Tennessee, a team that ha neve issued an outright claim to the con fere nee crown, drew scout comment that labelled the Volunteer as th most powerful aggregation ever to wear the orange and white uniform and added a note of title favortlsm to the chances of the Volunteers for the Dixie title.

Vanderbllt, Kentucky, and Mississippi remain on the Vols' program. George (Bad News) Cafego, West Virginia Junior halfback who has been the wheelhorse of past Tennessee triumphs, played a bang up game In the victorious battle, but bad to share honora with such out standing performers as Ends Bowden Wyatt and George Hunter, Guard Bob Suffridge and Fullback Leonard Coffman. Tennessee stopped Louisiana State's running attack dead, not permitting the Tigers to get past midfleld In th last' two periods, and the fast cbarg lng line, supported by great defen sive work by the secondary, checked an ever-threatening aerial attack.
