Vandy famous last season He is a defensive gem a great pas receiver a fleet man at covering punt and generally so aggressive that his pres-nce on a football club rather Inspires the outfit to mighty

football team and most of the coaches cf a team that opposed Tech had good things to say of him Tunis pretty fair reckon ng for a sophomore and that makes him a marked man in ft year that produced such ends as Abernathy of Vanderbilt Waddy of Tech Hog and Alley of Tennessee and Fllp-ptn of Virginia Drury at Tackle Tinsley of was an outstanding tackle laat year and he both captained the Tigers and led them this year Big and fast no plays can find their way over him without a battle and on offense he is just naturally a bear in opening holes He is a hard sure tackier and an unusually fast charger among other things The other tackle post goes to a man whose recognition as a star was rather dimmed beer use he plaved In a line of stars Kentucky had a giant line and a great line possibly the greatest line in the conference This line nearly ruined Vandy and softened the Horn mode res for Georgia Tech and this Una wrecked hopes lor a conference championship And Pete Drury was probably the main unit in great forward wall A husky quick-moving behemoth he was ever and anon gumming up someone's football game and his choice over such tackles as Sneer of Tech Bunker of IT Luke of Virginia and Burnett of Ole Miss stamps him as a mong the truly great As to guards there are Dumpy Hagler of Alabama and Bull Brown of Vandy Hagler has been in the thick of every ono of Alabama's
