Oct. 21 powerful Plainsmen were chained to their own goal posts today by a mighty George Washington team that turned on full power in the final period to romp home to a 19-6 decision in the first meeting of the two teams.

It was one of the most courageous of all Tennetsee elevens that met the rampant charge of the Red Elephants yesterday, and the crying, bruised Orange-shirted warriors left the field more glorious in defeat than they have ever been In victory.

Tennessee poured out its football soul. and the dying moments of the game found them halted only six yards from the promised land. It might just as well have been 600 yards. FEATHERS SCORES Beattie Feathers, running with power that would have done credit even to the great McEver, lowered his head near the end of the second quarter, and climaxed an invincible Vol drive down the field by plunging over from the 1-yard line. It was a power play that found the Bristol Antelope at his best.

But Alabama had waited long enough for victory. Frank Thomas gave them an inspiring talk -between halves. He asked them to go back and give their best. And Alabama in the second half tore through the riddled ranks of the Vols for the first victory since 1930.

Last Saturday Tennessee played a good game but was not ready. so to speak. Today they were about 100 per cent.

IMPRESSED BY SPIRIT Coach Britton. who sat next to me, says that hey have lost the services of two or three of their good players and that no doubt has meant a good deal to the morale of the whole team. It seemed to me, if they had just a little more punch they could have won this game. It is difficult to sit on the side lines and tell what makes a team win or lose; almost as difficult in fact as it is to write a story telling you why your old school won a good game against an opponent whom you had bet on. I have been impressed by the spirit In which Knoxvillians and Tennessee supporters take their medicine.

"they surely outplayed us and deserved to win." Murphy said a lot of other things abwit Duke, and after reading his story I could see that the whole thing was most sincere. You have to band It to Southerners. They know how to handle any situation. And after seeingan excellent sports writer like Murphy put aside his feeling and tell the folks- what really happened well. always think kindly of Knoxville and Tennessee.
