them hemmed up and we got some quick scores We had some people in there late in the game who even know all of the offense It was just one of those days when everything went well thought Coach Green had them well prepared and their line was certainly our equal in the first half But it's just a fact that we had more football players and that was the Turning to defense it was hard for the Tech boss to restrain a smile It was the second straight game without a TD for the opposition and Dodd was searching for ways to thank his new defensive chief Bud Carson defense gave us field position all he commented have to give most of the credit to them for their overall play It's difficult to play sixty minutes of foot ball and make only one defensive mistake But we did that this One of the key defenders cited by Dodd was Haven Kicklighter who has lived rather anonymously in the shadow of Bill Eastman and Sammy Burke think Vandy may have wanted to test Haven some today so small and give the

weaknesses and exposed them to our best attacks just recently has added some thing to his stock and being able to pick out the second receiver He now has a picture of the whole field and he taking advantage of it is one of the best passers had in the last eight or 10 years here I may have had some better in the past but this boy also is a top runner That makes him doubly dangerous and makes our foot ball team that much better now rank him as one of the best quarterbacks in college The slim lefty now a confident junior attempted 24 passes and hit on 17 dropped a few that Kim had right on
