He didn't go all the way, however, stumbling over a fellow Commodore after gaining 49 yards on a punt return. Vanderbilt's first break came when Smith's punt hit Mason on the noggin and End Bob Laws recovered at the Tulane 40. But the drive stalled when a 15-yard clipping penalty all but nullified a 17-yard pass from Smith to Phil King.

Another scoring chance flopped when King dropped the ball at the Tulane 11 after a 36-yard march. Mason recovered the ball. This drive actually wasn't entirely wasted, however, for on the next play Quillian dropped it and Smith recovered on the just as he crossed the goal. Boyce set up the TD by recovering a fumble at the Tulane 17. For the Commodores it was a carbon-copy of last week's mistake-marred losing effort against Kentucky.

For Tulane it was a spirited victory, which enabled the Wave to keep intact its record of not having lost at Dudley field since 1927. "We threw away too many chances to hope to win," Vandy's Coach Art Guepe said after the battle. "We managed to take advantage of our opportunities," was Tulane Coach Andy Pilney's view from the other side of the field. Three times in the first half Vandy missed scoring chances and once in the third quarter Sophomore Danny McCall, virtually surrounded by teammates, By JOHN BIBB OUARTERBACKS Gene Newton and Fred Wilcox triggered Tulane touchdown marches yesterday as the Green Wave came from behind to upset Van-derbilt, 13 to 6, before 22,000 fans at Dudley field. The Greenies drove 54 yards in the second period to tie the score on Claude Mason's four-yard end sweep.

They won the game in the third quarter, smashing 71 yards with Fullback Ronie Quillian bounding over from the one for the touchdown. Vandy's single score came early in the second period on a neat bit of action by Quarterback Boyce Smith. Trapped attempting to pass, Boyce tucked the ball under his arm and raced for the corner of the end zone.

Then two minutes after the third period opened, Tommy Bronson intercepted a pass and raced 52 yards for the tip-breaker. After that Tennessee handled the Johnny Rebels just about as It pleased to score its eighth straight victory and move on toward its New Year's day engagement in the New Orleans Sucar bowl.

The Rebels cams to this on yipping and yelling and tasting the blood of the Nation's No. 1 football team, but by the time it was over they were thoroughly tamed and shouting uncle. It wa-s the second straight week that Coach Wyatt's second team has been forced to serve as a salvage crew, and for the second straight time It was equal to the call. Tennessee, which climbed atop the national ratings by a slender margin after beatin? Georgia Tech, 6 to 0, last week, found itself reeling under a punch that landed flush on the button and produced a Mississippi touchdown two minutes and 45 seconds after the opening kickoff. But the Vols, proving their right to championship claim, reacted by scratching and clawing like a wounded tiger in danger of its life, managed to hang on until Gordon pumped a supply of oxygen into the reserves.

From that point, Tennessee pot better and Ole Miss got worse, or at least that's the way things looked. After Taige Cothren missed a field goal try from the 13-yard line in the waning minutefl of the second quarter, Ole Miss never pot clos again. In fact, the Rebels made just one first down and pained only 19 yards rushing in the last two periods. It was a futile ending to a fantastic beginning for the Rebels, who opened with a recklessness that was aimed at stupendous victory or utter catastrophe, and catastrophe It was as they dropped their third decision of the season. Taking tha opening kickoff at Its own 31, Mississippi rolled in seven playa for a touchdown with Raymond Brown, a rifle-armed quarterback, passing: for most of the distance.

The big play was a 39-yarder from Brown to Lea Paslay that carried to the two-yard line, and Brown came around right end for the touchdown. Big Cothren kicked the extra point and the Rebs pranced back up the field like a bunch of hopheads with a fresh shot of heroin. They played that way, too, until Brown fumbled on hia own 36-yard lino and Bob Gleavea recovered for Tennessee, after the second period bad more than halfway elapsed. It was Gordon and Carl Smith who punched away at the Ola Miss line to g-et that touchdown, with Gordon coming through twice on third down situations with runs backed by such determination that no human being had much chance to stop him. The first was for 11 yards just after passing the line of scrimmage that had a Rebel tackle grasping thin air.

The second went for 14 yards to the one. That was the big play, the one that paid off It came 12 plavs alter the Commodores almost broke open the game on Danny McCall's -10 yard punt return Dannv had the misfortune on this spectacular run to fall' over his fellow townsman. Bob Laws, as he was dreaming of a touchdown. It wasn't all Laws fault, however Bob attempted to block Bonnie Quillian but the Tulane fullback, who finished second to Phil King in the ground-gaining battle for the day, knocked Bob back into McCall The result was that Danny stumbled and went down on Tulane's 30 And this threat died on the 29 after the Commodores had made a first down. The Errors Were Spread Among Many Ten fumbles, evenly divided and also evenly recovered, were crammed into this battle of the cripples There were also three pass interceptions Once Don Orr attempted a lateral after a 20-yard run and Mason, who was pursuing in an effort to make the tackle, grabbed the ball on his own Ifi Tulane moved from there for its first score.

Mistakes were so numerous that Tulane had 12 tnen on the field when it attempted the conversion after its third period touchdown 'The officials penalised the (ireenics five yards and after one player left the field, T.tnmett Tulane tackle, converted for the second time. Two Foxy Plays Brightened The Afternoon Despite the errors, there were some plays that were beautiful to watch One was Boyce Smith's touchdown run of eight yards on the third play of the second quarter Smitty faked a pass that drew the Greenic secondary to the west side of the field Then he raced around his right end and into the end zone. Newton, who lost a tooth in the first quarter and was sick from swallowing blood, outfoxed the Commodores in this same period with some beautiful maneuvering lie sent Quillian into the middle of the line on third down from the four yard line after the Greenies had been stopped cold on the two previous plays But Gene kept the ball and started wide off his left tackle Just as the Commodores realized he had the ball, Newton pitched out to Mason who was rear the sidelines and Claude went over without an opponent in yelling distance. Tulane Held It Out There I Vandy Didn't Take It "We played a real good game in that we gave them several opportunities and then held them," Pilney pointed out. "Our pass defense was much improved.

We worked all week with Newton and Wilcox alternating at quarter and left halfback and that was a big factor in our favor today. "This was a game where either could have broken it wide open if he had had some fresh replacements. Both teams were very tired in the late stages and neither had any reserves because of all the injuries." Art Guepe summed up the defeat tersely: "We didn't take advantage of our opportunities. Tulane did." And that was the story, folks. FOOTBALL I I I SEC Tulane 13; VANDERBILT 6.
