The Gold and Black gridders, rising to heights unbelievable of a tram which had dropped five games this fall prior to today, administered a beating to Tennessee as few of Major Bob Neyland's teams have been shellacked since he came to "the WINNERS OUTCLASSED Vanderbllt didn't win. It didn't even score. But the Commodores came within inches of a touchdown and they completely outplayed the Vols, who are ranked as the No.

Major Bob Neyland, like his aides nd his players, were overjoyed at the victory but they freely admitted that they hadt been gjven a sound whipping deVplte the "numerals on the scoreboard. "I feel that Vandvdeserved the victory," Major Neyland said after the thrill-packed struggle, which attracted 2S.000 fans. "We won the game, but Vanderbllt was the best team on the field today." SHOULD HAVE WON' Ray Morrison's handful of grid-ders surpassed the fondest expectations of even the coaches. "We should have won," Dutch Mcintosh, one of Morrison's aides said after the battle while Morrison smiled fcli conviction.

The golden-jerseyed boys from Vanderbllt twice knocked at the door through which players must travel for touchdowna. They came within a cat's whisker of a score In the second period and In the final heat they traveled within 12 yards of a touchdown.

SMITH Will tha bloqd-aoaked clothing which Georgs Johnson, cleaning corporation president, wore on hia "last ride" shed any light on his kidnaping and death? That ia a question scheduled to be answered in Davidson County Criminal Court Monday when the trial of four men on charges growing out of the brutal slaying is resumed before Judge Chester K. Hart.

INTRODUCTION HINTED The prosecution moved Kridsy to exhibit that clothing before the jury and, despite heated efforts of the defense to stop that move. Judge Hart indicated that he might permit introduction of the clothing as an exhibit. If Judge Hart does rule in favor of the prosecution it will be the first time in many years that "death clothing" has been exhibited during a murder trial, court attaches said. CLOSELY GUARDED Meanwhile, Dit. Atty.

Gen. J. Carlton Loser is keeping the cloth ing a heavily stained coat and a bloody shirt under lock and key in his office. A trial which started slowly, dragging through three and one-half days devoted to selection of 12 jurors and one alternate, was speeded up Friday afternoon as the name of Bill Frazier, one of the four defendants, was brought into the evidence for the first time. Thus far, none of the other three defendants haa been mentioned In the teatimony.

These other defendants, all charge with being 'hirers and procurers and acces sories before the fact," are Nick Nicklison and Sam and Tony Boushulen, Fourth Avenue cleaning establishment proprietors. Allied with Loser in the prosecution are Asst. Dist. Atty. Gen.

Ben West and Attorneys Jack Nor man, W. M. Fuqua and Richard Atkinson. Arrayed for the defense are At torneys Seth M. Walker, Charles Embry, J.

N. Daniel and Jeff Mc- Carn. The trial will enter its second week tomorrow, probably with County Investigator R. L. Tar king-ton on the stand.

It ia through his testimony that the prosecution hopes to introduce the blood-soaked clothing.

18-flNSvA riea of four bomb explosions rocked London's Piccadilly Circus area tonight while air raid warn ings sent thousands to cover In England's Eastern Essex coastal region, but the two coinciding events were unrelated. The bombings, which threw fright into the people of the British capital's "neegay "Times Square" district, were officially de clared to have been perpetrated under the cover of London's night ly wartime blackout by an Irish Republican Army gang of terror ists, roaming the area in a taxicab. No injuriea resulted and the dam age was minor. TWO 'DUOS' FOUND Two unexploded time bombs were discovered and rendered harmless by the police. One of the bombs was found against the window of a Piccadilly Circus telegraph of fice.

The raid warnings along the Es sex Coast and in an inland Essex town lasted half an hour and were believed prompted by a report that a German night-raiding plane had been detected in the vicinity. But the people who went to bomb proof shelters heard no plane motors nor anti-aircraft fire and there waa no verification of the belief a Nazi plane actually reached the area. The bombing in Piccadilly Cir cus, world-famed as London's nignt-iire center nefore tne war squelched Its gayety, partially wrecked a motion picture theater front, shattered shop windows and threw twisted steel shutters across sidewalks.

Deluged with Inquiries concerning the act and interpretations of particular sections, the department has had to issue a long analysis of the section relating to commerce with warring nations.
