Proctor, a Nashville boy, had pitched Bob Neyland's rugged gridders to a touchdown in the fading minutes of the second period after the Commodore forward wall had completely bottled up, Tennessee's funning attack. Bobby Berry gave Red Sanders' aroused boys, who played one of their finest games of the season, an early lead when he exploded for a 58-yard run and a touchdown five minutes before the half ended. 40,000 Cheer Runs Berry's run shared the headlines with Littleford's game-winning dash.

After picking The city of Nashville is now given an opportunity to clean up a traffic situation that has become intolerable to motorists, dangerous to pedestrians, and vexing to riders of our city busses.

Almost a nightly cry through the streets is the siren of an ambulance speeding to an accident, or the shriek of worn-out brakes in sudden stopping. Laxness is here in full force and measure, and what is a thril and minor mischief to a driver is too often death and destruction for some innocent. We have had enough of these jams in city streets, of bumper-to-bumper slow parades, of traffic direction that sometimes has been plain incompetent and sometimes just plain lazy. With the starting of the one-way street system in the central area tomorrow, engineering skill has done its best to straighten out our tangled traffic so that the flow might be more orderly and swift. A blueprint, however, gives but the guiding lines, and it will take more than a few yellow marks on the asphalt and languid, blue-armed waving to set our motorists aright.

We have been promised an all-out enforcement drive, even minor infractions will be up for punishment, but too often these drives come to nothing, battered and bruised by being kicked around. It is not enough to have two or three zealous officers interested enough in public safety and in curbing the bad manners of many drivers to make the needful arrest. It will not do to tolerate any longer the motorist loafing at 20 miles an hour, or straddling dividing lines, a haphazard menace to those trying to pass him by. We are not asking for boisterous or rude behavior from our traffic policemen, but some swift, efficient, without-fear-or-favor enforcement that will let the motorist drivet in comfort and the pedestrian cross the street in the' safety to which he is entitled. While none of this will come about unless our traffic officers show more zip and enthusiasm than in the past, an equal responsibility rests on Nashville citizens.

Will they be content to have things go on as they have been, themselves contributors to their own discomfort? Are they pleased with the traffic situation, anxious to leave the snarl as it is? Will they hesitate to back our Mayor in this drive? The present opportunity puts the issue squarely up to ourselves, our traffic policemen and their superiors. If it be wasted, we shall know that the blame lies in a disinterested citizenry and a disillusioned police force. If not, the credit for a well-mannered motoring public and a pedestrian population that can use the streets without flinching will be ours in common. kind of liquid, compound."
