There was loss than 20 minutes left in the duel when Eveland fumbled and from that point on the game was Vamlerbilt's.

Tabor the Terror Memphis' Jim Tabor, senior fullback, was the terror of the Commodores' last quarter surge. He tallied two of Vandy's four touchdowns and personally accounted for all of the yardage on the second drive which tied the count with 2:10 minutes of the final period gone. Vandy's Hill Wade to Eueky Curtis combination was held "hitless" for the first time this year. Curtis left the game late in the fourth quarter after be the clock.

Three plays later Cobb swept around left end for IS yards for a first down on the Vandy 25. Williams carried four straight times and the Tigers had a first on tle Vandy seven. Cobb broke up the act with a four-yard end run, then Williams took a couple of cracks at the line, finally banging over from the one for the score. Berry's attempted placement was wide to the right. Vanderbilt moved back to State's 35 following the kickoff, but on third down Wade slipped (Continued on Page 3) He suffered a bruised lip.

Wade Passing Falters Wade didn't complete a pass until the last period and it was Malcolm Cook and Ted Kirkland who were on the receiving end. W.iile attempted nine aerials, completing three and having one intercepted. Junic Graves, reserve quarterback, tossed one to Allan Drash for a three-yard loss in the final quarter. John Cobb and Alex Williams were the Memphis offense. Playing tailback, Cobb engineered both of State's touchdowns, and Williams was a threat all afternoon running from the spin series in the Memphis single-wing attack.

The Commodores managed to get only one scoring opportunity, and that came midway of the second period when Vandy went to State's 2S after a penalty had pushed Memphis to their own seven and Cook hauled back a 32 yard punt to the 34. Tabor missed getting a first down by what must have been less than an inch nt the 25. On the next play.

Ole Miss Mistakes Helped Vols Ole Miss' mistakes, mental and mechanical, were most helpful to the Volunteers Polofsky's interception, followed by Hank Lauricella's 17-yard sprint to the seven, was the first of six breaks that went Tennessee's way Two of these were turned into touchdowns Another probably prevented the Rebels from scoring That occurred late in the second quarter when, with only inches needed for a first down on Tennessee's 12-yard stripe, the Rebels fumbled They fumbled six times and lost the ball on four occasions They had two passes intercepted and both of these preceded touchdowns. Bill Pearman came up with the feature defensive play when the Rebels were stopped on the 12 in the second quarter He dashed through the line and hit the ball with his head as he attempted to stop Dottley It bounded a dozen yards up field where Lindy 'Callahan fell on it But it was fourth down and the ball went over to the Volunteers Pearman was hurt on the play but he returned to action in the last half again to be one of the defensive stars, just as he was against North Carolina two weeks ago. Vaught's Daffy Defense Causes Trouble Johnny Vaught came up with a daffy defense that caused the Vols plenty of headaches lie used an eight-man line with three men in the secondary lined parallel across the field about eight or nine yards behind the line of scrimmage Frequently they went into a seven with one Rebel looping Tennessee's tackles. Tennessee had more success stopping the Rebel attack than it had against any other split-T offense this fall Ole Miss ground out 193 yards with the heroic John Dottley picking up 78 of these on 22 attempts and Showboat Boykin adding 58 on 12 Lindy Callahan, junior halfback, was another who gave the Volunteers plenty of trouble Wilson Dillard.

a sophomore, almost got away on a punt in the third period He streaked 35 yards up the sidelines to the Vol 46 before he was knocked out of bounds. Lauricella Runs Harder Than Ever Hank Lauricella ran harder than anytime this season He also did some fair passing, connecting on four of eight But he still isn't throwing as well as he did last fall He frequently turns loose the ball off balance and as a result either underthrows or overshoots his receivers Hank caught the Rebs napping on a 15-yard fake pass run in the first period Dick Ernsberger, who relinquished the starting fullback role to Andy Kozar when he was hurt just before the Alabama game, brought smiles to Bob Ney-land with his fine running yesterday He sped 32 yards for a tally but one of his teammates was caught using his hands illegally and the run was nullified. Vols Score Four TDs From Rebel Mistakes Tennessee's first four, touchdowns started from Rebel mistakes Polofsky's interception of Rocky Byrd's pass and 33-yard return to the Ole Miss 33 set up the first one A third one followed when the Rebels had Tennessee stopped in its own territory, started the second one and it was further aided by an interference call on Lauricella's pass to Bert Reel ichar Bruce Bradley had tripped Bert Callahan's fumble which Rechichar recovered on the Vol 30 and came three plays before Kozar's long touchdown sprint Bud Sherrod intercepted Byrd's pass at midfield and returned to the Reb 40 to start the fourth score Ernsberger's fine running accounted for the final one. Cat Coach Highly Impressed With Vols Frank Moseley, Kentucky backfield coach who spied on the Vols yesterday for the first time this fall, was highly impressed with their running He rated Tennessee a much better club than a year ago off this performance Neyland, who was fearful the Volunteers were looking over Ole Miss to the Wildcats, was well pleased with the performance of his club, except for the fumbling The Orangemen were guilty of five, losing the ball on two occasions Mistakes of this kind could beat the Vols when they tangle with Kentucky in the game "of the day next Saturday On the other hand Tennessee's alertness could upset the Cats It certainly paid off here yesterday as it did against Alabama four weeks ago.

It was the first Big Ten loss for Ohio State, ranked last week as the nation's top team in the AP poll. Muffled on the ground as never before this season, the Illini peeked at the Buckeyes' weakest spot, pass Tennessee Coach Bob Neyland said he was "proud of my boys."

Lauricella Halts Rebs Lauricella helped turn back the Rebels' hardest try. Wilson Dillard took a punt, evaded three tacklers and went 33 yards before Lauricella tacked him head-on. The Vol line did the rest. Dottley and Callahan alternated with pitchouts to make a first down on Tennessee's four. Dottley and Boykin then worked the ball to the one.

But the Vol line held. Next to Dottley, Showboat Boykin was Clo Miss' biggest gun, logging 58 yards in 12 tries. Callahan picked up 47 yards in seven attempts. A rotiple of breaks were doubly tough for Mississippi. They halted defense, and clicked superbly before a rapacity throng of 71,119 magnificent little quarterback Gilbert Bartosh fought the Longhorns stubbornly and tied up the gamo early In the third period.

But the pulverizing Texas line, furious Fullback Byron Townsend and alert secondary paid off with two touchdowns in less than four minutes deep in the final period. A 79-yard quick kick by Town-send put TCU in a deep hole and when Texas took over on the return punt the Steers were on the Horned wild fans. The win, the mini's fourth in five league games, showed them ahead of Wisconsin in their torrid duel for the Bowl bid. Each has one more game to play. Little Fred Major, wearing a chin mask to protect a broken jaw bone, faked a jump pass in the first two minutes of the second quarter and finally fired the ball to Don Stev Frogs' 34-yard line.
