Furman Coach Proud of Victory Bob King, the tall Texan who directs the Fur-man club, was as proud of the victory as Green was disappointed Until last night, he rated the win over Memphis State in 1958 as Furman's greatest since he returned to his alma mater six years ago.

was particularly Proud of their comeback after getting their first punt blocked for a touchdown," King said, taking pains to keep well-wishers away while he talked to writers who had to make deadlines. "I was certainly glad to get out with the victory. The boys made a great comeback. "We played a better game, offensively and defensively, than we did last week (against Davidson). Our second unit played exceptionally well.

"It was a mighty costly victory. Elliott Keller broke a small bone in his right shoulder and will be'lost for most of the season. He was one of our 'better runners." VU Worried King in 2nd Half King was quite complimentary of the Commo- dores. "They were a lot better defensively than on the the Furman coach pointed out. "They'll fly at you.

I like to see that kind of defense. "They really had me worried in the second half after that pass interception. Their mistakes helped us: By the same token, it was our mistakes that made Possible their touchdowns." Danny Donovan's nifty ball handling and running gave the Commodores many uneasy "moments He wound up with a net gain of only one yard bjjt this was due to Sam Sullins twice crashing through to throw him for long losses on passes One was for 15 yards. I Furman's quickness impressed everyone There was no doubt the Paladins came to play They thumbed their noses at disaster after the blocked put gave the Commodores a touchdown before many of the spectators were in their seats and drove down the field to score. 'it jt Waldrup Top Vandy Performer Fullback Bill Waldrup, the converted guard, Vanderbilt's top performer in the eyes of the coaches.

'Jt was Waldrup who blocked the punt that made Possible the first tally It was he who intercepted Dtnovan's Pass to set up the second touchdown Ahd it was Bill who carried the ball almost to the goal where he fumbled the ball over and Randy Humble feij on it for the tally Waldrup led the Vandy i taeklers, too. Dave Waller and Jon Cleveland, who operated aC; quarterback after the middle of the second quarter, came in for praise from the coaches as did Phil Brooks. Mistakes kept these boys from sharing the glory they deserved and spoiled Vanderbilt's new image and Green's debut.
