touchdown by Harris Back in 1928 1929 and 1930 Bobby Dodd learned a lession from Bob Neyland that enabled him to win All-American recognition while the Vols were acquiring national acclaim That lesson is paying off for Dodd today It was a simple one: the other team make a mistake and take advantage of Numerous times we saw Dodd take advantage of an mistake The foe would fumble an alert Vol would pounce on the ball and then Dodd would pass for a touchdown He altered the lesson yesterday A Vol fumbled a ball-hawking Techman would pounce on the bouncer Instead of passing Dodd had Darrell Crawford calling for wide sweeps and knifing thrusts at the line They paid off with three touchdowns after three Tennessee miscues To the fans who saw game but see the Tennessee-North Carolina merely say Tech did to Tennessee yesterday HARRIS what the Vols did to the Tar Heels last week Carolina made the mistakes Tennessee the points It was the reverse yesterday Bobby Dodd got his first ride off Shields-Watkins field yesterday as a coach It was one play premature but it had all the thrills that go with such an event The Techmen grabbed Dodd when they thought the game was over and rode him to mid-field to meet Bob Neyland The General was there and offered congratulations After much ado about little the officials finally the field cleared and 22 men back for the final play Dodd raced to the dressing room to greet his boys He came back to the South end of the field draped across the fence and beamed He was a wreath of smiles as friends came along to offer great game I Most of the compliments were tossed toward Darrell Crawford who like Dodd got his football start at Kingsport Crawford was perfect -in the manner he handled the assignments He handled things like a veteran and Dodd now realises he is entrenched for two more years at this position 1 all deserve was way of paying tribute to the Techmen You could tell his heart was with Crawford and 138-pound Jimmy Jordan Families were on hand to see Tennessee sons In action Among those present were the families of Gordon Polofsky Bernie Sisemore Bert Rechichar Paul Gearing Ted Daffer Bill Jasper Roger Coggins and Bud Sherrod Among the scouts on hand were Harold (Red) Drew head coach at Alabama and Assistant Tide Coach Malcolm Laney The Tidemen get Tech next week Kentucky was represented by Frank (Chesty) Mosely while Mississippi had Johnny Cain the former Alabama All-American who will be remembered by Tennessee fans for his punting duels with Beattie Feathers We wonder how Rufe (Pm a Farmer) Daniels of
