great game and that T' Gene Moeller and Francis Holohan were especially outstanding Moeller is the junior lineback from Davenport la who recov- lered two fumbles and intercepted two passes Holohan is a defensive i guard' "I thought that our offensive team sputtered around too the Vol mentor continued "Our punting wasn't as good as usual" "We decided to play Ray Byrd today and we thought he did Very well and so did Billy Blackstock in the punt-returning de-partment" Neyland had been considering holding Byrd a former Knoxville High School star out of play this season The ex-Trojan did all

according to onr and to onr high- expectations "We planned our strategy hoping Tennessee would make the 'first costly mistake But they and we did and our mistakes cost The Blue Devil mentor had high praise for his defensive unit "if our offensive team had equalled the play of our defensive team then it would have been an Interesting contest As it was they just kicked us good In our first two

frowning on 20 infractions in the first half the University of Tennessee manhandled another foe here today with an effort of 26 points Third best on the field was visiting Duke University with a total of zero "Tennessee may not be the No 1 team as Gen Bob Neyland methodically cautions but until that superior outfit is re-: vealed not going to be safe to bet against the Vols "The Orange and White deviating from ragged to brilliant put a complete check on the two-game winning streak of the Blue Devi's And toward the last despite hot weather that furnished a steam Lath for the 45000 present were getting sharper "1 might have been a good game had the officials let the boys play There were more flags on the field than can be displayed at the United Nations on a windy day "Tennessee seems to have everything necessary for another great season That tailback Hank Lauricella is a wonder to behold Fullback Andy Kozar bashes the line like a stray boulder Herky Payne provides the pressure running and the defense is more solid than a Russian block on a peace vote "Special mention goes to the destructive tactics of Pug Pear-man who was snatched from the shadows of the Duke campus and transplanted as a Vol left tackle The Charlotte (N C) wild man turned in his usual anti-Chamber of Commerce performance wrecking everything dear to those hearts in his home TENNESSEE FOLLOWED PATTERN MADE THEIR BREAKS AND THEN CASHED SMITH BARRIER Sports Editor Daily News Greensboro "The Tennessee pattern of football victories enveloped Duke's undefeated string in the hot sun here today and the

"It was that way yesterday the longest touchdown drive being 48 yards but that as well as the first downs (9-8 for the Vols) can he deceiving For the 45000 fans it was Tennessee dominance even with second and third stringers in the ball game "Hank Lauricella the head man of this offensive pattern engineered the four-touchdown attack with his near-perfect running behind vicious Tennessee blocking but his defensive running mate Bert Rechichar safety man was just as effective on his brilliant steps behind Tennessee clipping JACK HORNER Sports Editor Durham Herald: terrific tackling and vicious blocking band of Tennessee Volunteers completely routed young and inexperienced Blue Devils The nervous and jittery youngsters of Coach Bill Murray blew their major test of the gridiron campaign by fumbling seven times and being charged with 10 rule infractions They had three offside pen alties refused and lost five of the seven miscues' "But the hard-hitting Volunteers had something to do with the wa green kids performed They picked up two touchdowns within the space of one minute and 45 seconds midway the first half striking like lightning and then added two more markers within period of four minutes and 10 seconds in the second half" AwmliM Piwwi AUSTIN Tex Oct Texas found the running attack it has been searching for today and combined it with a proven defense to crush North Carolina
