-open space, unmolested and unnoticed. Fielden snatched the ball, whirled, and dived over the goal. Wildcat Drive Sputtered Out. Rhodemyre cooled the Vols early in the third by intercepting an aerial, but the Wildcats couldn't muster enough stuff to take advan tage of the break, and the fourth quarter was well under way before another break upset what looked like a perfect Tennessee timetable. The Vols were pushing the Cats on the 18, threatening to score on every move, when Hensley dived into a heap and came up with the ball.

The officials awarded it to the Cats, and the move was on. We passed to midfield under full steam, and Phelps, injured earlier returned to the lineup. The stands quaked and roared. Cheer leaders jumped and cartwheeled. The coaches got off their chairs and student managers swallowed their gum.

But the spark sputtered out on the 36, and we had to punt. The' ball was partially blocked, but rolled to the 20. A quick kick put the Cats back on their heels, and on the next play a Cat pass snatched by Tennessee and Kentucky was on the ropes. Gen. Courier-Journal Photo by George Bnlley.

End George Sengel, former Manual product and one of the nine graduating seniors who played their last game on Stoll Field, also were brilliant. Bill Moseley, fullback, who also graduates, was the hardest running Kentucky back. LAST GAME Others who played their last game here today are guards Matt Lair, Hut Jones and Leo Yarutis; tacldes Wash Serini and Bill Griffin; center Jay Rhodemyre and back Farris.

Kentucky scored after seven and one-half minutes of the first quarter had elapsed. Sengel recovered a fumble on the Tennessee 42 to set up the marker. Statistics marched 76 yards to a touchdown to knot the score in the second quarter. And then the Vols, with but four minutes remaining in the game, put over the clincher. The injury-plagued Wildcats who only could use mainstays Dopey Phelps, Jack Farris and Wah Wah Jones as little more than decoys just couldn't seem to get going after their first touchdown.

Other ILK. pictureg on Page 5 and 7. They threatened several times thereafter, at least mildly once in every quarter after the first. But the spark, it seems, just wasn't there. With 14 men injured in various degrees, there wasn't anyone to ignite the explosion to send Kentucky rolling.

The fleet Phelps ihe 'Cats' breakaway artist carried the ball but twice. And his old shoulder injury, -incurred against West Virginia three weeks ago, was re-injured today. End Jones, first sidelined by an appendectomy and then harassed by an injured ankle, was in for only a few plays. It was the same story for Jack Farris, Kentucky's leading ground gainer. Playing with a bad leg as it was, Farris again was injured in the third quarter.

Against the patched-up Wildcats, whose zip or lack of it might be measured by the fact that they failed to draw a single penalty, the Volunteers managed to remain undefeated since 1935. The 'Cats won that year, but Coach Neyland was off in Panama on Army duty. Tennessee, it appeared, did not have a great or immensely inspired football team. At times, like the Cats, the Volunteers played ragged, erratic ball. But the masterful hand of strategist Neyland stretched from the bench and onto the field in crucial situations.

And it made the Volunteers click with military precision when the chips were down. He brought Tennessee back from a 6-0 disadvantage and sent the Vols on to their 26th victory against 11 losses and six ties in mis ancient rivalry began 1893. in Neyland, out to salvage his most disastrous season in 16 years this was his fourth victory against five defeats concocted a deadly mixed aerial and ground offense. SUBSTANTIAL When the Wildcats braced themselves for a pass the Volunteers smashed off small but substantial yardage through the line. When the Wildcats set up a defense against running, the Vols, led by the pitching prowess of J.

B. Proctor, completed their passes with ease. The Cats, in short, were sorely baffled on many occasions. Led by sharpshooting Proctor, Tennessee completed a whopping 12 out of 20 passes for 100 disastrous yards. Kentucky, completing eight of 17, gained 94.

On the ground, it was Tennessee 170 to 85 testimony to the fact that the Vols today tackled harder and blocked more effectively than the Wildcats. One of the bright spots again in Kentucky's play was Blanda's kicking; he averaged 38.2 yards. The running of Farris and Boiler, coupled with a short pass frm Blanda to Farris, moved the ball to the 23. Then Blanda shot another pass to Farris on the 11. Boiler failed to gain after the first down, a pass was incomplete and then Kentucky lined-up in the spread-formation it used effectively against Alabama.

Dopey Phelps was far out on the left flank, with an end and a tackle in front of him. Blanda got the pass from center, faked a flip to decoy Fhelps on the flank but instead threw the ball to Farris out to his right. He gobbled it up on the 10 and, behind five-man interference, and went over. Blanda failed to convert and it was 6-0. Tennessee bounced right back.

SCORING THREAT It started its 76-yard touchdown march late in the first quarter, controlling the ball for almost 10 minutes. The Vols, during the determined march, completed five of seven passes. When Proctor did not pass to his Continued on Page 3, Column 1 Enlarged Stadium Certain. Good nevs No announcement oft plans to enlarge the U. K.

stadium was made following a meeting here today but you may be certain of this: When U. K. plays on Stoll Field again there will be seats for at least 12,000 more spectators. Shocked Villanova scouts here to chart U. K.

plays for the Great Lakes Bowl game December 6, were "shocked" to learn that a Marquette writer had charged their team with rough play. "Our boys have drawn an average of less than 40 yards in penalties per game," said Jerry Neri, assistant coach. "You know the kind of ball you've got to play to keep your slate that clean." The same Villanova plays a brand of football similar to Kentucky's, says Whitey Lewis, sports editor of the Cleveland Press, also here to appraise the Cats. They both use the and depend on speed and deception. The teams also weigh about the same, he believes, with one exception.

John Sandusky, a tackle, tips the beam at 260 pounds. Opposing him on the U. K. line, Bill Griffin weighs 215. Damp Early rains and dark, threatening skies at game time ruined the day for scalpers.

Seats that brought $25 yesterday were going for scratch today. But no ducats went begging, and the stands were bulging when the captains met for the toss and the officials signaled for play to begin. Lexington, Nov. 22. The old saying is that every cloud has a silver lining, but 25,000 crestfallen Kentucky homecoming football fans couldn't find a silver lining in a whole sky full of clouds here today.

The weatherman provided a gloomy, damp and dark day. And General Bob Neyland's Tennessee Vols completed the sad setting by thrashing the Wildcats 13-6. Thus, when the mud-smeared Cats walked dejectedly from the mushy, rain-lashed gridiron, Kentucky ended its regular season with the same record it compiled last year seven victories against three defeats. The Wildcats failed by one touchdown to achieve their most successful season since 1909, when they won nine and lost one. And General Neyland, carried from the field on the shoulders of his jubilant, orange-jerseyed Volunteers, still held his jinx, voo-doo.

hex whatever you might choose to call it over Kentucky. He had yet to lose to a Kentucky team since taking over the Vols in 1926. TRADITIONAL For one quarter, however, it appeared as if the Wildcats might walk off with this 42d renewal of a traditionally bitter and hard-fought rivalry. Jack Farris, on a short flip from George Blanda, went 10 yards for a Kentucky touchdown midway in the first quarter. The sky still was overcast and a hazy mist dampened and chilled the homecoming fans.

But at that moment the sun couldn't have shone any brighter or cheerfully over Ole Kentucky. The silver lining lost its sterling qualities quickly, however, for Tennessee 38 Miss Harold Davis, Knoxville Sentinel photographer, got''E" for effort but paid $38 for nothing. Rushing to get pictures of the Tennessee-Kentucky game yesterday, Davis was flown to Lexington. But when he got there, the ceiling was too low and Davis' plane couldn't land. So he was flown to Cincinnati.

Still trying, Davis grabbed a cab. Thirty-eight dollars later the struggling photographer arrived at the University of Kentucky field. The game ended just about the same time and $38-poorer Davis got no picture. U. L.

The Cards, exhibiting their usual early offensive power, opened the scoring after five minutes had elapsed in the first quarter.

But the Cards came right back when Lucia again slipped between right tackle and guard to reach the Washington 4.

The held a 21-13 lead at the half on the strength of Ross Lucia's 101-yard kickoff return with only 20 seconds remaining in the second quarter. The Bears came out strong at the beginning of the second half to start a seemingly interminable offensive to clicking and narrowed the Cardinal lead to a slim 21-20 edge by the end of the third quarter. And they kept going until an inspired defensive stand by the the battered Cardinal forward wall stopped them. A pay-dirt drive that ended when Bill Joe Forrest, who saw only three plays of the game, tossed a touchdown-strike to Jack Coleman on fourth down in the final period, proved to be the turning point of the fray. AS USUAL Most of the opening Cardinal lineup played the full 60 minutes, but Joe Trabue, star halfback, and tackles Stan Hobbs, Ralph Black and Don Kidd suffered injuries early and were lost for the day.
