A crowd of 17,000 watched the conquerors of Tennessee make their 1957 debut at horns.

Clemson's only score came in the final period on a pass by quarterback Bill Barbary to halfback George Usry that covered 50 yards. Christy's run produced the only score in the first half, although Clemson was an inch short of a first down at the State one-foot line when the gun sounded. The Wolfpack's final drive took five plays.

Christy went wide to his left for 17 yards with full back Don Hafer providing key blocks. Hunter followed to the right side for 23 yards, then Christy went for 16 to the left.

Princeton Chops Columbia By 47-6 New York, Oct. 5 UP) Princeton's massive line and sin gle wing- wizardry chopped Columbia's porous defense to pieces today as the Tigers won their first Ivy League game of the sea son 47-6. Only a perfectly executed 71-yard pass in the second period from quarterback Dick Donelli to Harvey Bookins, a little soph omore speedster, saved the Lions from a shutout and one of their worst lickings in this ancient series. Princeton scored the first three times to get the ball, missed the fourth time because of a string of penalties, then smashed back after the Columbia score to make it 27-8 at halftime.

Terps, 14-0 94-YARD PASS PLAY WINS FOR SYRACUSE Syracuse, N. Oct. 5 (UP) Syracuse quarterback Chuck Zimmerman and halfback Ed Coffin teamed on a pass-run combination good for 94 yards in five plays late in the game today to beat down pass-happy Boston University, 27-20. Zimmerman shot a pass to Coffin from the Orange eight-yard line to key the winning drive. Coffin outmaneuvered the faster Boston backfield for 71 yards before BU half Paul.

Cancro brought him down on the BU 21. Four plays later the 180-pound Junior quarterback jammed through the center of the BU line to break a 20-20 deadlock. Passing dominated the day. Boston's lithe quarterback, Lenny Hill, completed eight of 21 throws for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Syracuse completed eight of 13 passes for 173 yards and passing figured directly in three Orange touchdowns.

Punt Return Of 55-Yards a Wilis Game Knoxville, Oct. 5 (UP) Tailback Bobby Gordon grabbed a' punt and raced 55 yards for a touchdown with a minute and a half to play today to give Tennessee a comeback 14-9 victory over Mississippi State. Gordon, a senior from Pulaski, best known for his kicking, set sail down the sidelines to send a crowd of 20,000 into delirium. His run climaxed a determined Tennessee second-half assault in contrast to the first half when State shoved the Vols around at will, scoring a field goal and a touchdown. Stay On Ground Midway In the fourth quarter.

the Vols started on their own 25 and went 75 yards. Sticking close to the ground, Tennessee sent Gordon and fullback Carl Smith on short, steady gains. Gordon's outside dash from the 21, coupled with a holding penalty, put the ball on the State one and Smith plunged over for the touchdown. A Mississippi State fumble, re covered by center Ray Brann, gave the Vols possession again on the State 44 but three plays failed and Gordon's punt rolled dead on the Mississippi State one. Gil Peterson punted.

Gordon took the punt on the Tennessee 45, bounced off a pair of tackles and with a key block by guard Bill Johnson, streaked for the touchdown. STATISTICS TFNN 11 Ml -4N 5 TeniWBaea MISS 8TATF.

West Virginia Swamped By Surprising Wisconsin Texas Aggies Win Easily Over Outmamicd Tigers Michigan Crumples Georgia Ann Arbor, Oct. 5 Ui Michigan's ball hawking Wolverines crumbled Georgia's sophomore-studded Bulldogs 26- 0 today in an intersectional foot ball clash witnessed by 85,002 spectators in sun-baked Michigan stadium.

The 10th ranked Wolverines, led by a war veteran halfback and a sophomore signal caller, turned the thrice beaten Georgia team into a sputtering, ineffective machine that never clicked for a sustained drive. Michigan's Big Ten powerhouse befuddled the Bulldogs by switching back and forth between the formation and the old fashioned single wing offense so familiar to Wolverine: successes. Stan Noskin, -a daring little sophomore quarterback from Chicago, split the signal calling duties with veteran quarterback Jim Van Pelt and scored two touchdowns in the first half on short line plunges. Mike Shatusky, a 26-year-old Korean War veteran who is fighting a 19-year-old sophomore for his first string job, also scored twice. He went 56 yards with an intercepted pass in the second period and ripped over tackle on a six-yard touchdown spurt in the final period.

Penn Beaten ByDartriioutli Philadelphia, Oct. 5 A rugged Dartmouth team refused to take a Penn field goal as the final answer today and stormed back 94 yards in the 'final period for a 6-3 Ivy League victory under a broiling sun at Franklin Field. Dartmouth took full advantage of its attack, clicking for the big six-pointer from the Penn 6-yard line after only six seconds of the final period had elapsed. The looping toss went from Quarterback Bill Gundy, of Rye, N.Y., to right end Scott Palmer, of Melrose, Mass.

Left guard Joe Palermo, Dartmouth senior from Lowell, was unable to get the extra point boot away as the Penn line swarmed over him. He made a wild attempt to pass but didn't come close to a receiver. The Dartmouth drive had started on the Big Green, 6, after Penn had been stopped, in one of the Quaker's two major scoring tries. Jack Crouthamel, Dartmouth left halfback from Perka-sie, was the big weapon over land while Quarterbacks Gundy and Dave Bradley, a 185-pounder from Keene, N.H., handled the passing effectively.
