Billy Mitchell gathered in the ball on midficld and returned it to the Commodore 37. Kentucky cracked to the 23, but then an illegal procedure penalty, moved the Cats, amid groans of their partisans, to the 38. Hughes, behind splendid prolction, faded back to pass. Ho had the time to scan the fiekt carefully. Then he spotted Shively, who had outstripped his defenders, racing down the sideline, Hughes threw a perfect pass.

Shively, son of Athletic Hi-rector Bcrnie Shively (All-America at Illinois in the Bed Grange days), caught, the ball on the dead run on the eight-yard line. Ho was in the clear and scooted over easily. Hughes, who engineered (he Wildcats to a I 0 victory over Maryland last week, had won the right to open today's game over Kenny Robertson, in Iho last four contests, Coach Blanton Collier disclosed last night. However, a review of past games In which Hughes had opened, disclosed that he wasn't at his best starting, As a matter of fact, he performed belter if he watched the early stage of tho game from tho sideline, Coaches left it up to Delmar. He chose not to start.

Surging Kentucky now has annexed its fourth straight hi-iimpn, its i if hi in the last six games and fifth against three losses. Five times the jittery, highly-keyed Wildcats gave up posses-sion of the ball four limes on fumbles ami once on a pass Interception. Vandcrbilt distressed its followers equally. The Commodores had the ball taken away from them six times-four on pass interceptions and two on fumbles.

Erratic Kentucky sent the ol' grads home happy today but shaking with a case of football D.T.'s Quarterback Delmar Hughes, who rejected an opportunity to start today's homecoming game, passed and kicked the Wildcats to a chilling 7-6 victory over Vandcrbilt. Sharing the glory with Hughes was a grimly determined defensive line and sophomore end Doug Shively, recipient of Hughes' 38-yard touchdown pass late in tlie second quarter. First, though, the tumbling Wildcats who compounded their woes by also drawing penalties in critical situations "gift-wrapped" a touchdown for the Commodores early in the second quarter. Here, Vandy recovered a U.

K. fumble on the Wildcat four-yard marker and fullback Jim Butler skirted left end for the score. The extra-point attempt was wide. Whereupon Hughes went into action before 34,000 fans in a weird game played in ideal football weather. A 50-yard Lou Michaels punt, plus a crashing line, pushed Extra Point llujihcs Kicks Crucial With the clock reading 2:39 minutes of time left in the half, Hughes placed down the kickinglee for the vital extra point attempt.

It Hughes felt the pressure, he didn't show it. The ball split the uprights. It was the seventh extra-point Hughes had tallied in eight attempts this season and none was more important than this one. f7 pfiT3rf Ar Vols Jolt Ga.

Tho victory made the Vols the top choice for a Cotton or Sugar Bowl bid and gave them a good chance of replacing Oklahoma as the nation's No, 1 football team.

Line Play Rugged Fullback Tommy Bronson actually got the Vols' score midway of the third period on a one-yard plunge, but it was Majors' passes to Cruzo a Kiyard-cr lo Tech's 46 and a 45-yardcr (o the one that made it possible. But line play by both teams really was the big show.

Fumbles set up three Xavier markers; only two came as the result of bona-fidc, head-knocking drives.

However, it is to the credit of the Muskics that they took full advantage of every break Louisville tossed in their way. Although the final score would seem to register a thumping denial to the proposition, Louisville may have lost the game when it failed to score in the first quarter. The Cardinals had the ball on the Xavier four with three downs to go and then came up with minus yardage on the next three plays. Failure to By JOHNNY CARR1CO Louisville Football Coach Frank Camp probably is crying on the shoulder of Louisville basketball coach "Peck" Hickman this morning; both have suffered gross indignities from Xavier.

The one-sided flogging was an all too grim reminder of Xavier's inexplicable trouncing of Louisville's National Invitation basketball champions last winter. Xavier is getting to be a nasty score appeared to take the heart out of the Cardinals. Louisville expected a strong Muskie passing attack but it surpassed even its advance notices. Roger Bertoia, a lightweight thrower with built in radar, passed for four touchdowns and set up another with a long throw.

He completed ten of 15 heaves for 130 yards. U. L. came up with a pretty respectable aerial assault of its own in the fourth quarter but it was too late to offset Xavier's early advantage. Cardinals weren't outgained by much, rolling up a total net yardage of 273 to 291 for Xavier.

Despite Jockey Johnny Adams' vigorous urging, the son of Ponder was unable to make up any ground on Federal Hill through the stretch. Jet Colonel raced evenly all the way to get third money.

Acting for owner D. It.

Wells, Trainer M. J. Rosenthal claimed the new record holder for $3,000. Interference in mid-stretch caused the disqualification of Bon-Ru-Mar, first under the wire in the last race. The "inquiry" sing was flashed immediately after tho finish.

Bon-Ru-Mar was placed third by I he stewards after film patrol movies showed she had crowded both Bold Blue and War Secretary, tho eventual winner and second horse, The meeting's shortest double, a modest $8.40, resulted from victories by two solid favorites, Prairie State at $4.60 and Solicit at $3.60. Federal Hill strengthened Louisville's bid for a Derby victory next year by easily winning 30th renewal of the $60,515 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes yesterday at Churchill Downs. The smooth-running two-year-old son of Cosmic Bomb won the mile feature by three lengths, coasting home in front of Tranquil. Jet Colonel finished third, another three lengths back. Beaten a thin nose in the rich Garden State two weeks ago, Federal Hill's first money of $40,685 yesterday ran his total for the year to $115,202.

Heavily favored by the crowd of about 15,000 on the cool, sunny afternoon, Clifford Lussky's Federal Hill paid only $2.60 to win and $2.20 to place. Tranquil, coupled with Ice Tea as the P. A. B. Widener entry, returned $3 to place.

With only five betting interests in the field of seven, no show mutuels were sold. On-The-Ready was the first to show out of the gate as the field left the far end of the mile chute, but he quickly dropped back as Barbarian moved to the front, followed closely by Federal Hill, Admiral K. and Ice Tea. The four were only heads apart for the first quarter mile, but nearing the far turn Federal Hill began opening up.
