But Chattanooga here last night The clock operator, Frank Copeland, ran off the first quarter in 19 minutes elapsed time which some press box figure filberts claim is the fastest in history. That was quite a contrast to the last time the Commodores and Mocs met here, which was back in 1928 Two inexperienced timekeepers, chosen by the rival coaches just before the game, allowed the first quarter to consume more than 45 minutes of playing time This affair, staged back before night football, was finished in almost total darkness Last night's first half was run off in 51 minutes and the entire game in two hours and seven minutes But for an injury to a Moccasin in the fourth period it would have been three or four minutes shorter.

Never Any Doubt About Eventual Outcome There was little, if any, doubt about the outcome from the start, although the Commodores were unable to score in the opening period They blew a touchdown when a Goldman was detected using his hands illegally on Mac Robinson's touchdown sprint that ended Vandy's march that began with the opening kickoff.

Don Shephard was the top defensive player for the Yanks while Binkleygained most of the North yardage. The running of Breedlove and the defensive play of Farmer topped Cumberland's efforts. The game, one of the three Interscholastic league tilts not postponed by rain, was played in a steady drizzle and the muddy field hampered the attack of both teams.

It was North's fourth win in This Grab Broke SEC Record cal play that gave the Commodores their opening score on Arkansas a week ago The only difference was that Joe Allen tried to pick up the greasy pigskin skidding in the mud and he lost his footing after touching it The Moccasins recovered on the two and Frank Erwin crashed over on the first scrimmage play. Last Score Came Seven Seconds Before End A fumble by R. C. Allen was recovered by Steve Hogya, a fine defensive man, deep in the Vanderbilt territory and gave Chattanooga its other touchdown seven seconds before the game's end At this time Bill Edwards had his reserves on the battle front to try to give them some experience for the future The Moccasins did a great job after recovering the fumble on Vandy's 27 They went the distance in four plays, all on foot, in one minute and nineteen seconds They were in and out of the huddle and off almost before Referee Red Cavette got back out of the way they were so anxious. Davidson's Running Was Best Since Freshman Year Dean Davidson hasn't run better since he was a freshman than he did on his three touchdown gallops last night He turned on the steam when he scored the second one, running over Jimmy Jumper and Sani Hurt who attempted to bring him down at the five Dean went six yards for the first touchdown without the aid of any blocking, his interferer missing his man completely Dean took a pitchout and streaked 11 yards around left end for his third one.

Irvin Berry's touchdown gave the spectators some added thrills Irvin came up very fast to try to get the ball away from Hank Niebank as the Moc back juggled Ledyard's pass Berry grabbed it and without breaking his stride, sped 23 yards without a hand touching him to score the fifth and final touchdown It was Berry's fourth interception of the season. Foster Within Inches of Going 90 for TD Dick Foster came within inches of going 30 yards for a touchdown on a kick early in the final quarter He wiggled his way through the Moccasins, twice shaking off would-be tacklers, and was in the clear when his own man accidentally pushed him Dick lost his footing and sprawled to the ground on his own 39 Jim Tabor picked up more than twice as much yardage as the entire Chattanooga backfield He gained 71 yards on nine trials Mac Robinson had 61 for 10 efforts and Davidson 54 for 10 Dean also added 19 on a pass from Bill Wade The Moccasins were limited to 30 yards rushing while Vandy reeled off 262 The pass yardage favored the 77 to 15. Outstanding Defensive Man Was Fred Kerchner Fred Kerchner, a five-11 sophomore, was the outstanding defensive man of the game He not only did a magnificent job of covering Bucky Curtis but he recovered the fumble that gave the Mocs their first touchdown He knocked down three passes aimed at Bucky Curtis and intercepted another The latter, however, was to Vandy's advantage because it was a fourth down pass that Wade threw from Chattanooga's 45 and which was intercepted on the eight. Kerchner was generally the first Moc down the field on punts And speaking of punts, Wimpy Golden punted late in the fourth quarter for 42 yards (Continued on Page 11) Berry Hill Lumber Co.
