playing all except the first 10 minutes of the game Volunteers polished off a scrappy squad of Maryville college Scotties 34 to 0 at Shields-W atkins stadium yesterday afternoon before a crowd of 5000 fans Obviously saving his first-stringers for the Vanderbilt battle this week Major Bob Neyiand started his strongest eleven but removed them after they had rolled up a 14-0 advantage in the first period and was content to let the reserves finish out the game The second and third teams alternated during most of the remainder of the game with every available member of the squad taking part in the contest It was strictly Tennessee's game from the start although Coach Scotties put up stubborn battle to the final whistle Maryville threatened but once during the afternoon and that came in the second period when Bailey fumbled punt on his own 15-yard line and Proffitt recovered for the Scotties THREAT VANISHES But another fumble gave Tennessee possession of the ball again and greatest threat vanished into thin air The Vols scored on the third play of the game and their first play after gaining possession of the ball on a fumble With the ball on 25-yard line where McCar-ren had recovered Overly fumble Phil Dickens faded back on the first play and flipped a touchdown to Gerald Hendricks who took the ball on the goal line Five minutes later the Vols were knocking on the touchdown gate' for the second time It was climaxed by pass to Fish Herring from the eight-yard line into the end zone Dickens added the extra point after Herring had booted the point after the first score The second team took the field et this point and a scrapping Scot defense held It scoreless during the remainder of the quarter at which time the third team went Into the game Again the seoond team took the field about midway of the second period and pushed over a pair of touchdowns to give the Vols a 27-0 command at half-time Starting from the Scot 32 Wood picked up eight yards in two tries but the Vols were penalized 15 for holding Perkins rammed the line to the Maryville 32 and Duncan took the ball on a reverse and scampered across the double stripes Porter booted the extra point After the next exchange of punts Tennessee started from its own 41 and drove for the fourth touchdown climaxed by 32-yard jaunt through the Maryville fore-wall and secondary The half ended right after the next kickoff The fifth and final marker wa manufactured in the fourth quarter two minutes before the period ended Starting from the Scot 48 the second team drove to the Maryville six where the line held But Epperson took the ball on a reverse around his own left end for the score Sneed drop-kicked the extra point SHINES Junior triple-threat halfback was outstanding in the Maryville lineup He threw two completed passes and had a punting average of '39 yards only one lesa than 40-yard average in addition to carrying the ball fo several gains Capt Crawford also shone in the backfield with Renfro Proffitt and Cochran playing stellar ball in the line Tennessee substitutions were so frequent there was little chance to check on Individual performances but all the Vols turned in a neat performance So far as could be determined last night no Injuries were incurred which will hurt the Orangemen for the Vanderbilt fray this week Summary MARYVILLE (0) TENNESSEE (84) Position Alexander
