second greatest team whereas only ranking was rank had to be content with two humble points They were tallied in the third period when one of Cadet Bob many fine punts rolled out of bounds on 12 and Midshipman Bob Zastrow of Algoma Wis a guided missile of destruction submitted to Army tacklers in his own end sone scores came as explosive climaxes of two drives of 28 and G4 yards drives which saw the enormous potentialities of the Middle squad suddenly co-ordinate and flung forth with reckless skill Until today this was just another Navy team It had won only two of its eight victories over Southern California and Columbia But from the time the heavily-guarded President Truman flipped a coin in the overcoated mob and Navy won the toss it was a ball game of unmitigated fury What its

outgained Army on the ground by 200 yards to 77 and out-pitched it thanks to the remarkable Zastrow It was a defense that let vaunted attack break itself like an eggshell flung against it It was a defense which lor Instance threw an almost embarrassing blanket over All-America end and pass catcher Dan Foldberg of Dallas touchdowns were scored by Zastrow and Jim Baldinger a midshipman from

WALTER STEWART Sports Editor DUDLEY FIELD NASHVILLE Dec Working with the methodical ruthlessness of union butchers putting in a hearty day at the stockyards the University of Tennessee football team dissected the Vanderbilt Commodores 43-0 this sad Saturday and left spare parts scattered all over the central sector Desperately gallant in disaster but out-gunned from flank to flank and flag to flag Van' dsrbilt made a stirring spectacle of it for two periods The score was just 10-0 at the end of the half and the dangerous had stampeded to the high winds that turned back many hopefuls an unusually large crowd tried its luck Better than half the nimrods bagged limits but Wheeler stated that it would take a three-foot rise before conditions would be ideal Among the successful hunters were Lily of Pontotoc Miss and Atkinson of Houston Miss If the winds die Wheeler expects successful hunting today at Arkabutla Reelfoot Lake hunters' got their share too according to Sharpy Shaw of

slices too tough at the end of both safaris and Vanderbilt had no further opportunity until the end of the game when sweating against loot from the bottom of the orange barrel the last play died on the Tennessee one Tennessee simply had too many first class ball too much poise and power and bruising depth The Volunteers were able to maintain a alight mastery while Vanderbilt was fresh and when the Commodores wore thin the levee broke and pitifully few refugees reached the hills -Statistics Are Close This was an afternoon of gloomy skiea and splattering rain A rowdy wind knifed down from the South and 28000 fanciers of violence saw one rather wonderful half and one you can give back to the if the latter will accept Those who began to seek an early dinner while the end was yet afar off may be amazed at statistics which hint at rather well balanced attackers Tennessee harvested only two more first downs than did Vanderbilt and topped the Commodores by only 73 yards But after Tennessee began churning third-period sod the issue was never even mildly on doubt Tennessee needed 13 minutes and 50 seconds to discover the nutritive values of the end zone reached it at the end of an 88-yard offensive when hustlin' Hank Lauricella rapped end Vince Kascta with a pass worth 27 yards And only 10 plays were left in the half when Fat Shires kicked a 27-yard field goal to loosen Gen Robert
