Nalley carried five punts back 77 yards. That would have been enough and to spare if figures released last week by the National Collegiate Athletic Bureau had been correct, but they were not.

The 165-pound halfback was credited with carrying 31 punts back 557 yard so that he needed only 60 yards more to top the 616 yard record set by Bill Geyer of Colgate in 1941. A re check showed Nalley had been credited with two punt returns by Daryle May. making his total 530 yards in 29 carries. Nalley's 77 yards today gave him 607 yards on 34 carries, nine short of Gtyer's record. Nalley has three more games to play.

The near-miss didn't keep Nalley from providing the top thrill of the day when be nabbed a Marshall pass and raced 66 yards through a broken field for the sixth of Van-derbilt's eight touchdowns.

But all the stars who had been touted in advance had to bow to Dottley. a rix-foot, 196-pound smasher from McGehee, Ark, the standout of the game. Early In the- second quarter, he carried the ball 51 yards in two plays with an incomplete pass sandwiched between to set up his own score. He gained 98 yards in the game the top individual -r-formance. Jerry Tiblier provided the flashiest play of the game, a few moments later.

Billy Muslin took a Tennessee kick on his own 20. handed it off to Tiblier, and the senior halfback galloped to a touchdown behind beautiful Interference.

UP) An alert Tennessee Freshman football team capitalized on two breaks today to beat Vanderbilt's Yearlings, 12-0. After a fairly even first half, the game took a quick turn in favor of the Baby late in the third period when Hank LauriceUa, Tennessee's brilliant 165-pound, tailback from New Orleans, speared Bill.

Oswalt kicked his 21st and 22nd extra points of the season, out of 2a tries. A safety added Ole Miss' two other points. Coach Bob Neyland's Vols started strong with an effective passing attack, but It bogged down by tthe hall Mississippi did it best work on the ground.

Sherrill scored Tennessee's frist touchdown on a pass from Proctor, and Ralph Chancey took the second over from the three in the third.

Ole Miss two tallies were in the second quarter, by Dottley and Jerry Tiblier. The win kept Mississippi in the thick of the fight for the conference crown it won last year.

California, Penn State and Ohio State clicked off seven pointers with the' regularity of robots for lopsided victories. pair of unknowns brought Notre Dame the touchdown it so desperately needed to subdue Northwestern. 12 to 7. The fourth period score was the result of the combined efforts of Bill Gay and John Landry. The game was the 26th in a row without defeat for Notre Dame but it also proved that the Big Nine team was a worthy RoEe Bowl candidate.

Arnold Galiffa'g touchdown pass to John Trenton with 30 seconds to go permitted Army to continue its unbeaten way with a 26 to 20 ver- diet over Pennsylvania. Alabama turned a fumble and an Intercepted pass into the two touchdowns it needed to defeat Georgia Tech, 14 to 12, and Mississippi simplv outsped Tennessee, 16 to 13. although the decisive points came on a safety. Southern Methodist's great Doak Walker kicked the two extra points that gave his club a 14 to 12 verdict over Arkansas, whose Clyde Scott was carried from the field in the first quarter. Walker carried the ball seven times and lost 10 yards.

Promoter is il 0 ox-: HAM Red Boots, Lineman The Tennessee-Ole Miss classic in Memnhis yesterday cost the Jackson High Athletic Association approximately $1400. Those figures were estimated by Lowell Crane yesterday. Principal Crane tried everytmng he knew to postpone tne Tiger game from Friday night to possibly Saturday night because of a rain that had been falling since eariy jfrroay morning and which continued to fall throughout the day and dur ing the game "The way I aee it," Fess Crane said.

"Is that Lexington Coach Monk Fowler had his mind set on attending the Memphis game and It was worth approximately $1400 to us that he not be disappointed. We had an $800 crowd Friday night as against $2200 the last time Lexington came here Fess Crane said Lexington Principal W. L. Bobbitt was in favor of postponing the game "but Coach Fowler wouldnt' hear of it." The Tiger Coach probably figured his team had a better chance on a wet field and it probably This corner believes the Bears, seeing as how they a swell passing attack, would have won by a larger score on a dry lot The same situation arose autumn last when it rained all day in Lex-ington prior to the game. Fess Crane himself called Lexington and suggested that the game be postponed until the following night.

It was. Lexington won that game, 7-0, and until the day the familr checks in on our insurance, we will believe that the Bears would have won last year if the game had been played on the night called for A long-distance punter is a mighty weapon on a muddjt field. Jackson had rest year in Freddy 4 Henry. This theory was proven correct two weeks Deiore me Lexington game when Jackson downed Hopkinsville, 20-0, on a sloppy field. Henry kicked on second down all through that game, hop ing that Hoptown would fumble.

She did three times and the Bears converted all into touch downs The 15-7 defeat of Lexington Friday night probably stung our good neighbors worse than the 73-0 defeat back in '49. Loyal ton followers, the team and the coach expected to win Friday "ht and almost did. We had inten tions of wandering over into fhe FM booth at half time where, sat Brother Lexington Progress Franklin. Vfe had hope of doing a bit of gloating. But when halftime came we were looking for tome place to hide the same as Fr ink-lin did after the game.

It wr.s so deathly quiet beneath our both in the last five minutes of the -rame that one could hear a couh drop. i Principal Crane could have ac cepted an Exchange Bowl invitation several days ago. But it would have been under the clause: "Pro viding you beat Lr.x Ington. He did not accept officially because It would have ben putt boys on the spot it would have resulted in embarrassment if we had accented unier such terms and then lost. The Exchange Bowl committee has plucked a plum best among all bowl committes in securing the Grver Cleveland Dutchmen and the Golden Bears.

A large number of fans will more than likely follow Cleveland here and there's no doubt concerning the Bear following. And despite what some are still saying about "the Bears are not up to bowl standards," we can't, see it that way The name "Cleveland" sounds Important and more so because it is located In St. Louis but the Dutchmen could beat Paducah by but one touchdown 13-6. The Bears beat the same Tornado eleven 13-0 and the 13-0 score does not tell the true tale. The score could have and should have been larger.

Paducah had a net gain or loss in this case of two yards against the Bears Paduchians pointed out that the Tornado "was off form when it played Jackson." But when a ball carrier finds a whole flock of enemy linemen hitting him about the same time he catches the ball he will naturally go no place in particular. It's true that the Bears played their season's best against Paducah a brand of ball it will take to play Cleveland a sort of game all Jackson is hoping or The Exchange bowl invite and acceptance will put the Bears off to a slow basketball start. The season's opener with TreadwelJ here will be played eight nights following the bowl game. Coaches Tury Oman and Raymond Judy will have one wek to get the Bear cagers in shape to play Merry In Playoff At Rothrock Thursday Ey beating Paris 130 on Tuesday and Clarksville Friday, Merry High won" a place in the playoff in the Tennessee Secondary Schools for Negroes and will play Webb High of McKenzie on Rothrock Field Thursday afternoon at 2:30.
