Vanderbilt Easy Vicior Over Tech Commodores Score 5 Touchdowns In First Test '46 Strength NASHVILLE, Sept. 28 (JP) Vanderbilts post-war Commodores with a backbone of 1942 let-termen easily trounced a game, but overpowered Tennessee Tech eleven 35-0 today in an opening game which drew 15,000 football fans to Dudley field. With Fullback Jack McDavid, a senior from Birmingham, slicing off tackle regularly for big gains, the Commodores scored touchdowns in the first, third and four periods add twice in the second.

McDavid accounted for two of the tallies. Coach W. V. Putty Overalls stocky Golden Eagles, edging the Vandy forward wall in weight, never had a chance before the rangy Commodore linesmen and smashing backfield, which ran up a total of 21 first downs to six for Tech. McDavid, sparking Coach W.

R. Red Sanders rejuvenated squad, went over for a score in four and a half minutes of the first quarter, after end John North had carried to the 4-yard line on an end around good for 30 yards. The kick from placement by Bobby Berry was good. Early in the second period, Berry, a fullback, scored again on a line buck from the one-yard line as the Tech players wearied. Berry converted for the extra point About midway of the second, J.

P. Moore of Benton, senior wingback, scored the third touchdown after Bill Fuqua had run to the 15 and a Tech penalty for roughness put the ball on the goal line. Berry again converted. Jamie Wades 39-yard run from midfield to the Tech 11 in the third period set up McDavids second second score and Tex Robertsons placement added the point. In the final period, Squirrel Simmons.

Memphis tailback, ran 17 yards for a touchdown as the Commodores continued to outplay their opponents. Robertson kicked the extra point.

The Wildcats smashed across two touchdowns in the second quarter, picked up another in the third and two in the final quarter before the Eagles scored. Alternate-Captain Billy Hale raced 57 yards in the fourth period for the only Lincoln touchdown. Henry, Steakley and Jones ripped off first downs in straight line smashes to take the ball to the Lincoln 18 before the Eagles stiffened and took over on downs in the first quarter. Ayers smashed off tackle for a first down on his own 29, and Lincoln drove to their own 33 before Ayers punted to the West Huntsville 33-After an exchange of punts in the second quarter Williamson and Henry drove off tackle to the Lincoln 38. Fann got to the 33 on an end around and then took a pass from Cantrell on the 20 and raced across for the first Wildcat score.

Lincoln, 0- Lincolns inauguaral in local football of the forward pass behind the line of sciimmage, proved disastrous when West Huntsville knocked down and recovered the ball on the Lincoln 38 and drove to the 19. Lincoln took over there and Ayers punted out of bounds on the West Huntsville 46. Jones, Steakley ana Williamson spearheaded the Wildcat drive from the 46 which resulted in a touchdown when Williamson dived over from the 2-yard line. Jones try through center for the extra point was no good.

Score. West Huntsville, 20, Lincoln, 0. A holding penalty after West Huntsville had driven to the Lincoln 34, put the ball on the Eagles 19-yard stripe. Williamson then passed to Fann for the fourth touchdown and Henry failed to kick the extra point from placement. Score West Huntsville, 26.

Lincoln, 0. The Wildcats struck swiftly in the fourth quarter tocore their final touchdown. Ayers chose to kickoff for Lincoln. Jones advanced to the West Huntsville 36. Henry took the ball on a reverse and stepped to the Lincoln 30 before being dragged down.

Williamson, Steakley and Jones' drove to the Lincoln 8 for a first down. Steakley dashed around end on the next er strong bid for All-America. However, a pair of Tuiane interceptions and the oozy mud stopped his famed passing offsensive. After Alabama had twice driven Into Tuiane territory, Gilmer started the Crimson scoring drive with a 43-yard punt return to Tulanes 28. He helped the march along with an li-yeard right end sweep, and Quarterback Hal Self sneaked the last yard for the touchdown.

Hugh Morrow place kicked the extra point. Jim Keeton, third string left half, and 27-year-old Fulback Johnny Sims combined for Tulanes score early in the second Keeton ran a punt back 16 yards to Bamas 44, Sims went to the 23 on two line drives, and Keeton connected with Sims on a pass for the touchdown. Leonard Finleys place kick was wide. Then the down pour broke and washed out most of both teams' offensives. Heavy rain fell for the rest of the half, and a drizzle continued in the last two periods.

Tuiane pushed the Alabama reserves around somewhat during most of the third period. A 40-yard slugging penalty against Charley Compton, Bama tackle, and Finleys fine coffin corner kick put the Tide in a deep hole, but after the visitors kicked out, they got the ball on a Tuiane fumble. Alabamas regulars went in and started a last drive, that ended early in the final period with Ed Heiders goal tine Interception of Gilmers pass. Headbutting among linemen occupied the closing minutes. The lineups: Alabama Po.

28 Unofficial attendance at todays Tu-lane-Alabama football game was 64,317 the largest regular-season football crowd ever to gather for a contest in the South. Horace Renegar, publicity director at Tuiane said that the largest previous regular-season crowd here was last year's Louisiana State-Tulane attendance of 52,883. Pittsburgh is one of the most frequently misspelled place dames in the United States, Oaks are usually the last trees in ne forest to shed their leaves in the falL the first period when Halfback Charley Mitchell intercepted a Tech pass on the Yellow Jackets 35 and raced down the sideline to the 11. Two line plays produced seven yards. Then Captain Walter fired a flat pass to end' Bud Hubbell of Bridgeport, for a touchdown.

Mitchells placement kick was low. With the end of the first period nearing, Neyland inserted an entire new team. Halfback Bill Hillman fumbled, and little Jimmy Jordan, Techs brilliant pony back, recovered on the Vol 25. One pass fell incomplete before Frank Broyles nailed end Walter Kilzer with an aerial on the Vols 12, and he sprinted over for the touchdown. Jordan converted to give Tech a one-point lead.

A second intercepted pass which like the first was a delayed flat pass resulted in the Vols second touchdown early in the second stanza. Fullback George Bal-itsaries gobbled in the ball on Techs 42, and raced untouched down the right sidelines for the score. Mitchells conversion was good. Three Tech fumbles in rapid-fire order gave Tennessee scoring opportunities early in the third quarter, but the Vols running game which never quite got into high gear bogged down and each time Tech kicked out. Starting on its own 11, Techs razzle-dazzle with Pat McHugh and Luke Bowen performing the legerdemain, produced four successive first downs early in the fourth for the Jackets longest sustained drive.

The push faltered past midfield and Tech had to kick. Two more punt exchanges followed, and with two minutes left to play, Broyles kicked to Slater who ran back to the Vols 17. However, a penalty put the ball back on the Vols two. Before Tennessee had time to run a play, Neyland rushed Jack Armstrong, a freshman, into the game. He whispered into Slaters ear, then the centers.

He hit the line for a yard. Continuing the time-killing, Armstrong carried the ball twice more. Then Slater, in punt formation, took the ball and dashed back and forth behind the goal line, until he was downed for a safety. This gave Tech two points, but it also gave Tennessee the ball and free kick from the 20-yard line with the scoreboard reading 21 seconds to play. Slater kicked out to midfield.

Broyles connected with a desperation pass to Jordan as the thrill-packed game ended. The Jackets, who displayed two stellar linemen in Capt. Bob Davis, a giant tackle, and Paul Duke, center, netted 12 first downs to Tennessee's seven. They also had a 10-yard margin in rushing, piling up 126 yards to Tennessees 116. G- Tech Pos.

The line-up: The Faculty Committee on Physical Education and Athletics of the University of Alabama is making this public statement in an effort-to have the alumni and friends of the Institution understand some of the Reasons why it has been impossible to fill a great many orders for tickets. of As early as March 1946 the Committee recognized that it would be necessary to impose certain restrictions on the distribution of tickets for the 1946 season, so that the widest possible distribution could be made of such tickets as would be available.

At a meeting of the Committee at that time a sub-comraitte was appointed and requested to draft a statement of policy governing ticket sales for' the 1946 football season, to be submitted to the Committee. This statement of policy was adopted by the Committee on Physical Education and Athletics at a meetipg held April 15, 1946. In brief, it provided that the alumni ticket sale which in previous years had begun about September 1 would begin July that during the period from July 1st through July 15 ticket orders would be acepted only from alumni, faculty or students; that not more than four tickets to any one game would be sold to any alumnus, faculty member, or student: that all orders would be filled insofar as possible to fill them in the order in which they were received at the ticket office, beginning July that beginning July 16 such tickets as might remain unsold for any game would be offered for sale to the general public but that no Individual, would be permitted to purchase more, than four tickets to any one game. This statement was released to the press and carried in the ALUMNI NEWS. It was also furnished to those who applied for permission to purchase tickets in person or by mail prior to July 1.

Rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, this is the policy that has been carried out by those in charge of distributing football tickets. There have been no block sales of tickets to any firm or individuaL Some of our alumni have apparently Interpreted the policy as guaranteeing four tickets for each game to each alumnus. Obviously, it would be impossible for any such guarantees to be made or carried out, in view of the fact that we have more than 30,000 living alumni. 1 Some alumni have also interpreted the statement to mean that every alumnus who placed his order between July 1 and July 15 was guaranteed tickets, provided he did not order more than four to any one game. It should be equally obvious that no such guarantee could be made or fulfilled.

Much of the complaint that has been registered because of our inability to fill licket orders has had to do with tickets for the Homecoming game. We invite the alumni whose orders for tickets to this game could rot be filled to consider the following facts: (1) Our stadium provides reserved teats for 18,000 people. By the use of temporary bleachers on side lines and in the end zones the capacity of the stadium can be increased to approximately 21,000. (2) The enrollment for the fall quarter will not bo less than 8,000 and may reach 8.500. Each of these students is entitled to a ticket to the Homecoming game.

A great many of the veteran students are married and feel that they are entitled to the privilege of purchasing a guest ticket in order that their wives may attend the game. Many other students expect the privilege of purchasing guest tickets in order that their mothers or fathers may attend the game. Obviously, we could not guarantee to provide one guest ticket for each of the 8.000 or more students who are enrolled. We did, however, agree to set aside 2,000 tickets for sale to students on a first come, first ierved basis, beginning with the opening day of classes, September 30, and extending through October 10. It has been announced to the students that those tickets will be sold to them (not more than one to any student) so long as they last: that if any remain after October 10 they will be withdrawn from student sale and offered to the alumni.

There is, of course scant likelihood that any Mil be unsold. (3) The faculty has almost doubled in size, as has the student body, and 1,000 or more tickets will be required for the faculty members and their wives or husbands. (4) Common decency demands that the visiting team be allowed a reasonable number of tickets for its faculty, stu- dents, and alumni. The visiting team this year (Mississippi State College) has been given an allotment of 3,000. tickets for its students, faculty and alumni; they applied for more than twice this num- ber.

1 From the foregoing analysis it Is apparent that not more than 7,000 tickets to this particular game w'ere available for sale to alumni. More than 1,000 individual ticket orders were received at the ticket office on July 1, and most of these orders requested the maximum allotment of four. Orders received on July 2 exhausted the remaining supply of reserved seats for the Homecoming game. Orders received on July 3 exhausted the supply of general admissions seats. Some of the orders received July 3 and all of the orders received after July 3 could not be filled simply because there were no more tickets available.

Some complaints have been registered because orders which could not be filled were not returned immediately upon their receipt with the information that tickets were not available. The delay in returning these orders has been due to several factors. In the first place, the orders came in such tremendous volume that some delays in handling them were unavoidable. In the second place, in many instances orders could be only partially filled and acknowledgement of such orders was withheld until the ticket office could send to the purchaser those tickets which could be supplied, together with a refund of the purchase price of those which were not available. In the third placet-some orders were held on file, in the hope that last minute developments might enable us to fill rather than reject them.

For example, It was not until late August that the University received definite guarantees that Northington Hospital would be available to accommodate approximately 2,000 students. Had these students been unable to find accommodations, there would have been a correspondingly larger number of tickets available for sale to the alumni. The University and its Faculty Committee on Physical Education and Athletics regret exceedingly their inability to provide football tickets to the thousands of alumni and interested friends of the institution who have attempted to purchase football tickets. The whole question Is one of supply and demand. On Friday evening.

September 20, more than 25,000 people attended the Alabama-Furman game in Birmingham and many people were turned away at the game because ticket supplies had been exhausted. In normal times this game probably would not have attracted more than 8.000 or 10,000 spectators. We deplore the fact that we cannot supply tickets to all who wish them, but while the demand for tickets far exceeds the prewar demand our stadia are no larger than they were before the war and it has thus far been impossible to enlarge them.
