mi SUNDAY, OCTOBi If, 1954 THI BIRMINGHAM NtWS TWO IN SLASHING BATTLE- weary Dusting em versions by Bobby Goodall, Vanderbilts great guard, had spelled the difference, until Graff wrote the climax. Desperate Vanderbilt rode back to the Georgia 10 in the last seconds, but Goodalls field goal attempt failed just before the game ended. Georgia scored late in the first quarter on a 14-yard pass from Reserve Quarterback Dick Young to Halfback Charlie Madison and got another less than four minutes later on Fullback Bobby Garrard's 59-yard run. Madison made the first extra point but missed the second. Fullback Don Hunt, carrying the running load for Vanderbilt BY VERNON BUTLER ATHENS, Oct.

16 (JP)Joe Graff's 24 yard field goal gave Georgia a 16-14 triumph over weary Vanderbilt and snatched victory from the winless Commodores in the waning minutes of a slashing Southeastern Conference football battle Saturday. Graff, a reserve guard from Tarentum, kicked the three-pointer from a slight angle with four minutes of the hectic fracas remaining and with Vanderbilt ahead 14-13. Two con VANDERBILT, a six-point underdog with three straight losses, rocked Georgia with furious line play led by Goodall, Tackles Buck Watson and Pete Williams and End Tommy Harkins. Goodall, Halfback Charley Rolfe and Quarterback Jim Looney played the entire 60 minutes for the undermanned Commodores, and Center Jason Papuchis staggered out after 40 minutes. Horton, their best ball carrier, was sidelined by a leg ailment.

Young sparked Georgias attack after Regular Quarterback Jimmy Harper was unable to get the Bulldogs moving in the early stages. Young found Madison open at the goal line for the first touchdown a 14-yard pass play. Fullback Howard Kelly set it up with runs of 4 and 13 yards after Georgia started from the Vandy 32 following a short punt by Tommy Harkins. Vanderbilt marched 68 yards in 12 plays after Georgia's second touchdown with Hunts seven-yard trip around his own right end capping the drive. Vandys second score came early in the fourth quarter after a 29-yard ran by the bullish Hunt put the ball on Georgias seven.

The rejuvenated Hurricanes, mately four and a half yards in of the best young baekfields in the South are Gore ie Malloy, team captain and senior left halfback who leads Miami in rushing, and Whitey Ronviere, fiery junior right half. Malloy bas gained 257 yards in 40 rushes, averaging over six yards per try and beasts touchdown punt returns of 75 yards against Holy Cros and 71 against Mississippi State. Gustafson asserts both starting ends, Seniors rank McDonald and Tom Pepsin, are great players. Alla Rodberg, a junior, and Sophomore Charley Hutchings are 212-pound, six-foot, three tackles. Veterans John Krotec and Joe Kohut lead a corps of four able guards, and Ernie Tobey.

named the outstanding college lineman in the state last year, is more than adequate at center. GUSTAFSON l)as obtained fine results with the use of the alternate team system, despite the fact that the No. 2 outfit has a heavy serving of sophomores. We can run against most any team, Gustafson told his warriors before the season started. And they have proved the boss to be correct.

The past week the Hurricanes had the third best rushing average of he nation's college teams with a 292 average and they didnt fall much with 286 net against a big and strong Mississippi State club. Arkansas tops Texas, 20 to 7 50 carries, and his raw power smashes up the middle help open tackle spots for the halfbacks. Bonofiglio, a compact 165-pound transfer from Wisconsin, is the finest faker in U-M history. He also is a dangerous runner on the sweep option and is daring with the use of laterals. He has gained no rave notices on his passing, however.

Bonny is in his first season of varsity play after a year of ineligibility and shares the quarterback job with Carl Garrigus, a steady, smart senior who has a passing record of 16 completions in 23 pitches. Rounding OUT what Assist-ant Coach Perry Moss calls one Miles College defeats Rust College, 54 6 HOLLY SPRINGS, Oct 16 Miles College Golden Bears defeated Rust College Bear Cats 54-6 at Rust Field, Holly Springs, Miss. In the opening quarter Owen Woodruff took a hand off and went 61 yards for a TD followed by Nathanieal Davis with a 11-yard jaunt off right tackle. During the second quarter with a fake hand off from Norman to Davis, Norman passed 30 yards to Andrew Williams for a TD to give Miles a 21-0 lead. Williams Fake added to his string of extra points by booting his third straight.

The Rust, not to be denied, electrified the crowd of 5000 by a long pass whWh covered a total of 70 yards and a TD. Miles gained in strength and came back roaring with a 55-yard TD run by Cuan Woodruff. The half ended Miles 28, Rust 6. THE SECOND HALF was completely Miles, scoring touchdowns at will and using every available player on the bench to hold down the score. Touchdowns in second half were by Mitchell Smiley on an intercepted pass for 40 yards.

Should this happen, the Orange Bowl would be in a quandary, for it has barred Miami in its contract tie-up with the Big Seven and Atlantic Coast Conferences. Miami has hopes of jolting a sub-par Maryland outfit here next Friday night and tackles Fordham after that. Then comes a wind-up of three that Will put any eleven to the test: Auburn at Birmingham, Nov.

16; Alabama in Miami, Nov. 19, and Florida at GainesvUle, Nov. 27. AUBURN IS rated a key ap-ponent for two reasons. First, Coach Shug Jordan bas a dangerous outfit capable of shocking most any Secondly, Miami has not won a game away from home in three seasons.

A hex that bas been a gnawing sore spot to coaches, players and fans. The Birmingham game is the first, road contest of this season for the Hurricanes. Even the most rabid fans know Alabama, a slow starter but a Marciano finisher, will be tough. And the finale with Florida is one of those traditional rivalry things. A line that has exceeded the expectations of coaches, and a flashy corps of backs, mostly sophs, have boosted the Hurricane claim to being the top independent team in the South after two losing seasons in 1952-53.

TWO FLASHY second year lads, Fullback Don Junior Bos-seler and Quarterback Mario Bonny. Bonofiglio, have in-i jected new power and deception In Miamis offense. Bosseler, who Coach Gustafson asserts may become an All-American before his U-M career ends, has been called terrific by every Miami opponent The 200-pounder from Batavia, N. has averaged approxi HOLLYWOOD MUFFLERS AUSTIN, Oct 16 (IP) The fired-up Arkansas Razorbacks, a band of fast moving opportunists, took a long jump toward their first Southwest Conference title in eight years today, smashing the once proud Texas Longhorns, 20-7. The convincing triumph, the first for Arkansas over Texas on the Longhorn field since 1938, gave the Razorbacks their fourth straight victory three of them in conference competition.

Two fast interceptions and recovery of a Texas fumble sent Time turns back for Vols' greats of '14-'28 KNOXVILLE, Oct. 16 Many a tall tale was told as members of Tennessee's epic and undefeated teams of 1914 and 1928 sat around the tables of plenty fortunate to have their old coaches, Zora Clevenger and Bob Neyland, the Moses of Tennessee's old days and modern days of success. I The homecoming for the coaches and players who lifted high the Orange and White banner reached its climax at the halftime of the 22nd battle with Alabama. And it was against Alabama both In 1914 and 1928 that the old troopers wanted to talk about And before the game there will probably never be a more dramatic silence in all Tennessees football than when Bob Neyland presented Gene McEver his All-American certificate as a member of the National Football Hall of Fame. Here was thd greatest of all Tennessee players standing before more than 40,000 mdpt of them with tears streaming down their faces humbly receiving recogntion for beginning Tennessees rise to the football heights to be rated second at the end of 26 years among the football powers of collegiate football.

Gerie McEver began the Neyland sage in returning the opening kickoff 98 yards against Alabama on a Summery aftesnoon in Tuscaloosa. Like the 1914 team that beat Alabama here in Knox-( ville, the 1921 flaming Sophomores, after upsetting Alabama, went on to become the second undefeated team in Tennessees history after the turn of the century. Red Matthews first cheer leader the big bully T. F. Hazen, the student manager of the 1914 team, held open house for the returning heroes of Tennessee's first championship team out on the Arrowhead Trail.

And more gracious hosts than Mrs. Hazen and Mr. Hazen (call me Fred) never made it so good for two speeding hours of tall tales. The first Introduction was to R. C.

(Red) Matthews, who was wearing the hat and armband he wore at the Alabama game in 1914. Here was a spry and charming professor of drawing at Tennessee 'as far back as 1907. He is credited with introducing the first cheering at football games in the Deep South after coming here from the University of Illinois. It was not until after World War I that cheering became more than a one or two-man job. I used to go up and down the sideline yelling Ut, ut, raw, raw, raw, said the old pro at cheerleading.

Then he broke in a mumble of Indian names. Mrs. Zora Clevenger came into the corner. And then it was told that through a friendship between a sister of Mrs. Matthews and Mrs.

Clevenger in old Munice, Coach Clevenger got his job as coach at Tennessee in 1911. He had played shortstop for both Spartanburg and Knoxville and got to know a lot of Knoxville citizens. And when it came time to change coaches, the Indiana back and baseball player got the job. And what a job he did in 1914 with his assistant, Miller (Brutus) Pontius, a former Michigan All-American linemen. Coach Clevenger moved into a group of his old players F.

F. Thomason, now dean of admissions at Tennessee; Lloyd Wolfe, Russ Lindsay, R. L. Taylor, A. M.

(Goat) Carroll, one of the all-time greatest; Farmer Kelly, Gen. Clifton B. Cates, a great Marine leader, who asked about Auburns Frank Hart; R. V. Kerr, S.

D. Bayer, who is superintendent of schools at Eutaw, Ala. Here was the time to get the dope on the Alabama game 17-7. "How did you beat Alabama?" Coach Clevenger was askeJ. Goat Carroll took a 35-yard pass from Bill May, the quarterback, to score the first touchdown and then kicked goal.

"No, we were never behind; then Carroll kicked a field goal from the 30. I dont know how far we went for the second touchdown, but Russell Lindsav, the fullback, bucked over from the five. When asked how Alabama scored, a roar went up and eyes became as large as saucers as the name of Bully Vandergraaf was mentioned in great awe. That boy they called Big Bully caught a fumble high over the line, and there was no stopping him as he rambled. I think, 35 yards to score.

He was a powerful, hard-running lineman. Then the old-timers went back to the 1918 Alabama gam in Tuscaloosa coming to Birmingham the next day to see the Au-burn-Vanderbilt game. I never forget that game, said Goat Carroll. Not because we lost it but what happened in the game. In some way a piece of equipment cut off one of Hog Vandergraafs ears.

He said, Take this ear; Im staying in the game, and he did. Those Vandergraaf brothers were all wonderful boys and good players Bully, great one. What offense did the 1914 Vols use? We had what they call the Tight-T, some singlewing and the Minnesota shift, said Coach Clevenger. Yes, and what is ruled clipping today was legal, said Lloyd Wolfe. We could tackle from behind, and any time we caught a player standing still we gave him a roll tackle.

And there were no such things as football knees. The only way I can account for so few knee injuries with clipping permitted is that players wore very short spikes. From the Alabama game the old-timers jumped to Vanderbilt telling how they had become the first Tennessee team to beat the Commodores since 1902-16-14. We outfoxed Dan McGugin, said one the old-timers. We changed the quarterback and left halfback, with the left half throwing to the quarterback for the surprise play of the game.

There were 19 lettermen on the 1914 team all but four are still living. And here were most of them some had made millions as capitalists and farmers, living again the most eventful year of their boyhood. Speaking praise for Tennessees arch rival one day a year Alabama.

Texas Coach Ed Price said Arkansas was better than his team in aU departments except spirit THEY HAD A BETTER offense, better running and passing and better defense against running and passing. And their kicking game was better. Thats the way it is when you get beat isnt it? he said.

Texas completed five of 16 for 60 yards but suffered five interceptions, two of which were converted into touchdowns.

Weak pass defense had contributed to Texas losses to Notre Dame and Oklahoma, and Texas had worked on that phase of the game in practice this week.
