M. WILLIAMS ART GUEPE listened to his Vanderbllt Commodores chirp during a two-hour drill for Alabama, and said yesterday: "I really believe they're look ing forward to playing a good football team.

They are not Intimidated. "Of courts these young men know their limitations, but some funny things happen in football game and we're hoping come of them happen in our favor Saturday night in Bir mingham." The Commodores went through what could only be called a comprehensive work out yesterday. They checked the offense they hope to run against Alabama, went over defenses, concentrated on punting, klckoffs and extra points. It was completely devoid of contact work, "THERE WAS a great deal of spirit on the field, and I like that," Guepe said. Then the Commodore coach turned to talking about Alabama.

"I believe this is a different type of team than what we've been accustomed to at Alabama," he said. "In the last three or four years they have been rough and tough, but not too polished. "These players still are tough, they still play terrific defense, but they have added finesse. They are polished, and for the first time in recent years, they have an offense to go with their defense. "THEY HAVE the material to get the Job done the easy way, and they take that way, just as other football teams with the same capabilities do.

"I can't remember seeing a sophomore quarterback with the poise of Joe Namath, And that Richard Williamson is a fine pass receiver who can get open."

Most encouraging news of all, from the hospital list, came with the return of halfback Bob Sullins to full speed.

Sul-11ns hurt his shoulder early in the Georgia game, but yesterday appeared to be as ready as ever, "THE INJURY was to the shoulder that was operated on in his freshman year," Guepe said. "It was pretty sore for a couple of days, but one thing the injury proved is that the operation was a success. Nothing came loose inside and Sullins will be okay." Word from Alabama yesterday was that 35,000 tickets have been sold for the game and that attendance is expected to go over 40,000. The kickoff is at 8 p.m. 69 Individual tackles and 31 assists this season, according to Pearl statisticians.

This is a fantastic record and possibly the No. 1 reason that Meigs, Jackson Merry and Louisville Central have managed only a total of 12 points on the Tiger defensive unit. Defensive records also show that Pearl linebacker Early Corley has 24 tackles and 12 assists. COACH CLAXTON STAR. NES at Cameron says regular halfback George Thompson and fullback Joe Jones are doubtful starters this week against Jackson Merry Both have ankle Injuries.

"Merry is a tough football team," Starnes warned yesterday. "I'm worried that our boya aren't taking the game seriously. We're just not hitting in practice." 4- HAYNE3 currently is rolling along with a 2-0 mark, thanks mainly to tailback Jimmy Bowers, a 150-pound senior frohi the Old Hickory community. "Bowers has gained 300 yards In our first two games," Haynes coach Howard Sims said yesterday.

NOW THEY'VE undergone the acid test," McDonald de clared, "and with a game under their belts, I think these young fellows win begin to show marked improvement. In fact, they should get better in every game. "Already I can see a differ ence on the practice field They ve looked much improved this week on pass defense." And as has been pointed out earlier, tne wingoacks will have more ball-carrying assignments In fu ture games." The sophomores did pretty good job blockina Sat urday, even though they had to fight of an expected case of jitters. I think they got the butterflies out of their Back to pass defense, McDon ald said Paty and Waff man aged to conform to "cardinal rules" in the clash with Auburn, A pass defender must keep his eye on tne Dan and keep posi tion on the intended receiver that is prevent him from getting behind the pass defender. Both our sophomore wlngbacks were ble to do as much in the Sat urday opener." THOUGH AUBURN managed to pass freely against UT, not all the blame should be cast on the secondary.

In fact, Vol line coaches already have agreed that a big share of the Tigers' overhead success could be at tributed to a slow-rushing Vol line. The Vols, warming up for their Saturday battle with Mississippi State at Memphis, worked on both offense and defense at half speedin yesterday's practice session. Though Hudson Field was left soggy by a long, steady rain, head coach Bowden Wyatt made no revisions In his schedule.

16th and Brood Phone Al 6-8145 Jim Davis By TOM POWELL 1 TENNESSEE Tech, stunned by its first Ohio Valley Conference football defeat since 1958 last week, Is in danger of losing two league games in a row when tough East Tennessee State comes to Cookeville Saturday. However, Tech coach Wil-burn Tueksr gave an Indication of how badly Tech wants this one when he said yesterday, "We've never loot four in a row since I've been here and I'd hate to atart now." (Tech's record for the year Is 0-3, having lost its two non-conference claoheo.) First string end Terry Evans was more emphatic when he stated, "I guarantee you we won't lose another conference game. We were pitiful against Chattanooga and still should have won. That loss to More-head came as a real shock to some of the fellows on this club and may have stirred up a few." A GLANCE at Tech's tentative starting lineup against the Bucs reveals that four men who were regulars at the beginning of the year are now on the second team and one has dropped all the way to the third. Don Phillips and Jsrry Wsbb have replaced Ivan I 1 1 and Glsnn Sexton so tackles, Leon Tidwoll has token ever a guard post In place of Bob Borkowoki, and Lonnle Warwick hoo jumped to firot otrlng end.

Donnie Farley, who otarted oil laot year, is now drilling with the third unit. Perhaps the most significant change finds diminutive (5-8) Jake Llbbey replacing Jim Ragland at quarterback. Explaining this move, Tucker said, "Jake seems to give the team a little more sip when he's in there." LIBBEY played most of bJTr.
