The kick was to the right of the goal posts.

Then the battle started, with the Aggies keeping the ball in Brookhaven's territory most the time, but. never getting within ten yards of Brookhaven's goal. Brookhaven launched an aerial attack that gained a few yards at a time, since whenever Brookhaven passed, an Amite boy was right there to tackle the receiver. The half ended with the score 6 to 0. In the next the fight was all over the field, with both Brookhaven and Amite making varied attempts to gain.

Wall, Hazlewood and Crosby led the Amite attack, while Wilson, Williamson, Wlllard Smith and Panzica starred for Brookhaven. Bro'okhajen did most of the passing, but Amite was ahead in the punting!

Dixie Roberts, big Vandy half, and Tommy Henderson, lithe little quar- ter. proved too much for the Heels. and they were ablv assisted bv a group of backs-including Watkins, Beck, B.

Askew, Burton, Whitfieli and Owne. The Heels found themselves able to get downs almost at will In the second half, when a beautU'ul passing attack was functioning smoothly, but only one time could they muster the final punch to score. Carolina rolled up 19 first downs to seven for Vandv while the Invaders scored six touchdowns to one for the Heels. Roberts was the outstanding man on the field, racing 75 yards through Carolina's left tackle for a touchdown in the second period: flipping a 45-yard pass to Henderson at the start of the second half to pave the way for another; scoring one on line drives in the second: passing to Henderson for 31 yards and a touchdown in the first quarter; passing for 14 yards to Henderson to fix things for still another. In addition he always was a threat offensively, punted well and was a defensive power.

Little Henderson, smallest man in Vandy's backf ield, caught passes with almost uncanny ability and, was like an eel to Carolina's line. Once he slipped through center for 40 yaf ds." He counted two touchdowns. Carolina's lone tally came in the third period while the Heel passing attack was at its height. Croom, through passes from his hand and his own running, enabled the Heels to get two firsts in a row from Vandy's 35 yard line and then, after Phlpps lost five trying a pas, Croom took another heave from Phipps for 18 and a touchdown. Phlpps place kicked the point.

Again in the third quarter, the Vols went on a scoring rampage, marching to the goal line ihrire in rapid succession.

The elusive Feathers paved the. way for the first of the three with three shifty runs letting 35 yards and placing the ball on MJssissip- pi's two yard line. Breezy Wynne dived over the goal line.

Though a near-capacity throng of 53,000 saw Kh9 Trojans here last year, 105,000 may be crowded into the Los. Angeles coliseum. The Navy game has been transplanted into the new Cleveland municipal stadium at the Invitation of Mayor Ray Miller, a Notre Dame alumnus, and a sellout crowd there of 80.000 would exceed by 15.000 th number which saw the tilt at Balu-more last year. Pitt drew 35.000 here a year ago, but from 55,000 to 65,000 will turn out Halev says, to see the Irish perform in Pittsburgh. The Kansas stadium at Lawrence holds more than saw Pennsylvania play here last autumn.

On the other hand, Haley says, there will be losses on th Northwestern game which 70,000 iw in Chicago last year compared to a maximum expectancy of 55.000 here this November and the Tech game, which attracted 45.C03 at Pittsburgh last year but comes back here this season.
