Oct Louisiana State University still smarting from the one-point defeat that cost her the Southeastern Conference football championship last year rose to the heights tonight and humbled mighty Vanderbilt 7-0 After three quarters of see-sawing up and down the field the Tigers broke loose More than 30-000 spectators at the homecoming game rose to their feet as Jake Staples 200-pound fullback for LSU fought his way from the Vandy 15-yard-strlpe over the-goal Two passes and an end run had brought the ball 40 yardd down the field to put It in scoring position Forced T- Punt Vanderbilt had been forced to punt in the middle of the fourth quarter when the husky LSU linesmen broke through three times to smother little Bert Marshall star back for the Commodores Marshall kicked to Erdman who brought it back to the Vandy 46 An off tackle play lost a yard and pass Simes to Staples was broken up by Housman Then Simes shot another pass IS yards like a "bullet into the hands of Erdman for a first down Staples skirted left end for eight yards Simes passed to pick up eight and the ball rested only 15 yards from the goal line Milner Warms lp Cotton Milner LSU's boy with the educated toe who spelled defeat for Rice Institute two weeks ago was warming up on the sidelines and Vanderbilt was ready for a field goal Staples however started around left end cut back and fought his way through lour or five Vanderbilt men and plunged over for the score Milner rushed into the game and booted the ball squarely between the posts for tha extra point The Vanderbilt Commodores with less than nine minutes to play opened up their bag of tricks but penalties cost them several gains After making two first downs on a pass Hollins to Franklin and an end run by Marshall which put the ball on LSU's 41-yard line Ralph Hinton Vandy end was caught slugging and ejected from the game The penalty was half the distance to the goal line Gov and Mrs Gordon Browning of Tennessee were on hand to wit-i(csn the game which had developed into a first class grudge battle Vanderbilt with a spotless record was aiming at the conference crown and LSU whose loss to Vandy on the hidden ball play last year had cost her the championship was just as anxious to keep her from it It was first loss of the season and the fourth time she had lost to LSU in eight games since 1902 LSU had won three and one game in 1933 was a tia in the series By their sterling triumph tha Tigers maintained the tradition of never losing a homecoming battle here Th llntup: Kaviniih VftmWrfiUI Mrelrrem clrlS Ram ftarniav McLamnr
