SIX TnF srxn.n walaxciie ioiuxal TivrrMiiFT! ft. 102S Hopes of Florida Of Championship Are Ruined, 13-12 To Annex Extra Point Is Cause for Downfall of Alligators; The Favorites Lose By ALAN J. GOULD, Associated Press Sports Editor KNOXVILLE, Dec. The Volunteers of Tennessee, playing with all the dashing and daring skill of youth, scuttled the Southern Conference championship hopes of Florida todav in a thrilling climax to one of the greatest Dixie gridiron seasons. These sturdy sons of Tennessee, with a scrappy fast charging line and three sensational sophomores in the brickfield, ripped into the defense of the country's highest powered scoring machine, tore it apart in the first half with a bewildering attack and had the stuff to turn back Florida's desperate counter thrust that fell only a single point shy of squaring the count.

final margin was 13 to 12 Only a Thanksgiving Day scoreless tie with Kentucky keeps the Vote from claiming an equal share of southern title glory with Georgia Tech. which closed its campaign at Atlanta today by heating Georgia before moving on to represent Dixie in the Rose Bowl game at Pasadena New Day. Impressive Record As it stands, Tennessee, under the coaching of the old West Point, star. Major Boh Neyland, has played twenty consecutive games over a three-year period without defeat, winning eighteen and tying two. Neyland rose frcm a sick bed, where he has been confined by "flu" for several days, to see his young charges outdo themselves today as they got the Jump on the brilliant Florida array, took the lead in the second period and kept it to the fin- ish in spite of the most determined counter charges of "Cannonball Clyde" Crabtree and his crew of fighting Gators.

Florida, unbeaten previously this Jrear and with a speedy, well drilled outfit, entered the game top heavy a favorite. Each touchdown tallied by Flor- put the Gators within a point of Tennessee but each time the fail- tire of the fry for extra point kept the visitors from catching their rivals. Vols Start Strong Tennessee's running attack with Hackman and McEver ripping through Florida's line the home team off to a flving start, i Each of these stars scored a touchdown but it was the brilliant defensive all around defensive work of Dodd, aided by Hackman, that kept the Gators from flying through the air to Playing at quar- forback in place of the injured Cap- tain Roy Witt. Dodd displayed superb generalship in his selection of plays and twice put Florida on the defensive with quick kicks that fooled the Gator backs completely and cost them many valuable yards. Line-ups We are speaking for a lot of good teams that lost one game and were defiled for it.

It is becoming more and more apparent that it is humanly impossible for a team to go through a season undefeated Schedule makers are looking to the big gates and imposing a burden upon a coach that cannot be assumed without two complete first class varsity teams. Knute Rockne, Tad Jones, Pop Warner, Judge Steffen, Biff Jones and all the ranking coaches of the country Insist that it is Impossible to keep a team at its peak for three successive weeks. And it is becoming the duty of a coach to keep his men pointed for five or six straight, games during the season if they are to avoid a defeat. It is impossible to do it. they might have cried about the had break, didn't.

They went Into the Carnegie team with the apparent decision to beat a great team and they did. Carnegie Lost Edgr Take the case of Carnegie Tech against New York university, Carnegie the week before had looked like the greatest team in the coun- tryf in beating Notre Dame. Carnegie was pointed for that game1 and won it handily. The team was not used up physically in the game No substitutions had to be made until the final period and they were made then to relieve men who were tired. It looked during the entire game as if the team was winning under wraps.

Yet, Carnegie went info the New York game sluggish and stale. The players were not mentally alert They suffered obviously from a mental let down. Their power on 1 the line was there but they didn't Jump Into it as the New York forwards did and the line was always stepping back. New York had no mental burden They were prepared to shoot the with abandon and did They had lo-t a game and while Georgia Tech has yet to face the real hard test. There is no reason to figure that Georgia will put them in distress, but Tech has the mental hazard to face.

It will go into the game standing a the favored team for the national championship and that will be a load to carry. Georgia will make move than an underdog effort to win. Last year Georgia was standing as one of the ranking teams of the season and Tech so much but Tech went into the game and knock off Georgia. And those college boys do remember.
