thrilled more than 20000 spectators who watched the bristling touchdown duel on a perfect football afternoon While the Volunteers won as they should have Coach Scrappy Moore's Moccasins distinguished themselves by their sterling offensive performance It eras the first time that a Chattanooga team had ever scored as many as three touchdowns on the Vols in their 26 meetings It was a game in which defensive caution was thrown to the wind Both teams played a daring type of game-trying for touchdowns instead of first downs Savage blocking which paved the way for many of long runs proved extremely costly when Edd Cantrell a senior end suffered a back injury which will sideline him for the remainder of the season He was hurt in the third period while making a block that enabled wingback Bill

3 in the country Despite leaving three of their top four ends and their No quarterback on the bench with injuries LSU made it interesting for about 20 minutes Then Tech's depth power speed and
