Timekeeper Buddy Martin. Coach Called Them Swell Heads, So They Calm Down. Chattanooga Timet Special. KNOXVILLE, Sept. 21.

A two-hour scrimmage on Shields Watkins fity this morning brought to a close the third week of practice for the Volun teers. The Tennessee warriors celebrated with the best performance they turned in this season. Thursday afte noon Maj. Bob Neyland sent his tm sity crew against a raft of unorganized freshman for the purpose of polishing their offense. At it turned out, the frosh held possession of the ball for over half the time, while the regular were exhibiting the most ragged demon, stratlon a Neyland team ever ha shown.

At the end of that miserable after, noon, the big major called hia brlgad together and what he told them ni plenty. He accused the: Vols of "swell headedness and publicity seekers." Whenever a team tries to replac fight with cleverness that due for plenty lickings, the Vol mentor told them. Continually they tell you boys you're good and you're fooh enough to believe them. You're the lousiest team I have eves coached." That stem lecture brought results to. day.

It was a Neyland team that took the field against a stubborn band of freshman. Gene McEver, Buddy Hack, man and Paul Heydrick, the gret triple-threat back, who came up from the 1928 fresh ranks, romped and snort-ed all over the gridiron until a total of seventy points had been registers! The timing of plays, though still bad, was a great improvement over Thun-days demonstration. Heydrlcks broken field running was on paj with that of McEver and Hackman. Besides racing through the freshmen for four touchdowns, Heydrick delivered a per-fleet drop kick from the forty-five-jvd line. His punting was above the average.

The Vols open the season Saturtiy on Shields Watkins field against the Colonels of Centre college. The starting line-up will be composed of Finney, center; Thayer and Fuller, guards; San ders and Beene, tackles, and Brandt and Hug, ends. Neyland will start i secondary quartet composed of Hack' man and McEver, halves; Dodd, quarter, and Disney, fullback. Capt.

Bill Ward Makes Merry Through Opposing Line for Long Gains. PEDAGOGUES OUTCLASSED AS DREWMEN WIN EASILY Tennessee Coaches on Hand to Look Over Locals for Contest Here Saturday Week -Line Still Erratic. University of Chattanooga Moccasins opened the defense of their S.

X. A. A. football championship at Chamberlain field yesterday afternoon by smothering the Middle Tennessee State normal pupils, 40 to 0. A crowd of approximately 4,000 of the faithful turned out to see the Moccasins make their debut and were well repaid with an afternoon of the grid Iron pastime, which sparkled one moment and lapsed Jnto the ridiculous the next.

In short, it was a typical opening season game. While the Drewmen showed a world of potential power, lots of polishing off is necessary before that strength can be transformed into victories over the Purple Hurricane, Tennessee Vols and Alabama Crimson Tide, and those three gaunt obstacles cast their shadows across the Moccasin trail for the next three Saturday afternoons. The game was well scouted, if nothing else. Maj. Bob Neyland, of the University of Tennessee, with his line coach, Capt.

Paul Parker, headed the list of visiting observers. Alabama and Furman were represented by two men each and a few other scouts were scattered about Just for the sake of variety. Fans were reminded of tense moments of the 1928 struggle which landed the Blue and Gold standards atop the S. I. A.

A. flag pole when Ken Strong went in for some plain and fancy broken field running. Ken got away for a good start toward high scoring honors by breaking across the goal line three times. Bill Ward, that veteran who can plow his way through a concrete wall, If necessary, made merry with the Pedagogues time after time, by slashing off short bits of yardage and then snagged a few passes from the hands of Overmeyer. The educated toe of Donny and his all-around generalship also caused a bit of reminiscing.

Chattanooga Timet Special. ATHENS, Sept. 21. Uncorking a speedy aerial attack that resulted in two touchdowns, Tennessee Wesleyan defeated, this afternoon, the University of Chattanooga freshmen 13 to 0. It was a thrilling afternoon of fqot-ball that a large crowd of fans saw, and the brand of gridiron play dished out was far superior to that expected.

Both Wesleyan touchdowns came as a result of short passes to Wilson, following long drives up the field, in which the entire backfield participated. Murphy was the outstanding yardage gainer in these attacks on the Moccasin freshmen. The Wesleyan interference clicked in midseason form and the excellent work of the line vwas far above the fondest expectations of local fans. Murphy's punting also was a big factor in keeping the visitors from threatening more -frequently. The Freshman line held for downs many times and the Wesleyans were forced to take to the air for their gains.

Coaches Vlers and Barrett brought a sadly crippled squad to Athens and Above pictures show three of the more exciting phases of the opening game of the for the Chattanooga Moccasins, which resulted in a victory for the Drewmen, 40 to 0.

VANDERBILT AND TECH AGREE NOT TO SCOUT NASHVILLE, Sept. 21 (F). Vanderbilt university and Georgia Tech officials have entered Into a nonscouting agreement for the 1929 football season, Dan McGuigan, head coach of the Commodores, announced here this afternoon.
