TH NASHVILLE TENNESSEAN, Ssturdsy Morning, Nov. 12. I960 11 nina purr Lb By JIMMY DAVY TJILLSBORO'S Burros finished the 1960 season with a rush last night, whipping arch -rival Montgomery Bell Academy 20-0 before a chilled crowd of 2,500 at Frank Andrews Field. It was Hillsboro's fourth straight victory and sweet revenge for a loss to the bitter Big Four Coutras either directly or indirectly led to the late Burro touchdowns. Turbeville leaped on a Big Red bobble early in the fourth quarter on the MBA 27-yard line when Atkins was racked up on a soaring Burro punt by Boese.

Seven plays later fullback Wilton Burnette rammed into the end zone from five yards out (Continued on Pago 14) Boese Leads Advance for Teams Only Big 4 Victory rival by the identical score last November. FULLBACK Larry Boese, a 175-pound senior playing his last game, headed Hillsboro's offensive with 112 yards rushing and one touchdown. Boese, finding gaping holes in the middle of a weary MBA forewall, scored the last Burro tally with 25 seconds left to play. He rammed up the middle for 13 yards to score after carrying the ball on every play of the pull off their only Big Four win this year and dump MBA into the cellar. HALFBACK Bill Cochrane, a 145-pound junior, broke the scoring ice early in the first period when he hauled back an MBA punt 56 yards for a touchdown.

A Record Crowd Will See 4 I Vols at Mental Peali 3vif innnwnu jvi mown AUBURN, Ala. This college town will ring with "War Eagle" cries today as it has never rung before Auburn is playing host to Georgia, its oldest rival, for the first time, although they-have met 63 times since their first game on Washington's birthday in 1892.

The largest crowd ever to fm TENNESSEE ha3 been known to win under more adverse circumstances than those confronting it today. Nobody knows this more than Ole Miss, for the Rebels have often been on the short end of the score when, by all odds, they should have been the victor. Many members of this group were here two years ago when a woefully weak Tennessee club won an 18-16 decision on little Gene Etter's 75-yard run. They remember that first hand, those boys, now seniors, and all the others on Johnny Vaught's 41 -man squad, have been told at least a thousand times this week that they can make history in this game by becoming the first Ole Miss club to gain a verdict on Shields-Wat-kins Field. THIRTEEN times the school has sent a football team to Knoxville, and By F.

M. WILLIAMS TENNESSEAN Sport Writer KNOXVILLE Considering nothing more than mental preparedness and will to win, there is little to choose between Mississippi and Tennessee in their vital Southeastern Conference football game here this afternoon. Considering nothing more than material, the Johnny Rebels from the Mississippi cotton country rate a two-to-three touchdown advantage. BOTH OF these are factors in the outcome of any grid contest. There is one other breaks.

It is here that Tennessee is basing its main hopes of scoring an upset that will keep it in the running for the conference championship and a post-season bowl game. It is because of "breaks" and other intangibles that affect the outcome of any athletic contest that the injury-riddled Vols go into the battle no more than a seven-point underdog. i 1 II 4 Jake Gibbi His Aerials Are Feared see a football game in this state, approximately 47,000, will fill every seat and aisle to see these ancient rivals Not since Maryland played Ole Miss at Oxford in 1953 has the South had a football game that created the traffic jam that will be in this section today It's the day the old grads long have waited for, although last week was homecoming. The Tigers, who are generally conceded to have as good and probably the best conference team now, were knocked out of the conference race last fall when Georgia came from behind to snatch a last minute 14-13 victory Many think they will pour it on the Bulldogs, now a 9-point underdog Others see it as a real thriller. "WE BELIEVE we've got to score at least three touchdowns," stated Ralph Jordan yesterday after his squad had limbered up.

What amazes our scouts is that Georgia can score so quickly from any position on the field." Ed Dyas, Auburn's great fullback, is hale and hearty and that makes Jordan feel better as he thinks about Georgia. "Dyas is a pressure player," Ralph says. "He's more likely to produce under pressure than any other time. He's extremely intelligent and poised and works as hard as any back we've ever had. He's in a class with the finest backs ever to play for A burn.

"Any further possible changes will probably come as a reaction from major league expansion, and I dont expect that to reach us for some years yet," he said. straight, Including a 40-8 decision to Tulane two weeks ago. VANDY's starting lineup probably will include three sophomores, one of them In a first-string assignment for the first time.

He's Terrell Dye, a halfback from Chattanooga. The other sophs In Vandy's No. 1 unit are guard George McGugin and end Bruce Hammer. Dye is the likely replacement at right half for Charlie Funk, Lineups on Page 13. lete he would be describing Dyas." The value of Dyas to the Tigers could not be more clearly indicated than it was early this fall He was hurt in early September drills and missed the first three games That is, he missed them as far as carrying the ball, blocking or tackling But he won one of them the Kentucky game 10-7 with a field goal.

ED WON TWO other games with field goals, too It was his toe that beat Florida 10-7 and Georgia Tech 9-7 What's more, he has kicked a field goal in every Auburn game this fall, making good on 11 of 16 attempts He also has been successful on 24 of 29 conversion attempts. Rallied From Late Start Although he missed the first three games, Dyas ranks seventh in the conference in ground gaining In 52 carries he has collected 283 yards, an average of almost 5 12 per attempt Only Tu-lane's great back, Tommy Mason, and Tennessee's Red Glass have better averages and Glass hasn't car-' ried as often as Ed. Jordan points out that Dyas has been his leading ground gainer in all four conference wins Last week he scored 21 of the 27 points rolled up against Mississippi State Ed carried 10 times against Tech, playing only the first halfbut gained 50 yards, most of it on key first downs as Auburn ran up a 9-0 half-time margin. He's a Whiz and a Wizard Dyas was forced to become Auburn's first string fullback three seasons ago when he was a 17-year-old sophomore But shouldering that responsibility didn't hurt his classroom work.

It's no wonder Coach Jordan says that "If I could diagram the qualities I would want in an athlete, it would be describing Dyas." 3 Other All-America Possibilities Dyas isn't the only Ail-American possibility who will be in action here today Ken Rice, the 6-2, 254 pound Auburn tackle, is one of the nation's top lineman Rice, exceptionally fast for a big man, has contributed key plays in several games. On the other side of the line will be Francis Tarken ton, one of the finest passers ever to step on a gridiron, and Pat Dye, an All'American guard a year ago Their performances today will be the subject of much discussion when the committee of the Football Writers Association meets in Atlanta tomorrow to put together their 22-man squad. One thing is certain, Jordan will not have to worry about Tarkenton's passing or Dye's defensive play after today Neither will Wally Butts be worried with Dyas and Rice in the future All four are seniors, which makes other coaches happy, too.
