Vandy Dominated Play in Second Half Those two plays, combined with I.ooney's wild pitchout which went several yards behind Horton on a first down play from Tulane's early in the final period, killed any hopes the Commodores had They dominated the second half, keeping the Greenies bottled up deep in their own territory They romped up and down the field most of the afternoon but they had wet powder in their scoring guns. Art Guepe, a sad figure as he sat in the coaches' dressing room shaking his head, remarked: "We moved the ball better than we did against Kentucky.

We did a better job on defense, too. We had better punting and better passing. Tut we didn't have the scoring punch. Horton was the only back we had who did any running." While Art was talking, Kill Spears, one of Vandcrbilt's all-time greats, stuck his head inside the door "They were flat and worn out from all those tough games." Rill said. "And they flubbed crucial opportunities" That aptly sized up the Commodore performance.

Pilney Was Really Happy Over Wave' First Win Andy Pilney, naturally happy after the first Tulane wiii since the opening game a year ago, was quite complimentary of the Commodores and very proud of the 88 yards the (Ireenies traveled on 20 plays for their touchdown They hadn't scored against a Southeastern conference foe. except on an intercepted pass, until yesterday. "Vandy fought us hard all the way," Andy remarked. "Art is getting everything he can out of them. They certainly kept the pressure on us in the second half.

Fred Wilcox' one-hand interception of I lotion's pass late in the fourth quarter saved us. Caruso's great punting was a big factor in our win." Art Guepe's second half strategy in starting the pecond unit and letting them play almost 10 minutes of the third quarter was a great thing for Vanderbilt defensively The No. 2 team set an excellent example for their brethren and the varsity followed in their footsteps once they got a chance. Horton Called on Only Twice in Last Half There was some complaint on the signal-calling, especially in the second half when Horton. who played nearly IS minutes of the last two periods, was calied on only tw ice After making two first downs in a row on passes in the third quarter, the Commodores suddenly switched to an unsuccessful ground attack And they tried it again at the outset of the final period The pass that, broke Vanderbilt hearts was thrown by Horton on what appeared at the beginning to be an end sweep The only trouble with the toss was that Charlie didn't throw it far enough and it was intercepted.

Two gents who did quite a bit to wreck the Com-t adores were Guard Hryan Hurnthorne and Tackle Charlie Coates They did more damage to Vanderbilt, offensively and defensively, yesterday than any two Commodores did to Tulane Thev were the Greenies a ho opened the holes for little Willie II of, a 140-pound back who has a glass eye.

Paid Johnny Rauch, Tulane barkfield coach and former Georgia star. "Our scouts had us fearing Looney because most of the games we scouted he hit consistently although his receivers dropped a lot." Horton Was Terrific in the First Two Quarters Horton gave a remarkable performance in the first half He ground out 10) yards of the 132 yards the Commodores collected with their infantry Tulane picked up only making only one first down except on the touchdown Charlie, who had to go to the dressing room in the third ouarter to have hs banged-np hip taped, wound up with 111 yards for the day That was only 10 short of Tulane's total, When one takes a peep at the cold figures, he cannot help but wonder what happened Vanderbilt netted 32 yards rushing and passing to 142 for the Greenies The Commodores hit on 11 of 2o passes.
