Tulano First downs 5 Yards sained rushins Forward passes attempted Forward passes completed Yards by forward passins Yards lost attempted forward passes Forward passes intercepted by. Yards sained, run-back of intercepted passes Puntins average (from scrimmage) 84 Total yards, all kicks returned 78 Opponents fumbles recovered 1 Yards lost by penalties George Hull Used No Mirrors There ia no use in accusing George Hull of carrying a movie camera around with him, because he does not. His two sequence shots leading off the sports section showing Bob An-dridges second touchdown are remarkable.

On all football action shots, George, after firing away, quickly changes the film and resets the shutter for a possible second picture of the same play. The plan clicked perfectly on the touchdown. Each picture was made at approximately eight-hundredth of a second. You will notice that the down-the-fleld blocking of the U. T.

is brought out by the pictures, as it is in any sequence shot of a Tennessee play that maybe taken. For instance, in the picture on the right, Vols have bobbed up from nowhere to block. You see only one convoy man in tha left picture just to Andridges left. In the other view, -two are near the goal line, another is pulling up on the 5-yard stripe and still another has dumped one or two men and is over on his knees at the 10-yard line. They Started Playing the Tennessee-Alabama Game Yesterday Red Drew, scouting for Alabama, was walking off the field here yesterday.

What did you see?" he was asked. Nothing," he said. Absolutely nothing. Just four Tennessee plays. He didnt add this, but It if a safe bet that at Tuscaloosa, where Alabama beat Mercer.

by a mere 20 to 0, the Tennessee scouts," Bill Britton and Hugh Faust, saw just as much. The main topic of conversation last night was the Ala-bama-Tennessee game at Knoxville Saturday, the appearance of the Vols here serving as a stimulant to the already red-hot enthusiasm over the game. Mixed in with praise for the stubborn fight the Moccasins made were: Are you going to the Tennessee-Alabama game at the Associated Preit.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 14 (IP). Smearing a constantly threatening passing attack, Tulane today defeated Fordham, 7 to 0, before 43,000 thrilled spectators, who saw the charging wave in the opening minutes brush the Rams aside for a 50-yard sweep to the game's only touchdown.

It was Tulane 's third straight victory. Four times thereafter the two Tulane powerhouse teams swept to within the Fordham 10-yard line by tearing Fordhams forward wall to pieces, but lacked the touchdown punch when the Rams stiffened. It was one of the largest crowds ever to see a regularly scheduled Tulane game. The highly touted Fordham defense was frequently riddled by the driving Green Wave, which rolled up sixteen first downs to only five made by Fordham. Coach Jim Crowley, of Fordham, See Page Fifteen, Column Six A' Column Seven HERES THE WAY THE CAMERA SAW U.

C. SHARP brought scores, probably accounts for that. Last fall at Knoxville the Moccasins were throwing passes and trying desperately to score. Intercepted passes and fumbles ran up the score for the Vols then, but the Moccasins offensive efforts were more Interesting to watch than the purely defensive tactics they displayed yesterday. Thats only natural.

Best description of Vols' defense They sure do get around in groups, dont they? Credit Moe Hasden, U. C. assistant manager. That goes for the offense, too, doesnt it, Moe? Bob (Slug) Bruney, the little round man who plays guard for U. C.

shone with his defensive work. He got his share of tackles and piled up several plays. None of the Moccasins was seriously injured. Mathis received a broken nose and Terry got a nerve hit, but all should be ready for Howard next Saturday at Birmingham. Don Barbee broke a finger.

Friends of popular Mickey OBrien the Chattanoogan who went from U. C. to become trainer at Tennessee, presented him with a traveling bag before the game. He received it in midfield while the captains were tossing the coin. The crowd 6,987 was disappointing, to put it mildly.

The stadium had been prepared to seat 12,000, and the turnout on a beautiful day for football fell far short of expectations. Chattanooga may still land, a game with Tennessee here year after next, but a larger crowd would have clinched it. U. C. probably will meet the Vols at Knoxville next fall, but no decision about the plans to bring the Neylands here every other year has been made.

The eighty-eight-piece Tennessee band, dressed in orange coats and white pants, and the sponsors, in white, put on a colorful parade between halves. They also drilled on the field before the game. Now that the Vols have come and gone, it to safe to bring up U. C. President Archie Palmers suggestion to limit Southeastern conference teams to twenty-two men when they are playing Dixie conference teams, or others of lesser caliber.

Surely, it would make such a football game more interesting, although I dont believe youll find officials of the big schools favoring such a change. Its a fine Idea with emphasis on sportsmanship, at that. Dr. Palmer was well pleased with the Moccasins showing, and pointed to the stand the U. C.

line made on its goal line in the last quarter and the fact that Tennessees first team scored only nine points against the Mooremen. At the end of the game, there were only eleven Vols in football uniforms, and they were playing. Which brings up the story about Sewanees leading Tennessee at the half a few years ago and Neyland sending out a hurry call for the regulars who already had dressed. It apparently to a Neyland policy to send players to the showers as soon as hes through using them; at least, when everythings going all right. III FIRST HALF Goal Only Counter in Last Half as Moccasins Hake Gallant Stand BY WIRT GAMMON Tennessees co-national champion Vols wanned up for next week's national headliner with Alabama by whipping a stubborn University of Chattanooga team here yesterday, 28 to 0 a score considered an achievement by the Moccasins.

The 6,987 fans, recalling the 45-to-0 lacing of a year ago, and the 40-to-0 trimming handed Sewanee this year, thrilled to the sheer dynamite of the IT. T. star-studded first teams 64-yard scoring march in the opening period, pile-driving Leonard Coffman going over the. goal line. ISea the crowd, about 3,000 short of expectations, sat back to cheer the batthng Moccasins for holding the Vols toe rest of the period, to give a hand to the U.

C. second team for doing as they did in the second quarter, to yell for the first team for holding the Vol regulars to a field goal in the third, and, finally, to Jump up and shout, as a mixture of tet and second-stringers staved off powerful reserve threats in the final nrd line drive. The Vols made rally three points in the second half. Bate Fun Before Facing Tide Tennessee, playing under wraps ith toe use of only about four plays, had their fun, fbr next Saturday they to against the powerhouse Tide team, rtich uses the same system of play 1 that, of Scrappy Moores fighting Moccasins. The Vols threw only two passes, hoto completed, and one for a touchdown.

They experimented by having Bob Foxx do the kicking for the first time in his college career, and he did enough, and by giving Billy Baraes a field goal try, which he drove through the uprights on a 13-hrd spurt. The toree-pointey brought to mind that toe U. T. team is giving thoughts to Sandy Sanford, Alabamas great Manufacturer of toe points. The Vols kicked on third downs, oocasins on first.

It settled down that. The first-down figures of 15 to Chattanoogas craning on an automatic penalty, give a true index to the way the Moccasin offense was wttled up. U. T. stopped them cold.

But Ed Terry, of South Pittsburg, ith boots of 52, 63 and 64 yards, Knoxville writers moaning, Wish to had him, despite some bad punts to had into the stands, with a strong i to tad whipping across the field. And another bright spot for the wcasins was the way Scrappy brand new two-team system feted. Players on Field at Same Time Presented a strange sight at the of the first and third quarters to both Maj. Bob Neyland and Jr substituted entire teams, forty-men being on the field at the a time.

I havent seen Alabama, but from the looks of those Vols, the Crimson Tide to going to have a real tough time next Saturday." That was Scrappys reaction to the way he Vols played. He has seen them against Sewanee and U.

C. and, being a coach, he pays attention to things the fans wouldnt notice much Johnny Butler, George Cafegos understudy, impressed Moore. "I like the way he runs, was Scrappys description Butler, who didnt stay in the ball game long enough to show much. "Theres not much to say about our team, he added. Our tackling wasnt very good and fumbling cost us some points, but you have to remember what a great team we were up against.

"I thought Ed Terry, Wilbert St. John and Capt. George Mathis played fine games. They made lots of tackles and were in there tattling. Tom Barber, Mike Kopcha, Bobby Ma tusek, Dan Murrell and Jack Gregory looked good, too.

14. The so-called Pittsburgh football bubble exploded today right In the faces of the Duke Blue Devils and It wasnt filled with laughing gas. Charley Bowsers mystery team turned back the potent Duke eleven, 14 to 13, in a game which kept nearly 50,000 bundled and blanketed spectators in various stages of hysteria throughout the crisp autumn afternoon. And the Pitt Panthers did it the hard way, coming from behind to tie the score in the second period, and coming from behind to win in the third. Jock Sutherland, the silent Scot, peered down from the press box to see his successors team, rated so-so in pre-season calculations and considered an enigma after two victories, play the favored southerners to a standstill.

Sutherland Sees Passing Team He didnt see a Sutherland football team. The relentless, crushing power of previous Pitt machines was missing, and in Its place was a brilliant, unpredictable offense. It was tight cavalry and pursuit planes in place of roaring tanks, and the crowd was thrilled to the marrow. Duke, with a brilliant kicker In George McAfee, started out as If to emulate its 1938 winning style punt and wait. McAfees first effort shoved the Panthers deep intq their own territory, and they couldnt dig out.

Once they halted a march on the 9, but shortly after the irrepressible George knifed through the left side of the Pitt line, reversed his field, and galloped thirty-seven yards before Dick Cassiano hauled him down on the Pitt 7. Four plays later Robbie Robinson nudged over from the 6-inch line, and Tony Ruffa place-kicked the goal. A ball which popped out of Wes McAfees arms like a polished watermelon and was gathered from the air by John Dickinson gave Pitt its break early in the second period. Dickinson roared down the sidelines thirty-seven yards to the Duke 10, and on the next play Emil Narick zipped a pass to Cassiano in the end zone. Ben Kish place-kicked goal to tie it up at 7 -all.

McAfee Scores on Pass Later in the period, after Gordon Burns had recovered a Pitt fumble on the Pitt 44, Leonard Darnell rambled nineteen yards on a double reverse. The Blue Devils pecked away until they reached the 10, where Ruffa passed to George McAfee in a corner of the end zone. Here Ruffa, with a record of twelve straight conversions, missed, and with his wide kick went a tie. Midway in the third period Robinson waved through an open field infested with Panthers until he reached Cassiano. He dodged the Pitt safety but as he whizzed by Cassiano hooked his arm and the ball went tumbling along the ground.

Cassiano recovered on the Pitt 43. The Panthers then tossed their most brilliant attack, a yard-by-yard, foot-by-foot, inch-by-inch drive which carried to the Duke 28 where, with fourth and four, Narick whirled the ball down the field to Cassiano, who Eee Page Fourteen Column Four ii 1 1 A y'VxM- ill'- V' 'I it Av 0-' V' 'K'. v.
