and sent their army of 5000 supporters back to the Blue Grass country last night in a jubilant mood For the Vols and their legion of backers it was almost as disappointing as the tie games with Kentucky in 1928 1929 and 1931 The 35000 chilled spectators could hardly dream that there was a tie game in the making as they watched Tennessee take command at the half during which time they muffed three scoring opportunities Tennessee usually comes back with a zip after the rest period but this time it was the Wildcats who came roaring out on the gridiron bent on carrying the fight to the Vols
