Russ Mosley was able to get off a 36-yard punt in the wind, the Vols allowing it to roll. The Vols hit the Alabama line for a fir.st down when Cifers got six at left in eight years over Tennessee at Legion Field since the Howell-to-Hutson team. It was one of the greatest demonstrations of line play ever seen on a Southern gridiron with Alabama finally winning, 8 to 0, after a scoreless first period.

Coach Frank Thomas deserves a world of credit for figuring out, a way to score on John Barnhills masterfully-coached team. The Vols all but bottled the Crimsons up in the first half and it was not until tackle and five more through right Alabama showed some of its new- guard. V' wm est formation stuff and no shift plays that the Crimsons finally found a way to gain and they had to grind out 135 yards to get their touchdowns after a fumble on the Vols three cost them a sure touchdown. It was billed the nation's No. 1 game and that Was just what it was as 25.000 Alabama and Tennessee fans watched one of the greatest The Vols were hot.

They were getting ready to strike in the air. Cifers passed to his left and Don Sails took the ball on the run, returning it five yards to Alabamas 30.

'BAMA BACK RIPS VOL LINE FOR FOUR YARDS-Russ Craft, star Crimson Tide back, is shown above driving through the tough Tennessee forward wall for a four-yard gain early in the all-important clash Saturday between the two Southeastern Conference giants.

Vol Center Arthur Bandau, No. 45, is about to make the tackle with A 'r the final sale when he bumped through the middle of the tiring Green line and boiled on down the middle for 40 yards and another six pointer. Leo Costa, the placement special- ist, worried his boosters a little by missing two of four tries. Although the score was argument enough, the quality of Geor-fia's offensive was underlined by the fact that the Bulldogs punted only twice. Sinkwich averaged five yards per try with a net of 70 yards on 14 tries while Trippi racked up a net of 67 on 10 tries.

Statistics Statistic of game; rN Pair Of Sophomores Bring Badgers Back To Perfect Servicemen BY CHARLES CHAMBERLAIN CHICAGO (A) The massive sailors of the Great Lakes Naval Training Station stopped Wisconsin ment. I Lineups and summary: for two periods Saturday before a 1 couple of sophomores Wink and Elroy Hirsch came to the rescue with two of the longest touchdown runs of the season one the lpngth of the field to give the undefeated Badgers a 13-to-7 triumph. It appeared that Bruce Smith, Ja.st year's All-American at Minnesota, might become another Wisconsin Nemesis after he passed to Nebraska's Fred Preston for a 65-yard touchdown play in the first period. A crowd of 30.000 including some. 8.000 service men had just about settled down in Soldiers Field prepared for a Great Lakes victory after the cardinal-shirted Radgers had virtually pounded themselves apart on the ponderous sailor line.

Then Hirsch and Wink pulled down the curtain on the Blue Jack- i ots second defeat in four games this season and Wisconsin main-; tained its unbeaten record through 1 five contests.

was even more sensational. Smith had wound up the Blue Jack- ets on what had the makings of a touchdown surge. He unreeled 23 yards, passed to Carl Mulleneaux for 23 more, finally reaching the Wisconsin 23. From there he uncorked his arm for a pass to scoring land, but Wink stepped in. He snared the ball a yard behind the goal line, waded through a wave of the white-clad Sailors to midfield and behind a vanguard of blockers danced into pay territory.

The run goes into the records as 100 yards, but actually covered 101 or more. The injured Pat Harder place-kicked the extra point after the first Wisconsin touchdown, bid missed after Winks score.

Craft was second high with 55 yards and in tying him the Vols let Jenkins get loose but Jenkins show ed one thing, how to run with a touchdown under his arm.

It took a great run for Jenkins to get through the Vols' secondary and he made it with class. No Alabama sophomore fullback has ever looked any more promising than Jenkins except on All-American Hurry Cain an All-American in calibre his first year proving it in i the Rose Bowl. Cifers and Fuson were the Vols best yardage men. Cifers gained 41 and Fuson 40.

The Crimsons were in real trouble when Crawford rushed Russ Mosley, and Bill Meeks, a Birmingham boy, made a five-yard return of the punt to Alabama's 25. Ala-V bama showed what the boys were talking about when they said the Crimsons had the line as good a line as Betty Co-Ed ever got off.

Gold got two at center. Capt. Dom-nanovich spilled Gaffney for three yards. Sam Sharp, the old Wood-lawn slar, went in fast and threw Slater for a six-yard loss. Slater punted 20 yards, and the ball wpnt to the nine.

Russ Mosley, 'who had his had moments, had his good moments and both good moments helped Alabama to win the game. He punted out 54 yards and that slowed the Vols down for the remainder of the period. The Vols tried a reverse on their first play at their own 48. It caught Alabama offside for the second time. Whitmire threw Slater for a yard loss, catching him by the nap of the neck.
