Battling desperately after Kentucky matched its touchdown, by blocking a punt in the final period, Tennessee made a bid for victory with MeEver's powerful running attack that took the ball from their 25-yard line to within 12 inches of a touchdown. There the Wildeats stopped MeEver after he had led the way for four first downs and what appeared to a certain score. be" The day was not quite so cold as three years ago when on the same field Kentucky outplayed and held Tennessee to a similar 6 to 6 tie, but the chill was just as deep to the Vols as it again cheated them of their claim to championship honors of the Southern Conference with Tulane.

Make It a Habit. It was the third time in four years the Wildcats battled the Vols to a draw. In 1928 they played a scoreless tie at Knoxville, in 1929 the count was 6 to 6 at Lexington. Tennessee, favored to win today's game by two or more touchdowns, found the fierce fighting serious threat throughout the game. For the first three periods Kentucky and Tennessee battled on terms.

In fourth fairly, Beatty Feathers, then substitute half for Allen, ran yards for the first score of the game. Kohlhase failed on the try for the extra point. A few minutes later Ralph Kercheval of Kentucky put the ball in enemy territory with a long punt. Feathers' punt was blocked by Captain Babe Wright. Butch Kreuter, left end, grabbed it and ran 18 yards for the tying score.

Wright attempted to placekick for the extra point but the ball missed the uprights by several feet. Kentucky had another chance to score when Feathers failed to get away a punt on his 20-yard line but Mark of the Vols recovered Kercheval's fumble. Feathers then got away for a 20-yard gain. McEver was unstoppable for the next few minutes and carried the ball to Kentucky's one-foot line on a series of line bucks but the Wildcats nailed him when he attempted his victory plunges. Kercheval punted from behind his goal line to the 43-yard line.

Kentucky made eight first downs against Tennessee's ten, and gained 155 yards from scrimmage against Tennessee's 230. Neither team did much with forward passes. One of two tries by Kentucky was incomplete and the other was intercepted. Tennessee attempted six with three incomplete and three intercepted.

Nov. battel-scarred Tigers ended a poor season in a burst of glory here today by rising to unexpected heights to hold Furman, its ancient and highly-favored enemy, to a scoreless tie. Clemson's valiant fight was almost offset by Flucie Stewart in the closing minutes of play when the Texan blocked Miller's kick and Bill Wells recovered on Clemson's 20-yard line. One first down was hammered out by the Hurricane, and seven of the final ten yards were gained on three rushes.

With the ball on the threeyard line, Wells dropped back to the 12-yard line and tried for a field goal. The ball scooted to one side of the posts and a few moments later the game ended. The fight was not all in Tiger territory, however. Each team threatened on several occasions, but neither side was able to push over any points. Furman's late rally was the most dangerous scoring threat.

When the game was young a Clemson dropkick went wide. Gov. Ibra C. Blackwood, and approximately 9,000 other spectators saw the Tigers refuse Furman a vietory, which would have been their first over Clemson since 1927. Furman made 14 first downs to Clemson's 4.

Wildcats supporters. Davidson's Threats. ing to end in another scoreless affair. In the third period and at the beginning of the fourth Davidson supporters thought that the Wildeats were going to break the jinx that the Baptists have held over them since 1920. But in the last eight minutes of play there was no tion of the outcome.

Two stalwart lines pitted against one another today gave fans all they wished for in defensive play, both stood up nobly when their goal lines were threatened and it was through the overhead route that Wake was able to gain its victory. But this one perfectly executed pass was the deciding factor. It will be recalled that Wake Forest's two touchdowns against Davidson last year came from air attacks, the forward walls today reenacting their playing of one year ago. It was a thrilling game. It WAS cleanly played considering the tense rivalry between the two institutions.

It was a tussle from the beginning until the end but heavier Wake Forest line had blasted the resistance of the lighter Davidson team and when the Deacons started their offensive, it clicked with regularity and dismay for the But Davidson had its inning and a powerful one at that, though it was not a scoring inning. It happened mostly in the third period. The Wildcats drove to Wake Forest's 18-yard line on a 40 yard march, only to be held by the Deacon line. They returned a few minutes later to the Deacons' four yard line, but again seven men bunched together to stop the, attack. And finally as the fourth quarter opened they made 3 36-yard march which had started deep in Davidson territory after a beautiful 53-yard punt by Bradley of the Deacons.

Leading Line Players. It would be difficult to single out the linesmen who played star roles today for the 14 men literally played their heads off. Special mention, however, should be given to Green and Dupree, end and guard, respectively, of Wake Forest, the former covering himself with glory in going down under punts and stopping plays around his flank. The two giant tackles, Webb and Williams, formed an inpenetrable wall, while Captain Brogden played niftily on end: Gardner, Davidson's ace center, took first honors for the Wildcats today, playing all over the field, meeting the Wake Forest backs or throwing them for losses. There were few plays in which he did not participate.

Mathis, guard, and Whitfield, tackle, were the other two linesmen to whom special mention should go, for they figured most prominently in Davidson's defensive play. Mathis was exceptionally good on the offense, too. Wilson Leads Deacons. Dune Wilson was the Deacon back who did lots of damage to Davidson today, being backed up strongly by Bradley. Pearce was the Davidson feature backfield player.

Pearce got off two of his famous kicks today, one for 56 yards and another for 69. He proved the best groundgainer for Davidson and completed passes for 33 and 16 yards. MacQueen played his usual excellent game at fullback. First Period. Although Wake Forest made the only two first downs garnered in the first period, most of the initial quarter was played in Deacon territory because of Pearce's long punts.

Early the bracket Wilson clipped off eight and Bradley seven for a first down, but from then until a few minutes before the period ended it was a kicking duel. Wilson passed to Green for 15 yards and first down to put Wake Forest on its own 49- yard marked, as the stanza closed. Second Quarter. Wake Forest started a passing attack in the second period, but Gardner cut this off by intercepting Wilson's heave. Soon afterward, Davidson had its chance, when Bradley made a seven-yard kick out of bounds on his 38-yard marker.

Mills clicked off eight and MacQueen six to give Davidson its initial first down. Davidson got six yards in three plays, and Mills' pass to King over the goal line was knocked down by Wilson. Davidson had another chance to. score in this period. Pearce's punt hit Hutchins and Raker recovered for Davidson on the Deacon 26-yard line, but Dupree promptly intercepted Mills' pass to end the threat.

Hipps of the Deacons jaunted 33 yards just before the half closed for the longest run of the game from scrimmage. Third Period. As the second half started, Pearce got eight and McQueen five to net a first down, but Pearce was forced to kick over the goal line from the Deacons' 40. Bradley kicked back, and then Pearce slipped for yards and first down to Wake Forest's 37. Two line thrusts netted yards, and Pearce passed to Brown for eight yards and another first down.

On the fourth play Davidson missed another first by a yard. toward Wake Forest's goal. Soon the Wildcats again passed to King for a 33-yard gain. Pearce and McQueen together made 18 yards and a first down to Wake Forest's 15. But the Deacon line staunchly held, and Davidson missed first down by two feet on the fouryard line.

As the quarter ended Bradley made his long 53-yard kick to put the Wildeats on their own 31. Fourth Period. The Wildcats started another drive to open the fourth period. Pearce made 11 yards and first down in three trials, and then passed 16 yards to King for first down on Wake Forest's 41. The Davidson threat ended and the ball changed hands on the Deacons' 33, when Davidson could not penetrate the Baptist wall.

After an exchange of punts, Wake Forest had the ball on its own 40, and from then on it was the Deacons' game. The Deacons Start. Briefly, it follows: Wilson, 15 yards and first down. Bradley, Wilson, 7 6 1-2; and Bradley, first. 1-2 Bradley, and first.

Wilson made 12, but Bradley failed to make first down on Davidson's five-yard line. Hutchins returned Pearce's punt 25 yards to Davidson's 25-yard line On the next play Wilson flipped 18- yard pass to Brogden, who evaded the clutches of Pearce and Peabody and ran seven yards to score.

Hutchins shot a pass to Wilson for the extra point. After the final kick-off, Bradley intercepted Pearce's pass and returned five yards to Davidson's 35. Edwards made one, and Hipps got 16 and first down to Davidson's 18. Bradley lost seven, but Davidson was CLASS SCHOOLS CLASH FOR TITLE Apex Plays Reidsville in Kenan Stadium Today For State Championship Chapel Hill, Nov. and Reidsville high elevens, eastern and western champions, meet in Kenant Stadium here tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock for the Class high school football championship of the State.
