PUG VAUGHN BEATTIE FEATHERS Heading for almost certain All-American fame Beattie Feathers, the bounding ante- i lope from Bristol, gave the nation's capital one of its greatest football thrills yesterday by 1 his capers in Griffith stadium. Yesterday Feathers scored both of Tennessee's touchdowns, was a power on defense and was punting far and wide on all punts. From his play against George Washington Feathers most certainly will receive much consideration when the All-American rolls are made.

Charlie Vaughn and Freddie Moses assisted Feathers in the offensive. Vaughn's passes were right to the mark, and it was his pass in the secon3 quarter that gave the Vols a touchdown lead. Moses, the sophomore quarterback, again stood the test. He returned one punt I 7 yards before being downed and ran the Vol team in a smart manner. immortal hall of fame.

After playing 57 minutes of football, in which he scored both touchdowns, thrilling both friend and foe with his uncanny kicking, and doing the grandest job of defensive work ever seen in the capital, Beattie Feathers WaS called to the bench in the final minutes. He had just battered through sturdy defensive barriers, and the ball was on G. W.ls nine-Nard-linealmost a sure touchdown. Neyland the sportsman. gentleman and army officer supreme, refused to pour oil on the troubled waters of George Washington.

Feathers walked from the field to the biggest ovation of the dayand probably the. most sincere gesture ever paid any football player here. His face was scratched. His nose was bleeding. There was dust in his eyesand his own mates admitted after the game that Beattie was half-blind from dust during the last quarter.

There was a cruel mark down one of his cheeks and his jersey was tattered and torn. Neyland stepped out for the first time of the afternoon and put his arms around the tires but glorious warrior. The climax came after the game had been tucked away, and the Vas were whooping 'cm up on their way back to the ho "Say," said Feathers to little Leo "didn't that Sheriff pull us out of a tough hole today?" Frankly, I thought the boys would fall in the aisles, of course, they appreciated what Maples did in that first quarter, but there was Beattie Feathers, the greatest football player in the world, who had scored both touchdowns, paying a tribute to his captain and leader. If that's not something or otherwell, you ask me one. The concensus of opinion among Washington newspaper scribes is that one of the greatest games ever played by an individual player in Washington was shown by Beattie Feathers, Vol halfback.

immortal hall of fame. After playing 57 minutes of football, in which he scored both touchdowns, thrilling both friend and foe with .1 I I I Blue Devils Continue March In 13-7 Victory Over .7: I 4, Casey Kimbrell Is Big Show, Running 75 Yards for Tigers' Touchdown.

He eclipsed all others In yardage gaine d. and his punts were positively breath-taking. Never did Heinle Manush. Sam Rice. Goose Gosliu or any of the others attempt greater catches in the outfield at Griffith stadium than George Washington's safety men today.

Always. and eternally. they were running- backward. trying desperately to make one-handed stabs of Feathers' explosions that ranged all the way from 66 yards to 47 yards. Never once did he average less than the last figure.

STOLE ENTIRE SHOW Never did a Tennessee back carry such a heavy load as Feathers shouldered today. He guarded Tennessee's bridge of glory. On defense he was a driving demon, tackling and breaking up pases with such reckless abandon that even the men in the huge press box pleaded that Neyland remove this great man. "Take Feathers out." yelled one. "so we can have a football game.

There is no need of one man stealing the whole show." It was near the end et the first half that Pug Vaughn, standing on the 23-yard line. shoved one down the middle with control that would have done justice to Carl Hubbell. a Beattie Feathers danced through the George Washington secondary. leaped high in the air. and came down across the final marker where only the milk and honey are supposed to flow.

The same Feathers climaxed a drive in the third quarter by cutting oft tackle from the IO-yard line for a touchdown. He drug two Colonials the last five yards. and they were forced to jump to their feet and slap the great back in more or leas affectionate style. CROWD ROARS ACCLAIM In the last stages of the November day. just when the wild geese who watch over the Potomac were becoming quite disturbed.

Beattie Feathers started another drive. He made a 30-yard run around end. added 16 yards more on two tries at the line. With anothei touchdown apparently assured. the mighty Feathers was withdrawn from the game with only three minutes left to play.

His departure found the vast as AN ALL-AMERICAN Harry Costello, football expert for the Washington Times, said: "For 25 years, boy and man, I have been connected with football. I wish to go on record as say. irtg that Beattie Feathers absolutely is an All-American halfback. He is the greatest performer I have ever seen since my own playing days when the Big Indianthe greatest of them allJim Thorpeperformed. Beattie's ono punt, coupled with Tennessee's strategy in punting when the Vols did on this particular occasion decided the issue.

Feathers, a hard runner, has what I cad'an athletic He is a natural. His greatness revolves around his terrific leg-drive and around his spirit which is indominatable. Truly, Feathers is a great back, but he is more than that he is the very soul of Tennessee's attack, for without him, and without Tennessee's smartness, the Vols would be lost. "I feel that, for his inches, the gteatest player I have seen in nearly two decades, is this little devil, Freddie Moses. My real kick out of the game was drawn from the play of Moses.

I love the little fellow who can 'take Moses can take He is smart, too, and his choice of plays at the psychological moment won for Tennessee, but not without Beattie Feathers.
