But the penalty flags were down on the play and the Vols last hope went glimmering. The jubilent Rebels had only to run out a couple of minutes to various schools. However, doing away with spring football seems By BILL CRIDER MEMPHIS (APX Tennessee cracked under Doug Elmore's passing Saturday and Mississippi virtually sewed up a major bowl bid by whacking the Volunteers, 24-10. The underdog Vols came alive late in the fourth quarter, with tackle Ed Beard galloping 56 yards with an intercepted pass, but a second Tennessee touchdown was lost to a holding penalty.

The Rebels sent three fleet backs across the Vol goal, with the bonecrusher coming on quarterback Glynn Griffing's 53-yard runback of a punt. The fired-up Tennessee line blunted the Mississippi running attack in the first half but had to loosen up when Elmore went to the air. Both teams were forced to resort to field goals when early drives bogged down. Mississippi got its first touchdown march cracking in the second quarter, moving 71 yards in 15 plays, with fullback Billy Ray Adams bulling the final 3. The Rebels nailed down victory early in the second half.

Tennessee came out loose to cope with Elmore' stinging passes and Ole Miss shifted to emphasis on power. The Rebels took the kickoff and jammed 75 yards on 12 plays, with Elmore hitting halfback Louis Guy with a bullet Guy hardly the way to go about it. win.

Clarksville won the TSSAA (Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association) State Cross-Country Meet here Saturday morning. Jackson High Scfhool finished fifth for the second straight year. Nashville East's great sophomore miler, Dalhgren, was the individual winner, knocking nearly a full minute off last year's winning time of 11:03 by breezing home in the two mile event in 10:05.

East was second in overall points. Oak Ridge was third, East Ridge fourth, Jackson fifth and Memphis Kingsbury sixth. Ripley, another west state entry, was 11th. Jackson coach John Pechonick said, "Our boys ran well and finished bunched fairly close together in the 20's." Elvin Wells finished first for Jackson with Bill Currie, Mitchell Holt, Jimmy Farmer, Buddy Siler and Raymond McCleary close behind in that order. The teams in order of finish: jOn the next down Taylor dropped back and spotted Grubbs on snatched it away-from Vol defender Larry Richards on the 15 and raced over.

Then came the big one. Tennessee Hubert McClain punted from his own five, booting a high one that Glynn Griffing took on the Mississippi 47. Griffing cut right, picked up blockers, and zoomed down the middle for the score. Elmore hurt the Vols with his throws, but two of them also wound up as major breaks for the Orange. Tennessee's first score came after center Mike Lucci, with a a i ul one-handed catch, snared an Elmore pass and ran it back 10 yards to the Ole Miss 31.

Nine bruising plays moved the ball to the Mississippi 3. Then on a third and three situation. Rebel end Woody Dabbs blitzed through and dropped fullback Bunny Orr on the 7. Gary Cannon was sent to boot the 24-yard field goal. The second Elmore pass to wind up in Tennessee hands was a feeble flip gotten off just as a big Orange jersey fell on him from behind during a rollout.

It was a tackle's dream. Beard seized the ball, cut down the sidelines, and outran three Ole Miss pursuers to score with 3:18 left on the clock. On the ensuing kickoff, halfback Art Doty ran the ball back 40 yards but lost it in the midst of a gang tackle and fullback Marty Baracca recovered it for the Vols on the 46.

The far reaching result of such a policy, we feel, will be the eventual slowdown of major, college recruiting throughout the state. If we don't have time to teach basic football on a high school level, neither will the colleges. Another end result will be an extraordinary emphasis on training at a junior high level in an attempt to get these lads ready sooner to play high school ball. This too would be a terrible mistake. Deliberate the situation carefully.

If you are so disposed as to feel that action to halt the state-vide stoppage of spring football is not indicated, word to your school board members, principals and eoaches might help.
