He jjave assurance Wednesday there would be no rain on Thanksgiving Day. Which gives him an average very close to me one enjoyed by the local weather bureau. It not only rained, of course, but there was sleet and snow, to boot.

I don't understand it. I mean, 1 don't understand how it is that for six straight years now the annual Thanksgiving Day game has had nothing but the worst of weather. Sometimes there was rain. Then, again, there was snow. And sleet, too.

Yesterday, one of the worst of all days, there was a combination of all three. I Maybe that's the end of it. There is a chance that the weather of yesterday was weather to end all the bad Thanksgiving Days of the future. I sincerely hope so. The annual freshman eame for the ft benefit of the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children will come near filling Grant Field with people when the one day comes witn a nit or sun.

The Scottish Rite people never have complained about the weather. It's only people like me, I guess, who get disturbed about it. a-St w- a And Mark Twain had the real answer, at that. He said. "People arc always talking about the weather, but they never 1 V' 'rzfip? irT- 4 ao anything about it." Sitting here in the press box at Grant Field, I cannot help but admire the spirit of the people who came to sit in the raw weather to watch the freshmen of Tech and Georgia go after each other hammer and tongs.

They really didn't need the hammer, for the weather called only for tongs big, stout ice tongs. The freshmen apparently didn't notice anything wrong with the weather, however. I guess this was due to the heat of their play. The annual game is a heartwarming affair, anyway. Conttitutien Staff Photo Despite the mud and cold, little Johnny Bosch, Baby Gentry (No.

KNOXVILLE, Nov. 24. In the snow and slush of a cold Thanksgiving Day, Tennessee's Volunteers flashed a spectacular attack today to overwhelm Kentucky's Wildcats and ascend to the Southeastern conference championship. The score, surprisingly one-sided in the face of the unfavorable conditions of a driving snowstorm and mud fetlock deep, was 46 to 0 and one of the worst defeats ever handed a Kentucky eleven in its ancient duelling with Tennessee.
