A CIMC MO AIweKdiL 1 Lauricella Leads Vols to 27 to 0 Triumoh Wade Hits 3TDs Six Minutes The ace tailback set up the final Tennessee score with a 33-yard gallop as he reversed his field when apparently tranced attempting to pass. Davis landed a key block on the run and Hank rewarded him on the next play when he selected Davis as the receiver on a 15-yard pass that gave Andy Kozar a starting place for his nine-yard run which closed the scoring. Pearman, Doug Atkins, Ted Daffer and Francis Holohan looked like the top Vol linemen, although there usually was so much Orange around the bluc-shirted NC backs that it was difficult to name the leading Tennessee forwards. North Carolina tried hard to make a game of It all the way, but the Vols wouldn't give. The Tar Heels made a couple of determined bids in the final period, going to the Vol nine early in the quarter and coming back to the five shortly before the contest ended.

Bob Cantt, senior wingback for Carolina, was the Tar Heels' top runner. He got four and a half yards a carry on the reverse. ball 13 times, gaining 150 yards for an average of 11.6 yards a carry. Another pretty good reason for the Vols' one-sided victory was a super-charged line spearheaded by Pug Pearman, tackle, and a host of others who are of All-America timber. But Lauricella is the fellow who'll be remembered in this game.

He broke away for one run of 45 yards as the Vols pumped down-field for their second score in the opening period. A few minutes later he dashed around end for 27 yards and the TD. Earlier he had opened the Vol parade with a 25-yard aerial to Bert Rechichar, wingback, who caught the ball unmolested in the end zone. Bert missed his first conversion attempt, but added three straight after that. The other big Vol showing was in the third period, and once again Lauricella was the key operator.

Ray Martin, defensive halfback, recovered a fumble at the Carolina 33, and two plays later Hank pitched to Bob Davis who hauled it to the one. Lauricella By JOHN BIBB, TENXESSEAX Sports Writer KENAN MEMORIAL. STADIUM, CHAPEL HILL, X. men from the other side of the mountain, Tennessee's Volunteers, methodically punched North Carolina's Tar Heels 27 to 0 here yesterday before approximately 41,000 fans. The victory was just about as had been anticipated.

The Vols were superior every way, and although Carolina's freshman-studded Tar Heels put up a good fight, it was evident from the start that the Vols were to be the winner. The 41,000 watched two quarters of as fine a football team as there is in the country. At a matter of fact, the Vols are ranked No. 1 right now, and on the basis of yesterday's performance they'll stay there again this week. Primary reason for the Vols' four-touchdown victory was tailback Hank Lauricella, a swift, deceptive youngster who's sure to be listed on All-American squads at the conclusion of the season.

Hank scored two "of the Vols' touchdowns and pitched passes for another score as well as setting up the last one. He ran the Kirkland Scores All VU Markers; Gold Wastes Many Opportunities By F. M. WILLIAMS Vanderbllt's Commodores spent six minutes yesterday afternoon beating Chattanooga, 19 to 14, and 54 others torturing some 13,000 fans who sat through a freezing, wintry afternoon to see one of the roughest football games of the season. It took Bill Wade five minutes and fifty seconds, to be exact, to 1 toss the three touchdowns that represented Vanderbilt's scoring efforts.

But after that red-hot streak, the only warmth that emanated from Dudley field all Kentucky's Brilliant Parilli Baffles Miami Hurricanes RAYMOND JOHNSON- STOLL FIELD, Lexington, Ky.

Rangy Ted Kirkland was on the receiving end of all Wade's scoring passes, the first of which came with 9 minutes and 10 seconds of the first quarter already gone and the last on the final play of the period. Vanderbilt had nobody to blame but itself for the closeness of the score. The Commodores had their chances and fiddled them away one right after the other.

And, since the game had gone that way, they had to make a brilliant goal line stand in the third period to avoid defeat. Neared Records Wade and Kirkland, after that furious first period spurt, had sports writers going for the record bonks at half time. Both had excellent chances to set new conference marks. But neither came any closer during; the final two rugged, scoreless quarters.

Wade's 203 yards gained in the first half left him just 135 short of the total gained for one game. When it was all over the only thing that had changed was Wade passing yardage. He completed five in the last halt and ran his total gain to 246. Wade Hit 14 of 28 that have hit the city by that name since 1925. Parilli's magic so completely baffled the Hurricanes that they spent all the frigid afternoon, except for brief parts of the opening period, deep in their own territory lie threw three touchdown passes to bring his season's total to 11...

But that was a minor part of his magnificent one that had the scouts talking to themselves as they left the press box. Despite the 28-degree weather that made hands brittle, Babe threw as if he were pitching a baseball game in hot weather But there were few times he threw to the receiver who was slated to take the pass when the Wildcats came out of the huddle When he saw his man was covered, Parilli bided his time while another Cat wiggled loose from Hurricane defenders Then he would throw to him Once in the third quarter Babe faked to three men before he finally threw And on each of these fakes, he per' formed so smoothly he had the Miamians chasing shadows. Miami Team Completely Demoralized by Babe "I've never seen a team so demoralized by one player as Miami was by Parilli," remarked a Southeastern conference scout sitting near me.

The game, rough but clean, ended with about 400 fans and players on the field. The tension packed stands partially emptied when a Tech back was tackled roughly by a Duke man on the final play of the game.

It was a legal play.

But then Quarterback Darrcl' Crawford elected to pass and he win never finish regretting it. As it had been doing all day, Duke's rushing line poured through on little Crawford and he had to throw as best he could. Dud Hager of Duke caught the pass instead of a Techster. He took the ball on his 15 'and ran to Tech's 35. Worth Lutz passed to Blaine Earon, Jack Kistler punched at Tech's line and on the sixth play after the interception, Lutz scored from the two.

Ray Green got his second con version and that tied the score 14-all. After the half Tech ran 11 times in a 58-yard march to a score. The second touchdown came when two big Tech linesmen Ray Beck and Lamar Wheat shattered Duke's line, Wheat deflected a Duke punt, Beck caught it and ran 52 yards to a touchdown. Duke and Tech have passed almost ns much as they have run this season but both stayed on the ground a great majority of the time yesterday.

Along the ground Vandy held al49 to 106 edge. Chattanooga played without four of its best boys. Had Dedicated Gams In fact, it appeared the boys from the eastern part of the state, had dedicated this game to their mates, Dick Hostetler, Dick Toung, Al Morley and Dick Onlskey, all of whom were Ineligible to perform because of the Southeastern conference's transfer rule. At any rate, the Moccasins got to work quickly. Two minutes after the game opened Roy Duncan fumbled and Rufus Evans, rugged Chattanooga nd who turned in an outstanding game, fell on it at midfleld.

Ledyard hit Evans on a 2o-yara pass that carried to the Com modore 24. Frank Kerchner and Earl Dukes banged the line for nine and then Vandy was penalized Hva for offsides. The Vanderbilt forward wall stopped Dukes once but on the next play Ray Stamps found a gaping hole up the middle and he went the distance for the touchdown. Bill King kicked the extra point and Chattanooga was in front with only five minutes and fifteen seconds of playing time gone. Wade, Kirkland Steal Show That set the stage for Wade and Kirkland to put on their two man show, John Dodd hauled the kickoff back from the 27 to the 38 and Vandy started moving.

R. C. Allen and Wade ran for one first down Wade passed to Roderick for another. A ten-yard run by Wade and another pass to Roderick moved to the 17 but the last play was nullified when Chattanooga was called for roughing at the 27. Vandy chose the penalty which put the ball on the 12.

Two runs got a yard and a pass to Kirkland was incomplete, but on fourth down Bill calmly threw to his favorite target again and it was a touchdown by inches as Kirkland leaped high for the catch and came (Town barely over the goal. Foster kick was wide. Once on fire, there seemed no stopping the Commodores. After a short Chattanooga punt left the ball at midfleld, Wade started clicking again. He hit Ben Roderick for 34 yards that carried to the Moccasin's 14 and after two running plays had gotten to the 11.

Kirkland got in the end zone again and Bill let him have it this time just before he stepped out of the field of play and Vandy was in front never to be headed. by 1 FORTUNATO I MS) I Staff photo by Bill Preston Short for the field goal and with Quarterback Frank (Twig) Branch holding, Polovina kicked the ball dead between the uprights to give the Maroons their second conference win this season, Tulane, after three SEC starts, Is still looking for its first conference victory. Both Mississippi Srate Coach Slick Morton and Tulane Henry Frnka started second string quarterbacks in their offenses. Gil Verdcrber, a junior from Cleveland, Ohio, started for the Maroons in place of Branch, the regular quarterback who weighs only 126 pounds. Frnka sent in Fred Dempsey of Chicago in place of Pete Clement.

But this strategy failed to spark either of the flagging offenses. Both teams matched equal blows in the line to neutralize most of the running and passing. Tulane got off to a bad start after the opening kickoff when Roy Bailey fumbled and Mississippi State recovered on the Tulane 39. With Vcrderber passing and Beach and Duplain running State punched down to the Tulane one. But Tulane held on a fourth down buck and took possession.

Fourth-Period Field Goa Nets Maroons 10-7 Win was quite complimentary of Doug Moseley and Jim Mackenzie The more he talked the more he tried to convince his listeners it was a team victory But he always wound up praising Parilli. Parilli's value was not confined to his passing and ball-handling He did some masterful punting He got off a quick kick in the second quarter that was good for 72 yards But, unfortunately, an unthinking teammate, Jim Proffitt, fell on the ball after it had rolled dead less than a yard from the Miami goal That took away 20 yards from Babe's total Still, he wound up with a 36.2 average even with two kicks rolling over the gdal when he was aiming for the coffin corner.

Miami Limited to Only 12 on the Ground Kentucky, which had expected to have a difficult time -with Miami, looked like the Southeastern conference champions of a year ago on this occasion Bear Bryant's defensive unit, supposedly the weak spot of the Cats this season, was as brilliant as was the sensational Babe Parilli Doug Moseley, Tommy Atkins, Jim Mackenzie and company did. such a wonderful job that Miami was limited to a net of only 12 yards on the ground, and 15 through the air Moseley, who also performed some on offense, and Atkins teamed as the best pair of linebackers it'ha3 been my pleasure to see this fall. Frank Smith, boomed down Miami way as a potential All-American, was bottled up all afternoon So was Jim Dooley, another highly-touted Hurricane Harry Mailtos was able to make any headway against the tight Kentucky defense Miami's passing, with Jack Hackett most of it, was ineffective against the excellent Cat covering The Hurricanes connected on only three of the 12 pitched. Cats Dominated Play After 2 Minutes in Second Kentucky improved as the game progressed When the Cats halted Miami after the Hurricanes had reached the four-yard stripe in the first three minutes following Ted tubas' recovery of a ftmble on the second scrimmage play, they seemed to gain confidence in themselves The Cats so completely dominated the play after the first two minutes of the second quarter that Bryant was able to parade several freshmen who had not previously seen service They, too, helped to make this the worst defeat Miami has suffered since 1911, and the worst of Andy Gus-tafson's coaching career.

Hordes of hard-running Maryland backs, led by Quarter-hack Jack Scarbath and Fullback Ed Modelewski behind the powerful line, battered Missouri all afternoon before 23,000 numbed fans, fans.

A soupy field, soggy from a day's rain which stopped shortly before noon, made the ball slippery and balked the passing efforts of touted passer Tony Scar-dino and the unorthodox Missouri spread formation. It was a Scardino pass that Horning hauled back for the final touchdown. Clock Mocs' Undoing Chattanooga maneuvered cagily to hold on to the ball following the kickoff until the end of the quarter, in order to take advantage of a stiff wind blowing from the south. But on fourth down they found the clock with 30 seconds to go before changing ends of the field and that proved to be their undoing. Bill Koons got off a 13-yard punt out of bounds at Chattanooga's 33 and with time for just one more play, Wade faded and threw long to Kirkland who had gone down and out.
