Doug scored with a Tech pass a year ago The punt coverage team set up the second ID the dose-the-bara-door counter Funny thing about that fumble Dick Spratt was the deep man Jackie kick was high He was waiting for the ball but his arms were at his sides He looked as if would step out of the way at foe last second and hope the ball would hit and bound into the end sone At the very last moment he tried to field the ball lost the handle and there was Stan Mitchell to cover it for the Vblunteers 23 yards from the promised land This was the play that took Houston out of the ball game VOLS in the offensive line fold Coach Doug Dickey they found the Houston defenders extremely hard to block They rated the Cougars one of the strongest teams physically strong that Tennessee has faced This could have had a lot to do with sputtering offense And there were other factors too Tennessee had been last week for Alabama way way up Not only that players find it hard to fire 19 to a gung-ho level for a team from faraway that seldom excels in football that was going into this contest with four defeats in five tries WARREN MCVEA the first Negro to play against Tennessee on Shields-Watkins Field did nothing to help the Houston cause But it is significant that Coach Bin Yeoman continues to use him McVea doubtless has an abundance of natural ability The sophomore flanker has lost his confidence He had made plays that hurt the team He is fully aware of his shortcomings and it could be that he is trying too hard to live up to the fantastic buildup he got in August and September Most of the Houston partisans think the boy needs only a good game and develop into a big star Maybe But yesterday did nothing for him He was the receiver five times He caught one for 12 yards going down under a
