SNYDER KNOXVILLE, Oct. 18.

And when he wasn't blasting through the Tech line, which he pierced 15 times for 64 yards, Jenkins was stopping constant Jacket offensive threats which finally produced a touchdown a minute before the game ended. Vanderbilt, only unbeaten and untied team in the Southeastern Conference," marched 76 yards for its first counter. Sprinkled in this drive, the longest of the game, were a 20-yard pass from John Burns, sophomore halfback, to end Sonny Baird and a 38-yard gallop by Art Rebrovich which put the ball on Tech's 12. Jenkins smashed over in four line plunges. A bad kick by Capt Charley Sanders, who turned in a magnificent peformance at tackle for Tech, which went out on his own 36-yard stripe set stage for Van-dy's second score.

A line play and a pass, Burns to Jimmy Webb, sophomore end, put the ball on Tech's 13 and again Jenkins slammed through on four smashes at the line. Tech's shifty offense, with sophomore Dave Eldredge and fullback Bob Plaster supplying the chief portions, carried to Vandy's five-yard, line in the third period before the Vandy lne stemmed the threat. Again early in the fourth the Jackets, stormed to Vandy 's 14, but Art Rebrovich gobbled in little Johnny Bosch's pass on his own goal line and ran back 15 yards to halt this drive. The Jackets were not to be denied, however, and in the last three minutes reeled off 58 yards for their lone touchdown, R. W.

Tech picked up 17 first downs to Vanderbilt's nine, and outrushed the Commodores 209 yards to 181. but most of this offensive splurge came in the final quarter when the Vandy regulars were sitting on the bench.

The other Union goalward drive, which was never fully appreciated, started with Jones and Gary carrying the ball, from the Union 45 in hard successive drives up the field and into the very laps of the Tigers stationed in the shadows of the goalposts, where a staunch line held secure and the greatest scoring possibility after the first score died on the Memphis 7.

Little was accomplished after that and the game ended with Memphis inaugurating a fresh touchdown march that had a hapless ending with the game within ten slick yards of the goal line.

Georgia Trips Columbia From Unbeaten Ranks NEW YORK, Oct. 18 VP) A red-jerseyed ball of fire from way down south in Youngstown, Ohio, led a University of Georgia football team to a 7-3 triumph over Columbia today, to eliminate Lou Little's lions from the ranks of the nation's unbeaten elevens. It was Frankie Sinkwich, broken Jaw and all, who lived up to his press notices handsomely in making a very personal show of the Southerners' touchdown drive. That march covered 45 yards tand required nine plays. Sinkwich" handled the ball on every one 'of the nine, and on the last one after sucking in the Columbia linemen by faking a pass, he scooted back over the Lion left side for nine yards and the score.

The unbeaten Irish rolled up 241-net yards rushing while holding Tech to a net loss of 19 yards but bogged down time after time in the face of savage Tech resistance near the goal lines. Tech, supposed to be a victim by amost any score you chose to name, yielded oly two touchdowns one in tne iirst period and another to the Irish reserves in the final quarter. The Tartans also gave up a safety after beating back a dangerous Irish thrust on their own Vi yard line In the second quarter.

BY HERB BARKER NEW "YORK, Oct 18 VP) Michigan's Wolverines pushed Northwestern out of the undefeated list today, presented a new and somewhat unexpected Big Ten challenge to Minnesota, and gained complete, if somewhat belated, recognition as one of the nation's top-ranking elevens.

Leads Virginia LEXINGTON, Oct 18 PJ Billy Dudley added stature to his gridiron greatness today by throwing three touchdown passes and exhibiting uncanny defensive talenl as he led the University of Virginia to a 27-7 victory over Vir ginia Military Institute before spectators. Playing on a sloppy, water-soak- ed field, the Bulldogs never did get back on their feet soundly after the opening blow delivered in person by the one-man exhibition tailback, Preston. Watts. The only Jackson tally came midway of the second quarter on a hard drive down the field, and the failure to convert for the extra point left them in a one-point hole that they never could get out of. A Union march of 50 yards to the Memphis 7-yard stripe Just before the half ended Constituted the greatest additional threat by either team to add to the earlier scores throughout the entire tilt as both groups piched hard blows up and down the slow field.

Jones Has Running Trouble Union's backfield candidate for SIAA honors, tailback James Casy Jones had trouble all night in breaking loose with his usually spectacular gallops, as his cutbacks and fleet broken field running fell far short on the slick sod and were killed in a pile of alert Tigers. The evening's special thrill came from the fast captain, however, as he unfurled a typical mad dash through the opposition and ripped forward for 41 yards before he was taken from behind by Watts on the Memphian's 4-yard marker. Inexperience Weakened Line While the Tigers were hitting their stride behind the scoring impetus of the mudrunner Watts, the inex perience caught up with the De- lay men and several close calls had their beginning with newcom ers to the varsity list as drives wnippea oacK ana rortn across tne insecure footing. For the first time since the season opened the hefty Union line wavered and fell open to allow the "visitors to sweep back and partially block one kick and cast hands on several more. Jones boots as the game closed grew considerably weaker along with the tiring tailback himself, still smarting under injuries sustained in the Murray game.

The last threat of the game end ed with the final whistle with the Tigers stationed on the Union 7-yard line after pushing steadily from their own 43-yard line und er the influence chiefly of steam-rolling Watts and Barker. Watts Scores Early The Memphis aggregation jumped into an early, unrelinquished lead with the opening of the game as Watts single-handedly engineered the ball from his own 48 into Union territory and then power-pushed for 41 long yards in seven telling attempts to cross the line with enough left over to start back. The genuine heartbreaker came when Shine Glass, Tiger captain and quarterback, snatched the bail from placement and scurried frantically; through several Bull dogs and left end to race into the end zone without losing his balance. This gave the needed seven points for Memphis to take the tilt. After vieing strongly with the invaders deep into the second canto, the Bulldogs took measures of retaliation that finally ended with the first and only Jackson score.

Wilson Scores For First Absorbing Daueherty's boot on their own 25-yard line the Kennel squad started rolling. Gary picked up 3 on a dash to the right side and then Jones stacked them further with a six-yard gain over the left side of the line. Jones, Gary, and Brazelton collaborated to escort the pigskin 17 more yards into vulnerable Tiger territory, and then Jones let loose with an elusive spin over the right portion of the forward wall to lace up 4 yards In a crowded field before he was overtaken by the six-feet-five inch Watts playing at safety. With the ball resting in easy scoring position of the four-yard spot Wallace Wilson, Memphis quarterback, took the ball and dived through the line to rack Union All-Time Football team.
