"It's impossible to play tough teams week after week and not have a letdown. I don't care who it is, they're bound to have those off if they don't have some breathers. The players are human and you know yourself if you go at a terrific pace for a few weeks you get to the place where you have to rest a little if you are to do your best. "It's the same way with football players and football teams.

"Tennessee was flat today, and I'm not trying to take Proctor Shines Former Cohn Gridder Connects With Pcmes In Futile Vol Rally By LUMAN WELLS 7 Tennesson Sports Writer KNOXVILLE Wake Forest's demon Deacons stomped Tennessee's Rose Bowl hopes to a pulp here yesterday afternoon with an amazing lfl to 6 victory over the Vols before a surprised crowd of 25,000. Keen, fighting fury throughout' the game gave the vastly underrated Deacon eleven one of tho blgRest upsets in the nation. The offense minded Deacons were the fifth team ever to score anything away from Wake Forest when I say that. I expect you'll find the same was true with Texas and Arkansas. Look who they've been playing.

There had to be a letdown." That, to our way of thinking, was the best explanation for the downfall of highly-touted Tennessee, which looked unbeatable against Alabama a week ago.

Vol Line Fails Tennessee's line was not the wall that faced Alabama last week. It never achieved the peifection that had given the Vols a perfect record in four games this season. It was a good line but not nearly good enough to stop the Deacons. Wake Forest had a surprise package for the Vols when Fullback Richard (Rock) Brinkley plowed into the fray and literally, ripped Tennessee to shreds. Brink- press box.

Naturally everyone was anxious to find out about Wake Forest and North Carolina State. The latter beat Wake Forest 14-6 last week. "Unless. Wake Forest goes to throwing the ball around, Tennessee is going to get'beat today," Suffridge prophesied while several in the press box held back their laughs in politeness. "Wake Forest's got a better team than we have.

They have a great line and some fine backs. Tennessee's not ready for this one and I think they'll get beat." tg Then, as he started away, Bob said: "We'll lose today, too. We're not ready mentally." Suffridge was just as correct on both predictions as he used to be when he would charge through an opposing line to a ball carrier. Moore thinks the ex-GIs are partly responsible for the reversals of form. Vols A-Wakened Staff Photo by Charles Cowden however.

Vanderbilt was offside. Moving into Moore's path is C. Schroll, Tiger center (50) and Hall (69), a guard. Out at the right as the spearhead of the Vandy interference is Guard Ken Cooper (68). Five futile yards were picked up by J.

He more than atoned for his errors against the Wolfpack, for Tennessee's defense wilted to a jelly when Brinkley came crashing through. The big 210-pound Deacon punched the Vols around to net 45 yards from scrimmage, more than anyone else on the field. Wake Forest Scores Wake Forest scored latev In the opening quarter and there was never any doubt thereafter that the Vols were flat.

They rallied to Virgil Eikenberg Pitches Aerial Strikes To Give Owls Advantage By HAROLD V. RATLIFF "I think Bernie was most generous in not piling up the score," Sanders stated in the dressing room after the game. "We didn't have any business on the field with his team with our little boys and in our condition. You just can't play 130-pound backs in this league. "LSU is big and very powerful.

They have larger boys than when I was down there. We're lucky to get out as light as we did. "I thought our pass defense showed a big improvement," Red added. "Moore's punting was great." Plenty of Fine Backs Louisiana State presented the hardest running backs" we have seen this fall and we have cast our peepers on Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Florida. Harrel (Rip) Collins, a sophomore fullback; Al.

Heroman, a freshman tailback; Burly Zollie Toth, freshman fullback; Ray Coates and Jim Cason, both junior tailbacks; Dan Sandifer, junior winojback; and Red Knight, senior fullback, are ball carriers who outclass any other group in the conference we have seen this fall. and they'll give you three or four good games during the season. They are just rusty from the layoff. Some days they'll have it down pat and others they'll miss." Vancly Slumps Vanderbilt appeared to have a letdown' against Louisiana State yesterday. The Commodores certainly didn't play as they did against Florida.

But there is a vast difference between Florida and LSU. They don't belong in this same league. The Commodores were in Wetched condition for the Tigers who probably could have won by 30 or more points if Bernie Moore had wanted to pour it on Red Sanders' little team. Harry Robinson, Tex Robertson and Fred Hamilton were unable to play even one minute with the team last week. Everette Holt, John North and Jim Baughn worked very little, due to injuries.

Sanders Grateful Red Sanders was most grateful to Bernie Moore, who used 43 players.
