Southern Methodist today to nail down their 18th successive football triumph 19-7 Just as advertised the Methodists unbeaten until this spectacular scrap give in until the final four minutes when the Cadets wrapped up their ball game with a sorely-needed third touchdown Old No 39 the runaway All-America fullback and a spindly-legged kid named Bill Conatser beat back the Methodists First it long

Sunday The irony of mishap was that Major Neyland had flirted with the idea of taking him out of the game several plays earlier The Vol coach tonight recalled that he had a similar hunch to remove George Cafego from The Citadel game last year in which the star tailback suffered a'knee injury that marred his career Memphis supporters of the Vols are not overly fond of the 1941 schedule as announced the other'day Fans with whom we talked cannot see much percentage in playing Cincinnati and Dayton Against the hopelessly outclassed Lynx Tennessee played the same vicious brand of football that routed LSU one week previously The blocking at the line of scrimmage and downfield was terrific On 40-yard touchdown ramble not an alien hand was laid on him so effective was his Interference In spite of the fact that this is probably the greatest Tennessee team yet no send-off has been received on either of the two trips made to date The usually tactiturn Neyland praised effectively the performance of his athletes against Southwestern He thought the deportment of the Vols was particularly good considering the adverse weather condition The U-T tutor also had a few kind words to say in behalf of the Lynx" He said the game might have been considerably closer had not the locals made some mistakes in judgment evidently referring to the selection of plays Abe Shires finally turned on the heat and played the type of football of which heis so highly capable It was perhaps his best game as Vol Ray Graves put a toe into one of the longest kickoffs In gridiron history The ball soared over the end zone and into the crowd It struck a spectator in the face Traveling around 85 yards We have never seen so many umbrellas displayed at any one football contest It looked from the press box as though some one might have an umbrella concession at Crump Stadium About 10000 fans sat through the contest Undoubtedly their patience was held by a great group of Vols who paid no particular attention to Jupiter JPluvius The Vols blocked and tackled as though their very lives depended on their individual performances Marshall (Abe) Shires giant blond -headed tackle played one of the most vicious games of his career He played as though he might be facing one of the great teams of the nation Many able players have a tendency to let up against so-called breathers but not this West Virginia kid It looks like Shires means real business from here on out It was sort of a pathetic sight to see Bob Suffridge brilliant Vol guard helped off the field to the dressing room after sustaining a bad ankle injury in the third quarter Suffridge like Shires displayed determined effort to crush the Lynx every time they had their palms on the pig skin One time during the melee Suffridge used his tremendous arms with such a shocking force that he knocked the man in front of him all the way back to the passer and hit the flinger with such force that he not only failed to get the ball away but he crumbled in a heap from the terrific charge Ike Peel powerhouse blocker displaying his wares before his West Tennessee homefolk blocked like he has never blocked before Time after time it was Peel who made devastating blocks that cleared the way for the brilliant Vol runners Memphis folks say the Vols have no greater supporter than the genial Ed Crump He sat throughout the contest with a group of friends and they too were huddled under the umbrellas -The entire University of Tennessee band made their appearance here today and tooted the brass as though they might have felt that it would take music to soothe the minds of the wild beasts from Southwestern University Their usual fine in between half activities caught the eye of the people who make their homes on the banks of the lazy Mississippi Rain dripped from the caps and the horns of the music makers but this seemed to make no difference as they Tigers Down Dartmouth By 14-9 Margin PRINCETON Nov 9
